Five State Reservists
Begin Active Training

Five Delaware Army Reservists
commenced their 6-months active
duty military training at Fort
Knox, Ky, this week, under the
provisions Of the new Reserve
Forces Act. They are William H.

street, James T. Irons, GA North
Jackson street, Robert r. Kohler,
1922 West Sixth street, Harry F.
Welch, 19 East Both street, all OF
Wilmington, and Richard L, Hart
nett, Cherry street, Dover.
The first four, members of the
Wilmington 763rd Field Artillery
Battalion and the other from the
Dover 317th Tank Battalion, made
up the first group of Delaware. Ar
my ReserVists to enlist under the
new Act which qualities any young
man from II to 1917 years of age
to enlist in the eight year program
(six months active duty and 71a
years in the Reserve) and take
deferments to complete high school
or for other purposes so long as
he satisfactorily takes part in the
Reserve training during the per-
iod Of his enlistment
AT the Fort Knox Center, their
training will be divided into three
eight-week cycles. The first will
be a basic combat course; the sec
ond, a special course in the
trainee's assigned branch, and the
third, a course devoted to unit
training and administration.
Official reports indicates that the
cadre Of instructors at the Center
have been handpicked for this as
signment, inasmuch as there is
deep concern for the morals OF
these youngsters, and the training
is expected to be strict so as t0
meet the standards expected by
church, school and temperance
groups. The Center will provide
sufficient recreationai facilities to
Offset the usual Army morale bus
ters: boredom, loneliness and abb
sence from family and friends.
After the six-months training,
the men will return to Delaware
TO resume their Reserve activities.
Concurrent with the departure
of Delaware's first five Army Re-
serVists came notice the Della
ware Military District Chief, Colo
mel Francis H. Barnes, to all Della
ware Army Reserve unit command
ers that the procurement Of per-
sOnnel for Army Reserve units in
the seVen-state Second Army area
(Of which Delaware is one) has
been slow, but that Delaware had
obtained so per cent of the total
number enlisted in Second Army
the first month after the Act was
passed. He urged unit command
ers to make recruiting their num-
ber-one effort.
THE Reserve Program, with the
help of the new Act" stated Colo
mel Barnes, could become the
means of building up a substantial
and prepared Reserve to act as a
bulwark against aggression, at
the same time secure our national
defense without straining our eco
nOmy to the breaking point"
Delaware Army Reversists, he
spointed out, should be urged to ac-
quaint their friends who are not
Army Reservists to take advantage
Of the new Act. Pointing out, he
concluded, the attractive training
program provided for in units spe-
cializing in engineering, electrOn-
les, medicine, finance, communica-
tiOns, supply and administration,
located in Army Reserve training
centers in Wilmington, Dover, Sea-
ford and Fort Miles.
