Urges Unemployed Men
To Register
from the Courier Tribune, 3 Feb 1941, page 1
This newspaper is keeping in close touch with the Nemaha draft board, because hundreds of Nemaha county young men and their families arc interested in draft news.
Number of men sent their questionnaires in Nemaha county remains at 340 . The county draft board has had no further orders from state headquarters to send more questionnaires.
The county board placed 69 men of the 340 in class 1 A. Twenty-nine of these men had taken medical tests b̌y Saturday. Sixteen white men and one colored have passed, slightly -more than half.
The county draft board has a letter from the state office which reports that effort will be made to help men get employment after they have had a year in the army. The letter refers particularly to men not employed before joining Uncle Sam’s forces. They are asked to register with their state employment service before starting their training; the state office will keep a special file on them while they are in service, try to help them get a job when they leave.
S. C. Swenson, employment officer, Manhattan, makes Seneca every two weeks. The local draft board office has forms for appointments with Swenson, will help any draft registrant make an appointment with him.
