Eight More Enlistees Leave Here in Frederick
Eight more men from Frederick left last week for Army and Air Forces training through the local recruiting office at 110 West Patrick Street. Total enlistments through the office since January reach 19. Sgt. Robert Lane, in charge, said regular three year Army and four year Air Force enlistments remain handled there. A new Presidential order opened 18 to 25 year olds to volunteer for a 21 month Army hitch, with volunteers processed via draft boards while regular enlistments continue at the office. Six enlistees processed at Martinsburg, W. Va., joined the Air Force for four years and were sent to Lackland or Bolling AFB for processing. Army enlistees were Ralph M. Kehne and James E. Giles, both 18, sent to Fort George G. Meade. The office can process only four Air Force recruits weekly due to training-center capacity, but a new basic training center soon will ease the limit. Prior service or two years of college exempt from the cap. Also on Monday, the Frederick County Young Republicans met at the Court House. William Crum presided, Vera K. Crawford was elected secretary, replacing Miriam Rohrer. Plans for a Washington’s Birthday dance at the Armory on February 24 were discussed along with a yearlong action program.
