In nearly all of the larger towns and cities there have been organized CMTC Posts in order to continue the comradeship or instruc- tion of the camps. These Posts are in touch with m.embers of the MTCA and are given early information regarding camps. lf there is none in a neighborhood, young men should consult the County Chairman and be on the outlook for next yearis letter with its applica- tion blank.
