THE CLEANUP SQUAD

No more important work in behalf
of the men who served in the armed
forces of the United Stases during the
world war, has been undertaken than
the campaign of the cleanup squad of
government agencies, the Red Cross,
and the American Legion, which be-
gins here on October 1st to 5th.
Practically as soon as the armistice
was signed, the various government
bureaus began activity in settling the
thousands of war claims of men who
were in the service. A tremendous
amount of work has been accomplish
ed, but still there are hundreds upon
hundreds of ex-service men, entitled
to the various forms of governmental
aid who have either never filed claims
for this assistance that the govern
ment is glad to give, or whose claims
have never been satisfied because the
business had to be done through
lengthy, red tapped, patience destroy
ing correspondence, alike unsatisfac-
tory to the government and the man
the government would aid
This is the situation the cleanup
SQUAD would remedy. Briefly, the
plan is this. A squad of experts, IA
miliar in every detail with war insur-
ance, the vocational educational pro-
visions, monetary compensation, med
zeal treatment, disqualification, is sent
to scour the country for men entitled
to aid. By getting in personal touch
with the men, these experts can file
their claims properly and can oil the
governmental machinery so that all
claims filed viii be promptly and sat
isfactorily settled. Instead of the
men having to seek out the govern
mental bureaus. those same bureaus,
through the cleanup squad, seek out
the men.
In this connection, it is vitality i'm
portant that anyone in any community
in which the squad is operating, who
knows of man who is entitled to aid
or who may be entitled to aid, furnish
members of the squad with his name
and address, so that he may be found
and satisfied.
Through this means, the cleanup
squad can accomplish the one pur-
pose that actuates it's activities. 1t
can clean up.
The cleanup squad that will arrive
in Ocala Oct 1st consists of four ply
sicians, five experienced claim bureau
men, from Washington, and one Red
Cross overseas woman.
