The City That Was

Another tale well calculated to keep you in... suspense. The City That Was. Written for suspense by Richard Weil. When you need someone to do a specific type of job, you hire someone specially trained to do that job after all this is an age of specialization.

But what you may not know is that right now, there are several hundred thousand men and women who have received special training and are searching for employment. These folks, many of whom are veterans, have physical handicaps, which actually often makes them better able to fill specific jobs.

Does that sound strange? Well, maybe so, but here's the explanation. These men and women, recognizing their shortcomings, have sought and received special rehabilitation and training in specific areas of work. They are highly skilled because they've been taught to make best use of the physical and mental abilities they possess.

So if you're looking for help, contact your state employment service and ask about physically handicapped workers. Employing the physically handicapped is good business. It is now 50 years since the first motion picture was made, was made amidst the orange groves of a sleepy little California village called Hollywood, and a Latter-day Gold Rush began. Hollywood quickly became a sprawling, brawling boom town,

and, true to the tradition of the Western frontier, a tradition that helped to create and as fondly fostered, Hollywood lived violently, and not a few of its citizens died violently with and sometimes without their boots on.

The stakes were high, world-wide fame, an undrempt of fortune, and the passions that poured onto the silver screen sometimes spilled over into private lives with lethal results. In a moment, the city that was by Richard Wyatt.
