NAVY VOLUNTEERS
MAY DELAY CALL
May Postpone Entrance In
to Service Until First
First Of Year

Potential volunteers for the
Navy in eastern North Carolina
who desire to postpone their being
called to active duty until after the
first of the year should not hest
tate to file applications immediate
", according to Jesse Helms
retty officer in charge of the Will
rcington Navy Recruiting Station.
Voluntary enlistments now are
teing accepted for three branches
of the Navy, Helms said. They
are the Navy Air Corps, for gener-
al service, and for the Waves.
women sho desire to enlist in
the Waves, but are waiting be-
cause they don't want to report
tor duty until January need have
no fear Of making application now.
No woman in the Waves who is
accepted this month will be called
before January 7th," Helms said.
Seventeen-year old boys who are
High school graduates, or who are
in their Senior year in school, now
are acceptable for the Navy Air
Corps, the recruiter said. Full In
formation and application papers
may be obtained at the recruiting
station, which is located on the
second floor of the post office.
There are also many good
places open in general service for
17-year-olds. For this branch, it
is not necessary that the youth be
a High school graduate. In this
phase, volunteers are eligible for
t1aining as aviation machinist
mates, or in any one of SIS differ
ent trades.
Women in the Waves are des-
perately needed--both for officer
and enlisted posts. Waves are
trained at Hunter college, in the
heart of New York City, and re-
ceive the same rate of pay and
privileges which are accorded
men in the service.
Age limits are 20 and 35, and
the recruiter emphasized that no
ealistments are being taken in any
feminine branch of the service at
lower age than 20. That was in
contradiction to recent rumors
that the Navy has lowered the en-
listment age of Waves to 10.
With reference to the Navy Air
Corps, the recruiter said that boys
row in their senior year of High
school should make application
now. They will not be called IN
III they have been graduated, and
atter that, they will be given eight
months of college before they be-
cir actual air corps training"
Helms said.

return from England quite a feel

over the prospect of the aerial Of

While suggesting that the Ger

defensive measures against the
bombers, Beall said the rocket
bomb equipment now in use has
cut the speed of German fighter
planes and made them more sus-

bombers and fighters
'The rocket guns fired f r o m
