"Many former service men," he said, "have the idea that the money available under the law is something on the order of a state bonus to which they are entitled whether they are in need of it or not. This of course is not true. The money is given only to veterans who are destitute and disabled and in need of aid for themselves or their dependents."
Frequent appearances before the board of the same applicant for aid are not unusual, according to a member of the commission, who said that some of the former service men come in and ask for $5 or $10 for laundry, spending money, tobacco, and other small expenses.
