Operation Safety" the month-by-
month educational campaign to re-
duce seasonal hazards of traffic that

to assure that he does not walk

Druftees' and Veterans Guide
-By Moi. Thomos N. Mol.

III will bear true faith and allegiance
to the United States of America;
that I will serve them -"
i Before you've done all that at
your induction station. you are
given quick physical examination.
That's to see whether your physical
condition has changed since your
last check. the one that found you
okay for service.
The physical check you'll get on
induction day doesn't amount to
much and takes only few minutes.
If you fail it for some reason you
won't be indicted that day.
As soon as you take your step for
ward you start earning money at
the rate of SIS a month. That lasts
at least until you have passed
general military subjects test, given
after the eight-week basic training
period is through.
theoretically, you become eligible
for the grade of private (you have
been recruiD when you pass that
test. The Army says quite of few
draftees will get the Jump in grade
soon after finishing basic training
and passing that test.
A private earns $50 a month.
Maybe you're wondering whether
you can send allotments of money
Home each month and whether the
Army lends a financial hand in
the support of your partial depend
ents. Of you have a full dependent
you won't be drafted in the first
place)
Allotments definitely are provided
for by the Army. It's q confusing
subject. I'll try to get some sense
out Of 1t next time.
(From AP Newsfestures.)

No matter what you're making
now. its SIS a month as soon as 20,
60 into the Army.
Which might bring up a question
"just how do you 90 into the
Army" I mean, do you sign 6
paper? Or take an oath?
You do both. In fact, you'll have
to sign quite a few papers. But that
does not constitute induction.
What does, though, is taking one
pace forward! Yup, that's it-just
a small step forward, but one of the
larger steps you'll ever take. Be-
cause once you've taken it, you are a
part of the Army of the United
States.
Here's how it works: You, and the
other inductees on your day, report
to the induction center Gan Army
recruiting Office at the appointed
time. An officer tells you to line up.
1t might be the commanding officer
of the station, or some other officer.
He has list of names in his hand
and your name is on that list. You
are standing in front of him. in a
line. and he calls out your name
and tells you to take one step for
ward.
Before you take that step you are
just another civilian. After you've
taken it you are just another SOL
dier.
That's induction into the armed
services.
OF course, you do take the oath OF
allegiance. Everybody raises his
right hand. the officer reads the
oath and the draftees repeat
it after him: Il land you insert
your name) do solemnly swear that
