Defaulting An Obligation
Only one out of every nine handicapped World War II
veterans who applied for employment during the month of Jan-
uary got a job, according to General Omar N. Bradley's report
to the national employmentconference of The American Legion
in Washington, D. C. Nearly 52,000 such disabled veterans
looked for work. Less than 6,000 found it.
Is this what they fought for ?
No one is more entitled to gainful employment than the
veteran who gave his most to our common victory. For the
men who contributed arms, legs or eyes in the bloody marches
on Berlin and Tokyo, the war will never be over. No one can
ever replace the cost of their devotion.
But we should enable them to become self-sustaining mem-
bers of our communities. That is an obligation on which we
are defaulting.
Every community in our land should organize immediately
to give top job priority to these trained disabled veterans. In
this effort, management, labor unions, civic organizations should
co-operate like a team.
Giving these disabled veterans the opportunity to earn
their own way is an obligation that rests inescapably on every
American. They paid that all of us might remain:free. We
must not, we can not, default on our obligation toHMm..

The $34,450. goal of the 194(5
Fund Campaign for the Cape
Cod Chapter, American Red
Cross, has been exceeded. $40,-
320.45 has been received, Ken-
neth E. Wilson, general chair-
man, announced today. He
added that this figure is not
the final one, since several town
chairmen still expect reports
from a few of their solicitors.
According to Frederick L. Hull,
local fund chairman, the total re-
ceived in District 2, comprised of
Barnstable , Yarmouth and Dennis,
was 118,912.93, which was 128.2 per
cent ot the $10,851.75 quota. The
Town of Barnstable , with a quota
of $7,923.50, reported a total col-
lection of $9,867.23, or 124.5 per
cent, Henry L. Murphy, town chair-
man aaid.
Commenting on the conscientious
work of the town and district
chairman and the hundreds of soli-
citors who volunteered so readily
to help make the 1946 drive a suc-
cess, Mr. Wilson said "Every per-
son on Cape Cod, who contributed
to the Red Cross, will be proud to
know that we have achieved our
quota, for this means that we have
not let down on our obligations to
wounded veterans, to service men
J overseas, and especially that we
can carry on In 1946 Red Cross
service to everyone on Cape Cod
who may need it.
"It means that Home Service will
continue to help over 300 service-
men and their families each month.
It means that in event of disaster,
emergency food , shelter and cloth-
ing will be supplied to the victims,''
It meant that First Aid and Water
Safety programs will ,be in full
swing this Bummer. In short, It
means that your Red Cross will go
on serving you wherever and when-
ever it can.

Drive Goes
Over the Top Net proceeds of the 1946 March
of Dimes campaign in Barnstable
County were more than double (he
amount raised in 1946, Vincent D.
O'Nell, county chairman of the
drive , has announced.
The total net proceeds received
In the 1946 campaign to date were
$5,625.58 compared to $2,664,34 for
the 1945 campaign. Total county
expenses In 1946 for this campaign
were $825.20 compared to $96,27 in
1945.
The difference In these two fig-
ures Is largely accounted for by the
Inclusion In the 1946 campaign of a
program whereby 10,000 dime cards
were mailed to automobile owners
In the county with the cost of the
j card s, postage, and secretarial sal-
ary for addressing and tabulating
returns amounting to additional
1946 costs of approximately $600,
the returns ot which far exceeded
the cost as will be shown In figures
below.
Town by town the proceeds for
1946 as compared to 1945, wore us

Report Shows Big
Rise Over 1945
The still existing evil of animal
abandonment on Cape Cod is stress-
ed In the annual report of Mrs.
Rockwell Coffin ot Harwichport, di-
rector of the Cape Cod Branch of
the Animal Rescue League of Bos-
ton,
Excerpts from the report follow:
"In November, we alluded to the
still existing evil of animal aban-
donment. In early autumn one of
our members wrote : 'I am «lad to
send at least this small donation,
wishing It could be more. I have
just taken in a poor little pup left
nlone on a bridge by some hard-
hearted person , and given him a
home.'
"Sometimes reports from 'off
Cape' reach us that stories about
stray cats are exaggerated. One
can only feel that if such critics
were on the spot dealing day in and
day out with these cases, they
would realize that understatement,
not the reverse, is our rule.
"Looking back through the
months certain experiences lack-
ing drama, no doubt, but none the
less poignant, come to mind. We
recall that rainy day when after
parking In one of our busiest cen-
ters a small black -cat emerged
from the traffic and came limping
,ohtti (i us. Tirt- h tiotu a cautious
distance, she stopped to survey us,
holding up one wounded paw while
large yellow eyes questioned what
manner of creature was this?
Somebody who might kick or strike
her again?
