Recently a survey Of the Catoctin
recreational area in Frederick
County, Md, was made for the War
Department for the purpose, so we
understand, Of establishing an off,
GERS training school.
To accomplish this the area
must first be acquired from the
Forest Service, which has built this
wonderful recreation grounds only
after considerable effort. In due
time it would be turned over to the
State of Maryland. to continue for
ever as the summer Fairgrounds for
underprivileged and crippled chill
dren and a trouting rendezvous for
thousands of anglers.
An all-out war effort is the need
of the day. But is it necessary that
this small section upon which hun
dredS of men have spent years of
work and the Government so much
effort must be selected instead of
other thousands of acres of avail
able land?
Should the Catoctin area be made
into a camp. one of the proudest
accomplishments of the State of
Maryland and the Forest Service
would be set back 20 years, and
possibly another such area never
would be developed in this section

No liquor, of course, is allowed on
ship except for snake bite-and the
rule Is you can't get a medicinal

No Vacation Aboard Ship.
There is no vacation for troops
aboard transports bound for am
phibious actions. Each vessel is a
university of war; each hold is a
classroom. Small groups gather in
daily conferences on the particular
phase of the military problem each
will attack. The thoroughness with
which each does his bit determines
the success or failure OF the entire
giant operation.
Sailors and soldiers stare at each

elbow room. They're used to the
wide spaces of their own land.
But space is luxury when ship
