Increase In Navy
Pay Attracts More
Men Into Service
Monthly Salary Jumped from
S21 to $50 a Month with
Expenses Paid
Raleigh?The new pay raise for
Navy men, which boosts apprentice
seaman pay from (31 to (60 per
month, is expected to greatly in
crease Navy enlistments in North
Carolina.
Lt C. B. Neely, officer-in-charge
of Navy recruiting in North Caro
lina, said that Navy recruiting sta
tions at Raleigh, Asheville, Char
lotte, Salisbury, Greensboro, New
Bern and Wilmington are preparing
for a rush of men who want to take
advantage of the new pay raise.
"The Navy never has offered such
a wide variety of opportunities," as
sartad Lieutenant Mealy, "and now
the pay of apprentice seamen has
been more than doubled and other
pay grades increased accordingly. A
man who enlists now as apprentice
seaman clears (50 a month, because
his food, clothing, medical and dental
care are provided. Negroes who en
list as mess attendants or apprentice
seamen also receive the benefits of
the pay increase."
"Many Tar Heels have been en
listed in the Seabees ? Navy con
struction corps ? as seamen second
class and seamen first class," the
Navy recruiting officer pointed out.
"The pay of a seaman second has
jumped from (36 to (45 a month,
while seaman first pay has increas
ed from (54 to (66."
All petty officers have received
substantial pay increases. Third class
petty officer pay has risen from (60
to (78 per month, second class from
$72 to (96 and first class from (84
to (114. A chief petty officer (act
ing appointment) now receives (126
per month instead of $99. These are
the first changes in the Navy pay
status since 1922.
"After three years service, a blue
jacket receives a five per cent in
crease in his pay," said Lieutenant
Neely. "Young, alert North Caro
linians now can join the naval serv
ice with more pay than has ever
been given American seamen in the
history of the Navy. The Navy is
expanding rapidly, promotions are
coming fast and men have their
choice of a host of valuable trades
or vocations."

HINTS FOR
HOMEMAKERS

CITRUS FRUITS
One of the things we can be grate
ful for is the fact that citrus fruits
are grown so plentifully in qj^own
ivlroab
United States. These invamable
sources of vitamin C may be brought
to our tables without the use of prec
ious shipping which is vitally need
ed for other serious purposes.
The tire and gasoline restrictions
mean that we must plan carefully
our marketing lists because our trips
to market will necessarily be less
frequent. This means, too, larger
quantity purchases. This may be
something of a problem with highly
perishable foods. but fortunately
means no change in home use of
most staples. Citrus fruits come un
der this heading, for they are senu
pei is liable Oi.mgi1;.,?li'tntms?rmrt
grapefruit may bo stored in any cool,
dry place and will keep for two
weeks or more. There are often sav
ings in large quantity purchases,
too.
Fruit to be used immediately
should be put in the fruit drawer of
the refrigerator For well chilled
beverages, it is a good idea to place
the fruit to be used in the refrigera
tor a day ahead so that the beverages
will not be diluted with melting ice
in order to be chilled
That glass of orange juice for
breakfast is an excellent idea, but
there are many other ways to in
clude oranges in the diet The abun
dant golden juice or easy to slice
sections are ideal used in salads, des
erts, appetizers and beverages
Oranges are first, a foremost source
of vitamin C, and also, good sources
of vitamins A. B and fair source of
vitamin Cl These are especially un
pol tant now, when Americans must
be healthy and alert. Oranges are
an abundant source of natural en
ergizing fruit sugars. The recipes fol
lowing are filled with healthful
goodness and require no sugar.
