OFF the CUFF

DURING these warm summer

native land of Australia. Winter

When it gets too cool, the Aus
tralians just crawl into bed.

AVA Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Reaser,
Fulton street, will leave by July 8

Reservists Nav
Return ToDuty

ERIE ORDNANCE DEPOT -
Because of the need for additional
trained personnel in the Army, the
Department of Army has author
lied the Second Army Commander
to call specified quotas of enlisted
reservists to short periods of active
duty on a voluntary basis, accord
ing to word received today by
Capt. William Stuart, acting ad-
iutant of this post.
The reenlistment tours of duty
will range from nine to II months
and any periods within those linz
its, it is explained.
The members of the Enlisted Re-
serve Corps are needed to perform
overhead duties at stations within
the Second Army Area, which en-
braces Ohio, Indiana, West Vir-
ginia, Kentucky, Virginia, Pennsyl-
vania and Maryland.
Each enlisted reservist who
wishes to come back into the Reg
ular Army to assist in the ma
tional security program will have
all the opportunities and rights en-
joyed by Regular Army personnel.
Assignments will be made in the
Army Area in which the reservlsts
live, and they will be subject for
duty only in the United States.
The enlisted reservists entering
on active duty can enlist in their
present reserve grade. They Will
be eligible for permanent promo
tions while on active duty. Grade
| reservists, however, may or may
not be allowed to enlist in the
Regular Army in that grade, owing
to a tremendous surplus existing
in Grade l. Each such case will
be Judged on the reservist's own
individual merits and final deci-
sian made by Headquarters Second
Army.
Those desiring to remain in the
Army indefinitely can do so on the
basis of their qualifications. Cur
rent standards for enlistment in
the Regular Army will govern the
current ERC reenlistment program
Although those coming back into
the Army normally will be re-
quired to meet physical require
ments for general service, ir
cases where the individuals ply
sical defect would not materially
affect his ability to perform duty
in his primary military occupation
al speciality, waiver for the defec'
down to the minimum standard:
for limited service may be recon-
mended. Such recommendation will
be made to the Army Commander
or in the case of the Military Dis
trict of Washington, to its Com
manding General.
Men reenlisting in this expan
sion emergency can either take VI
their former military occupationa
speciality, or they may be able t.
qualify for a new MOS which ma!
long have appealed to them. TIL
program calls for specialists il
many lines, ranging from admin
istration and supply to all sorts o
technical services.
