 The problem of reachinb men en- titled to retraining has been compli- cated by the fact that before the Fed eral Board was able to get in direct 900 disabled men were discharged from hospitals in this country alone. To assist the various agencies that are cooperating three million pieces of literature setting forth the op- uortunities provided wounded men have been printed and distributed here and overseas, where there are still tens of thousands of soldiers in hospitals. The two hundred hospi- tals in this country that are discharg- ing men are also covered by agents of the Federal Board, as are hospi- tals in France, arriving transports an the dembilization samps. And in addition to all this scenaro service is being developed through which in moving picture theatres of the coun- try there will be told the story of what the government is willing to do and is doing for it's disabled soldiers, sailors and marines.
 The literature issued by the Fed eral Board in it's effort to make it possible for all men entitled to it's help to know their rights covers many subjects all directed to the com. mon end There are appeals to the men themselves to take advantage ot the opportunities awaiting them and other appeals to relatives and friends who, happy to have their loved ones to make the other struggle that will make them independent and self-sup- porting. And there are still other appeals to employers and workers to help the soldiers who are learning new vacations. In this connection it has been noted that employers gen orally show their willingness to CO., operate with the Federal Board in jlacing disabled soldiers in appren- ticeships while organized labor also extends fraternal hand to the men who are tking their places again in the army of peace.
 With many educational and other experts in it's service the Federal Board seeks to give disabled men the fullest information and advice as to good vocati6ns to study and has pre- pared a series of monographs out lining the possibilities of numerous callings. Among these pamphlets are ones dealing with the lumber in- dustry, Journalism, medicine, cleo trical employments, concrete construc- | tion, employment management, for new one. You refused to be slack CT in military service; no more do YOU mant to be a stacker in civil life. Your country needs your help to restore this war-wasted world. So improve your chance to make the most of yourself by taking training which will give you ability to do your best work. ""
 Recognizing that the families and 1 friends must be depended upon to en- courage disabled men in striving to overcome their handicaps and re- estry pursuits, oXy-acetylene welding, factory woodworking, metal trades and army occupations as prepared for lcivilian employment.
 ! Here is the message the United States Government, through the Fed eral Board for Vocational Education. sends disabled men who are entitled to war risk compensation and there fore re-education.
 Is Duty To Self
 Remember that no matter what your past occupation has been and no matter what your disability is, your first duty to yourself and your coun- try is to get ready to enter some useful and gainful occupation. Whether you have been carpenter or a lawyer. bookkeeper or an en- gineer, miner or an electrician, if you cannot get back to your old job you can probably be trained for a suming their places in the nations industry and business, the government sends them this message:
 "Your soldier will be 'on his own while taking training and men placed in a permanent occupation, but the l Federal Board will keep in close touch with him and see that he gets a square deal and help him along to the goal of being 100 per cent eff cient in his occupation. The future usefulness and happiness of the dis abled men depends upon his decision to take advantage of the offer of the government to give him training. It lis the duty of the friend and family to help him make this decision defi- nitely and quickly"
 To the employers of America give this message:
 !. Charity is not needed. For the first time in the histordy of this o, other nation, Uncle Sam has put his war rpnsions on a nrnnor hos;c oc or
