you're already on one, but if you
aren't you can look forward to ar
eight-hour day five days a week
or possibly four eight-hour days and
two four-hour days. ~.
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
and 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 a wide range. The
idea is to enable the Army to learn
more about you-your likes, your
dislikes, your aptitudes, your rough
spots-than you know yourself.
And then, of course, the Army can
attempt-enphasize 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. truck.
But after assembling all the dope
on you and studying it carefully the
Army will make an effort to put you
in 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 surprise package
until you actually get 1t.

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, physicals, 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 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 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 a rough, bare outline of
lot of stuff which the Guide" will
cover in detail in future columns:

3-AIarm Fire Races
Maryhurst School,
Vacant Many Years

Fire broke out in the abandoned
Maryhurst Catholic School in West
HyattsvIle early today and nearly
destroyed the rambling frame struc-
ture despite the efforts of five fire
departments.
Vacant for several years, the
building and 40 acres of land was
first bought by the Government in
1912 and two years ago was sold to
the Perry Boswell real estate COM
pany of Mount Rainier. The Boswell
firm had offered to sell the property
for $25,00o.
- Three alarms were sounded for
the fire. first observed at about 3
am. The Hyattsville, Brentwood
Mount Rainier, Riverdale and Cot
tage City fire departments circled
the structure with apparatus, but
the fire had too good start.
Thomas R. Giblin, an accountant
living across the street from the
building at Bill Nicholson street,
was awakened by smoke pouring into
his bedroom window. BY the time
the Hyattsville Fire Department ar
rived, flames were shooting from the
left wing of the building.
Famed by a wind estimated at
up to 40 miles an hour. the flames
spread rapidly. Two fire trucks
brought hose into play on nearby
homes of a new residential develop
ment, to douse sparks flying with
the wind.
BY dawn, when the flames were
under control, only three walls and
part of the roof were standing.
The interior was completely razed
with an ornate stairway and other
valuable wood destroyed.
One fireman, David c. Zaas, 81
of S407 Taylor road, Riverdale, was
treated at Leland Memorial Hos
pital, Riverdale, for a wrenched knee
and released
Firemen were unable to explain
the fire, but said children had
played in the building frequently.
The Sisters of Providence oper-
ated the place as a parochial school
for about 20 years, and later it was
used as headquarters for the east
ern province of the order.
