NEWARK BOYS OFF
FOR PLATTSBURC
Chance for Real American
Vacation

oSollcll
Are there any young men in this
section going to the Citizens Military
Training Camp at Plattsburg? Sure.
Already, Francis R. Dunlevy, Her.
bert w. Henning, Floyd G. Hubert
and Marshall M. Morris,-all of
Newark are registered.
The purposes these camps are de-
signed to serve are: "To bring to-
gether all types both native and for
eign born; to develop closer national
and social unity; to teach the privi-
leges, duties and responsibilities of
American citizenship; to develop
young men physically, mentally and
morally and to teach Americanism in
its true sense"
All expenses are paid by the War
Department Uniforms, transporta-
ton and meals. 1t is an opportunity
for a real American vacation, worth
while, out in the open and at the
same time becoming better fit to serve
the country in peace or war.
Colonel Spur, Commanding Officer
of Fort du Pont, visited Newark last
week in the interest of this commun-
ity. Blanks are left at the office of
the Newark Post, and all detailed in
formation. If sufficient number reg
lister, truck transportation will be
arranged to Fort du Pont for physical
examination.
The camp starts August 7th. All
registrations should be sent in by
July 18th. Age, 16 TO 35, with char
acter reference are the only essen
tials. Then if physical examination is
success, month at Plattsburg is
yours. A wonderful opportunity.
Boys look it up. It's an American
boys affair inspired by America, for
America.
