Wornen's Reserve Enlistments To Be Lowered

Word has just been received by the Seattle District Office of the Uni ed States Marine Corps that the Marine Corps Women's Re serve expected to reach its au, thorized strength by the first of June After that time only a very small number of women will be accepted each month as re- placements in order to main ain the full strength of the Women's Reserve. Thus, the Marine Corps again scores another first in its long line of initial accompl Sh- ments, being the frs of the arm ed services to reach the desired strength of their women's branch.
 According to Captain Fred F Chitty in charge of the Seattle Procurement District, limited quota has been set for Seattle District for the current and final month.
 "We think it only fair" he said, ito advise all young women in this area who have been con- sidering entering the Marine Corps not to delay longer or the privilege may be denied them"
 "All opportunities for advance ment and training are the same as in the past. All officers in the Marine Corps Women'S Reserve are promoted from the ranks. Girls between the ages of 20 and 36, in good physical condition, with equivalent of two years of high school or business college training, and no children under Is years of age are acceptable.
 Many occupations do not re- quire releases, however, any girl, regardless of where she is work ing, who is not employed at her maximum skill or who can be readily replaced, may obtain release from the United States Employment Office"
 Since several days are usually required 10 effect an enlistment or secure the proper release, it

Warning Notices Sent To Dealers

Increased enforcement activity is reported by Mildred R. Her mann, Director of the Office of Price Admins slration, in an- nouncing that several license warning notices have been sent recently 70 Alaskan retailers in various towns in Alaska. These notices call the attention of re- tailers to their violations of price regulations, orders, or schedules of the Office of Price Admins tration and warn them that un- less violations cease, licenses to operate may be revoked or in- junction proceedings taken against the offenders.
 Eigh cen merchants in Nome, Sitka, Anchorage, Copper Center, Chestachina, Juneau and Ketchi- kan have been sent notices this last month.
 All merchants making sales of commodities controlled by price regulations were automatically granted licenses under Licensing Order No. 1. The OPA further states that if a retailer continues to violate price regulations after receipt of a License Warning No tice, his license to sell commodi- ties and services may be suspend ed for the maximum period of 12 by court proceeding in ac- cordance with the Emergency Price Control Act of 1922.
