STANDARDS HIGHER
IN PRESENT DRAFT
The false impression has gone
abroad that in taking men in the
selective service draft the standards
required for the regular army and
navy would be considerably lowered.
This is entirely wrong.
About the only concessions made
are that men may be bit shorter.
and also lighter in weight than the
armed services usually require. 9th
erwise the standards will be much
higher than they were in the draft
during the last World war.
Then the country, at war, was In
d big hurry to draft men and train
them. Now the nation is at peace,
but is training for preparedness.
With the vast number Of men to
choose from, the army is going to be
increased by real selective service,
not only by the way in which the
numbers are drawn, but by the way
the individual men are finally
chosen. They will not be the run Of
the lot. They will be the pick OF the
barrel, men who can be trained
now, placed in reserve after one year
with the army, and with very fair
exnectancv of being fit. within
the next 10 years the army needs
them for real active service in real
war

triot in Official
Proclamation.

has officially designated Friday,
October IL, as Pulaski Day in
honor of the Polish general who

acting by virtue of joint reso-
LUTON of our General Assembly, I
appoint Friday, October II next,

man freedom in the War Of the
Revolution. The Continental Con-
gress recognized his courage and
zeal and made him a brigadier
general and chief of cavalry in
the American Army. He fought
with great valor and gave his life
for his adopted country at the
Siege of Savannah.
General Pulaski is an outstand-
ing example of the many people
who have come to America from
Poland through the years since
this nation was born. These people
from Poland have gladly Joined
with all other Americans in be-
coming loyal, energetic, hard
working Americans themselves
and have helped to build and
strengthen our American COM
monwealth. All Americans re-
joice in the deeds and valor Of
Casimir Pulaski and are happy tt
unite with Americans of Polish
ancestry in honoring the memory
of this great man.
"I request that the National EN-
blem be displayed on that day or
ali public and private building!
and homes in the state, and thai
the day be observed in our schools
and other suitable places with ex.
ercises recalling the sacrifice o.
General Pulaski"
