Dallas—A swiftly growing Sig-
nal Corps whose motto is "Get
the Message Through" is facing
a constantly increasing need
for expert technicians—men
who work with tools—to man
the Army's far-flung communi- ,
cations systems, Colonel C. K.-l
Rhinehart, District Recruiting
& Induction Officer said today. •
"That's the Signal Corps"
message to me," he said, "and
it's my duty to get that mes-
sage through to the men of
Mineola who have skilled
hands."
The need for technicians in
the Signal Corps is immediate,
he asserted. The Army is comb-
ing the country to find them
for this service, and for the
Ordnance Department and Army
Air Forces as well.
"In the case where a man is
already a trained radio opera-
tor or repairman, or a tele- \
graph or telephone worker, we '-V-
can enlist him directly for the
Signal Corps and he will go
right to work, fighting with
the tools he works with,"
Colonel Rhinehart pointed out.
"A man who has not had ex-
perienced in the specific jobs
the Signal Corps' communica-
tions ' require, but who has
worked with tools and has skill-
ed hands, will be enlisted for
the Signal Corps Enlisted Re-
serve. He will attend one of
the many Signal Corps schools
and learn to do the job for
which he is needed. Then he
will be called to active duty
and will put his knowledge and
skills to work."
Colonel Rhinehart said that
men who are between 18 and
44 years of age, inclusive, may
enlist in the Signal Corps and
the Signal Corps Enlisted Re;-
serve if they are physically fit.
In addition he added, civilian
training is offered men more
than 16 years old who have
not yet been ordered to report
for induction under Selective
Service. They may apply to
attend a civilian communica-
tions school in or near their
home towns, he said, and they
will be well paid while they
attend. Upon completion of
the courses, they may qualify
for higher pay as their skill I
increases.
"Signal Corps technicians are
vitally important. They're the
men who get the messages •
through."
"Another thing." he added,
"is that the smaller the world
becomes as time goes on, the
' more important will become
the communications systems
which bind it together. A man
who works in the Signal Corps
will have an opportunity to
learn the operation and main-
tenance of newly developed
equipment which will not be *
released for civilian use for a
long time. They'll be ahead
of the game when they return
to civilian life."

And now here he was, one

The visitors read the account
through—it was the main ar-
ticle in the paper—and then
the recent defendant said:
"That was a mighty fine
speech my lawyer made to the
jury and you've got a real
good writeup of it, too. Let
me have six copies, please—
and how much are they?"
"Not a cent, not a cent,"
said a very relieved newspaper-
man. "Take them with our
compliments."
Random thoughts:
Every man complains of his
memory but no man complains
of his judgment.
