BUREAU CHIEF
HERE TO MEET
DISABLED MEN

of Those Taking Training
Here.

To discuss problems met up with dis
abled veterans of the war, especially
those who are taking vocational train
ing, a meeting Of men Of this classified
ton will be held tonight at American
Legion headquarters, it was announced
Friday by Lief Frederieks, chief of the
rehabilitation Of the United States vet
erans' bureau, after his arrival from
Helena.
"At the meeting the men will be given
a better idea of what the bureau, is en-
deavoring to do, and of their own obliga-
tions and privileges" said Fredericks.
There occasionally arises m%isunder-
standings about training details, courses
offered disabled men and other mat
ters. These will be discussed"
Eight hundred men now are taking
training in Montana, of whom IS are
in Great Falls, Fredericks said. He
believes that the peak has been reached
in numbers of men placed in training,
but that the enrolment will remain at
about the present figure for another
year before it begins to diminish. Train
ing Is being given in a total of 10 cities
of the state.
1--WE have proceeded far enough with
the work so that we know how much
the men are being benefited by their
training. and it is entirely accurate to
say they are profiting very materially"
he continued. VIRTUALLY all of the men
will be successfully rehabilitated. One
hundred and fifty men have completed
the courses given by the bureau and
are employed or are practicing pro-
LESSONS. In the list are a number of
lawyers who are conducting their own
and civil engineers, undertakers,
automobile repair men, dentists and ag-
riculturalists."
