With Joseph F. O'Kane, the district vocational advisor from Hartford they visited the town hall where they are to be at work for the last three days of this week and got acquainted With the faeili ties provided for them theme. 'This morning at 9 o'clock the members of the “squadron” will be at the town hall prepared to meet ali the ex-serviee men who apply to have their yocational train- ing cases adjusted. Their hours for work will be from 9 a. m. to 5 p.'m. for the three remaining days of this week. Since the first of July the "squadron” has been at work in this state and has handled over 1,000 cases in that time. The men arriving Wednesday might were Major Joel Grosaer, New York, dis- trict medical advisor; Capt. Themas Kirby, Washington, eligibility officer; J. K. Alverson, C. D. Crane, John Derham, G. W. Webster, all of New York, voca- tional advisors; E. K. Funkhauser and S. A. Peters, New York, traiging depart- ment; Ray S. Bugg, New York, plaee- ment department; J. Oswald Davis, Washington, eligibility ~ assistant, and Mrs. M. A. Kesgell, New Yerk in echarge of clerical force. Others of the “squad- ron” will arrive today. The vecational trainig which the gov- ernment is anxious to give to soldiers, sailors or marines who may have suf- fered disability through their war ser- vices, is in no sense to be considersd an act of charity, it was explained by one of the party Wednesday night. It is ra- ther the government's payment of a debt of gratitude to the men who suffered be- cause of their war service, and is net entirely unselfish for its uitimate effect will be to make more eapable and val- uable citizens of men who might other- wise always labor under a handieap in their future years of oecupation. As for instance, if a carpenter with two fingers shot off, making it impossible for him ever to be again a good carpenter, can be given a little more training that will fit him to be a supervising foreman in his trade, the man, the community, the state and the nation have all been bene- fitted. The aim of the “Sying squad- ron” will be to study the man's aptitude and previous gualifications, matching them with hi=.present condition se that the best eombination may be reached to give him the right kind of aid. Three fundamentals lie at the base of all elaims for vocational fraining. Has the man an honorable discharge? Is theredisability? Was it traceable to war service? - When these are found the man is eligi- ble to federal vocational training.

Mavyor Lerou said: Gentlersen of Couneil : In connection with the recent increase in salaries of the heads of the water de. partment, would say that I appeared by fore a special meeting of that board held last evening and ebtained officially the increases made. I regret to say that I had no knowiedge that this department inetnded to inerease these salaries.
