Can’t Resist Posters.
Louisville, .Ky.—Cant. John S.
•Bromley admits he never could
resist a recruiting (poster. At 17,
he saw a poster urging him to
“Join the Navy.” He did, after
four vears with the Navy and Ma

The next vear, he joined the Air
Force, ending his hitch in Japan
in 1949 Before being discharged,-
however, Bromley saw another
■poster, which urged, “Join the
Army.” His transfer was ararng
