TWO REGIMENTS ARRIVE AT FORT
BARRANCAS FOR TRAINING PERIOD
fsneciaI no The citizen

u
PENSACOLA, Fla, May IL
With nearly one thousand men
and boys expected to arrive in
Pensacola between now and Sep
TENDER, training began at Fort
Barraneas today, with two regi-
ments arriving for anti-aircraft
gunnery, the 504th and 545th regi-
ments Of the Officers Reserve
Corps, comprising forty officers
and a number Of enlisted men,
having reached this city this
morning, shortly thereafter re-
porting at Barrlncas, where today
they are being quartered, with ac-
tive training to begin at once.
These officers and men repre-
sent eight of the southeastern
states. They will be in training
at Fort Barrancas and Fort Pick
ems for two weeks, and viii be inn
mediately succeeded by members
of the Organized Reserve Corps,
who viii train in heavy gunnery.
The Reserve Officers Training
Corps will arrive in Pensacola
June II, with about $50 officers
who will train here for six weeks.
On July Q the boys who will
train here in the Citizens Military
Training Camps will arrive at Fort
Barrancas, $50 boys having been
allotted to Fort Barrancas for this
training, which will continue un-
til September.
Interesting in connection with
the military training Of the C. M.
T. c. at Fort BarraBcas is the fact
that 900 boys sent in application
TO train at Fort Barrancas, 700 of
whom had already been in train
ing here, proving the popularity
of the camp.
So far only $50 have been all
lotted as this seems to be the
number which can be taken care
Of under existing conditions at
Fort Barrancas.
Important Feature
The training camps have been
in operation at Fort .BarrancasI
now for the past four years and
the coming of these officers and
boys for military training has be-
come one Of The most important
features Of life in Pensacola DUR
ing the summer months.
Because of the fact that the
commissary department at Fort
Barrancas has found some diff
Guilty in supplying Che needs of
the hundreds Of men who are taxi
en- care Of at Barrancas and Pick
ems each summer during the train
ing season, movement is now
underway among the farmers of
the county to supply fresh vege-
tables, eggs, fruits and other sup-
plies for camp use.
The government pays the ex-
penses Of the officers and boys
who train at Barrancas during the
SUMMER months, and the commits
sary department spends thousands
Of dollars on supplies.
A special effort win be made
this summer to furnish fresh vege-
tables and other wholesome food
for the camp from the farms of
the county. The entertainment Of
