 If a man received an injury or ris dis ability was aggravated yGlile in she service of Uncle Sam during the re-
 cent Word war, and his injury pradents
 him from returning to his former ocell'
 patton, then the Federal Boarl will train this man in a new occupation, ]
 necessary, or will give him ad1itiona training in his old occupation so tha'
 he can develop speciality aid thus overcome his handicap.
 While undergoing his training, Uncle Sam not only takes care of the cost oi tuition, books. supplies, travelling eX penses, but also pays to single mar | $50 per month for maintenance. Ad 1 ditional allowances for dependents Il | the man was disabled it is his duty tt get in touch with this special group il
 order to get quick action on his case. | Under another section of the law th'
 Federal Board will OCT to every mar
 who is receiving compensation from th' l Bureau of War Risk Insurance courses to assist the man to improve his posi- tion These courses are, however, of fered without maintenance pay, as it i
 presumed that the mans disability doe
 not interefere with his return to his for | nor occupation. Thus it will be seel that every man receiving compensation
 may, by his own initiative and with tn aid of the Federal Board, improve him
 self in his chosen vocation.
