Admiral Jacobs And 9th
ers Will Speak At Din
ner In Raleigh

Carolina, consistently the south's
leader in volunteers for the Navy
Waves, has been selected as the
set-otf state in nationwide cam
palgn to meet the Navy's quota
OF $4,000 women by the end of
1914.
Rear Admiral Randall Jacobs,
Chief of the Nays Bureau of
Naval Personnel, Washington, will
come to Raleigh to officially open
the campaign at a mammoth ban
quet Friday night. More than 300
high ranking Naval officers from
Washington and the Sixth Naval
District, and prominent North
Carolinians will attend the dinner.
Representing the Waves at this
kickoff dinner will be Lieutenant
Commander Joy Bright Hancock,
top ranking Wave in the Bureau
an author of note on aviation, in
Which she became interested while
serving as a yeoman in the Navy
during the first world war at the
Cape May, N. j., Naval Air
Station.
Josephus Daniels, secretary of
the Navy during World war I, will
serve as master of ceremonies at
the banquet to be held at the Sir
Walter hotel in Raleigh Friday
night.
Governor J. Melville Broughton.
OF North Carolina, will speak on
behalf of the citizens of North
Carolina, pledgirig the cooperation
of North Carolinians in helping the
Navy go lover the top in it's cam
paign to recruit Waves to help the
Navy in the vital invasion months
into which the country is entering.

mander Hancock will be broadcast
over four radio stations of the
state.

Navy officials here, who point
recent announcements that 10000
landing craft, to be used in the
Pacific theatres, will be completed
and manned by the end of this
year.
THAT 1t. Lodwick Hartley, Of
ficer in charge of the Raleigh
Naval Officer Procurement office,
said, should emphasize the ever
growing need for even more
Waves than have been procured
in recent months.
North Carolina women" the Of
ficer continued, have responded
admirably to the call for volu-
teers. Those women are now serv.
ing as officers and in other i'm
portant positions in the nation S
war effort. Since North Carolina
has consistently led the South, the
Navy department was happy to
give Tar Heel women the oppor-
tunity. to pace the rest of the
nation. -
A two-week campaign to ascer-
tain the number of women avail
able and interested in the Waves
will get underway with the ban
quet, and the cooperation of the
States newspapers and radio faci-
lities has been solicited.
Billets in almost every branch
of the Navy are open to volunteers
for the Waves, and every Wave
recruit is given an opportunity to
express her preferred type of SER

westward.
