PROCLAMATION
We are fast approaching the day in the Temple City area when
every veteran will be an older worker; already today approximately
one -third of our veteran population is over 45 years of age- -
that time of life when too many find it difficult to find jobs.
These veterans are men and women who, as members of the P.rmed
Forces of the United States in time of war served their country
with faith and vigor. They have since demonstrated in their
civilian pursuits their capabilities for similar faithful and
vigorous service to business and industry.
No amount of automation nor technological change can lessen
the need for the characteristics of stability nor weaken the value
of experience which these veterans possess in abundance and make
availabie to Temple City area employers today.
So that our employers may be reminded of these virtues, I,
William A. Harker, Mayor of Temple City, do hereby join with the
veterans' organizations in proclaiming May 3 to 15 HIRE A VETERAN
WEEK. I remind all employers who have job vacancies, actual or
pending, to place job orders with the C lifornia State Employment
Service where, by law, the veteran is assured of priority of
referral to a job.
Mayor of the City of
Temple City, California
