us that young men who enlist un-
der the Reserve Forces Act of
1855 may Go Army for two
years of active duty and leave in
January or even later. This plan
assures applicants who are close
to being indicted or those who
are smart enough to complete
their military obligation at an
early age, of staying home for
the coming holidays.
What il boils down to is this:
After the individual is sworn-in
he is assigned to a local Reserve
unit, with no drill obligations,
then has up to 120 days from en-.
llstment date to report for active
duty.
Between now and the New Year
we hope to form a county group
to be known as the Montgomery
County Sentinels." If enough APP
plicants are accepted between
now and December 81, the entire
< group could name any date in
( January as the time to begin
their training. Here's a splendid
chance to start the year with a
new career and at the same time
enter the service with your home
town buddies.
Further news about this pro.
posed group will be announced
in this column. Meanwhile, if
you are in that "age group" or if
you know someone who is. call
