Uncle Sam Opens Drive for New Recruits
In Anaheim; Gazette Office Headquarters
Even if you dive like a weather and swim like a rock,
it long as you are between the ages of 17 and 50 Uncle Sam is looking for you for his navy.
Beginning this week, the Navy plans for a limited time to accept new qualified men for training for its new "two-season" navy. These man will be sent to one of four naval training stations and may have a chance to go to a navy trade school even before assignment to the fleet.
Starting with this week's issue and continuing for the next four weeks the pages of the Gazette will reveal some of the reasons why Uncle Sam believes that he has an opportunity to offer to the young men of Anaheim.
According to an announcement made public in Washington, a limited number of additional men will be given a chance, by enlistment in the Navy or naval reserve, to get to the top, with big pay, in jobs which by their aptitude and as a result of examination they show themselves fitted, from among nearly 50 different trades and vocations. These include such callings as aviation machinist, dental technician, photographer, diesel engineer, radio technician, electrician, welder, storekeeper and baker. Enlisted men may also qualify for commissions as officers.
"Never in the history of the United States has there been greater opportunity for loyal young Americans to serve their country and build their futures than right now," Secretary of the Navy Knox said.
The Gazette has just received from Washington a supply of free illustrated booklets for all men interested and, in addition, will welcome inquiries from young men who wish to look into this opportunity.
