to the final qualifications for appoint
ments as commissioned officers.
Mr.. Smith called attention to- the
great scarcity of officers for the big
army soon to be drafted and express
ed the belief that any man who start
ed soon to acquire the knowledge of
military matters necessary to hold the
job, would have little difficulty in Sc
curing q commission. Anyway, any
man who is able to show that he has
made a good start along that line will
be first to be considered for the Off
GERS training schools.
"Inasmuch as one has got to serve
anyway, he might as we'll get busy
and post up, then draw down a COM
mission" thinks Mr.. Smith. He
would like to get in touch with all
who want to go into the class. He
believes it can be arranged to get
army officers here at intervals to give
instruction to such a class.
