Wardrop of the Brigham City army recruiting office. Sgt. Wardrop made these five points in a Fourth of July statement stressing the need for young men and the advantages offered them by an army enlistment: 1. This is the first Independence day since 1940 on which the United States army has on the been relying entirely volunteer system. Selective service as a means of obtaining manpower was discontinued on March 31. 2. It marks the settling down of the military force to 1,070,000 men, fixed by congress as the required strength on July 1. The million-maservice, largest in our peacetime history, out the is required to carry armys domestic assignments plus overseas duties in Europe and Asia. 3. This Jlily, with substantially all wartime draftees either mustered out or reenlisted, the country is depending largely on original enlistments for the needed every 30,000 recruits month. 4. Youth and quality are the tw'in goals of the army recruiting service, and emphasis is now being placed more strongly than ever on the enrollment of These high school graduates men are the best single group for training in the use of new industrial and scientific devices used by the postwar army. 5. This summer also marks the inauguration of new army in the training programs ground, air, and administrative which and technical services for broaden the opportunities young men to obtain education and training within the service either for military careers or for better jobs in commercial and industrial life.
