Weeds and brush are gangsters in the grass.
They literally steal your cattle and sheep by re-

try are often thjeving plants They're tough and

LONGER ENLISTMENTS
BROADEN OPPORTUNITIES

Opportunities for young men to
follow planned careers" have been
expanded greatly in the Regular
Army and Air Force during the re-
building of the peacetime service
ever the past 18 months, SlSgt.
Clint o. Dollar, Army and Air
Force Recruiting Sgt. declared here
today. The Air Forces, the ground
forces and the Administrative and
technical services all are now in
position to offer career training and
real opportunities for advancement.
Longer enlistments are best for
they give volunteers the time to get
advanced training in the army
technical schools to qualify them as
all around experts in a craft. Short
term men have time only for pri-
mary training, Sgt. Dollar said.
Those joining the service for 8
years and up to 5 years not only get
training in the highest skills, but
can add to their education through
formal classes and correspondence
courses available to all soldiers.
In the army schools the most
competent instructors see that each
soldier learns thoroughly the prin-
ciples and practices of the craft
selected. Since learning by work.
ing on the job long has been an
| army tradition, theoretical instruc.
/ ton is held to a minimum and as &
result the army turns out better
craftsmen and does it in shorter
period.
Set. Dollar pointed out that man!
high school graduates often lost
valuable time cropping for the rieh
career in private industry. In tn,
armv. however, a young man can b,
guided in his selection of craft O.
trade and move up in it through
paid while learning" steps.
