"Now we have the disabled vetâ€" erans of World War H, more than one million of them, who need the same type of aid. With the help of the women of, World War II families who are now coming into our organizations, we are expandâ€" ing our rehabilitation program to include them all. _ The activity has strong appeal to these women and because of their closeness to the veterans of this war, they can give to the work the understandâ€" ing and sympathy so necessary to its suceess."
