that, owing to a typing error, a mistake occurred in the notice which stated that applicants would have to undergo medical examination with charge. The correct reading was

May I trespass on your courtesy to bring to the notice of the public that volunteers will not be required to meet

any expenses, either for medical examination or for equip- ment. The very limited response so far to the appeal may be due to misunderstanding on this point. TH: KING.
