the best in the regiment, his squad the best
in the company, and that he himself is the

you thought" said the General, in voice
that was pleasant but invincible. that morale
was entertainment and athletics and club

makes a soldier willing and glad to get along
without his comforts and pleasures, when he
has to. Making his life as pleasant as possible
helps build his morale. But so does good hard
training"
This is the man whom General George G.
Marshall, Chief of Staff, has picked to have
charge of what he calls the most important,
the vital factor of any army anywhere AS
Chief of the Morale Branch, General Ulio
heads an arm of the service as autonomous
as the infantry or the artillery Never before
in American military history has such an arm
existed separately.
He is the big boss of the recreational sys-
tenn that has been installed in all the Army
camps throughout the country. Every post
has its Service Club its guest houses where
family and girl friends may visit, its theater,
chapel and athletic facilities. Every regiment
has its separate recreation building, every

morale building activities in the communi-
ties adjacent to military and naval reserva-
tions. 1t is a work of tremendous importance,
as General Ulio would be the first to tell you.
But more than that, it fits into broader set
up, the success or failure of which will vitally
affect the very backbone of Americas new
citizen army.
When General Ulio talks about morale,
he doesn't do it as a swivel-chair theorist.
He remembers when he was private of in
fantry.
Fine morale in that outfit" he told me-
I'VE had first sergeant we were all keen
about: Sam Jones. He was a martinez, but

where soldiers on leave may swim and play
golf or tennis under minimum of military
regulation. And the Morale Branch has called
back into service many reserve officers quail
fled to supervise such activities as dfamatiCs
and athletics.
But the General never forgets that all this
is just means to an end. and he warns his
subordinates against overemphasizing it.
"A soldier. he told me- likes good bit of
leaving alone in his leisure time. He doesn't
want every minute planned for him."
You could hardly miss picking the General
as a soldier, even in multi A stocky, broad
shouldered man with a strong. jutting face
and thick mop of iron-gray hair, he has the
firm step and erect carriage. the unconscious
and easy-mannered forcefulness of real

tor Paul V. McNutt, will build and maintain
recreational facilities to be manned and super
vised by the service organizations, to supple
ment whatever the local communities them
selves may be able to do.
When General Ulio goes out in the field -
and he spends more time there than at his
desk - he inspects the recreatonal projects
with an appreciative eye, but it is morale,
in its broad sense, that he is looking for And
his associates insist he can tell more about
morale by casually asking a soldier where he
is from and how he is getting along than any
court of inquiry could learn.
To-day we've got in the Army the most
magnificent youngsters in the world" says
the General. We're going to give them the
best of everything. But they aren't in the
Army for fun. They're serious. They want to
be soldier men,"
And that, from the General, is the ultimate
in praise.

FIRST, Musculo- skeletal system
This includes severe flat feet, broken
bones, deformities, and arthritis a.
well as height and weight standards
No registrant can be accepted who
weighs less than los pounds OF
whose height is less than 90 inches
or more than rs inches. OF course,
discretion is used in accepting those
registrants with slight variation IN
ratio of height and weight.
SECOND, Genito-urinary organs
and venereal diseases. The kidneys
bladder and genital organs must be
free of serious disease and the urine,
on examination, f--c Nf H!5ul@ 3 ara

they will not constitute basis for
permanent rejection.
THIRD, Cardio-vascular system
This includes heart disease and con-
dltlonS affecting the blood vessels
of the body, including high bloc
pressure. 1t is a well known fact
that heart disease is one of the chief
causes of death in the nation.
FOURTH, Dental defects. Many
registrants have been rejected for
service because of diseased gums and
insufficient sound teeth. Six bit
ing and six chewing teeth, three
pairs of each that are opposite to
each other when chewing, are re-
quired. A small amount of work by a
competent dentist will render many
men ready for service now.
