Re serve Forces Act of 1955 were ex plained to junior and senior boys at Waynesville High School Tues day morning by two officers of Waynesville's Army Reserve unit, Company F., 518th Infantry Regi ment. The first speaker, Lt. Robert Conway of Waynesville, asserted that a strong, well-trained reserve is important to this country today because the United States has a standing army of only one and a half million, whereas the Russians have an army of more than six million, and Red China has anoth er two million in its growing armed forces. The speaker pointed out that the U. S. had sufficient time dur ing World War I and World War II to train men after wars was de clared. but warned that if World War III is ever fought?with atomic and hydrogen bombs?the time for training will be extremely limited. He compared the reserve today with a volunteer fire department? emphasizing that such a force must be organized and trained be- j fore a fire breaks out?not after. Lt. Conway pointed out that is | is the common opinion of leaders of the free nations that World , War III can best be forestalled by j the strength of the West?espec- | ially the United States, and added that the reserve must play a major part in maintaining this country's armed striking power. The second speaker, Lt. Charles D. Parker of Asheville, commander of Company F. explained that the new Reserve Forces Act of 1955 provides for a six-year enlistment plan and an eight-year plan. In the six-year plan, he said, a man goes on active duty for two years, and then perves in the re serve for the remaining four?the last year in an inactive status. In the eight-year plan, Lt. Parker pointed out, a man serves on active duty only six months, but joins a reserve On it in his home town for his remaining enlistment and at tends drills for two hours one night (Continued on page 4) DONT TEAR OFF THE OLD ROOF BECAUSE IT LEAKS - - - RENEW IT ere BEN SLOAN Building Maintenance Materials r.O.
