Gold Star Mothers May Be Given Preference In Civil Service
B G Hamblin, Director of the San Diego County Veterans Service Department, says a 80th Congress change to the Veterans Preference Act of 1944 allows premothers to receive preference in federal civil service exams and appointments under certain conditions. If the mother has not remarried and was widowed at the time of the son or daughter’s death or disability, she qualifies. If divorced or separated, the veteran must have been an only child. Residents may obtain full information at Room 334 Spreckels Theatre Building, San Diego.
