How System Works

To illustrate how the point sys
tenn works, let us suppose that
a soldier has been in the army SO
months, has served overseas for
ID months, has won the Silver
Star and Purple Heart and parti
cipated in three major campaigns
and is the father of a child I'M
der IL. He would receive 36
points in service credit, 18 points
IN overseas credit, Is points in

would be 81 points.

May 18th through June 30th. Insist
ence on the part of many War FL
nance Chairmen throughout the
country paid tribute to the vital sup
port that pupils, teachers and school
administrators have given previous

A recent survey reveals that more
than 20 million people heard about
the Sixth War Loan from school
children. Over eleven million were
directly asked to buy bonds by these
boys and girls, a little less than
third Of whom were solicited in no
other way.
The participation of school chill
dren ranges from rallies at their
schools to the taking over of actual
house-to-house canvassing. In Penns
Grove, a small New Jersey town.
during the last Drive, E Bond sales
were tagging behind. In desperation,
the War Finance Committee turned
to the students Of the towns two
high schools and one grammar
school. IF the adults won't do it, it's
up to you,' the County Chairman
told them. Accepting the challenge,
within week boys and girls had
sold $4,000 worth of bonds, and be-
fore the close of the Drive, Penns
Groves 6,485 citizens had topped
their E Bond quota by 1000. Lets

Demobilzation: Who Will be DISCHARGED

Soldiers who have been over
seas longest in combat oftenest
and those with dependent child
rem will be eligible for discharge
under the ArImy's partial demo-
bilization plan.
The soldiers themselves, polled
by the. War Department in the
United States a n d overseas,
wanted it that way. The Army
has tried to carry out their wish
es.
Now these same troops exam
lining the rehabilitation plan re-
leased at barracks and mess halls
throughout the world found
their chances for obtaining an
Army discharge instead of a pre-
Pacific furlough to depend on
point system which values their
service record as follows:
One point for each month of
Army service since Sept. Is, 1910
Or Il points a year.
One point for each month serv
ed overseas since the same date.
Five points apiece for each bat
tie Or campaign participated in,
for each Purple Heart won, and
for each other recognized Army
Or navy decoration.
Here the War Department
makes clear that five points
apiece will be given for the first
and each additional award of the
following, for services perform
ed since Sept. Is 1910: Distin-
guished Service Cross, Legion of
Merit, Silver Star, Distinguished
Flying Cross, Soldiers Medal,
Bronze Star Medal, Air Medal,
Purple Heart and Bronze Service
Star.
IL Points For Each Child
Twelve points will be given for
each child under Is years, up to
limit of three children.
Enlisted men of the Army
ground, air and Service Forces
will be Immediately eligible for
discharge if their total credit
score is IS Or more. But there is
one big exception: If their skills
are seriously needed, they pos
slbly may not be released until
qualified requirements are OBJ
tanned. This may apply specifi-
cally in the Service Forces and

sonnet are being shipped direct
