Constantly Able to Advise the Men as
to What Government is Doing in
Order to Rehabiitate
Them.
HELP TO LOCATE MEN
Addresses are Obtained from the Field
Directors and Wounded Men
are Given
Aid.

A wide range Of service IS supplied
disabled veterans of the world war
and the federal board for vocational
education by the American Red Cross
in helping the government program
for the rehabilitation OF thees men.
Through its chapters and individual
workers the Red Cross is in close
touch with the men, and IS constantly
in a position to advise them Of what
the government offers TO restore them
ito useful stations in life as well as
! to provide friendly assistance in
manifold forms. It's assistance IS also
available to the federal board.
In virtually all of the fourteen dis
! trict vocation offices established by
+ the federal board throughout the
! United States, the Red Cross main
tains trained workers, and in most or
/ the schools and colleges where the
men are in training there is Red
Cross worker to look after their inter
ests. In association with the district
officers of the board, the Red Cross
! is instrumental in various ways, In
locating the men who are eligible; in
getting the message across TO ex-serv-
ice men who are not aware OF the
opportunities open to them; arranS-
ling for interviews between the men
and the district officers; advisinS
proper courses; and assisting in many
matters of procedure incfde ent to en-
tering training. such as filing appli-
cations and adjusting claims and
| compensation.
70 Through the efforts of Red Cross
home service workers who are m
! close touch with the families of ex-
service men, many who would not
otherwise have entered training are
! persuaded to do so. 1t Is sometimes
found that a man is refusing because
; of influence brought to bear by rela-
! tives who wish him to remain at
home. In such instances the friendly
ladvice of the Red Cross worker IS
often the means Of convincing the
family of the benefits of vocational
education and the result It will have
! on the mans future welfare.

! Many times the board refers to the
Red Cross the names Of men they
cannot locate. In one locality, the
Red Cross learned of fifteen men
whose medical report the federal
board had, but for whom no addresses
were gwen. From the medical report
the Red Cross learned the places
where the men were discharged,
wrote to the Red Cross field directors
in the various camps and finally Oh
tanned the addresses Of virtually all
iof the men with the result the men
are now in training.
There also is assistance given in
matters Of transportation and in ex
pedlting procedure SO that men may
enter training as soon AS possible. In
his home town. home service is pro
'vided for veterans family, if neces-
sary, eand in the new community to
which he goes, the Red Cross aids ir
esta blishing him IN his school life.
In one of the universities where
there are a great many men under
going vocatio ional training, there is a
Red Cross home service Office on the
campus for the purpose of looking
after the interests Of the men.
A very vallla BILE form of Red Cross
aid to the men established In ira IN
ing is opening clubs for groups of
men in places where they are not
adequately provided for in the cor
lege ormitories. This has worked
out effectively in Buffalo and Brook
lyn, New York. In Providence, RHODE
Island, where there are some one
hundred and twenty-five men in train
ing at the Rhode Island School of
Design and at a business college, the
Red Cross, working in conjunction
with the schools, has inaugurated
plan providing for the readaptauon /
of the Service Mems club to the needs
of federal board men.
