dustry to meet their stated equal opportunity objectives. About 10,000 discharges every month will be Negroes or other minorities. The veteran, whatever his color, will be the first to acknowledge that the searing flares of Vietcong firepower somehow failed to make any ethnic distinctions in seeking out human targets.
Moreover, the returning veteran will be more amenable to apprenticeship because of the financial assistance provided in the Veterans' Pension and Readjustment Assistance Ace of 1967. Regardless of the wages paid by an employer, this legislation initially authorizes a monthly training assistance allowance of $80 to the single veteran and $90 to $100 for the veteran with one or more dependents, with a sliding scale of assistance as they move up the financial ladder.
The veteran-apprentice will thus be in a better position to withstand the "leaner" period of apprenticeship. Because of this, he will be less distracted, more trainable, more single minded, and more determined. To the apprenticeship sponsor this will mean far fewer cancellations and a much higher completion rate.
Time has the universal habit of not standing still. On the other hand, all those conditions conducive to training in the craft skills are here now. There will hardly be a time more acceptable for concerted action in at least neutralizing the shortages of trained manpower skills. Neither will there likely be a more suitable, or more desirable apprentice candidate than the Vietnam veteran.

"OUR
LULL
4D3-40 HIGH LIFT

18 BRICKLAYERS..."
Moving right through the roughest conditions is the Union Brick 403-40 shown above. Four-Wheel Drive and four-Wheel Steering gave this unit dependable power and excellent maneuverability.
"SAVED US ABOUT
$250 A WEEK!"
George R. Powell, president of Union Brick Construction Corporation of Virginia Beach, Virginia, has this to say about their Lull 4D3-40 Four-Wheel Drive HIGH LIFT.
"Our experience with the above mentioned unit has been very favorable... to the degree that last fall, on the rugged terrain of our job involving 120 three-story apartments in Greensboro, North Carolina, it saved us approximately $250.00 per week. This machine serviced approximately 18 bricklayers...we would have required two fork lifts of a two-wheel drive capacity had we not had our Lull on the job.
Later on, when winter set in with the mud, mire and slush, it saved us even more! Nothing slowed our 4D3-40 down, while 75% of the jobs in the area had to close due to inadequate material handling equipment.
We sincerely feel that the investment we have made on this machine puts us in a position to figure jobs and expedite the masonry needs under any working conditions. Our next fork lift will be another Lull Model 4D3-40!"
