And from all indications, the drive will end on a flying note also. The campaign to fill some 750 vacancies in units throughout the State will wind up Feb. 28, according to Maj. Gen. Maxwell E. Rich, Utah Adjutant General. And the flying finish is whats in store for National Guardsmen who bring in the largest number of recruits. A special prize of a free flight to Hawaii has been arranged for the contest winners, Gen. Rich said. SOME 40 lucky, and eager, Utah National Guardsmen will make the trip during the latter part of March or early April in one of the Utah Air National Guards Heavy transports during a routine training flight to the Islands. This will be the first time passengers, outside the crew, will be allowed on these flights. Gen. Rich said the drive is especially aimed at young men out of high school and persons with prior military service. High school seniors who will graduate this Mav or June are also eligible to fill the vacancies. An additional quota of 150 for the six months active duty training program has been obtained for high school seniors for departure in late May and early June. 7 THE will NON-Vetera- Study Shows Need for More Roadside Parks Thru State . roadside camp park Was called a ground."
