adelphia office of District No. 3, the Federal Board of Vocational Training was in Monongahela yester. day, looking up the cases of ex-ser vice men who were disabled in ser vice and who have been granted training by the government. Mr. Teffeau is now located at 70 Main street, Washington, and all soldiers entitled are instructed to report to the county seat.

Trans portation is furnished of the 65 men entitled to this training in Washing- ton county. Nearly all cases have been disposed of except some few in Monongahela and Donora. Al men who have been disabled in ser vice or have been receiving compen sation from the government should get in touch with the Red Cross in Washington, Pa. No expense will be spared by the government in placing veterans in vocational training, and Mr. Teffeau was sent here by the district office to clean up all cases in Washington county.

He will give every man the county everything he is entitled to from the government. The men, however, must do their share by coming forward and making applica tion. Commanders of all American Legion posts in the county are ad vised to get in communication with Mr. Teffeau at once in regard to cases in their respective posts Transportation will be supplied where the men have to pay more than one fare. The government decided long ago as a matter of economy that it would be best to place the disabled men in vocational training at once, so that the conditions that followed the Civil war would not be repeated At that time no effort was made to educate the disabled men in the various lines that they might fill, and as a re suit thousands of them were reduced to want and were public charges in one way and another.
