 GETS RESULTS

Some few days ago The Citizen published story about the great need for drop forgers at some of the United States government arse lals, and how the civil service was looking for applicants, and offering very high wages and large overtime pay Now comes the sequel. Soon after the publication a local machin ist came into the Fairbanks civil service headquarters and made full inquiry as to the duties of a drop forger to see II he could qualify. All of which would seem to indicate that Alaska may yet do her part in furnishing needed technical men for the government. and little pub licity in the right place often helps out considerably.
