GOVERNMENT MAN
HERE IN INTEREST
OF WOUNDED men
Compehsations And Free
Training Given Those
Manned in War.

G. N. Anderson, of the Federal
| Board for Vocational Training, divis-
ion of rehabilitation, arrived in the
city yesterday, and will remain here
today looking into the cases of Pine
Bluff men who were disabled while in
the service. All men who were dis
abled in the service will be given by
the government compensation, and
if desired by the man, free training
in some school or college to fit him
for the activities of life. The compen-
sation, of course, varies, and the
amount is dependent on the nature of
the disability, as for instance, a
man with both eyes blinded would re-
ceive greater compensation than a
man with hand gone, or finger
lost.
Mr.. Anderson stated that the pur-
pose of the vocational board of the
government, of the division of re-
Mobilization was to give the disabled
men training along some definite line
in order to Offset the handicap they
naturally were under by being ply
sically and in some cases nervously
disabilitated.
Provisions Ample.
The government will not operate
school of it's own according to Mr..
Anderson, but will send the men to
the school nearest them which af-
fords the training that they desire.
Fifty-five dollars month will be
granted the men while in the col
leges, with the other allowances
which were allowed while in the ser
vice. Including food, clothing, etc.
An instance cited by Mr.. Anderson
regarding the training is the case of
man from Arkansas who desired
to study engineering. Naturally, he
would be sent to the University of
Arkansas at Fayetteville, while if he
desired to study something which
was not included in the curriculum at
the state university, he would be sent
to some other college as near his
home state as possible.
Seventeen Men. Here.
