T rainees T ake Little
Excess Baggage To
U. S. Military Camps
Fort Bragg? Very little excess
baggage is being brought to Fort
Bragg by selective service trainees,
Li Col. Earl C. Ewert, commanding
officer of the Recruit Reception Cen
ter, stated today With very few ex
ceptions, only a bag with toilet ar
ticles and a small amount of neces
sary clothing is brought by the train
ees.
Credit for this is given by Colonel
Ewert to the state headquarters for
selective service and the local boards
which have issued instructions re
garding the amount of baggage train
ees should take with them to the re
ception centers. As a result of these
lnstructions. very few men are en
cumbered by excess baggage and the
center is not having any difficulty
'in sending civilian clothing and bag
gage home by those men who do '
not want to keep them after being
issued their army equipment. Ar- |
rangements have been made with an
express company so that trainees
may send baggage home charges col
lect.
Necessary toilet articles should br
brought as the men will spend tht
first day and night at an induction .
station, whereas toilet kits are not
issued them until their arrival at the
reception center Men should bring
shaving cream and toothpaste, or
funds to buy these items, as the toil
et kits issued at the reception centers
contain a razor, shaving brush, tooth
brush, comb and soap, but not shav
ing cream or toothpaste. Surplus per- I
sonal articles can be retained or sent
home.
Mail of the trainees is the biggest
problem. As the trainees seldom re-1
main in the reception center longer
than two or three days, they are
gone before a letter from home ar
rives. It is then necessary to check
through reception center files to
find out where each man has gone
and then forward the letter to him.
This causes some delay in receipt of
mail.
Men are urged to wait until they
have been assigned to a permanent
organization before htey have home
folks write them. When a selectee is
accepted or rejected at the induction
station, a card is mailed to a relative
stating that fact. When he has pass
ed through the reception center and
has been assigned to a permanent
organization before they have home
card is sent to the relative giving the
address to which mail may be sent
Parents and friends are urged to
wait until the arrival of this second
card before writing. This will assure
that'there will be no delay in deliv
ery of mail.

New Chick Disease i
Appears In State
H. C Gauger of the N. C. State
College Poultry Department is warn
ing North Carolina farmers to be on
the lookout for a new disease of baby
chicks that has caused considerable
alarm in many sections.
Known as epidemic tremor be
cause affected chicks show a pecu
liar vibration of the head, the dis
ease has been seen in a few sections
for the past three years. However, a
comparatively large number of out
breaks have been reported this year,
particularly in Chatham County.
On the basis of recent research
work, it appears that the disease is
caused by a virus, an agent smaller
than an ordinary germ. The symp
toms may consist of a fine or coarse
head vibration or tremor and a para
lytic-like condition affecting the legs
although the former symptom may
sometimes be absent.
Epidemic tremor aff<?cts chicks in
acute form up to the seventh week
Although day-old chicks may show
symptoms, it is during the second and
third week after hatch that symp
toms are generally observed. Mor
tality may run as high as 50 per cent
hut usually the losses are around 10
to 15 per cent. Apparently, the dis
ease is not very contagious.
Poultry men who encounter the
disease should take the following
steps: Carefully inspect the brood
several times a day and remove, de
stroy or burn all affected chicks at
once; carefully clean and disinfect
the floor and side-walls every two
or three days; clean and disinfect
feed containers daily; give fresh wa
ter several times each day and dis
infect the water containers prior to
each filling with fresh water.
