“After January 31st, 1946, there
will be no more ^enlistment, in
temporary grades," Capt. Lavern El-
wood, officer in charge of the U. S.
Army recruiting station in San An-
tonio stated today “All promotions
in the Army on or after July 1, 1J4-,
are temporary grades.
"All doubt must be erased from
the minds of soldiers now serving in
the Army of the United States in re-
gards to the grade in which they c
reenlist after the January 31st dead
line.” Capt. Elwood continued.
"Any soldier who has not been
out of the Army more than twenty
days may reenlist in his highest tem-
norarv grade held at the time of hi*
discharge, but in no case can a sol-
IrS'lst in hi. highest temporary
grade after January 31st.
* "After this date a soldier will
still have twenty days to reenlist
and retain his highest permanent
grade, but not his temporary grade,
Capt. Elwood concluded.

J THE LAST DAY
A FOR MEN NOW IN THE ARMY TO
k RETAIN THEIR PRESENT GRADES
T BY REENLISTING .. •
Men now in the Army who re-
enlist before February 1 will
be reenlisteJ in their present
grade. Men honorably dis-
charged can reenlist within 20
days after discharge in the
grade they held at the time of
discharge, provided they re-
enlist before February 1, 1946.
There’s a long list of attractive
reenlistment privileges in the
new Armed Forces Voluntary
Recruitment Act of 1945. The
ability to keep your present
grade is only one of them, but
this privilege expires ort
January 31.
There arc plenty of other
reasons why many thousands
of men have enlisted, and more
thousands are enlisting every
day. You'll certainly want to
know all of the opportunities
open to you. If you'll read
them carefully, you’ll know
why a job in the new peace-
time Regular Army is being
regarded today as “The Best
Job in the World.”

GIANTS TAKE HARTUMC, STAR
OF BASEBALL AT HAAF
Clinton Hartung, former star
Service League pitcher who attract-
ed many fans to local games here
last season, has been sold to the New
York Giants, according to an Asso-
ciated Press dispatch.
The dispatch said the deal had
been in the process of completion
ever since the minor league meet-
ings last week. Hartung is a right-
hand pitcher, formerly first baseman
and outfielder of the Minneapolis
Millers of the American Assn.
The Giants said they were giving
“players and cash” for the 22-year-
old husky, and it was reported the
deal would involve three players and
possibly as much as $20,000 so high-
ly was Hartung touted, not only a!
a pitcher, but as a batsman whr
“can hit a ball from state to state.’’

Clinton Hartung is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Harutng of Hondo
and was stationed at Hondo Army
Air Field for the time of his service

ALEXANDRIA TOPS ARMY
ENLISTMENTS
Alexandria and nine surrounding
parishes are leading state in volun-
teer enlistments in comparison with
other parishes, Capt. Charley A.
Leinweber, commanding officer of
the Alexandria Army Recruiting
Station, said today.
Capt. Leinweber said, “As com-
manding officer of Rapides, Grant,
Winn, Natchitoches, Vernon, Evan-
geline, Avoyelles, La Salle, Cata-
houla and Concordia parishes, I am
very proud of my territory and I
hope some day that I may have the
opportunity to serve in some capaci-
ty with every one who re-enlisted in
the regular army.”
Capt. Leinweber has nearly 16
years service in the army, having
spent most of it as an enli.-ted man
until Aug. 22, 1942 at which time
he received a direct commission. He
hopes to re-enlist some day, finish
his 20 years service and retire under
the new act of Congress which was
passed Oct 6, 1945. He has been
on recruiting duty in Texas, Okla-
homa, and now Louisiana for the
past six and one-half years and
knows all the answers regarding en-
listing in the regular army. He may
be contacted at the U. S. Army Re-
cruiting Station, Old Courthouse
Bldg., Alexandria.
Capt. and Mrs. Leinweber and
their daughter, Peggy, reside at
2606 Jackson street.
Capt. Leinweber is a son of Mr.
and Mrs. Louis Leinweber of Hondo.

Applications for these loans are
being taken in Devine at Mr. F. R.
Briscoe’s Store by Mr. Briscoe. The
security required is a first lien on
the crops to be financed. The loans
are available only to those farmers
unable to secure loans from banks
or other sources.
These loans, generally known as
“The Seed Loans,” have been made
in Texas since 1931 and have prov-
en of great benefit to farmers whose
cash requirements are small. Repay-
ment of the loans has been high.
Borrowers are required to plant
large gardens for home use and a
balanced program of feed, food and
cash crops is encouraged.
A loan to finance the purchase or
production of feed is also made on
livestock by this agency.
The maximum loan to an individ-
ual is $400.
The seed ami feed loans are ad-
ministered in Texas under the direc-
tion of W. E. Farwell, manager of
the Emergency Crop and Feed Loan
