MESSAGE FROM
NATIONAL FIELD
REPRESENTATIVE

Comrades of The American Legion:
1 am happy on this occasion OF
my annual visit to the Territory
of Alaska in the interest of vet
Grams to be afforded the oppof-
tunity of addressing you on the
subject of rehabilitation. Being Ma
tional Field Representative OF the
American Legion, the subject is
close to my heart, fifty per cent
of my work being in that field.
Rehabilitation is an all-embrac-
ing word and covers a large field
of activity 1t deals with the sick,
the injured the crippled, the blind;
the mentally handicapped and the
well individual who is maladJusted
Medical rehabilitation deals with
the doctor and hospital efforts to
correct the disabilities Of the body
to enable the individual to resume
his or her normal efforts to make
a liviliehood.
Occupational rehabilitation OF
therapy, as it is more often referred
to. are the efforts to instruct the
patient in one of a variety OF arts
and crafts which will afford al
least a means of partial support.
Physical rehabilitation or ther-
any and also correctional medicine,
are the assists to the medical along
certain prescribed lines by experts
in that field.
Shock therapy is form of re-
Mobilization efforts now greatly In
use in connection with the men
tally ill. One form is the electric
shock and another is the Insulin
shock treatment, this latter re-
curing more prolonged supervision.
Still another in less general use is
lobotomy surgery which is the sew
ering of certain nerve in the
head. All of these treatments are
done in the American Lake, Wn.
and Roseburg, oregon Neuropsy-
chiatric hospitals and with varying
success. No such treatments are
given without the consent of the
relatives or guardian.
Educational rehabilitation is that
which deals with the patient who
Geeks or feels the need Of additional
knowledge. Various courses may
be taken to complete high school
education leading to diploma OF
for college preparatory work. This
is being done in many Veterans
hospitals and with excellent re-
suits.
Lately. though not the least in
need is the compensation or pen
sion field embracing certain pay
ments for disabilities held to be
due to war service. There is also
the pension Of $50 or $72 monthly
for non-service disability according
to well founded determination. The
larger amount is for those aged IS
or over.
Mental Hygiene is another form
of rehabilitation where efforts are
made to aid the veteran in prob
lens of readjustment, whether they
be economical, family or social.
This latter treatment Is given only
to the veteran with service dis

The BELL TOLLS
BY LEONARD H. BELL

A revolution is taking place in
the South. There are no armed
outbreaks, There are no scattered
riots. There is no occasion for ma
tional alarm. For this is a social
revolution.
And this revolution will be sue
cessful for it's motivating power
is being promulgated by the peo-
pie, both white and black, who live
there. Their names are legion, and
their contributions and acts are
bold and fortnight. And alarm at
this memorable movement that is
slowly, but surely changing the
customs and structure of the old
South, is to be found only among
handful of absentee landlords,
manufacturers and die-hard white
supremacists. But most of these
are old, both in age and in thought
and their rantings and former
power has become dissipated. For
what can age, emaciated age, do
against the fullness and vibrancy
of youth? For youth, in age and
in thought, is spear-heading this
revolution.
Only-recently mixed conference
of whites and Negroes was held at
Atlanta University, with some 800
educators and students represent
ing more than 100 colleges and
universities in southern and border
states, where separate schools are
maintained by law.
At this conference a resolution
was unanimously adopted calling
for the removal of segregation
laws in education. The conference
also agreed that campus opinion"
among students and teachers in
white schools of higher learning
was largely in favor of unsegre-
gated attendance. And in keeping
with these findings, they urged
that Negro institutions in the
South be made available to white
students, so that segregation in
southern education will be COM
pletely abolished.
Yes, these portent actions and
many others that are happening
weekly throughout the South are
sure signs that a revolution,
social revolution, is taking place
in the South.

honked the horn three times, and
there was certainty in the sound.
There is certainty without malice
in all true teaching and prophecy
but all are not born to teach or to
prophesy. Be certain you are
right before trying to live up to
any belief, and as to whether you
know SO much OF not, know that
no one instructs God in his pray
ing regardless of how articulate
he is or how large is his vocabu-
larry. If the spirit of man prays
inarticulately sometimes, so is
great love many times inarticulate
and yet it is known.
Shakespeare is given credit for
the largest vocabulary of any man,
and yet Bacon is credited with
being part author with him, thus
giving Shakespeare a double por-
ton of intelligence by reputation.
SO it is with the true prophet,
his own credit for the ability to
express himself is much increased
by the power of the Lords inspi-
ration. Thereby he is given credit
for having double portion of in
telligence, and his own intelligence
he considers nothing to be vain
about. There is no end of differ
ences of opinion and there has to
be a fully authorized voice to
clarity Christ's doctrine and such
a situation. Be venomous in your
advice and dust will be your meat,
and your will to breed hatred and
envy by inspiring unfair treat
ment will be nullified, for | know
that my Redeemer liveth. How
about you?
