The igportance of reaching tHe 50,000 2 dischar&d disabled soldiers, sailors and marines with information that they may call on Unele Sam through the local , Red Cross Chavter and the Public Health Service for furcther treatment free of any cost and vith compensarion paid also, if the need is (he outgrowth of war service, isstrongly emphasized. The Public Health Seryice is depending upon Red Cross Hdome Service Sections to serve as com- munity agencies in searching out these disubled service men.
