To Change Plan of
Inducing Draftees
Travelling Induction Teams Will
Examine Men in Home Towns

Officials at Third Corps Area
Headquarters announced that they
planned a revision in the procedure
of Inducing selectees from Maryland
and Virginia, to conform with the
practice in Pennsylvania.
The plan, headquarters said, in
wolves the use of travelling induction
teams to replace the induction sta
tions which now examine men whose
numbers have been called by their
local draft boards.
Third Corps officials said that the
plan had first been tried in Pennsyl-
vania in May, and that it had suisse
quently been extended to other parts
of the country, including portions of
the Second and Fifth Corps Areas.
Under the proposed system, travel
ing induction teams - consisting of
physicians and dentists would be
established to tour Maryland and
Virginia, making it unnecessary for
prospective selectees to report to
Baltimore in Maryland or to Roanoke
or Richmond in Virginia.
The induction teams will visit a
number of cities in each state, short
ening the distances which selectees
must travel.
Corps area officials said the pro-
cedure would bring a great reduction
in the number of men who gave up
their jobs, only to be rejected at the
induction centers.
Selectees, after being examined by
the medical boards, will report di-
rectly to the reception center at the
military post to which they have been
assigned

FOURTEEN PLANE
SPOTTER UNITS
ORGANIZED HERE
Aircraft Warming Observation
Posts Established in County
As Part of National Plan

Fourteen aircraft warning observa-
ton posts have now been established
in Garrett county, as part of ma
tion-wide plan to be prepared for any
eventuality in case of war. This is
included in the nearly two-thirds of
Maryland's 322 airplane spotting sta
tions that have been organized by
American Legion post commanders
and members of their organizations.
The observation posts include a
personnel of telephone subscriber,
a chief observer, LIST assistant and
End assistant chief observers and
other assistants. The telephone sub
scriber may also be the chief observ-
er, The districts may also be further
organized.
Eliza E. Bray, post commander of
Proctor Kildow Post, No. II, Ameri-
can Legion, of Oakland, said his or
ganinzation had established eight sta
tions throughout the county Two
have also been established by the
Frostburg Legion post, and four have
been organized by the Wilson, idler
post at Kitzmiller.
The following posts have been or
ganized by the Oakland group: Cove,
F. R. Shaffer, organizer; Pleasant
Valley, James Twigg, organizer; Hut
ton, James Williams, organizer; Bit
finger, A. G. Hesen, organizer;
Meadow Mountain CCC, Eliza E.
Bray, organizer; Swallow Falls,
Charles L. Briner, as president of the
Junior Chamber of Commerce, organ
izer; Chestnut Avenue Church, near
Fearer, Eliza Bray, organizer, and
Deer Park, Eliza Bray, organizer.
The Frostburg Legion has stated it
was having difficulty in establishing
posts in the Meadow Mountain and
Avilton sections of the county be-
cause of the lack of adequate tele-
phone service. At Avilton the observ-
ers planned to use a telephone of the
Mutual company which officials at
Mitchell Field, Long Island, N. Y,
have declared was not satisfactory
for use in aircraft warning service.
The same difficulty was experienced
at Avilton. Mr.. Bray said that in two
instances his organized groups would
be compelled to use a branch tele-
phone line, but that there was always
connection with the C. and P. phone
system.
These listening posts will get their
first test between October 9 and 16,
according to Isaac S. George, exec
utive secretary of the State Council
of Defense. Brig. Gen. John C. Nc
Donnell, Mitchell Field, has an
nounced that at least eight squadrons
of bombing planes will be used to test
the system along the mid-Atlantic
seaboard during those dates. The test
will include parts of Massachusetts,
Rhode Island Connecticut, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Della
ware, District of Columbia, Virginia
and a small portion of North Caro-
lima.
The Maryland aircraft warning
system, when completed, will involve
approximately 1920 civilians. Each
of the spotting stations will have a
personnel of twelve men and the
central filter unit to which reports
will be telephoned will be manned by
about 300 persons.
