Preparation For Emergency Is Demonstrated Here (Continued from page 1) Lieut. Ewald Lemcke were on duty to assist in every incident that arose, proving their preparedness for aid in the event of actual emergencies. A noteworthy feature of the evening was the fact that Anaheim's busy doctors were represented 100 per cent. These and many other phases of the evening came up for general discussion at the conclusion of the drill at 8 o'clock, when nearly 700 persons assembled in Fremont school auditorium for the summary of the evening. Chairman Mann turned the meeting over to Attorney Leo J. Friis, who acts as coordinator with other county Civilian Defense units. He introduced Yount as principal speaker, the latter in turn presenting the men of his party. Events of the evening were discussed in detail, Yount offering constructive criticism where it was needed, and sincere praise for the drill as a whole. Any minor faults in the general set-up were analyzed and suggestions for possible betterment were made.

("Rod") Brastad informed Mrs. Brastad of 1227 East North street, of his immediate departure for Fort Riley, Kans. He was inducted into the Army just a little over a week ago, and had been stationed at Fort MacArthur until he was assigned to the Kansas station. HERO RESCUER La Habra friends of J. A. ("Jimmie") Jones, U. S. Naval aviator, had the pleasant surprise of identifying the former La Habran in pictures appearing in eastern newspapers, of the crew which helped rescue Captain Eddie Rickenbacker in the Pacific. The pictures showed Jimmie standing by the plane. Latest word received from him indicate that he is now stationed in Samoa. Jolly General During the last war a new recruit approached General Pershing with these words: "Hey, buddy, give me a light, will you?" The General handed the rookie a match for his cigarette, while some soldiers looked on aghast. When they told their new buddy the name of the distinguished gentleman he had accosted, the boy turned white and ran after the General. "I'm so sorry, sir," he stuttered. "I didn't recognize you. I've only been here a couple of hours, and I don't know one uniform from another—and" "That's all right, son," General Pershing interrupted with a twinkle in his eyes. "Only take my advice and never try it on a second lieutenant." SWIFT SEWING The shortest period of time in the army is that spent by the yardbird in sewing on his PFC stripes after posting of the order. Discharge Dope For Men 38 and Over Discharge from the Army is not automatic for soldiers 38 years old and over, the Office of War Information has warned. Employers and soldiers themselves must initiate action to obtain honorable discharges, not the Army, the War Manpower Commission or other governmental agencies. The Army regulation specifies: “Certain enlisted men now in the Army who, by reason of age (38 years and over), are unable to satisfactorily perform military service, but who are qualified to assist the national war effort, may be honorably discharged from the Army in accordance with the following provisions: "A. The soldier has voluntarily requested discharge in writing to his immediate commanding officer. B. The soldier is handicapped by advanced age, 38 years and over, to such an extent that his usefulness to the Army is secondary to that of industry. C. The soldier has presented satisfactory evidence that he will be employed in an essential war industry, including agriculture, if he is discharged from the Army. Each application for discharge under the above conditions will be considered on its individual merits, and no soldier will be discharged unless a suitable trained replacement is present and available.” New Secret Weapon Diapers were used in the North African invasion as bribes to win the friendship of the natives according to Frank M. Smith, deputy director of the War Production Board. He said 60,000 suits of three-cornered underwear were included in the equipment of the troops which made the invasion. Takes Both—War Bonds and Taxes Army Specialized Training Program Benefits 150,000 Soldiers Yearly The Army Specialized Training Program in colleges and universities of the country will provide technical instruction for approximately 150,000 young soldiers each year, Brig. Gen. Joe N. Dalton, assistant chief of staff for personnel, Services of Supply, said last week. "These men, who must be under 22 years of age, will spend from 12 to 48 weeks in classrooms, laboratories, and study halls preparing for special duties in such services as the Air Forces, Corps of Engineers, Medical department, Chemical Warfare, Signal corps and the Adjutant General's division," he said. "It will not be possible to utilize all colleges and universities. A joint committee of the army, the navy and the Manpower commission is now selecting schools where required facilities are available." PROFESSORS WILL REMAIN Gen. Dalton stated that a contract would be made by the army with the board, or governing body of the selected college or university whereby the institution would furnish a prescribed course of study under its own accredited professors. "The college will house feed the soldier-students in such manner as to meet army regulations and will provide textbook laboratory supplies and academic equipment. Beyond the army will supervise and cipline its men. "Each unit of the Army Specialized Training Program will under a commandant whose tary authority will be final.

They today possesses greater knowledge about health protection lands than do the local doctors.

BEGINNER'S LUCK Cavalry Recruit: "Sergeant, pick me out a nice gentle horse." Sergeant: "Have you ever ridden a horse before?" Recruit: "No." Sergeant: "Ah, here's just the animal for you. Never been ridden before. You can both start together." THREE'S A CROWD First Lieutenant: "Where've you been?" Second Lieutenant: "Over in the phone booth talking to my girl, but some punk came along and wanted to use the phone and we had to get out." SHORT SUBJECT For tropical areas, the Army has adopted khaki shorts with unusually wide legs to allow maximum freedom of action. They're worn with knee-length OD socks. It was a Tough Joh! It was a Tough Job! We of the Edison Company are grateful for the friendly patience and consideration of our customers whose electrical service was interrupted in the recent storm. It was the most severe combined wind and rainstorm in many years. The men of the line crews had a tough job on their hands repairing breaks caused by flood waters and by trees and branches falling on the wires. With their traditional Edison spirit of "get the work done," these men stayed on the job until everybody's service was restored. We thank you for your co-operative spirit—we feel sure that all of you will be glad to join in this public expression of appreciation to these Edison employees whose devotion to duty in the midst of the storm, under trying, disagreeable and often dangerous conditions, again justified your confidence in Edison service. A COMMUNITY INSTITUTION Training Program Users Yearly Program in colleges and universities instruction for approximately Gen. Joe N. Dalton, assistant Supply, said last week. The college will house and train soldier-students in such a manner as to meet army regulations and will provide textbooks; laboratory supplies and other scientific equipment. Beyond that army will supervise and disme its men. Each unit of the Army Specialized Training Program will be for a commandant whose military authority will be final. He have a small staff of officers enlisted men who will assist in directing the activities of members of his unit when they not engaged with their studies. Will establish a physical continuing schedule which will include the many types of athletic events now so popular on the campus. Military subjects will be taught and the soldier-students be organized into cadet corps." Dalton said that the basic course in the program would include history, geography, English, mathematics, physics and chemistry. He said that each trainee would be required to devote 24 hours each week to classroom work and an equal amount of time to supervised study. NO "SOFT SPOT" "In this program each trainee is a seventh-grade private, drawing $50 a month," he explained. His official status is no different than any other soldier of the same rank. He's not a college boy in uniform; he's a doughboy in a military unit located at a college. Because of his age and because he is the graduate of an accredited high school, he is given opportunity to apply his talents along technical or professional lines so that he may be more valuable to the army. This program is not designed to offer a nice, soft spot for young men who have been inducted into the service." Gen. Dalton said that all men accepted for the Army Specialized Training Program will have completed their basic training at army replacement camps, or be in the process of completing this training. All must pass screening tests which have been devised by army experts in consultation with recognized civilian educators. BUY VICTORY BONDS, AND WAR STAMPS! 3 Singer Elect.
