A county-wide meeting of the
Milam County American Red
Cross Chapter will be held at
7:30 p. m. August 13 in the
Rockdale Chamber of Commerce
office. This office is located above

The meeting is for the purpose

hoard of directors for the com-
ing year, Jack Prescott, county
chapter chairman, stated Wed-
nesday.
Anyone who is interested in the
work of the Red Cross or who

plane.
The Guardsmen's special train
will be made up of Pullmans,
baggage cars and a kitchen car
for the preparation of meals en
route.
On arrival at Fort Bliss, the
Guardmen will be quartered in
barracks and eat in mess halls.
They will not have to “rough it”
as in previous encampments.
The 649th Battalion will en-
gage in its two weeks of sum-
mer field training with units of
the New Mexico National Guard
and with AAA units from Lou-
isiana. The training schedule calls
for the Guardsmen to conduct
familarization and record firing
on the range with carbines, sub-
machine guns and rocket laun-
chers, and also communication
and maintenance training during
the first week, with a big review
and parade on Saturday.
Much of the second week will
be spent in the field on the Oro
Grande range in New Mexico
where the anti-aircraft artillery
gun crews will fire 40mm guns
and 50 cal. machine guns at mov-
ing ground and aerial targets.
The Guardsmen will return to Ft.
Bliss the latter part of the week
to receive their pay for train-
ing and then start the home-
ward trip by special train.
Although the two weeks is
crowded with training activities,
the schedule also allows the
Guardsmen plenty of off duty
time in which to take advantage
of Fort Bliss's fine PX’s, movie
theaters and service clubs, and
to visit nearby El Paso or to
go across the border to colorful
Juarez in Old Mexico.
