Thirty men ar- rived in one group and since then they have been coming back two and three at a time. We have been able to date to give each veteran clothing, but more is urs- ently needed for the future. Out of town sympaihisers could as- Sist in this respect by establish- ing clothing depots. = = = EH ARE now able to defin- itely state the condition of those men who have returned. Twelve have occupational limi- tations and receive a weekly al- lowance of $6. Some are awaiting operations and others are being treated. Two men, William Tough and Marc Haldane, will have to be provided with artificial limbs. Dr. Curry through his donation of $50 worth of dental work has helped tremendously. We would also like to express thanks to Members and officers of the Trades and Labor Council for their support of the rehabili- tation fund and the Council’s do- mation of $25. = = = HE veterans are now busy establishing their own or- ganization and have taken an of- fice for that purpose. A speakers’ committee has been set up and any organization desiring speak-— ers should communicate with them through the Friends. Receipts for February were exceptionally good.
