GERS in this corps area, of which
Washington forms an important part
are interested in this important
branch of training. 1t Is known that
there are a goodly number Of Wash
ington reservists who would like 70
| enroll in these courses, but who have
stated that, due to business and other
reasons, they are unable to do so.
| They have indicated at the meetings
held at reserve headquarters in the
Graham Building that If 1t Is at all
| possible. they should submit their en-
| rollment in time TO complete at least
one of the subcourseS of the courses

The only requirement of students

| subsequent TO the opening of the
school year. it is pointed out. is at
the rate OF one hour for each week OF

| II is estimated that the population
