If any foreigner was to ster

Gle Sam wasn't sincere, didn't
live up to his obligations, fail
ed to make good his promises,
you would probably try to
knock his block off.
Uncle Sam is sincere, is hon.
orable, tries always to make
good, backs up to the letter his
ideals and endeavors to attain
his ambitions.
And when he fails anywhere
along the line it's the folks at
home who do not toe the line
of duty. Who tie his hands.
Right now Uncle Sam is ask.
ing you to help him meet the
greatest obligation he has eve,
faced.
The task of finishing this
war job rightly.
he asks 1T In his name, in
the name of every khaki clad
soldier in the land.
In the name of every one Of
those 10000 boys who never
came back!
And the size of your bond
measures the depth of vo,,r
gratitude for all they have saw.
ed to you.

knowledge or skill as 4 background for
Intensive training. the problem of the
Federal Board for Vocational Educa-
ton Of starting them in their courses

Many men are in this class and their
placement is easy, but large number
OF applicants for training have not
competed the elementary school
courses. and many arc found to be H.
literate, not even having an under
standing OF the English language. Be
cause OF these conditions the problem
of arranging for their training has
been difficult one.
II has often involved special ar
rangemcnts, necessitatinE particular
classes and instructors supplementary
equipment and additional space in the
institution where the training is given.
This the Federal Board has always
gladly arranged. as the ultimate good
of the disabled man is the goal to-
wards which 1t works. To eGuip the
wounded soldier for his struggle with
life. notwithstanding his handicap. is
the end and aim of the vocational
