Jewish Vocational
War Guidance Service
Probably no more important or
confusing problem confronts each
of us today than finding his place
in the war effort. As Paul V.
McNutt, chairman of the War
Manpower Commission has put it,
"Every American who is not al-
ready in war industry or some
supporting activity should now
replan his own life." Mr. Mc-
Nutt and others have also ninde
it clear that whether or not a
manpower control bill is passed,
the nation must rely primarily on
individual initiative for this re-
planning. We Jews especially, be-
cause the work normally done by
so many of us is now classed as
non-essential, must act as intel-
ligently as possible so that each
of us can make his contribu-
tion toward the victory that is so
important to all.
What questions do we need to
ask ourselves (and answer) in or-
der to take intelligent action?
Here are a few:
What is actually involved when
the Jewish man switches from a
white collar job to a war fac-
tory? What can he expect to
earn? What problems may he
meet in getting along with his
non-Jewish fellow workers? Are
there reasons why he should take
defense training even though he
can get a job in a war factory
without it?How can he go about
deciding among the dozens of de-
fense training courses given in
the city? What personal quali-
fications are needed for success
in each of these different kinds
of training?
What kind of work have most
Jewish women done up to now?
What are some of the hundreds
of kinds of work — in war fac-
tories, in government employ-
ment, and within the army and
navy — in which they are need-
ed now? What kind of personal
adjustments must they make in
changing over t othese new kinds
of work?
What kinds of jobs await our
young people still in school? What
changes in their plans does the
nation now want them to make?
Can they plan their education
now in such a way that they will
be preparing themselves for the
things they will have to do to
help win the war, and, at the
same time, salvage their careers?
How many elderly workers and
the physically handicapped find
their highest point of usefulness
in industry? What kinds of jobs
can people like these do best?
And what kinds of training ought
they to take?
And finally, what does the per-
son about to enter the armed
services need to know about the
different kinds of specialties ur-
gently needed there? And how
can he prepare himself for this
work?
These questions are best an-
swered individually, and can be
answered—by the staff of the
Jewish Vocational Service, 5737
Second Boulevard (near Palmer).
The office is open Monday through
Friday, from 8 to 5, and for
those persons now working or at-
tending school, war guidance serv-
ice will be now available Tues-
day, Wednesday and Thursday
evenings from 7 to 10 p. m. Call
TR. 2-4080, or write for an ap-
pointment. Be prepared! Do your
planning and replanning now.
This is a free community serv-
ice, sponsored by your Jewish
Welfare Federation.
