Great Influx to Radio School as War Draft Nears
The near approach of the draft age expansion to 15 through 45 and a city trade school expansion have drawn many applicants to the radio school. Eight instructors teach the signal corps course as room fills and new admissions move to Monday evenings. Most newcomers are youths under draft age awaiting next month’s registration, with classes designed to ready them for signal service and buzzer work. Major Hickey, formerly Connecticut National Guard inspector general, has been commissioned a major in the U S Army and ordered to report to Camp Taylor.
