Eisenhower Pushes Four Year Draft Extension and Large Reserve Rise
President Eisenhower sent two messages to Congress urging a four year extension of the draft law and a major expansion of the reserves to five million trained men by 1959. The plan includes training 17 and 18 year olds for six months and then five extra years in the reserves while boosting military pay but excluding many with less than two years’ experience.

North Mill street still shows holiday decoration remnants
The area along North Mill street retains large pine boughs on utility poles as most decorations have been removed. Residents are urged to file income tax forms by mail or at the internal revenue office in the post office building second floor. A new light at Moody and Wilmington slows traffic after a blinker replaces the former signal. City police motorcycles are used more now due to favorable winter conditions, with two-wheelers patrolling daily rather than being mothballed.
