A. P. O. -c/o—Posfcmastei San -Dear Miss Coates: Last evening'I was talking with a nurse who had been ¿t Leonard' Wood in Mo. and she has given J me your address as she said you would be anxious for news of Col. j Vanderboget. He was my Com manding Officer before Dec. 24th and again after we were in the field. I wanted you to know that I saw him several times after he was injured, as I used to go to do what I could for him. There were -1 n’t so many things one could do but I did fix him up with a few things to have made him more comfortable and wish I might have done more. His head was still bandaged but he had been out of bed. Fortunately he still had his glasses, and I feel that he was getting along nicely and should have been all right as far as being able to help himself if he wasn’t called on to do any unusual amount of exercise. I only hope that my letter won’t distress you but will answer some of tho questions that must have come up. I feel that the Col. was most fortunate as the two officers who -Uphanv was chosen-chairman, Olh' or officers are: First vice-chairman Miss Doris Nesbitt Second vice-cha:rman- ■Mr ST-Mikh-od—Wh i tl a k 01 ’ Secretary— Lewis Black Tr< asuror—George L.

Tests will be applied at the Induction Station to determine the acceptability of illiterate registrants. The „ local board will not be required to make a determination as to that quali fication. “The number of men unable to_ read and write English in a fourth, grade standard who are accepted for induction on any day at any Induction Station will not exceed ten per cent, of the total number of men accepted on that date.'” General Brown stated the direc tive requires cooperative action on 4 he-part^of—Seleetive-Seryice—an the Second'Corps Area to make ar rangements to return to the In duction Station registrants prev iously rejected for illiteracy but who may now be acceptable.

(Continued on Page Eight) Forty Miles Is Speed Limit Now The 40 mile speed limit on New York State highways means just that— 40 miles an hour. That is made plain in an order issued to all commanding officers of the State Police by Superinten dent John A. Warner and made public by the W ar Transportation Committee which has emphasized, as part of its transportation con servation program, • the wasteful ness of high speed driving. Referring to a letter from Gov ernor Lehman which requested “a thorough enforcement of the law” by literal application of its 40 mile mandate, Superintendent War ner directed that \the strictest vigilance is to be used in absolute ly enforcing the 40-mile speed limit without variance or toler ance.’’ The State Police head stated that ‘,‘jf any motor vehicle exceeds this limit by so much as one mile an hour over^ihe—prescribed distance of a quarter of a mile, a summons should be issued or an arrest made.” He added: \You are hereby directed to di rect all members of your command fo enforce this 40-mile speed law with, redoubled vigilance day and night, and to instruct them to in terpret and apply this law literally. You are hereby directed to take aTI necessary steps to effectuate a thorough enforcement of the law. “A copy of this order is to be placed in the hands of every mem ber of your command.’’ The 40-mile speed limit law be-' came effective on \April 23 and according to Major Warner, the State .Police made' 1,364 arrests for speeding in May and 1,G45 ar rests for the same offense in June.
