Druftees' and Veterans Guide
BY Maj. 7homos M. NioI-

OF course, you want to know when
inductions (the official word for it,
are going to get underway. So does
everybody else.
AS this is written, the best guess
is that the first 25-year-old will get
inside of an Army training center
barracks by November Is.
Almost anything might happen to
change that date, but the last time
I talked to Pentagon contacts, that
was the date they gave me. Be
tween the 18th and 15th,' they said.
The basic training period is eight
weeks. Actually, it will take four or
five days to get "processed" through
screening tests. pfysicals, orientation
talks and so forth, so the training
won't start until the end of the first
week,
And at the end of training, there
probably will always be a small de-
lay. sometimes a large one, before
getting shipped from the training
center to Regular Army unit
which means you can count on being
at your training center for almost
10 weeks. .
Some draftees will remain at their
first Army camp for a lot longer
than the eight weeks basic training
period. They are the ones who are
assigned to special schools at the
training center.
Now for rough, bare outline of a
lot Of stuff which the Guide" will
cover in detail in future columns:
AS soon as you get your uniform
you go on a 4o-hour week. Maybe

IceIandic Doctor Due
Al Glenn Dale Today
To Aid Short Staff

A doctor from Iceland was due
today to bolster the critically short
medical staff at crowded Glenn Dale
Sanatorium.
The physician, DR.. Sigmundus E.
Dalberg, who has been in this
country for postgraduate training,
has been approved for employment
at Glsnn Dale and is due to report
for duty today, DR.. Daniel Finu-
cane. superintendent, said.
Because he is not a citizen and
does not yet have license to prac-
tice here, the doctor will be listed
as a resident in training" DR..
Finucane said. But he will be a
great help and we really need him, -
the superintendent added.
DR.. Dalberg spent several years
in this country, returned to Iceland
and then came back here a year
ago. Since then he has served in
hospitals in Richmond, Va, and
New York City.
At present, there are 10 vacancies
on the medical staff. Only four ward
doctors are on duty, DR.. Finucane
said, but he, the assistant superin-
tendent and the chief medical officer
"are all helping out" to care for the
SIS patients at the sanatorium.
Low pay and lack of housing for
doctors and their families have been
responsible chiefly for inability to
get more doctors at Glenn Dale, DR..
Finucane said Last week, the Com
missioners were urged to support in
creased pay for the doctors and
adequate housing on the grounds.
Brig. Gen. Gordon r. Young, En-
gineer Commissioner, said he hoped
construction bids could be asked
early next month on a $65 900, four
unit apartment at Glenn Dale. Until
they are ready, meanwhile, DR.. Dali
berg and his wife will have only a
room at the sanitarium, DR.. Finu-
cane said.

Woman Leads Family
To Safety From Fire

An Alexandra woman who was
awakened by smoke this morning,
aroused the four members of her
family, called the, fire department
and led her s4-year-old mother to
safety.
Mrs. Gene Keels, a nurse, was
awakened shortly after retiring at
l am. She knocked on the doors Of
her sleeping sister, her daughter and
q grandson. She told the telephone
operator her house was on fire,
awakened her mother, Mrs. Eugenie
Hernholm, and led her from the
house at 208 South st. Aspah street.
Mrs. Keels said the fire did not
spread beyond the library because
she had closed all doors leading to
the library before retiring. The fire
appeared to have started under
meath the floor. Firemen estimated
damage at about $1,000.
Mrs. Keel's house is the Old Pres
byterian Manse, built during the
Victorian era and used as q resi-
dence for Alexandria Presbyterian
ministers in former years.
Mrs. Keels said her Great Dane,
Smokey" who was in a room next
to the library, did not even bark.

10 Arlington Schools
ace 0vercrowdino
Soon, Braun Says

Even with the five schools to be
financed from recent bond issue,
at least 1s other Arlington ele-
mentary schools face serious over
crowding during the next few years
unless additional new buildings are
constructed, Edward j. Braun,
county school board consultant, said
today.
Mr.. Braun said construction Of
the additional facilities is depend
|ent on passage of q s4.750, 900 bond
issue on which a referendum will
be held November 2. A s1,776, 900
bond issue was sold earlier this
month and will be used to replace
two schools and to construct three
new ones.
Mr.. Braun referred to the re-
suits Of a special census made last
spring which. revealed that the ele-
mentary school population in Ar
lington will double within five years.
For example, he pointed out, the
Bancroft School has 298 pupils en-
rolled while the number of pre-
school children in the area, accord
ing to the census, totaled 500, or
exactly double. A like situation
exists at Woodmont, he said. There
are ITO pupils enrolled at Woodmont
but 220 children five years or young
er now live in the Woodmont dis
trict.
Other schools which will have a
large increase in enrolment within
the next few years include Kate
Waller Barrett, 457 enrolled and
1,l03 preschool population; Patrick
Henry, 647 as compared with 1893;
Walter Reed, 5S2 and 1,469, and
Nellie Gusts, $40 and 873.

you're already on one, but If you
aren't you can look forward to an
eight-hour day five days week
or possibly four eight-hour days and
two four-hour days. 90
That pattern will start, the Army
told me, as soon as the initial proc
essing is completed. The Army says
the week ends are yours, to &c
eand come as you please.
You're going to take a lot of tests
those first three or four days. The
tests are much more comprehensive
than those given to the 1910 draft
boys. They cover wide range. The
idea is to enable the Army to learn
more about you-your likes, your
disikes, your aptitudes, your rough
spots-than you know yourself.
And then, of course, the Army can
attempt-emphasize attempt-to put
you in the spot you're best fitted for.
There's no guarantee that because
you happen to be an expert in
radio you'll work on Army radios.
You might end up driving a truck.
But after assembling all the dope
on you and studying it carefully the
Army will make an effort to put you
IL the job you can best handle.
Save yourself time and don't write
me letters asking what, chance you
have Of getting into specialized
Army fields. NOBODY, least of all
myself, can give you any kind of an
answer.
The job you'll get in the Army is
wrapped up in a surprise package
until you actually get it.

lives of the IS inmates at the Man.
assas institution. Her charges, she
said, range in age from 65 to 95 and
their one great desire in recent
weeks has been to drive In the bright
countryside.
In the hope of fulfilling this de-
sire, Mrs. Funk related, she entered
the contest to select the queen of
the exposition. First prize was a
$500 vacation cottage. 1t was her
plan, Mrs. Funk related, to sell the
cottage if she won the crown and
buy station wagon for the aims
house inmates. And, she added, If
anything was left over after buying
the station wagon, she planned to
buy false teeth for some OF her ven-
cradle friends.
Achievements was the basis for Sc
lecting the queen and the contest
ants ranged in age from 10 to 80.
Audience applause as recorded on an
applause meter and the opinions of
three judges combined to select the
queen.

Virginia Offers Help
To All municipalities
On Traffic Congestion

Traflc-congested Virginia munich
palities now may turn to the State
for traffic engineering assistance.
The State Highway Department said
towns and cities can initiate exhaus-
tive traffic surveys by simply ad-
dressing a request to the State
highway commissioner.
In the field of traffic engineer
ing, we have abandoned the anti
quated idea that the problems of
city and State are separated by the
corporate line" said Kenneth M.
Wilkinson, associate traffic engineer.
Traffic engineering studies are Of
fered the municipalities at cost.
The highway department provides
the engineering personnel and the
city pays for whatever additional
help is needed. In cases of COM
prehensive surveys similar to one
conducted recently In Richmond, the
projects are often jointly financed
with the State, Federal and city
funds.
Studies in Cities.
The urban studies are carried out
by the traffic and planning divi-
sion of the highway department
under the general supervision of
K. G. McWane, traffic and planning
engineer. Mr.. Wilkinson is charged
with field work and preparation of
reports and recommendations.
During the past year the high
way department conducted full
traffic and parking studies in four
Virginia cities. Smaller-scale sur
veys were made in a number of
other municipalities.
Many other studies are scheduled
and will be completed "just as soon
as we can get on them," according
to Mr.. Wilkinson.
Extends to Streets.
The engineering service is not
confined entirely to State highway
extensions through the cities. 1t ex-
tends to all city streets and to all
phases of street transportation.
During the past year extensive
studies were conducted in Lynch
burg, Richmond, Winchester and
Charlottesville. Other postwar
studies have included parking sur
veys in Harrisonburg and Staunton
and bypass studies in and around
Danville, Suffolk and South Boston.
