The Senator said that any pa

ercise his free choice of service
rather than to let the Selective Ser
vice Act decide for him might we'll
pay close attention to the many
advantages't the Navy offers. There

man, mechanic. carpenter. cook, av-

He said the Navy recruit can de-

fact, the .-Senator. went on, the
Navy sis ready to give you train
ing that would cost as much as
81 500" in any of the better civilian

Any enlisted man who wants to,
the speaker said, may qualify as an
Aviation Cadet, undergo the most
flight training ever de-

Senator Tunnell remarked that the
Navy considers its enlisted men the

has done everything in its power
for their comfort and health, and
now even assists in taking care OF |
a mans dependents to ease the f.

lBx Associated Pressl

TALLAHASSEE, Dec. %. -
Those Floridians who have been
called into the country'S armed
services, and went away without
arranging to have their home
steads exempted from taxation,
will be permitted, beginning on
January 2, to have any American
Legionnaire apply for the exemp-
ton at the offices of the county

This ruling was voiced by Gov

this: that no Floridian who has
answered his country's call will be
required to pay taxes that would
