Sandberg, secre-. October is Coat Month at Carmens! Carl Boedecker Is Making Good on 6HandicappedJob iHEY FISHED Carl Boedecker A out of the ice-cold English channel after 24 hours afloat following the sinking of the destroyer on which he was serving during the Normandy invasion, Then they put him on an LST bound for an English hospital where they amputated his frozen feet. In January. 1946, the youth 'from Wauwatosa was discharged from the service. He had been treated in naval hospitals at Philadlephia and Boston and given artificial limbs.

Boedecker, eager to become journalist, wanted work. In August, he obtained a job with the Wisconsin Press association here through the co-operation of the veterans administration and Carl Zielke, manager of the association. TODAY AND all this week, National Employ the Physic ally Handicapped week, is to be emphasized. Boedecker is one of many persons who are physically handicapped as a result of war injuries. There are countless others, handicapped by accidents in the shop or on the highway or for other causes, who are able to work if they are placed in the right job.

Locally, National Employ the Physically Handicapped week is sponsored by three agencies. They are the division of vocational rehabilitation of the state board of vocational and adult education, the state employment service, and the veterans administration. Boedecker explained that his de stroyer, the USS Rich, was sunk by German mines June 8, 1944, while its crew was picking battle survivors from the water during the invasion of Normandy. I intended to go to the university journalism school after my discharge from the navy he said, but climbing the Hill and the stairs to the fourth floor of South hall would have been too much. So I 'decided to get journalism training on the job.

Carl Boedecker, 24-year-old disabled veteran employe of the Wisconsin Press association, is shown above as he reads through a copy of The Capital Times at the association office. Boedecker is one of piany handicapped persons who have been placed in the right' job and fills the position well. Carl's experience serves to illustrate National Employ the Physically Handicapped week, today through Saturday. The Return of Our Hoodcoat!

During the week the public is being asked to encourage employ ers to hire physically handicapped persons and to encourage the hand lcapped to seek employment for which they are fitted. Surveys, including 450 employers and 88,600 handicapped work ers, made in a department of labor survey by the U. S.

Production efficiency records revealed that 73 of impaired workers produced at a rate as good or better than their fellow workers.
