The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1921-03-11

IL WuSl De borne III nina by every
e~X-service man who desires to take adj
vantage of the help which may come
from this visiting squad that they
must visit the town which has been
designated as the meeting place for
their particular territory. Conse-
quently all eX-service men in the here
inbefore mentioned six counties who
desire the information which will be
available as the result of the visit
of the squad must be in Glasgow with
the necessary credentials and papers
on either Friday, March Doth or Sat-
urday, March Both.
1t has been called to the attention
of those in charge of the tour that
different towns are expected that they
may be able to induce the squad to
visit their community in person, and
that these towns are advising ex-ser-
vice men to that effect. If this Is
being done, it is sufficient 70 state
that a gross injustice is being rem
dered the men who desire to confer
with these officials, for, as it is an
%nounced, this is the last tour of this
kind that will be made, and conse-
quently the last opportunity for
the securing of such vocational advice.
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 man has not as yet made APP
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 case 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 case acted upon
and decided. If he is found eligible for
training he will be placed in training
immediately if he so desires.
The squad will be made up of spe-
cial counselors and advisors, an ex-
aiming physician from the Minneapo-
lis office and an eligibility officer 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 mar 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 War Risk Insur-
ance letter awarding him compensation
and compensation check. These docu-
ments are absolutely necessary to a
decision of his case.
Every man who wishes to avail him
self of this opportunity is asked to get
IN touch with the American Legion of
the American Red Cross. This will be
the only general tour of the state
made by the squad and every man is
urged to avail himself of this oppor-
tunity. 1t is not known whether there
will be another opportunity of the
members Of the board making personal
visits out in the territory to see the
men. The Importance of the coming
to this center of every man who has
a claim against the board, therefore,
is easily seen.
