THEY WANT A CHANCE, NOT CHARITY; HELP UNCLE SAM GIVE THEM A START ” * r '. r t ~ V' _ , ** '' / 4... g. ' * , Two crippled soldiers being taught telegraphy in one of the reconstruction hospitals maintained by the government. "We don’t want charity; give us a chance!" From every reconstruction hospital la the country comes this insistent plea from thousands of wounded sol diers. Although shattered in body, the ■pirit that sustained them at Chateau Thierry, Argonue and Met* remains unJjjoken. _ j . ■- . V They do not want something to? nothing; they are willing to work for all they get. The Government has Inaugurated re construction institutions at various points throughout the country where the blind, the armless and legless are taught useful trades and professions W’hile the soldier and sailor is un dergoing vocational training, he is sup ported by the Government. Should he have dependents, they also receive aid. Five possible steps follow a wound ed soldier’s decision to take the vo cational training course. They are: decision by the disabled man as to his course of training; the training it self, which is to tit him for a definite occupation; trial employment in that occupation; placement after trial in a definite job, and follow-up work to safeguard his interests. Within the next few months It is axpected that several thousand dis abled soldiers will have sufficiently recovered from their wounds to take the Government’s vocational training course. Industrial schools and colleges throughout the country are being util ized so that most of the men are being trained close to their homes. Thirty-one per cent of the total now la training are taking commercial VICTORY. (Last Week’s Locals.) Rev.J.R.

It would probably ho hard, re lates the London Chronicle, to beat Shalllgonaked street, which, according to the late Sir Laurence Goinme’s evi dence before the local records com mittee, appears as the name of a street In Wupping in a sewers rate book for 1748.

The Government recognizes this, and the fulfillment is going forward fully and generously. "IT IS NOT A CHARITY! "It Is merely the paymentLof a draft of honor which the United/ States of America accepted when it selected these men, and took them in their health and strength to fight the bat tles of the nation.
