Already progress of the national
defense plans is being felt in Ash­

a year. His absence will be filled
by a member of the police de­
partment, Charles Snyder.
Danford, a headquarters com­
pany captain, reserve, will un­
dergo examination and. should he
be accepted, will stay for a year’s
training. Snyder, explained Chief
of Police C. P. Talent, will be
"loaned” to the light department
for the duration of Danford’s ab­
sence. Danford. of course, will be
assured of his job on completion
of his training period.
Absence of Snyder from the po­

is thought that Patrolman Parker
