The Post Office Department has designated a suitable cachet for each one oC these places most of which bear a sketch ot a familiar local scene or historic landmark.

Local postmasters have been sup plied with their individual cachets which will be affixed to all air mail that is dispatched from those points by Air Pick-up on the opening day of the service. The communities to which cachets have been issued are: Pitcairn, Van-dcrgrift, Indiana, Punxsutawncy, Philipsburg. State College, Bellc-fonte, Lock Haven and Jersey Shore. Cachets were not authorized for Clearfield. DuBois and Williams port because these towns previous' ly had regular air mail service.

A notice about the catfhets has been sent by the Post OXJct; l)e-partment to thousands of philate. lints throughout the world, and air mail for dispatch on the inaugural flights has been accumulated rapidly at all of the Poet Offices along the new route where they have been authorized. The air mail covers bearing the cachets will be a permanent sou venir of the flrst regular air mail flight from the town where they are dispatched. These cachets are highly prized by stamp collectors for their historic value. In addition to the philatelists, local civic and trade organizations, schools, and in dividuals in many places are plan ning to send out first-flight letters to advertise the establishment of direct air mail service in their communities as well as to have a memento of the event.

Although the Akron Arm is now working directly behind the grading crew of the Ralph Myers Construction Company of Salem, Indiana, contractors in charge of the project, the paving cannot be completed until spring due to two large fills made in the new road. The flits, each approximately 1600 feet in length and HO teat high eliminate a winding brick hill on the road where several truckers have met death when their vehicles Jack-knifed and skidded through the guard fence.

Paving over the earth fills cannot be placed until after the spring thaw. The Myers construction Arm has a crew of approximately 75 men at work on the grading and relocation of the road, while an additional 60 men are employed on tha paving crew or me annuo company.

The state's first contingent of 770, made up mostly ot volunteers who supersede draftees, will leave for Port George Meade, and a year's training next Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. The first thing that happens to them iu camp is "classification," in which past occupations and apti tudes are considered. They may be assigned to a clerical post, mechanical job or preparing the camp's food, one recruiting officer pointed out. It may be some time or never that a rifle is handed to the con script, this officer suggested. And if he does get a gun it may be an automatic or a machine gun, not a shoulder rifle.

Once inducted at one of the state's five stations, at Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Altoona and Wilkes-Biu-re, the prospective sold ier will leave in a special car at tached to regular trains, for Fort Meade, where he is to be received. As little luggage t.x possible should be taken along maybe some towels, some underwear and toilet articles because space may not bo plentiful. After classification, the draftee will get his uniform, be put through drill run tine to got the kinks out and rid him of that extra left foot, and im-uliMte him with discipline and team work.
