Rehabilitation of the former servlcsj men In the hospitals of the state of Arkansas Is making rapid progress,' and the auxiliary members of that department de-partment express themselves as well pleased with existing conditions and the constructive plans which are being executed by the hospital management, Red Cross workers, etc., especially at the United States Veterans' hospltnl at Fort Roots, which was recently; visited by Mrs. James H. Brooks, de-, partment president of Arkansas. . Mrs. Brooks was well satisfied with conditions and remarked upon the notlceuble Improvement In a number of the patients. However, she was much concerned over the fuct that at least 30 per cent of the ex-service men patients were not receiving compensation, compensa-tion, and because of this, are denied ninny little things they crave, particularly particu-larly their "smokes." This is a field for work for the members mem-bers of the auxiliary, both in the department de-partment of Arkansas and other states. , |
