There is an opportunity for one more young man from this vicinity to avail himself of the 30-day encampment en-campment at the expense of Uncle Sam, Major Robinson annocnced. He also states that Staff Sergeant John Pool, on duty with the 38th infantry at the post, who was sergeant ser-geant major of the encampment held last year, is again in charge of the post CMTC office and will again occupy a similar position with this year's camp.
