VIDALIA, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 12 1921
FORMAL OPENING OF
NEW OWE THE 21
DATE POSTPONED ONE WEEK—
MONTGOMERY AND WHEELER
PEOPLE PLANNING FOR A BIG
CELEBRATION THAT DAY.
> _________
In order to allow ample time for the
finishing touches, the Montgomery-
Wheeler bridgl- spanning the Oconee*
river between Mt. Vernon and Glen
wood will not be formally opened to
traffic until Friday, October 21st, and
not on the 14th instant, as originally
planned by the committee represent
ing the two counties at interest.
The conractors are laying the fin
ishing coat over the driveway and
this wjll consume at the outset ten
or fifteen days. This is of the wood
j block; type overlaid w'th asphalt.
This makes a smooth and permanent
surface. The structure as a whole is
of the reinforced concrete type, per
’ manent in form and artistic iiulesign.
Inmagnitude and proportion it is the
largest bridge of its type in the South
and is a credit not only to the coun
j. ties connected by if, but to the State
I' of Georgia.
(This bridge removes forever the
,impossibility of an east and west
‘ highway, beginning at Savannah and
extending to Americus and points to
1 the west. Much of the highway is
now under construction, particularly
1 that leading through Montgomery and
3 Wheeler counties. The Montgomery
county portion of this highway will
} extend from the bridge to the Toombs;
5 county line near Vidalia. Something
1 over six miles of this >s already fin
; ished and work is progressing rapidly
on the eastern end.
1 Thus the opening celebration will
1 mark the completion of the greatest
. public utility in this part of he state,
t and several thousand people are ex
pected to attend the function. —Mont-

CLEAN-UP SQUAD DESIRES TO
GET IN TOUCH WITH ALL THE
EX-SERVICE MEN % IN THIS
TERRITORY.
When the Clean-Up Squad reaches
Vidalia on November 1-4 to get ac- •
lion on the claims of veteran! of the
World War, its biggest problem will
be to get in touch with every ex
service man in this territory who has
a right to governmental compensa
tion.
The Squad is comp’osed of expert*
from the various government bu
reaus, the Red Cross and the Amer
ican Legion. They are familiar in
every detail with the workings of the
<- Risk Insurance Act, and vari
ous features of the different -p
of hospital treatment, medical care
nd rehabilitation work in general.
As soon as they establish personal
touch with the veterans they are pre
pared to put machinery in motion j
at once to get for them what is com
ing to them from the government.
In this work they have every assu
rance of whole hearted co-operation
by the authorities in Wash ngton. j
The plan of Campaign of the Squad i
contemplates the avoidance of any j
lengthy Correspondence, and annoy- 1
ing, time killing red tape by getting J
at first hand all information as to
each individual veteran’s case and the
machinery is well oiled to get re
suits once it # is put in motion.
However, the greatest problem
that confronts the worker's is the es
tablishment of personal contact with
the men they wofild serve. Many of
the veterans, in lots of cases those
most deserving governmental aid, ate
illiterates. *They don’t understand
even the meaning of “compensation,
rehabilitation and vocational train
ing.” Many are located in isolated
districts where *a newspaper is not
often seen.
These men would be tremendously
anxious to get the benefits of the
aid the government is glad to give
if they knew that the Squad is right
at their doors to get it for them.
■ For this reason, th<% members of
the Squad ask that everyone who is
acquainted with an ex-service man
who may be entitled to aid get in
touch with him and inform him as
to when and where the Squad will
be and as to what the Squad is go
ing to do for him. Squad headquar
ters will be glad to receive any in
formation as to any veteran and will
use every energy to get in touch with
him during its stay in Vidalia.
Disabled veterans who report#to
Squad headquarters will be furnished
with transportation back home and
meals and lodging as long as they
have beusines!? with the Clean-Up
Campaign. It is necessary for every
veteran to bring along his discharge.
In addition to Toombs county
cases, the Squad will take up the af
fairs and claims of veterans of Tatt
nall, Treutlen, Montgomery, Emanuel.

in Vidalia.
