PAGE FOUR Army Band Renders Several Selections At Reception For Men Leaving For Camp Sunday PY There were many sad _ hearts among the throng of local dents, especially the mothers, fa- thers, wives and sweethearts of the large group of men who left here yesterday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock ;qboard two of the Florida , Motor’ Lines buses from in ‘front tafi the !postoffice building en route to Camp Blanding, where they fwill undergo physical examina- ‘tions as to their fitness for service in the United States’ armed forces. There were two or three hundred persons who had gathered there to bid the boys farewell. The contingent was made up of 67 men whose names were pub- lished in The Citizen on Saturday. Prior to the arrival of the buses on the scene, Rev. William E. Bryant, chairman of the local Selective Service Board, gave a short talk to those assembled, ex- Plaining the reason why the first date set for their departure was changed to yesterday was due to the fact that the board felt tha: it was no more than right to allow the men to remain here for the Christmas holidays among their relatives and friends. The Army band was present and/ rendered several selections while} the men were awaiting the arrival) of the buses, which added wan- derfully to the reception accorded the men who were about to start the trip en route to the camp as designated by the Selective Serv- ice Board. Among the officials in attend-| ance at the reception accorded the} boys were Mayor Willard M. Al- bury. City Councilmen Paul G. Albury and Leonard B. Grillon, Sheriff Berlin A. Sawyer, County Judge Raymond R. Lord, Police Justice W. P. Archer and others, besides the members of the Selec- tive Service Board. Traffic Officer Ray Atwell, as- sisting Chairman Bryant of the Selective Board, in lining up the contingent, called the roll from the doorway of the buses, and as each man answered to his name, he boarded the bus amid cheers from his friends, with Officer At- well greeting them with a smile in a friendly spirit. Just prior to the buses pulling off, Paul G. Albury, chairman of the Defense Council Committee. in behalf of the organization which he represented, gave a short talk expressing his feeling resi- i i SOCIE.

He, also stated that in future the band will be in attend- ance with other features to be added to the receptions to be tendered groups who may be called to serve their country. He also spoke of some small token of appreciation that had been given each member of the group just be- fore departing. The donations received in mak- ing up the package that was pre- sented the boys were obtained through the efforts of a commit- tee, headed by Paul G. Albury as chairman of the Recreation De- fense council, in cooperation with the Knights of Pythias and the Pythian Sisters. The services of the band were furnished through the courtesy of Col. Ellsworth Young, commanding officer Army Barracks, and Chairman Albury wishes to thank all for the con- tributions made to the cause.

Stone,.Mr. Brown, Samuel B. Pinder, Sr., Samuel B. Pinder, Jr., Chas. R. Roberts, Joe Johnson, Harold Pinder and A. S. Cohn. As the buses pulled out a rous- ing cheer, with raised hands, was given the boys who were. on their way to the state camp where their status will be determined by the examining board which presides as to the fitness of the men for military service, with other pre- liminary activities carried on preparatory to induction into Uncle Sam’s armed forces. SUN USED TO HEAT “NEW WAR OFFICES “By Associated Prens) WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.— When fuel conservation emerged as a major problem, Uncle Sam harnessed the rays of the sun to help heat the enormous War Department building at Arling- ton, Va. Light sensitive devices install- ed on the roof by engineers re- act to the intensity of the sun and in turn control the building’s heating system. Thus, if one section is flooded with brilliant sunshine the temperature in that section is automatically reduced to compensate for the warmth- giving rays, D.C] + 3 ee man, 21, both of West Palm Beach. : Mr. Ingraham and Miss Pratt were married by Justice of the Peace Enrique Esquinaldo, Jr. RETURNS TO ATLANTA Licut.
