FITNESS TO BE CHECKED

First Military Training Batch

Medical boarding of young men called in the ballot for compulsory military training would start at 7 p.m. on Monday, said the District Superintendent o f the Department of Labour (Mr C. P. Collins) yesterday. The first batch would comprise about 24 men, A team of four doctors, he said, should put the men through their medical examinations at the King Edward Barracks by about 9 p.m. Before the examination, the men would be X-rayed at the Chest Clinic and examined by an optician. Mr Collins said the reports would be collated and submitted to the regional medical officer, Dr. C. T. Hand Newton, for his confirmation. Men found fit, he said, would be served with enlistment notices. From that date on, they would technically be members of the army. Call-up papers would be served when the men were selected to go to camp. He said the first of three camps would be in May. One would be in September and one in January, 1965. About 800 young men would be examined.
