Mr. Coady. working under the apon-1 worship of the Federal Security i Agency went into detail regarding the plan advocated In this community. | The plan or organization provides for a community recreation committee; working under the county defense, council in every town and village in J the maneuver area. Thuft far, 15 com- j inunUy organizations have been set ^ up in York, Chester.

Not only are trained recreational porkers being furnished to assist | local community workers, but. the, WPA is having tables, benches, ping-' pong tables, and other game equipment constructed. The United Service Organizations will cooperate later wherever supplementary service is required. It Is the policy of the Federal Security Agency, however, to encourage- each local community to approach its maneuver problems in accordance with local desires and to the extent each Is ablo to provide for the soldiers who will be guests in the communities. Where local resources are inadequate, the W. 1'. A., U. S. O., and other organ Nations are giving aid. This week the F. S.

Over 300,000 Men Moving Into the Carolina War Zone (Continued from first page) In addition, there will be various anti-aircraft and other Corps and Army troops, Including the Air Support Command and elements of the Armored Force. Also Included will be those units which will supply the men in the field with all the facilities enjoyed by a large city. During the last year, or such parts of it as these troops have been in service, their training has progressed steadily. First came the basic training of individuals in the use of weapons ai^d equipment. In some cases this was received In replacement centers, but for the greuter part it was given to the men In their own units In conjunction with the second training phase, small unit training of squads, 'platoons and companies. After that, came, the training of buttalions and I regiments of the same arm, which was followed by combined training In which combat teams of Infantry, Artillery, Engineer. Medical and Quartermaster unlfs were taught the importance of joint and co-operative action. Still other* exercises saw Infantry teams operating with other combat arms such as Observation Aviation. Cavalry, Anti-Tank and AntiAircraft units. While these basic training efforts are fundamental and will require further review, It is essential to Impart to the troops a sound picture of the functions and operations of the larger units in order to Insure that the small units and the various arms will operate effectively as a larger coordinated combat team. By September 30, all Divisions and their supporting units will have had this combined training, while in the meantime various Quartermaster, Medical, Engineer and other special units will have learned the duties they are expected to perform with the Army Corps and Army in the field. During all of this period of advanced instructions, the basic and unit training has been reviewed and applied. ^Ptre spirit of competition and friendly rivalry between individuals and units has played a largo par' in all this preparatory effort. General Drum firmly believes that the cotn-j peiitive spirit is as much an aid in' military training as it is in education j and sports, and early in the year he' directed that special recognition and citations he given, both to individuals | and units, for excellence in various training phases. As the country's football teams point for the season's important con-! tests, so. now. does the First Army make ready for Its big games in which teams of Army Corps and Field Army j will compete against each other. They! will he games which will require! huge playing fields for the 300,000 First Army men who will participate, and they aro probably the only games in which the spectators?umpires, observers and correspondents?will be greajly outnumbered by the players.
