rather attractive little place, was
to profit rather than lose by the sale.
The townspeople would keep their
brick or frame houses, the mill
would continue to manufacture cot
ton duck: in fact, additional en-
ployees were to be hired. Aside
from the natives, nearby residents
and the newspaper and cameraIpen.
there were few here today to witness
the auction of Abortion.
What actually happened was this:
James S. Gary g. Son, the original
owners, went into receivership. C. r.
Daniels, Inc, a textile manufactur-
ing firm in New York City, leased
the mill October S. The First Ma
tional Bank of Baltimore, trustee,
was directed to sell the mill and
the auction was arranged.
The s65,0O0 bidder today was
E. A. Trumpbour, treasurer of the
Daniels company. The new owners.
MIR. Trumpbour said, will continue
the business as before, adding a
new spindle here or a different dis
tributor system there in the way
of modernization. The men of AL
berton 60 on handling the mill
machinery. New defense contracts
already have necessitated taking on
more men at the plant.
Wien Charles A. Hobbs, Glen
wood farmer. opened the auction
today by asking: Who'll give me
100000 for it?" Albertons shifted
patiently from one leg to the other
and looked around curiously.
At length Hobbs knocked down"
the town to Mr.. Trumpbour and
they began to drift homeward. They
knew the buyer. Everything was
going to turn out all right. Their
town had been sold but it didn't
matter. Being talked about and
worried over for couple of days
had been fun. 1t was time to go
back to running the cotton duck
mill and living in the brick and
frame houses along the Patapsco.

lecture on service life insurance and
the means of sending part Of their
pay home each month. Private in
| terviews will follow to determine
each mans former employment, edu-
cation, social and family background
and the like, thereby providing in
formation on which to base the
classif1cations.
For instance, a District selectee
who has been truck driver for
coal company for q number of years
and has had on the side some ma
chine shop experience will be CLASH
fed as available, first, for driving
duty and. second, as a mechanic.
He will be assigned ultimately to
an occupation in the Army for
which he is best suited. Informa-
ton obtained in these interviews
will be sent to the code section
where it will become part of the
selectees permanent record.
No Arms Issue at Centers.
Following completion of the CLASH
fication, the selectees will be given
an opportunity to sign up for life
| insurance.
They then will get their uniforms
and other service equipment. Off,

day that no arms or other field
equipment will be issued to the
trainees at the Fort Meade recep-
ton center. Such equipment will
be given out when the selectees
reach their permanent quarters fol-
lowing their stay at Fort Meade.
Many men may remain at Fort
Meade only couple of days, others
as long as two or three weeks. As
acquisitions from various other Army
posts in the corps area come in,
selectees will be sent out to fill
them acquisitions for several nun
dred men already have come in at
the reception center.
Many such calls for recruits have
come from Fort Belvoir, Fort Myer
and Arlington Cantonment. Efforts
will be made to send as many Dis

posts, but the major factor in de-
termining which men will 60 where
will be the classification records.
Reception to Be Simple.
1t. Col. Edward j. Rehmann, COM
manding officer of the reception
center, has stated that the receiving
process will be kept as simple as
possible to avoid any unnecessary
confusion for the newcomers. After
.theS checking in and classification
tasks have been completed, the Sc
lectees will begin courses in Eoutlne
military instruction, which will con-
tinue until they leave the post for
regular duty elsewhere.
Although present plans call for
completion of first call receptions
by Friday night, post oficials said
yesterday 1t is probable that few
selectees will not reach the station
before Saturday.
The Districts flrst group Of 81
men will meet at local selective
service headquarters in the National
