Show YOU CAN HELP Many thousands of veterans are handicapped in some way. It may be loss of an arm or a leg; it may be partial or total blindness. Some men came back with nervous afflictions that will remain for life; others oth-ers suffer from wrenched or torn muscles, or recurrent diseases dis-eases like malaria. Most of them are anxious to be self-supporting self-supporting and independent. They don't want sympathy. They merely want a little help to even things up. In many fields they can do as good a job as anyone else. Frequently they do better, because they are more serious and determined deter-mined to succeed. Everybody who stayed at home during the war owes these veterans a great deal. It is everyone's duty to give whatever assistance he can. This may be finding him a job, or advising about the best school to take his training in, or it may be renting him a room in your home. Some may know where he can buy a business that is suited to his capacity, or where to obtain a loan on favorable terms. Those who can't do anything directly to help these men who deserve so much, at least can keep the matter before their friends and neighbors. Sometimes a few words at the right time will do wonders. They may secure the chance some down-hearted veteran is praying for, when he has almost al-most lost hope. |
