Notes

The UNITED STATES CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION has issued a call for occupational therapists for government hospitals. 'As increasing numbers of injured soldiers return to the hospitals, more and more occupational therapists are needed to aid in their adjustment to normal life. In greatest demand are experienced graduates of accredited occupational therapy schools. Experience should be in hospitals acceptable to the American Medical Association. For some positions, however, college training in psychology and in arts and crafts or trades and industries, or experience as a junior aide in Veterans' hospitals, may be substituted for training in occupational therapy schools. Other positions will be filled by inexperienced graduates of occupational therapy schools. The salary range of these positions is $1,970 to $2,433 a year, including overtime pay. Those appointed at $1,970 will be trainees for a period of eighteen months; those appointed at $2,190 and $2,433 will administer occupational therapy under medical and general supervision in Army and Veterans' hospitals. There are no age limits and no written tests… Further information on Occupational Therapy Aide positions and forms for applying can be obtained from first-and second-class post offices or from the United States Civil Service Commission, Washington, 25, D. C.'
