Insomuch as the plans for the halt

made days before the trains bringing,
these recruits arrived, extra hours
were tin* rule in the personnel office
tor ten days or so prior to that event.
'Hie hours lengthened when tin* trains
began to pour in. for some of them
came as early as f> a m and others
late as 1 "" a in . and none of their
recruits was forced to wait very long

The cards representing each train
load of men were distributed into the
proper files in tii** personnel office
before* the next train arrived, which
sometimes was as little as hall an
hour after the preceding om*. When
tile cards all had been distributed,
lists were made showing the* number
of men of each vocational training;

in tin* entire* draft, and. by comparison
with tin* standard tables of organ

This is part of the present plan toj
put each man in the post w here he I

perience gained in civil life in army
activities.
All sorts of requests for specially
trained men. outside seventy or more
specific classes needed regularly, came
to the personnel office. Two regi
ment- wanted electrical and mechan
leal engineers Several wanted gun
smiths. One wanted a number of
trained tractor operators. The vol
unteer players, who present free en
tertainment for the soldiers, asked
to In* put in touch with actors, scenic
artists, electricians, propertv men and
stage carpenters Virtually every re
quest was filled
'fhe cards showed that draft men
had all sorts of occupations, from
graduate dentist to blacksmith To1
aid in classifying them, each card was
provided with a tab A green tub
signified an expert, a red one a skilled
but not expert worker, and so on A :
definite statement of each man’s child'
occupation is placed on each card. A
typical one was: "All around work
on farm; can handle team of six
horses; experienced in handling and j
repairing farm machinery, gas and
steam tractors'* That man was das
sided as expert driver and qualified
operator of tractors.
