By his ef forts, seven veterans with service connected disabilities are now re ceiving vocational rehabilitation. If a veteran has s service con nected disability, resnltlng in an occupatiutal handicap, he can be given training throngh the Vet erans Administration in a college, trade school, or on-the-job with a business firm. By taking advantage of this training—which Is offered free plus subsistence allowutce — a veteran will not only have the opportunity to fit Into a good per manent Job regardless of his han dicap but will probably be able to secure a higher wage rate than a person who has had no train ing. Mr. Perry will ibe glad to ex plain this training offered to vet erans at any time, and will help fill out the forms necessary to make application. V. RETURNS TO BRA|GM Staff Sergeant Jamm W.

D. Halfaera, ehair- man. 'The total In B bond porehaMS throngh May 28 was listod by ^ Federal Rasarve syatem at |65,- 812.50, which is s^ a very l(dlg way fram the country's goal of $220,000. Following the first of tha month the E bond total may ■how substantial inoraasc, bnt at tention is called to tha fact that only 30 days of the campslgn ra- main and only onowixth of the quota has been sold. It is evident from the 'report that the people of the connty to date have failed to give their nsn- al response to the bond appeal, when as a matter of fact the need for backing the final phase of the war financially Is greater than ever before. Supplying the men who are fighting the Japs means that they can complete the Job more quickly and With fewer cas ualties. Many of the rural district chair men have not made a r^rt of the campaign to date and they are urgud to make a preliminary report of sales In their respeefive communities as early as possible. Preliminary reports today indi cated that the overall quota will be reached easily. The larger de nomination bonds are being pur chased today and 'will apply on the qnota of $896,000. Bnt In the purchase of E bonds It Is more evident that much work must be done In bond sell ing to put the county over the top and keep the country's rec ord in War Loan campaigns per fect. Wilkes has yet to tail to meet any war loan quota, U( concerted effort, togotbw wUh; 0 «to fBMMWDF bli| and who are willing to do their part for complete victory, can yet put Wilkes over the top. ■V PPO.Wj Pfe.
