Frank Z. Herring. editor Of the
Eagle Magazine, will be the speaker
Of the evening. A musical program
is being arranged.
Perhaps few men in this part Of
the country have studied the pres
ent world crisis as has Mr.. Herring,
and a. few have discussed il in pub
Tic as often as has the Eagle editor.
His early address on the economic
phase OF the world struggle has
been repeated time and time again
by request Of different organiza-
tiOns. and always has he found a
broader and more interesting scope
for his remarks.
Mr.. Herring will not cOnfine his
discourse 20 the economic aspect OF
the struggle but will deal principal
~ with military service. what IL
means 10 the young man and what
will be expected OF him following
the examination and acceptance by
local exemption boards. His ad- ,
dress is of particular interest i'm
asmuch as the new branches OF fed
cral service are SO many and varied. /
