21 <br /> Report of Veterans' Services <br /> District Board: <br /> Frank Hicks, Mashpee, Chairman <br /> Carl Hiler, Sandwich George L. Cross, Barnstable <br /> H. Raymond Darling, Yarmouth Kirkwood Brown, Dennis <br /> Board of Selectmen, Town of Mashpee <br /> Gentlemen: <br /> This is my Tenth Report as Veterans' Agent and Director <br /> for our District Department of Veterans' Services. <br /> Many new laws and benefits have been passed to assist <br /> the veteran and his dependants in many ways. Most recent- <br /> ly, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts passed a Vietnam <br /> Bonus which says in brief that any veteran serving to the <br /> credit of Massachusetts could receive $300 if he served in <br /> Vietnam, or $200 if he served in any other area; also they <br /> must have been in the service for 180 days or more. <br /> This department not only aids veterans and their de- <br /> pendants in a financial way, but we assist the veteran to en- <br /> able him to receive the many benefits that he can receive <br /> being a former serviceman. This year statistically speaking <br /> were as follows: <br /> Permanent Temporary Total Cases <br /> Barnstable 55 66 121 <br /> Dennis 7 8 15 <br /> Mashpee 9 7 16 <br /> Sandwich 7 3 10 <br /> Yarmouth 21 16 37 <br /> Total 99 100 199 <br /> Telephone incoming calls 2568 <br /> Telephone outgoing calls 1400 <br /> People coming into office 1800 <br /> Bonus applications given out 789 <br /> This Department wishes to thank the Board of Select- <br /> men and their various Town Departments for their splendid <br /> cooperation during the year. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> CHARLES H. CROSS, <br /> Director and Agent <br />
