Seventy trained at Clare National Defense School as Michigan reports a rise in National Defense enrollment. Across the state thirteen cities started new Defense Worker courses in August, with total enrollment reaching 26,579, up from 24,659. Plan I programs expanded in Allegan Bronson Dowagiac and other cities, while NYA youth programs and out of school youth training also grew.
