many parts of the world, and in addition
to their Shipboard duties as cadets, they
complete prescribed assignments for hand
ing in back at the academy.
A stiff competitive exam and rigorous
physical requirements, plus quota assigned
by States, make Kings Point a tougher
school to get into than most private uni
verSitieS and colleges. Candidates for
admission must apply to their Congress
man to be considered for one of the 10
nominations permitted to each Representa-
tive. From these a total of only 312 are
admitted each year
From reveille at O600 to taps at 1900,
cadets apply themselves to full schedule
of classroom work and regimental activity
as well as participating in sports, doing
homework and performing assigned chores,
like standing watches as aboard ship.
Though graduates on shipboard duty may
never have to practice all they learn, they
are instructed in the lore and knowledge
of the sea from sailing under canvas to
Semaphore signaling, from thermodynamicS
to reciprocating engines.
In their first seagoing jobs upon leav-
ing the academy, graduates sign on as third
officers either in the deck department or

qualifications as executive engineers as a
result of their training, follow their sea
assignments by later taking jobs on shore
as port officers and nautical engineers and
designers. All Kings Pointers graduate
with a B. S. degree their qualifications for
a Naval Reserve commission, and their
Merchant Marine officers license.
In its own words the mission of the
academy is:
ITO attract high type of young Amer
lean with definite ambition to become an
officer in the United States Merchant
Marine;
ITO impart the necessary academic
background and the fundamentals of a
practical nautical education essential to a
successful career at sea;
ITO develop -. high sense of honor,
uprightneSs, and loyalty;
ITO instill . pride in his profession
and a determination to uphold the tradi-
tionS of the Merchant Marine, and
by effective teaching, training, and
guidance. to send him forth to his calling
with a deep respect and affection for the

Inspection Shows
246 Rural Route
MailbOxes Defective

Inspection of mailboxes on Bluff
tons two rural routes last week dis
closed 246 defective mailboxes, post
master Ralph T. Stearns said. The
inspection was made by assistant
postmaster Dallas Berry.
Only 118 unsatisfactory boxes were
found on route 2, while there were
lac on route l. Route 2 has $50 box
holders while there are only 289 on
route l.
Biggest cause of trouble was uni
Identified boxes. Postal regulations re-
quire names in letters about one inch
high, but SO boxes on route and 48
boxes on route l had no names.
Eleven boxes were too high on
route 2 and 27 on route 1; route 1
had Is boxes needing paint and route
2 had 16 unpainted boxes. Unpainted
posts on route l totaled 46 and 40
unpainted posts exist on route 2. In
addition one box on route has a
broken clasp, another box has no
door.
Postal officials said mail carriers
cars are getting lower each year and
boxes which once were satisfactory
are now almost beyond reach of the
mail carriers. Frost in winter months
will also heave boxes out of the
ground causing them to be higher of
the ground than postal regulations
permit
Check sheets have been mailed tc
patrons on both rural routes where
mail boxes need attention, requesting
the defects be corrected.
