 The problem of reaching the men entitled to retraining has been com plicated by the fact that before the Federal Board was able to get in di- rect contact with the patients some 12,000 disabled men were discharged from hospitals in this country alone.
 To assist the various agencies that are cooperating, 3,0OO,OOO pieces of literature setting forth the opportun- ities provided wounded men have been printed and distributed here and overseas, where there are still tens of thousands of soldiers in hospitals. The 200 hospitals in this country that are discharging men are also covered by agents of the Federal Board, as are the hospitals in France, arriving transports and the demobili- zation camps. And in addition to all this, a scenario service is being de- veloped, through which in moving picture theaters of the country, 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.
 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 vacations 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, electri- cal employments, concrete construc- tion, employment management, for estry pursuits, oxy-acetylene weld II ina rs,f faGtqrxXr aa rxXrm as pfe: paration for civilian 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. r. 2. r,.,f
 Remember that no matter what your past occupation has been and 1 no matter what your disability is, your first duty to yourself and. your country is to get ready to enter some !, useful and gainful occupation. Whether you have been a carpenter or lawyer; bookkeeper or an engi- neer, miner or an electrician, if you cannot get back to your old job you can probably be trained for new one. You refused to be a. stacker in :! services; no more do you want to ge stacker in civil life, l Your country needs your help to re- store this war-wasted world. So inn prove 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 friends must be depended upon to en- courage disabled men in striving to overcome their handicaps and resum- ing their places in the nations indus try and business, the government | sends them this message:
 "Your soldier will be 'on his own while taking training and when plac- ed in permanent occupation, but the 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 'lent in his occupation. The future usefulness and happiness of the dis abled men depends upon his decision 10 take advantage of the offer of the government to give him training. It IS the duty of the friend and family to help him make this decision de- 'initely and quickly"
 To the employers of America give his message: ...
 Charity is not needed. For the first time in the history of this or my other nation, Uncle Sam has put lis war pensions on a proper basis IS an insurance obligation. Expen- tive preparations have been made for aking care of the disabled boys, not IS beggars but as self respecting nen. This is a substantial return in gratitude. However, the best return he country can make for the service hese injured men have rendered is c give them their opportunity to perform in the years after the war, he same quality of national service hey have rendered during the war. n this work the help of the employ r is indispensable. The Federal Board calls upon every employer to id in the intelligent discharge of his task"
