The Corner Store Values That Will Please You . . _ i ATTENTION EX-SERVICE MEN I have received some definite in formation in regard to the federal board for Vocational Education for disabled soldiers, sailors and ma rines. This federal board is organ ized for the benefit of disabled ex service men' and the board is trying to get in touch with all the disable ex-service men who need assistance, it matters not whether you have ever made application for training or whether yo uhave made an appli cation and it has not been acted up on, it would be wise for all who think that they are due additional compen sation and all those who wish to at tend a vocational college at the ex pense of the government to look in to the matter. The vocational board is trying to give everyone the bene fit that accrues from the congress ional act. This training costs you absolutely nothing, the government allowing so much for expenses and it has proven beneficial to thousannds of disabled ex-service men. CLAUDE T.
