Legion Cleanup Squad

The disabled ex service man is going &c
get square deal at last. D." At least Uncle
Sam is going to make strenuous efforts to
see that he does, and If the men themselves
will CO operate they will get what right
fully belongs to them. The passage of the
Sweet Bill has been the signal for ma.
tion-wide drive to clean UP all pending
claims Of disabled men against the govern.
ment and the campaign starts in Vermont
August 22nd.
The plan is to have cleanup squad,
made up OF Government officials and
Others representing organizations interes.
ted in the soldiers welfare, visit every
section of the state and to decide then
and there. if possible, the merits of each
case. This squad will consist of Con.
tact Representative. examining physician
and vocational board official. 1t will prob.
ably be accompanied by Allen Fletcher,
State adj. of the American Legion and
representative of The Veterans of Foreign
Wars and The American Red Cross.
Wednesday and Thursday. August 23rd,
and Oath. the squad will be at Morrisvile
and their headquarters will be. at the
Lamoille County Fair, where the legion
has arranged for its accommodation.
The Sweet bill aims to eliminate red
tape in the treatment of disabled soldiers.
1t centralizes the three government bodies
dealing with ex.service men into one
bureau known as the Veterans Bureau.
1t liberalizes the provisions of compensa.
ton payments and provides hospital care
for all veterans whose disability is trace
ably to service. 1t assumes. without
proof, that all tubercular and mental
cases, are entitled to compensation. 1t
News and citizen. [volume] (Morrisville, Vt. ;) 1881-current, 1921-08-24

also establishes liberal reinstatement pre-.
visions for War Risk Insurance policies
that have lapsed. Any ex.service man
who has dropped his insurance and who
is not permanently and totally disabled
may be reinstated by the payment OF all
back premiums.
Every possible effort is being made by
the clean up squad to acquaint the ex-
service man with what is being done in
his behalf. The American Legion had
practically completed plans for a work of
this kind at the various county fairs, and
they will now cooperate with the govern
ment officials. 1t is felt that more men
maybe reached at these fairs than in any
other way.
1t is known that great many disabled
exservice men have refused to apply for
hospital treatment or compensation be.
cause of the red tape" involved. Per-
sons having knowledge of such cases
should report them to the American Le-
gion or Red Cross, The cleanup Squad
aims, not only to clean up all pending
cases within very short time, but will,
of course, handle new cases and will handle
same with the greatest possible dispatch.

NAL crop this year all cotton will
have to be sacrificed.
