‘ ¢ 8 4 » Organized Reserves Under the provisions of Army Regu- lations 140-5, Reserve officers who de- |} sired to pass to the inactive list were not allowed to do so until the expira- |} tion of their current five-year appoint- ment. There are quite a number of If Reserve officers residing in the District | il of Columblia who, due to the pressure of their business pursuits, have not been able to take any training, either on an active or inactive duty status, and yet under the regulations have Dbeen kept on an assigned status. This | i served as a block to the promotion of other officers, since no matter what the qualifications of the other officers in |} regard to the higher grade, because of the fact that there was no vacancy a|j promotion could not be made. This situation has now bezen to some extent remedied by recent orders issued to corps area commanders and chiefs of I branches. In the future a Reserve officer who is in an assignment status may, upon his own written application, be re- lieved of his assignment and placed on an unassigned or inactive status at any time and will be kept on such inactive status for the remainder of his five- year appointment perlod. Such an of- ficer will not be a charge against the allotment under the procurement ob- jective in determining vacancies for ap- pointment, promotion or transfer. In other words, in voluntarily transterring | i to the inactive list a Reserve officer | i makes way for some other officer who |} is able to be more active in military training. An officer voluntarily going to the inactive list will not be eligible for further assignment, active duty training or promotion during the re- mainder of his five-year appointment period. ‘This also will hold upon the officer’s reappointment unless there is a vacancy within the procurement ob- jective and the officer has established | his eligibility in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 15 of Army Regulations 140-5.

When telephone = service suddenly ttopped between Melbourne and Albury, Australia, says the Pathfinder magazine, @ long, careful search revealed that the cause of the trouble was & magpie. This busy bird had built & nest on the top of a pole—a nest 14 inches across and about 8 inches deep. The size of the nest would not have mattéred, but evi- dently intent on making the new home durable and solid, the magpie had used several pieces of wire which had been snipped off and left on the ground by repair men. One of the pieces of wire || was in contact with two wires of the || line, which naturally caused a short and stopped the service. Reserve quartermasters will | i ' THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
