The Walter p. Luthys of Gran
din Avenue recently returned
from Miami Beach, Fla, where
they had a glorious time taking
in all the sights and amusements
that fabulous place has to offer.
The Luthys had reunion with
a former Broadwood family, the
Ted Corners, on their trip down.
The Corners are now living in
Port Orange and are thriving in
that wonderful climate
Between the Luthy's daily tricks
to the beach and occasional trips
to the races at Gulfstream, they
saw some of the outstanding at
fractions in the Miami area
The Monkey Jungle, south of
Miami, was one of the spots Wis
tied. This project was started
some 25 years ago to see whether
monkeys would breed in Florida,
and has now grown to a large
colony which is quite a tourist
attraction.
Another interesting stop was
made at Marineland-the huge
aquarium where people can OBJ
serve salt water marine life in its
natural habitat.
Mr.. Luthey stated that he
thought all the news of our cold
snowy weather were the machina-
tons of the Miami Chamber of
Commerce to keep tourists there
longer. He was amazed to find
out that it was all too too true.
The president of the Broad
wood group, Mrs. Meredith p.

meeting for all clubs will be held
at the Agricultural Center in

Reserve Plan
Open Here

An Army reserve program
which allows draft-eligible men
engaged in critical" occupations
to substitute six months of full
time military service for two
years required by Selective Serv-
ice has been opened to applicants
in the Washington area.
The program, designed to boil
ster reserve forces yet conserve
skilled civilian manpower, was es-
tablished in August by the Re-
serve Forces Act of 1855 and
made available to all military
services in January by presiden-
tial order. Only the Army has i'm
plemented the program thus far.
Eligible for draft deferment I'M
der the program are specialists
employed in "defense-supporting
industries or research activities
affecting national defense" They
must be in Selective Service class
la, with no appeal of the CLASH
fication pending.
The program is supplemented
locally through cooperation be-
tween local draft boards and D. c.
military district headquarters,
which coordinates Army reserve
activities in metropolitan Wash
ington.
Applications to local boards are
screened according to current
list of critical skills issued by the
Department of Labor. Once an
applicant is certified as a critical
specialist by the local board, he
is referred to military district
headquarters for enlistment into
the Army reserve for eight years.
Six months of active training
at Army centers normally begins
within 30 days of the date of en-
llStment. On completion OF field
training, the specialist is trans
ferred in draft-deferred status to
the standby reserve. He under
goes no further training while en-
gagged in the critical occupation
which determined his selection
for the program.
Once the critical employment
terminates, the specialist is trans
ferred to a ready reserve unit for
weekly training sessions and an
nual summer encampments until
the end of the term of enlistment,
Draft deferment continues as
long as his training is satisfac-
tory.

Fresh Pledges Coming?
Alaska and Hawaii Are SIutinq
New Knock AT Statehood Door

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Party plat
form writers should be spared one
slight chore this year-that of fash
ioning fresh pledges of statehood for
Hawaii and Alaska.
The old 1852 promises of Gimme
date statehood" will do just as well,
for neither Democrats nor Republi-
cans expect to redeem their pledges
before Congress adjourns, according
to a survey by Congressional Quarter
ly.
Chairman Clair Engle (D-Calif.)
of the House Interior Committee told
CO it's up to the Senate to act first
Sources declined to be quoted, but &C
knowledged little or no interest in
pushing through statehood bills dur
ing the current session.
Meanwhile, Alaska is taking mat
ters into it's own hands. On April "a
the territory's voters not only en-
dorsed draft state constitution, but
approved plan to elect two senators
and one representative next Oct. 9.
If history repeats itself, these Off
Gals will arrive in Washington next
January and demand in vain to be
seated as members of Congress. They
will then launch high-pressure cam
paign to push statehood bill through
both chambers.
