LEGION OFFICER ID WORK ALI
 OVER COUNTY
(From Saturdays Daily.O


 Frank Steed, newly appointed local agent of the federal board for voca- tional education, is quite enthusiastic over the opportunity afforded by the local field to accomplish genuine re- constructive work among the eN- service men, who have come to Yava- pal county to secure the convalescent benefit of the justly famed climate of this section.
 As local agent, MT. Steed will di- vide his time between the veterans at the United States Public Health Service hospital Whipple barracks, and the men located in the various communities of this district.
 The local chapter of the Red Cross consistent with its policy and prac- tice oi forwarding the interest of the war veterans has arranged desk room for him in the Community house on south Marina street.
 The assistance and cooperation of the legion posts throughout the coun- ty to locate disabled men whose handicaps can be overcome in whole or in part Of securing for them suita- ble mad practical advantages, will be feature of the intensive effort which MT. Steed will make to hasten the deserved benefits which every wounded and disabled veteran has coming to him as a matter Of right.
 As local agent, MT. Steed will be in direct touch with the headquarters of this district Placement Training Officer Dodd, at San Francisco, will receive the complete surveys directly from Mr. Steed ,and immediate ac- ton will thus be assured. If a choice of a school is made by the eX-service man, the local agent has direct con tact with College Placement Officer Kibbey. Any special training or question will receive expeditions ac ton through a letter direct to Gen eral Supervisor Bartlett, who has au- thority to do it, and do it now.
 Mir. Steed has only the highest praise for the personality and the evident enthusiasm and executive ability of Nicholas Ricciardi, the chief vocational officer, in charge of the Twelfth district, which includes California, Nevada and Arizona. When action seems a little tardy on matters that are oi immediate i'm portance to a veteran securing the cooperation of the board in his ef- forts to so train himself that he can do a whole mans share of work asI a leo per cent American, the local agent has but to address a wire to his chief, and results will follow. Such is MT. Steed's opinion, backed up by trainees from this county who know
 Announcements through the press of this city, and by placards, will inform ex-service men where and att what time the local agent may bel found.
 MT. Steed is empowered to arrange for the examination by a physician of the applicants for training, to fill out all the blanks and applications that are necessary, and that at one and the same and the first time, so that long delays will be avoided, and the training and the funds necessary thereto will be quickly available fo4I the veteran.
 MT. Steed holds the office of adju- tant of the Ernest Love Post of the American Legion, and in addition to his duties with the vocational board will assist in matters of compensa- ton, delayed payments, insurance and will soon be in position to tell not only disabled soldiers but any veteran what laws have been passed tfat are of interest to him, what laws arc pending, and also to help locate rooms, employment and a tip as to the social and recreational opportuni- ties of the community.
