Many Advantages In
q. S. Naval Service

AT the suggestion of Secretary of
Navy Knox, C. A. Biery of the
Bluffton News has been made Navy
Editor, to help the Navy in giving
ambitious local young men informa-
ton about the opportunities the
"Two-0cean" Navy offers them for
technical training and advancement
as they serve their country in its
emergency.
According to an announcement
made public in Washington, limit
ed number of additional men between
the ages of II and so will be given
a chance, by enlistment in the Navy
or Naval Reserve, to get to the top,
with big pay, in jobs which by their
aptitude and as a result of examina-
tion they show themselves fitted,
from among nearly 90 different
trades and vocations. These include
such callings as aviation machinist,
dental technician, photographer, dies
ell engineer, radio technician, electri-
clan, welder, storekeeper, and baker.
Enlisted men may also qualify for
commissions as officers.
Beginning this week, the Navy
plans for limited time to accept
new qualified men for training. These
men will be sent to one of four
Naval Training Stations and may
have a chance to go to a Navy
Trade School even before assignment
to the fleet. During this period they
will be given regular Navy pay and
the Navy's free schooling is valued
at hundreds of dollars.
"Never in the history of the Unit
ed States has there been greater op-
portunity for loyal young Americans
to serve their country and build
their futures than right now'', said
Secretary Knox.
In outlining the many advantages
offered by enlistment in the United
States Navy the editor said, at is
possible for a bright young man to
increase his pay seven times during
his first enlistment and he can earn
as much as $126 a month. This
monthly figure is actually worth
much more when it is remembered
that the man has few living ex-
penses and is provided with the fin
est of medical and dental care.
"You have all your food and lodg-
ing, and also your original outfit of
clothing provided by Uncle Sam free.
In addition there are free sports and
ntertainment-even to the latest
Hollywood pictures. On top of this
you get free travel and adventure
in colorful places-a thing few ci-
villains can afford.
"When you consider the size of
this country and the fact that the
Navy will select only $4,000 appli-
cants month from many times that
number throughout the United
States, the quotation, Many are
called but few are chosen, will ap-
ply to local young men interested.
"Navy men are 'hand-picked' lot.
Candidates must be men of more
than average intelligence and ambi-
ton, of fine moral character and
must have the written recommended
tion of at least two local towns
people,.
The Bluffton News has just re-
ceived from Washington supply of
free illustrated booklets for all men
interested and, in addition, will well
come inquiries from young men who
wish to look into the new and great
er opportunities the Navy now offers
for training. for future civilian ca
reers as they serve their country
now in its emergency.

DECISION ON LABOR
LAW MAY BE GIVEN
Supreme Court May Pass On
Constitutionality Of The
Wage-Hour Code

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-LR-The
supreme court may pass tomorrow
on the constitutionality of the wage
hour law which fixes minimum pay
and a maximum work week for EN-
ployes of interstate industries.
Litigation to test the validity Of
the far-reaching statute tops a list
of 20 cases on which decisions are
possible when the justices reco.vene
after a two-week recess.
The wage-hour law was challenged
by a Georgia lumber company and
by a group of southern textile mills
on the ground that production is a
local activity subject to control only
by the states.
The justice department contended
that the individual states had been
unable to cope with the problem of
"sub.standard" labor conditions and
the federal legislation was nece sary.
Other outstanding cases awaiting
final decision involve:
1. Whether officers of a labor
union are subject to trial under the
Sherman, antitrust law for a!les eddy

boycott in an effort to prevent An

a labor organization.
3. Validity of %injunctions restrain
