THE TALCO TIMES, TALCO, TEXAS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1*41
Plans for Release of 200,000
Soldiers
If the present plans of the War
Department are carried out, it will
pot be necessary to hold in service
any soldier for the full 18 months’
additional permitted by the recent
law. Instructions have already gone
out to the Divisional Commanders
in the field to release 200,000 within
the next four months.
Any soldier desiring a release
should make his request to his Com-
pany Commander in writing and
give the circumstances in his case,
which he believes should authorize
his release. A case of a typical
trainee might be Private John
Smith, age 25, Company A, 1st In-
/ fantry, whose father has recently
died leaving him the sole support
of his mother and two younger sis-
ters. Private Smith, if he desires
a release, should state in writing
that he wants a release and give the
circumstances to the Commander of
^ Company A. The Company Com-
mander forwards the requests thru
channels to the Commander of.
Smith’s division. After assuring
himself that Private Smith’s case
is properly established, the Division
Commander orders his release from
active duty.
Private Smith is given a physical
examination, turns in his equip-
ment except one complete uniform,
which he may take home with him;
fills out a simple questionnaire to
be sent to the Director of Selective Fair.
Service, who will help him find a | held,
job; and is paid in cash before he
leaves camp 5 cents a mile trans-
portation expenses to the location
of the local Board where he first
reported for delivery to an induct-
ion station.
Private John Smith is now just
John Smith again on his way home.
He will, however, be transferred to
the Enlisted Reserve Corps of the
Army of the United States. He will
serve in this Corps until he is 45
years old, or until the expiration of
10 years (less credits), or until dis-
charge, whichever comes first.
When Private Smith leaves camp,
he may take with him his barrack
bag; one field or service cap with
insignia; one set of collar and sleeve
insignia; one field jacket or wool
coat; one mackinaw or overcoat, if
required for warmth; two shirts;
one pair of trousers or breeches;
debt. Accordingly, high excess pro-
fits taxes were levied, and if they
had not been repealed after Prei’d
ent Wilson left office the entire debt
qf the nation, including the v/ar
debt, would have been fully paid
by the government by June 30, 1927.
Members of Congress from farm
districts are closely watching the
price-fixing bill, being apprehensive
that many of its most ardent and
enthusiastic supporters have in mind
keeping down the prices of cottbn,
corn, wheat, eggs, poultry, dairy
products and other commodities pro-
duced on the farm, while other
prices will be under no control or
Grayson Writes of
Interesting: Honolulu
An interesting letter was receiv-
ed recently by Dr. and Mrs. W. H.
Grayson of Bogata from their grand-
son, Bobby Grayson, who is in the
U. S. ftavy.
He states “Honolulu is still hav-
ing its year round springtime, eyen
to the spring showers. This is with-
out a doubt, the most wonderful
climate in the world. Bright sun-
ny days, cool nights, blue water and
green hills go to make up one of
nature’s loveliest places. One has
to see places like this before he can
begin to believe all he hears about
it. Crops grow the year round, as
soon as one is harvested another
takes its place.

here. With 50,000 sailors, 100,000
soldiers and about 10,000 marines

OUR WEEKLY LETTER FROM
Lonesome Bill
Dear Editor; I have been pick-

lery on account of I am too stiff and
sore to set up except at the dinner
I don’t much mind picking cot-
ton if everything goes on all right
and my back don’t hurt and my
knees don’t get sore. I’m a two-

milk down that sometimes it is
soured by the time it hits the buck-
et. But I guess I’ll save most of
my seed to plant next year. Any
cotton that can make it through all

must be pretty good. Yours truly,
LONESOME BILL.

The strength of the Army will not
be decreased under the rates of re-

the Army will build up a trained
reserve, while at the same time ad-

Draft Boards to Help Released
Selectees Find Jobs
Selective Service Officials thru-
out the country have been instruct-
ed to make arrangements to aid in
the reemployment of trainees to be
Released from the Army, beginning
Sept. 1. A Reemployment Commit-
teeman is to be named from among
the members of each local Board,
whose duty it will be to get in
touch with the former employer
prior to return of the soldier; to
ascertain whether the former job is
still available; to transmit to the
nearest State Employment Office
the records of returning soldiers,
who have no jobs awaiting them;
and to act as laison agent for the
soldier in placing him in contact
with available work. Under the
Selective Service Act, trainees have
the right to reemployment in their
civilian jobs when discharged.
Price Fixing
If all prices are fixed and profits
kept to a minimum, who will pay
the enormous debts that are being
contracted for National Defense? It
was President Woodrow Wilson’s
view during the first World War
that individuals and corporations
' should be allowed to make money,
but sufficient taxes should be taken
from their profits to pay the war
