Volunteers For Navy
Should Not DeIoy
Filing Applications

Navy recruiting headquarters in Jack
son yesterday reported that although
the Mississippi quota for 17-year-old
voluntary enlistments had been extend
ed to meet the new, and perhaps, final
need for 1888 900 additional men, that
those youths contemplating Navy enlist
ment should not delay in calling at Navy
recruiting stations to file their applica-
tons.
1t was stated that back-logs or wait
ing lists were now being exhausted as
rapidly as limited quotas permitted and
that those 17-year-olds who called at
recruiting stations now would be the
first granted enlistments as the Navy
released more %lenient state quotas.
The possibility exists that the number
VI t7-year-olds allowed to enlist in Mis-.
sissippi during the next few month
would not be large in view of %announc
ments that the bulk of the additional
3s3.000 men needed in 1944 would enter
the Navy thru the Selective Service
System. +
