Last week the federal board for voational education started a cleanup campaign in South Carolina with a view of settling every application for vocational training which has not been definitely acted upon. Tip state has been divided into four zJhes. with a squad of federal board agents assigned to each zone. The purpose of this intensive campaign in South Carolina is to locate and interview personally every disabled man in the state, whose application for vocational training is pending. Many applications for vocational training cannoi be acted upon on account of incomplete or unsatisfactory medical examinations. In order to secure complete and accurate medical reports, a physician is with each squad of federal board agents for the purpose of giving a physical examination, to every disabled man whose medical records are incomplete or unsatisfactory. South Carolina has at present 155 disabled men who are taking courses in vocational training from the federal board. There are 72 disabled men in South Carolina who have been approved for vocational training, among these are several from Williamsburg county: Isaac Holmes, Seley W. Cooper, Lawrence Swails, Albert L.
