liens Now Conference is designed
to focus attention of the young
men on the fact that there is no
miracle age at which they sud-
denly leave the stage of prepara-
tion and become active citizens.

their obligations are as real now
as when they become adults. 1t

portunity to meet and listen to
outstanding leaders in business,
education, religious and social
fields. The delegates will be en-
couraged in their vocational as
pirations by living at the univer'
sity.

One year ago, Bob Renfrew of
Rockville, was just getting ac-
quainted with his new venture of
being soldier. Just out of high
school a month earlier, he had
enlisted with a group Of his bud
dies at Richard Montgomery High
School because he wanted to be
a paratrooper. The Army gave
him that chance. Last month Bob
graduated from Airborne training
with flying colors.- In recent
letter, Bob wrote his mother,
Mrs. John B. Renfrew, 1905
Lewis Drive, that hitting the
silk" was the most thrilling feel
ing in the world. Bob takes to
his life as an Army paratrooper
like a duck to water. Ask him
why he chose the Regular Army
and he'll no doubt tell you that
the Army was the only service
that guarantees in writing, choice
of technical school training; that
one can get choice-rlot chance!
To prove it, Bob signed up for
aviation mechanics school and
not only was school-trained for
six months, but is now a crew
chief on an Army plane when
he's not doing a now routine"
jump from a thousand or two
thousand feet UP.
Mrs. Renfrew, Bob's mother,
who works for the Army in The
Pentagon building, tells US that
her older son, Andy, is with a
combat Engineer unit near Frank
fort, Germany. Andy, too, is
building quite a name as a dem
clifton expert. Several months
ago, he graduated with honors
from lengthy course in demoli-
ton techniques and for his ability,
was promoted this month to
Army Specialist third class. Andy
writes that he plans to tour
Europe in his recently purchased
Volkswagen. He'll probably stock
up on camera film because that's
his second love, according to his
mother.
People from far and near come
to Room 100, Old Court House, to
pay their taxes, to get their auto
plates, to pay that latest fine,
obtain marriage license, and for
just about every other thing in
