Kennebec County
Has Full Quota for
Military Training


kennebec county, State of Maine.
has filled its quota and will furnish
its share of boys for the Citizens
Training Camps for this
year. The quota for the county was
set at 81 and the official report for
July / shows that 80 applications had
been received and 27 finally accepted.
Since that time the number has been
increased, and according to the in
formation received by Fred o. Nc
Alary of Waterville, the county
chairman, 80 applications have been
received, and several others are
through to have been forwarded d.
rect to the State headquarters.
OF the number, Augusta furnishes
one candidate. Gardiner three, Hal.
lowell one, Winthrop two, Clinton
five, Oakland three. North vassal-
boro four. and Waterville and
Winslow IS.
Seven Of the boys are assigned 10
the red or white courses, having
completed the basic course in pre-
vlous years. The others will be as
signed to the basic course, most of
them going to Fort Mckinley. Port
land. The camp at Fort Mckinley
will open Aug. 2.
While Kennebec county is one of
the five in Maine that has filled it's
quota, it does not mean that other
boys IN this locality may not enroll.
There is still room for about 100 boys
IN the State quota and the county
chairman and local chairman will en-
roll any young man between the
ages Of II and "a years who may
wish to pass the month of August
In charge Of Uncle Sam.
The county officers re"o~+ that the
enrollments came in rather slowly
this year. They do, however, COM
ment upon the fact that the person.
mel of the list is of the highest char
acter. Another pleasing and encour-
aging feature is the interest Of the
parents. In many cases the boys
enrolled through the influence of the
father or mother, and the movement
more than ever before seems to have
the backing of the home.
