RECORD SET?
Elyites in Army Together
Three Years Jan. %.

On Jan. 20 of next year four Ely
ties will have served together con-
tinuiously in the army for three years
and they apparently have established
an unequaled record.
They are Sgt. Frank A. Marn, Pfc.
Frank Lunka, Pfc. Albert Veranth,
and Pvt. Matt Skube, all members Of
the first medical group, Camp White,
Ore.
1--WE were inducted at Fort Smelling
ON Jan. 22, 1941," Sergeant Marn
states. "No one can top our record,
because we were in the second group
to volunteer (under the selective
service system)."
Now, nearly two months after Sgts.
Andrew o. Kalari and Robert Slogan,
with a year and five months of con-
tinuous service, first asked about
service records, it appears to have
been established. The two are at
an undisclosed South Pacific base.
