The War Department has announced the appointment of Mr. J.T. Reece, Yadkinville, N.C., as a County Representative for the Citizens’ Military Training Camps for the coming summer.
Mr. Reece states that he will receive a supply of application blanks for the training camps shortly and will be ready to pass these out to young men between the ages of 17 and 24 who might want to take a month’s encampment in July at government expense.
Congress appropriates nearly $3 million annually to enable young men to develop their physical powers under proper supervision.
Railroad fare, meals enroute and at camp, uniforms, laundry, athletic equipment and medical and dental treatment are furnished.
Four vacancies only have been allotted Yadkin County, and it is expected that these will all be taken by April 1st. Others may apply and if vacancies occur later, they will be taken care of.
