The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1921-03-04

District No. 10 of the Federal Board
for Vocational Education is going to
send a squad of men into all sections
of the state to place disabled men in
training. This squad will be able to
make medical examination, certify to
official papers, advise men as to train
ing and give them transportation to
schools. All this will be done while
they are in the different localities
which they are going to visit.
They will be in Glasgow 81 March
20 and 80, at the Chamber of Com
merce rooms and all disabled eX-ser-
vice men in Sheridan, Roosevelt. Val
ley, Phillips and Blaine counties should
see them at that time and place. These
men s~hould%bring with them all the
official military and government pa
pers which they have in their posses
sion as these are necessary in order
that the squad may inform them as
to whether or not they are eligible
for training.
This means that the Board is coming
to the man as nearly as possible. All
ex-service men to whom this notice
comes should inform others whom they
think may be interested, telling them
of the facts. Every disabled ex-service
man who is hindered in carrying on
his pre-war occupation should receive
training so that he can compete with
others. This squad is out to see that
such men get into training. If each
man will give his assistance, hundreds
of disabled veterans in Montana should
go into training.
The coming of these representatives
of the Federal Board for Vocational
Education on the days mentioned will,
it is hoped by those concerned, reach
the attention of every man who might
have a claim against this department
of the government and that the visit
of these representatives will mean for
each man the following things:
If any mar has not as yet made ap-
plication for vocational education such
application will be made for him on
the spot. He will be Immediately ex-
amined by a physician of the board and
his case rated. The East will then be
passed upon by a mar who is with the
squad and who is a representative of
the central office of the board at
Washington, D. c., and if he is found
by this representative to be eligible
he will be placed in training immedi
ately, if he so desires.
Any man who has made application
for training but whose case has not
been completed because of lack of pa
pers, may have these papers complet-
ed on the spot and his acted upon and
decided. If he is foun eligible for
training he will be placed in training
Immediately, if he so desires.
The squad, will be made up of spe-
cial councillors and advisors, an ex-
amining physician from the Minneapo-
lis office and an eligibility officer also
from the Minneapolis office, but who
represents the central office in Wash
ington. The special counselors and
advisors will help each man to deter
mine the kind of training which he
may desire to take up; or, where this
has already been done, will aid him in
completing any papers necessary in
order that a rating may be made. The
doctor will examine him to determine
whether or not he has a disability. The
Washington representative will then
act upon the case and decide whether
or not the man is eligible.
Each man is asked to bring with
him all of the following official pa
pers which he has in his possession
original or certified copy of honorable
discharge, Bureau of Val Risk lnSur.
ance letter awarding him compensation
and compensation check. These docu.
ments are absolutely necessary to 6
decision on his case.
Every man who wishes to evail him.
self of this opportunity is asked to ge'
in touch with the American Legion OF
the American Red Cross. This will bt
the only general tour of the State
made by the squad and every man il
urged to avail himself of this oppor
tunity. 1t is not known whether there
will be another opportunity of tn
members of the board making persona
visits out in the territory to see tn
men. The Importance of the comm,
to this center of every man who ha
a claim against the board, therefore
is easily seen.
