Michi gan and Wisconsin, has been in structed by Washington, D. C. that the C7th Congress has placed a time limit for the acceptance of vocation al training under the Vocat'onal Rehabilitation Act. The Act, "I'ublic Act No. 18", making appropriations to supply de ficiencies in appropriations for the fiscal year endng June 30, 1921, and prior fiscal years and for other pur poses, approved June 1C, 1921, con tains the following provisions. "That any person entitled, under, thf prov;sions of the Vocational Re habilitation Act asa mended to take vocational traning must make appli cation therefor within 18 months from the date of the approval of this Act." No applications for vocational training under the Vocational Rehab ilitation Act, from persons disabled in service in any way, can be consid ered unless submitted prior to De cember 1C, 1922. This statement will be interpreted to mean any written application from eucSh person ex pressing a desire for vocational training under the provisions of the Rehabilitation Act. If any applica tons from disabled ex-service per sons are received on or before De cember 16, 1922, they will be given consideration on their merits with out reard to the time limitation. In view of the fact that there are a great number of disabled ex-service men in this district who have already been approved for training but have not as vet signified their desire to accept the benefits of such training, the Federal Board is at this time urging these men to seriously con sider the question of vocat'onal training. Any communications ad dressed to the District Office, 14 E. Congress St., Chicago, will receive prompt attention. Besides these men who have al ready been approved for training and have not as yet accepted, there are many thousand in the three states who are eligible for vocational train ing for same. These men are urged to make application for training without further delay at the local of fice in this territory, 217-219 Fourth National Bank Building, Grand Rap ids, Michigan.

This time they are sure that they have the man who is responsible for a lot of the drunk enness among some of the young men in and around Sand Lake and they are hopeful that he will be con victed and get a sentence strong enough to serve as a warning to oth ers engaged in the illicit traffic of selling moonshine. depreciation, etc) $2.r lf.
