NAVY RECRUITERS
WILL TOUR AREA
Four Will Visit Southeastern
North Carolina Seeking
Recruits For Service

Four recruiters from the Viii
mington Navy recruiting office
will tour Southeastern North Caro-
lima this week for the purpose OF
enlisting men in the United States
Navy, R. L. DeLoach, chief re-
cruiter, said Saturday.
General service is open to II.
year-old youths and to men over
SO who are not yet so. DeLoach
said the Navy has opened its so
odd trade schools to the young
volunteers, and recruiters will
make a special effort to explain
opportunities to them.
The trades now open are radio,
signals and communications,
boatswain, gunner, quartermaster,
electricians mate, engineman,
machinist, photographer, printer,
yeonan, storekeeper, pattermak-
er, molder, blacksmith and many
others.
The pay at enlistment is $50
per month with $133 worth of
free clothing, free board and lodg-
ing. The trades learned will not
only help the man in the Naval
service, DeLoach said, but will be
of great help to him when he re-
turns to civilian life.
DeLoach further said that re-
cruiters in the field will have
full information about the Waves
and Spars. Those interested should
contact recruiters nearest their
respective towns. The need for
women in the Naval and Coast
Guard service is so great that
promotions now are made faster
than ever before.
Men can now be enlisted in the
Navy's Seabees regiment, he said.
They must be in the 18 to 38 year
old age bracket. The Navy guar
antees each applicant that he will
follow his chosen trade in the con-
struction battalion. Men are en-
listed with petty officer rating
in the Seabees, and after 30-day
indoctrination period, are assigned
to some Naval base on a con-
struction project.
Navy recruiters can be located
in the following towns on these
dates.
Recruiter DeLoach: Whiteville
April 12 and 10; Tabor City April
IA, Bladenboro, April IS; Eliza
bethtown, April 16 and II.
