RECRUITING DRIVE
DOUBLING OF TERRITORIAL ARMY
BIG NATIONAL EFFORT PLANNED. ACTIVE CAMPAIGN STARTED. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, April 1. A great impetus to recruiting is expected as a result of the recent decision to double the territorial army and local organistations all over the country are preparing every means at their disposal for a big national effort. All means of publicity are to be employed and from now on no prospective recruit will be turned away. As part of the recruiting drive, a demonstration of the achievement of voluntary efforts to make strong the country’s defences took place in Hyde Park yesterday. Fighter planes flew over the park in formation during daylight, and after dark single aircraft flew over v/hile searchlights on the ground tried to find them.
Every facility for inquiries about the various units was made available to the general public.
