completing their training for new
vocations with the L. ). Veterans
Bureau monthly, General Frank IT.
Hines, director of the Bureau, today |
made an appeal TO employers Of
trained men in every state, county, |
city, and hamlet of the country to
give these men an opportunity to
again become d part of the produc-
tive fabric of the nation.
These men and women served |
their country at a time Of great
need and they now ask only fair
chance to find employment along
ed their training" said Director
Hines.
During the month of July, 7l2 ex-
service men from the schools OF the
Veterans Bureau will seek employ
ment. The six months from July
to December, inclusive, will find
1882 veterans rehabilitated
General Hines expressed his APP
preciation of the assistance the
Bureau has already received in find
ing places for the rehabilitated men.
Only 6S9 out of 81 900 men and wo-
men trained by the Bureau in its
fourteen districts were unemployed
on June l, 1924.
$1,000 In Training
There were left in training on
July l. 1924, $4,000 disabled veter-
ans. These men and women, as
result Of wounds received in battle
and of sickness and injuries received
in military service during the recent
war, were made incapable of carry
ing on in their particular lines of
occupation that they pursued before
entering service. The U. S. Govern
ment is endeavoring to educate and
train them so they will be able to
make their living in new lines OF
occupation wherein their physical
and mental abilities will be equal
to the demands made upon them
"The Veterans Bureau can 60 only
so far in the rehabilitation of these
former service men," General Hines
declared at can take them and
train them up to the point of en-
ployability and then it must call
of the country to carry on from that
point"
The great majority of those being
rehabilitated are normal in appear
ance, normal in ability and normal
in their desire to be selfsustaining
and to make success Of their lives
for the sake of themselves, their
dependents and their fellow men in
general.
Men with one arm are trained fol
work in which only one arm i:
brought into use. Men and womer
who have lost their sight or hear
ing are trained for work in which
these senses are not absolutely ne
cessary.
Less than so percent of the train
ees have an apparent disability ant
more than 80 percent of them arr
able men. Their disabilities cOnsis
of handicaps only insofar as thei
pre-war occupations are concerned

tho professions. In the commercial
field, 1000 were in training. Il
