Navy Enlistments
Set New Record

More men enlisted in the United
States Navy through Michigan recruit.
ing stations during July than in any
other month since America entered the
war
This was announced today by Lieut.
Byron K. Flechtner officer in charge
Of Navy recruiting for this area.
Total July Navy enlistments for the
state were more than those of April
and May, combined, and exceeded
those Of the previous record month,
January, Lieut.. Flechtner said. They
represent an increase Of approximate
ly 80 per cent over June enlistments.
In making the announcement, Lieut..
Flechtner extended his congratula-
tons to recruiters who man Michigan's
Navy recruiting stations and his
thanks TO Michigan newspapers for
their cooperation in publicizing the
Navy.
Despite our fine enlistment record
during July" said Lieut. FIechtner,
we need additional thousands of men.
Unlimited quotas still exist for enlist
ment Of men from IL to so years old,
inclusive, in virtually all branches OF
the Navy.
Men with experience in most Of the
40 trades and vacations Of the Navy
may qualify for petty officer ratings
paying as high as $126 per month as
soon as they enlist. Opportunities ex-
Isl for men without experience to re-
ceive training in which ever Of these
trades and vacations they are most
| fitted to perform.
We hope to exceed our July enlist.
ments during August and we feel that
with continued help which the Navy
has been receiving from Michiean
| ewspapers, radio stations, civic, Labor
and fraternal groups, we will be able
70 do so and set a new record during
August"
Lieut.. F1echtner said that men who
nave received their la classified ton
and notice to report for induction still
may enlist in the Navy. He advised
such men, however, to visit their near
est Navy recruiting station as soon a
possible before the date on which they
are scheduled to report for induction
In order to give selective service
boards sufficient advance notice.
he pointed out that a visit To n
Navy recruiting station puts no man
under obligation to enlist.

area Is at room 343, Federal building.

TIN CAN
COLLECTION SET
FOR AUGUST IS.

Reasons why the tin can salvage
program will be confined 10 the De-
trOit metrOpOlitarS area including GER
tain designated cities were outlined
today in letter from Leasing j. Ro-
Senwald. chief of the conservation di-
vision. War Production Board, 70 <.
j. Anderson, chairman of the Wayne
county salvage committee.
Our existing defining plants,
when fully expanded, will detin. be-
tween 2J0.OOO and $4,000 tons OF cans
annually" Mr.. RoSenwald wrote, Con
templabtd new plants will add about
24O.OOO tons capacity. Thus, on the
basis Of one gross ton of 'prepa red
tin cans from each 1000 population
per month, our total defining capa-
city can absorb for the present the
cans from only 47.2JO,OOO popula ton.
Therefore. it is planned to concentrate
first on 81 SelecDtd metropolitan areas
containing an adequate source Of sup
plies.
These 32 selected areas-and De
troit is one-afford important facln-
ties which reduce costs and expedite
results: Short collection routes, well
equipped collection departments, &C
ceSsible railroad yards, frequent car
load shipments.
1t is much easier to concentrate
educational publicity plus volunteer
organization for a sustained commun
ity effort in a few urban areas than
in many scattered cities and towns
I'VE believe that the people Of me
trOpOlitan Detroit, and especially its
women, are ready and eageer to fol-
Low such simple instructions as are
required TO assure proper preparation
OF the tin cans Because of the MUM
cial collection Of tin cans may exceed
the receipts from their sale, we have
asked municipal governments to COOP
crate on the basis Of thus contributing
a highly important service toward our
national war effort"
The first collection date in this city
will be on August 10, it has been an
nOunced. Housewives should have
their prepared tin cans ready at the
curb on that day. Collections theresf-
ter win be made at 80 day intervals

Edward j. MCGEE, chairman of the

avoid the possibility of diSappoint-

Put-in-Bay for the cruise, and no pass
