Want Farm Loan
Associations
WASHINGTON, <&) — Rep.
Poage (D.-Tex.) introduced today
legislation to authorize the crea
tion of National Farm Loan Asso

ka.
The association would be organ
ized by the farmers themselves
and would make loans to other
farmers for the purchase of land,
k. The loans would be discounted by
the federal land bank.
Poage said that his proposal
“recognizes that Puerto Ricans arc
entitled to the same type of loans
that farmers can get in the con
tinental United States.
“This is a recognition that they
have developed enough economi
cally to make such loans reason
abyl safe.”

Army Seeks To
Bolster Enlisted
Reserve Strength
The department of army's mili
tary personnel procurement divi
sion has set aside the month of
March in an effort to bolster the
strength of the enlisted reserve
corps.
The enlisted rseerve corps and
the officer reserve corps together
; with the national guard and the
small peacetime regular army con
stitutes the bulwark of our Na
tion’s defense in time of national
emergency.
It is vitally important to the
Nation’s security that the reserve
be able to carry out its mission in
time of need. Civilian soldiers in
great numbers must be kept
abreast of ever-changing military
policies, weapons and techniques.
Reserve activities in the Alas
kan Theater come under the su
pervision of U. S. Army, Alaska,
| commanded by Maj. Gen. Stanley
: L. Scott.
I
A few concrete benefits which
accrue to the enlisted reservist
are: 1. He may enlist in the grade
held at the time of his separation
; from the army if he had active
1 federal service since September
16, 1940. Or if formerly in the en
listed reserve and discharged af
ter September 1, 1948, he may re
enlist in the grade held at the
time of discharge provided he
does so before June 30, 1949.
2. In addition to keeping his
j highest rank, he is free to gain
i promotion despite the fact that he
is a civilian 99 per cent of the
time.
3. He accumulates credits tow
ard retirement at age 60 years af
ter 20 years active participation.
4. He may, if he wishes, be se
lected to take advantage of 15 to
90 day tours of active duty in in
teresting. important jobs with full
pay and allowances. (This» feature
is one *b3l has particular appeal
to the Alaskan reservist due to
the severe winter season wh<m c0
many major businesses, trades and
industries are at a standstill).
5. He may obtain a commission
through application, direct op
pointment, OCS and many other
ways.
6. He is privileged to attend
service schools of his choice or to
take extension courses.
