Men to Get Square Deal.

The disabled ex-service man is GO
ing to get square deal at last. The
passage Of the Sweet bill by congress
has been the signal for a nationwide
drive to clesn up all pending claims
of disabled men for compensation and
vocational training. The campaign
started in Vermont August 22, and
the government officials will be al
Hotel Barton, August 20, and at the
Armory, Newport, August 80.
The plan is to have cleanup squad
made up of government officials visit
every section of the state and to de-
eide, then and there. If possible, the
merits of each case. A medical ex-
aminer, training official of the fed
eral board Of Vocational Education
and contact examiner of compensa-
ton and insurance claims will COM
prise the board of three who will meet
with all men who have claims, inves-
tigate carefully all the circumstances
involved, and advise fully what should
be done. The squad will probably be
accompanied by Allen Fletcher, state
adjutant of the American Legion and
representatives of the veterans OF
foreign wars and the American Red
Cross.
The Sweet bill aims to eliminate
red tape in the treatment of disabled
soldiers. 1t centralizes the three gov.
ernment bodies dealing with ex-service
men into one bureau known as the
Veterans Bureau. It liberalizes the
provisions Of compensation payments
and provides hospital care for all vet
Grams whose disability is traceable to
service. It assumes, without proof
that all tubercular and mental cases
are entitled to compensation. 1t also
establishes liberal reinstatement pro-
visions for War Risk insurance poll
cies that have lapsed.
Every possible effort is being made
by the cleanup squad to acquaint the
ex-service man with what is being
done in his behalf. The American Le-
gion has partially completed plans
for a work of this kind at the various
county fairs, and they will now COOP
crate with the government officials. 1t
is felt that more men may be reached
at these fairs than in any other way.
It is known that many disabled ex-
service men have refused to apply for
hospital treatment or compensation
because of the "red tape" involved.
Persons having knowledge Of such
cases should report them to the Am
erican Legion or Red Cross. The
cleanup squad aims not only to clean
up all pending cases within a very
short time, but will handle new cases
and rush them through with all posi-
BILE dispatch.
Every soldier should bring with him
his discharge certificate and all papers
pertaining to his case.

After the ball game an hour or
more was devoted to the lunch, and
it was here that one by listening
could learn something of the grieve-
ances of our farmer citizens with con-
ditions of the present day, when they
seemingly are bearing the whole
brunt of def1atation. AS class they
were the last to profit by war prices
and then not until their sons and
helpers had been inducted into the SER
vice and men for work unobtainable,
and before they were able to retrieve
themselves, came collapse in the
market for products of the field and
farm. They now see the solidarity of
their situation and are united as nev-
er before in an intelligent effort,
guided by trained leaders, to get what
in justice belongs to them. The meet
ing at the Casino, billed for 2 o'clock
men and women gathered about the
picnic grounds.
The Lyndonville Improvement So
ciety very kindly gave the use of the
Casino for the speaking of the after
noon, which was the real incentive for
the large gathering of men and
women Of the two counties. A farm
ers orchestra composed of w. N
Robinson, piano, p. A. Robinson,
drum, Gather and son,) Mrs. Err
nest Richardson, violin, all of SUIT
ton; and Clayton Ball Of West Burke,
cornet. furnished music for the &C.
casion, for which they received a
rising vote from the assembled Bu-
reau members and Changers.
The meeting at the Casino was
called to order by r. A. Dutton of
Bloomington, president of the Or
leans County Farm Bureau, who in
a few well chosen words, presented
o. L. Martin Of Plainield, master
of the Vermont State Grange, as
chairman of the meeting. Mr.. Mar
tin spoke briefly Of the Grange and
of its history and accomplishments
during 55 years, and introduced Miss
Charlotte Pierpont of the home econ
onlic department Of the Farm Bureau.
Miss Pierpont is quite well known
to Orleans county people and told In
simple language the aims and hopes
of her particular line Of Farm Bu-
and widen the lives of men, women
and children in farm homes and rural
communities, and to mark the diff
ference between housekeeping and
real home making, the center of true
inspiration. She said the farm pro-
duced the most virile type of manhood
and womanhood. In illustrating the
point that the farm home should be
made more attractive, she said that
from 5000 personal visits made they
had learned that 79 per cent of rural
homes were still lighted by kerosene
and only 80 per cent have running
water or systems of heating or sani-
tation. Miss Pierpont stressed indi-
vidual responsibility and invoked ear
nest cooperation in the work.

Mr.. EdltOr:-
In your last Monitor I see you give
the names of three descendants OF
Mayflower passengers. We are not
members of any society, but ara ell
gible, all right, for my mother, Mrs.
Mary Ordway, is a four-line member
of the Mayflower successors, being
eighth generation from George Soule,
Myles Standish, John Alden and Pris-
ella Mullens. We have six ances-
tors who came over in the Mayfower:
Priscilla's father and mother, (Wil-
liam Mullens and wife, Alice) being
the remaining two.
We do not expect you to publish
these facts unless you are getting a
list of such descendents in the coun-
ty. I think there must be several
others.
Respectfully,
Inez J. Winslow.
