By CLIFFORD THURMAN NURSES make better wives than girls from almost
any other profession. That startling statement
will be challenged by many.
Pretty Indianapolis secretaries, models, shop girls and
others aren't going to like it.

That's the basic mathematical formula underlying Uncle Sam's lesson for the employers of America which will. receive special emphasis in Indianapolis and Ins diana this coming week. You'll read it on posters in the postoffice on government trucks and municipal buildings for the rest of the year: “Employment for the Physfcally Handicapped plus the Right Job equals ‘Good Business.” Simple as ABC, isn’t it? That's just one of the lessons Indiana American Federation 61 Physically Handicapped, Inc, the Indianapolis Business and Professional Women’s Club and Altrusa Club will try to get over to the public as Hoosierland observes National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week for the next seven days. = ” o ” NEPH WEEK, as government . bureaucratic language describes the occasion, was written into law by the 79th Congress. And President Truman has a fulltime committee planning the year round on how to make that week most productive. In close - co-operation. with American Federation of the Physically Handicapped, Inc. Gov. Shricker has also named a special committee to promote | the finding of jobs suitable for phlivsically handicapped. The committee includes: John
Division; John Bartee, Congress of Industrial Organizations; David Cunningham, Tokheim Oil Tank and Pump Co.; Hugh Gormley, American Federation of Labor; James C. Herod, Veierans of Foreign Wars; Fred Jenkins, State Veteran Employment representative; Russell H.
