Nor, in event the United States is drawn into the war now fermenting in Europe, can CCC en- rollees be inducted into the nation’s fighting forces, except as individual citizens on the :,ame footing as would apply to those outside the CCC. •‘With serious war threats in Eu- lope and none of us knowing what the future may hold for our own country during such trying times the question of military training in the CCC may be raised, as it has in the past. "The public on the whole, I be lieve, has not favored military train ing for the CCC. The President has opposed it on various occasions. "There are no official plans be ing made now to require enrollees to undergo military training. The Di rector does see possible changed con- ditionse in the world and in the United States which might change the minds of the public and of Con gress regarding the advantageous ness of military training for the CCC. “The CCC is not a part of the armed forces of the country—WhUe I am sure that if they are needed to defend the nation or uphold its rights, CCC men would be tynong the first to reepond to a call for such duty, enrollees cannot, under existing law, be inducted into these armed forces.

At Friday’s regular Rotary Lunch eon. the Rev. Voight Taylor, pastor of the Church of Wide Fellowship, gave a vocational talk. He outlined the various activities of the church, and the many organizations that had to participate in the church work so that it could function successfully in a community. Speaking of a minis ters own job^ Mr. Taylor said that It has its many problems, among oth ers acute business ones. He was glad though to say that there was a great amount of personal satisfaction in being a part of the Church.
