South Side airport traffic grows amid plans for expansion
Chicago airport manager John Casey reports rapid growth at the 63rd Street and Cicero field with 287 passengers per hour on flights, 6,893 daily passengers across 352 flights, and a surge in January to May totals. He notes demand for 60 percent more hangar space, pending new terminals and runways, and discusses moving operations to the Douglas site in the future, which itself requires highway infrastructure and remains uncertain.

Veterans Return to Civilian Life Amidsteadily Rising Jobs
The article notes a smooth transition of discharged service members into civilian work. By April this year nearly 12 million veterans had left the military, with eight million finding jobs, two million in schooling or rest, and one million unemployed. Veterans comprised large shares of factory hires, with heavy industry employing about half veterans. By end of April about 700,000 veterans pursued education, including 170,000 in some program.
Veterans Train and Enter Education Programs Amid Wartime
The piece notes 1.5 million more applied for educational benefits but have not yet entered school. It cites 2 million to be discharged from service by month end, with one million on vacation and one million unemployed.
