The fallowing is a story straight from the. horse’s mouth - well, it came from Army HQ, anyway. Shortly after the outbreak of war, Mr, Jones, personnel manager of a large and well-known chain store wrote to the Army Dept, offering his services and sat down to wait patiently, but in vain, for an answer. Hot long afterwards a high "brass hat” called on Mr. Jones' l firm and interviewed its president with the idea of obtaining a good personnel man for a-War Dept, position. The president said ”lßm sure you couldn’t find a better man any?here than our personnel manager, Mr* Jones, and should you need him, I shall be only too ,pleased to grant him leave of absence for the duration.” In due course Mr. Jones became Major Jones and finally Lt.Qol.Jones. . Quite recently he was home on leave and one day received a letter from the Army Dept., an answer at last to the original letter of ’application,
saying that his services were not required by the Department. It was signed by Lt .Col. Jones 1 .11
