Sailors Letter Gives
Unusual Viewpoint
On National Problem

A letter written by a sailor In
the United States Navy TO his
father. who contemplated going out
on strike with the railroads. was
published In a recent issue of the
Denver Post. and because its pages
contain food for thought on a vital
national problem. the Letter was
sent on TO Coolidge friend.
1t was written by r. b. Fletcher.
7th Division. US. S. Denebola. U.
S. n. Excerpts from the letter fol-
lows:
Dear Dad,
Your statements regarding the
railroad strike caused a mixed
feeling on my part | hope you
know what you are doing.
l am in a military organization
and we don't go on strike. How
would the general public feel if, at
at a time like this, the Navy did
go on abandoned their
ships, and went ahore. All coastal
waters and those surrounding our
possessions would be open for
enemy occupation.
You recall the last strike in
Brookfield (Missouri)-how much
poverty ii caused, how people went
broke, lost their homes and moved
away For years. Brookfield was
on the down grade.
You have job to do now. and
should do it-even if you would
like to have more money. | too,
would like to have more money.
You are working for a railroad,
the railroads are necessary to ma
tional defense. The navy is neces-
sary to national defense. You
would really put up squawk if
the navy quit you at this time. One
is dependent on the other. The
/. ships must go TO sea, the railroads
must roll.
AZ ALlS CSPCNAdils =
no room for the individual who
| seeks to increase his waistline and
bank account at the expense of
thousands ofearnest. hard working,
God fearing Though gullible) men.
Ii would be too bad if you went out
on a strike, lost the strike and
Just when you would have been
eligible for a pension, find yourself
a man without a job, your best
friend in the person of a busted
union leader. What could he do
for you then? You guess, l don't
| have to.
Think it over Meanwhile, stick
by your guns, and when you cast
your vote, cast a vote to GUST your
| trouble makers, and keep on pro-
ducing. Production is what we
| need.

More Camp Pay
For CCC Enrolees
Is Announced

According to an announcement
received by Pinal County Board OF
Social Security and Welfare this
week young men who wish to en-
roll in the Civilian Conservation
Corps will now receive more OF
their salaries in camps.
Under the new plan as outlined
by the State Supervisor of Selec,
ton. all enrolees are to receive
$1,000 per month in cash.
Those with definite dependents
are expected to send $1,000 per
month home as an allotment to
their dependents. The remaining
$500 OF their $4,000 per month
pay is deposited for them as a
savings, and it is given to them
in lump sum when they leave the
C.C.C.
Men without dependents are also
accepted, and for them $500 per
month is deposited and paid to
them when they finish their en-
rollment terms of six months.
Floyd G.. Brown, local selecting
agent. reports that deposits are
Usually very useful when received
after six months or year in camp
"Many men," said Mr.. Brown
save enough money this way tc
finance themselves in small bust
ness or ranching venture, and hun
dreds have been able to go on tc
college. Allotments to their de
pendent families at home are
wonderful help too. In many cases
even these partial C.C.C. checks
provide an education for younger
brothers and sisters at home"
Applications for enrolment in
forestry camps, soil conservation
and sveral other camps are re
ceived regularly in the county
headquarters office and by the
Pinal County field representatives
who conduct interviews in all OF
the larger towns in the county
