according to w. r.. Tucker, clerk Of
the local draft board, who advises
young men to enlist as soon as pos
sible and get into the service for
which they are best fitted before the
branches are closed.
4 We are very apt to get a message
from the war department any day
now countermanding all open posi-
tions in the branches for which we
are now recruiting because of the
camps being filed" explained the
makes up his mind the branch in
which he wants to enlist and the
quicker that he can get to camp, the
better it will be for him."

of the signal corps, the medical re-
serve corps, the spruce production
corps, engineers corps, general in
fantry at Camp Dodge and the gen.
eral infantry at Camp Greene, The
registrants in the aviation section Of
the signal corps will be sent to Fort

the engineers leave for the barracks

These camps offer privileges to
the enlisted registrant, give him an
opportunity to pick up the line Of
