Running Single Handed

Since the illness of Miss Sine the editor of the News has been confronted with the. task of getting out the paper and handling the job printing of the office practically single hand ed. It is more than a one-man job and consequently the work has Jagged. However, MT. Jay Montgomery has agreed to lend hand to the work for a few weeks, and we hope to catch up with the work once more. Miss Sine is regaining her health satisfactorily, and will probably be able to join the force again in another month.

SKILLED MEN WANTED
 ID HELP BUILD SHIPS
Tom L. Rees, Enrolling Agent at Flagstaf-J. J. s. Button at Williams and MT. Dillon at Grand Canyon

At the request of Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the United States Shipping Board, the U. s. Public Service Reserve has esta blished a division called '"The United States Shipyard Volunteers of the Public Serv- ice Reserve" The intention is to enroll as many skilled men as possible in this division, to hold in reserve for use in build ing ships as fast as positions are open for them. It is hoped that the local enrolling agents in each county may succeed in securing the enrolment of a large number of skilled men who will continue whatever work they are doing at present until government position is open for them. Those desiring to enroll in this reserve should apply to Tom l.. Rees at Flag staff, J. s. Button at Williams, or MT. Dillon at Grand Canyon. Those who have enrolled or ex- pect to enroll in the U. S. Pub lie Service reserve may also en- roll in the United States ship yard Volunteers. All members will receive proper certificates and enrolment buttons.
 Notice of opportunity to work in the shipyards will be given through the Department of La bor. When such openings can not be filled from the ranks of unemployed, the most available men will be called from the Public Service Reserve. When men enroll in the Shipyard Vol unteers, they thereby empha- size their desire to work in this branch of public service.
 When a member of the U. $. Shipyard Volunteers is notified of an opportunity to work in the shipyards, he will be in formed as to wages, terms and conditions of transportation, and it will then be entirely vol untary with him whether or not he accepts the position. It is impossible to answer in ad- vance questions as to wages, transportation and conditions, as these vary with different jobs. But this information will always be given when a posi- tion is open and notice of the opening is given.
 Men enrolling i'm the Ship yard Volunteers should stick to their present positions until mo- tified by the Department of Labor that a position of greater service Is open elsewhere. By enrolling the men in the reserve now, the Department will be able to accomplish a much needed stabilization of labor and will know where to get | the men as needed. Many more men will be needed as more shipyards are completed and as numbers of vessels are brought nearer completion. i Both the Department of Labor and the United States Shipping Board feel that the enrolment of large reserve of skilled men for shipyard purposes will greatly expedite our success in the war. All skilled men who are capable of helping in any branch of shipbuilding-and that means all men trained in the use of tools-and who wish to serve their country in this way, should apply at once to one of the registering agents.
 Unskilled men are the bane of the shipyards and are not wanted. Men trained with tools and fired with patriotism can build ships and build.them fast.
