Red Cross Aids Kossuth Ex Service Claims In February
The Kossuth county Red Cross assisted eleven men in February to record disability claims and secure benefits, with affidavits from friends physicians and comrades. Twelve more claims received continued help from the secretary while three families without veterans sought assistance. The effort reflects strong local organization cooperation and the American Legion spirit. The 67th Congress created the U S Veterans Bureau with about 600 million dollars annual appropriations, and the New Sweet bill passed the House to extend treatment compensation and vocational training for disabled veterans.
