Dear Mr. Lough: I Let me express my endorsement of ) the work which you and the members of your committee are doing in pro moting the campaign for interesting j young men in the many advantages offered them by the United States 1 Navy. ; This would be a commendable un idertaking at any time; in this hour ;of national crisis it is a great and ‘ patriotic service which you and your | fellow workers are performing. I have been particularly impressed iby the splendid training which the ’ Navy offers ambitious young men, ! who can “earn while learning” and i who may choose from a wide variety l of vocations. On behalf of the official family of the City of Donalsonville, 1 extend felicitations on your campaign, which I am sure will be greatly successful. Very truly, M. M. MINTER, Mayor.

Join er, Motor Vehicle Director, today sec onded the recent proclamation by Gov ernor Eugene Talmadge regarding th* ntional defense truck and bus inven i tory, and announced that 97,076 . questionnaire cards have been addres ; sed to truck and bus owners and will! i go in the mail on Thursday, Septem- ■ ! ber 25. “With 4 1-2 million trucks in this | country today compared with about l 1-2 million during the first World i War, the United States need not ex perience again a transportation para lysis like that of 1917,” the Commis sioner emphasized. “The truck and bus inventory will provide informa tion for Federal officials in planning! j improved highway transportation fa-1 i cilities for national defense.” The inventory offers an opportunity for truck and bus owners to make a contribution to the defense of the na tion, the Commissioner said. With complete returns from the survey, it i will be possible to make detailed re i cords of all available highway trans i portation facilities by regions and on I a central basis. With such records, the country can be organized to meet ' any transportation emergency. The 5 by 8 questionnaire card each truck and bus owner will receive spe cifically requests information regard ing the season of the year when he i most urgently needs the vehicle in his own business and wether in an, emergency he would be willing to hire 1 or lease the vehicle to a Government agency. All information on individual cards will be treated as confidential, and will be used only for defense pur poses. “The inventory' represents an im i portant act of national defense before a crisis,” the Commissioner emphasiz [ ed. “and is strikingly in contrast with I England’s truck and bus inventory which was forced upon her in the mid st of war.” i i New Pontiac The new 1942 Pontiac will be on ! display here Saturday according to !an announcement in this week’s News.

Assist Navy In Recruit Drive I At the suggestion of Secretary of i Navy Knox, Ellison Dunn of The Don -1 i alsonville News has been made Navy 1 ' Editor, to help the Navy in giving ambitious local young men informa ' tion about the ©opportunities the 1 ; “Two -Ocean Navy” offers them for technical training and advancement as 1 they serve their country in its emer ' igency. J I i According to an announcement ■ made public in Washington, a limited ’ | number of additional men between 1 the ages of 17 and 50 will be given a ? ■ chance, by enlistment in the Naval 5 i Reserve, to get to the top, with big 1 i pay, in jobs which by their aptitude 1 ■ and as a result of examination they ' show themselves fitted, from among nearly 50 different trades and voca -1 tions. These include such callings as ’ aviation machinist, dental technician, photographer, diesel engineer, radio technician, electrician, welder, store -1 keeper, and baker. Enlisted men may also qualify for commissions as of ficers. P Beginning this week, the Navy I plans for a limited time to accept new | qualified men for training. These men ' will be sent to one of four Naval I Training Stations and may have a ) chance to go to a Navy Trade School i even before assignment to the fleet. During this period they will be giveni regular Navy pay and the Navy’s free schooling is valued at hundreds of > dollars. ’ “Never in the history of the United * States has there been greater oppor ' tunity for loyal young Americans to serve their country and build their futures than right now,” said Secre- i tary Knox. 1 In outlining the many advantages 1 offered by enlistment in the United I States Navy, Mr. Dunn, Navy Editor! ’ i of The News said, “It is possible for, | a bright young man to increase his | : pay seven times during his first en-! i listment and he can earn as much as. ' $126 a month. This monthly figure is) I actually worth much more when it is remembered that the man has few living expenses and is provided with the finest of medical and dental care. “You have all your food and lodg- ! ing, and also your original outfit of ■ clothing provided by Uncle Sam free,”| Mr. Dunn continued. “In addition there are free sports and entertain ment —even to the latest Hollywood pictures. On top of this you get free : travel and adventure in colorful plac [eeas —a thing few civilians can afford. “When you consider the size of this j country and the fact that the Navy . will select only 15,000 applicants a , month from many times that number throughout the United States, the , I quotation, ‘Many are called but few are chosen,’ will apply to local menl interested. “Navy men are a “hand-picked’ lot. Candidates must be men of more than average intelligence and ambition, of fine moral character and must have the written recommendation of at least two local townspeople.” As Navy Editor, Mr. Dunn has just received from Washington a supply of ! free illustrated booklets for all men . interested and, in addition, will wel come inquiries from young men who wish to look into the new and greater , opportunities the Navy now offers for training for future civilian careers as they serve their country now in its emergency.
