Navy Does Not Demand High Education Since Secretary Knox announced the enlistment drive for Uncle Sam’s new Two-Ocean Navy, many young men have asked if they were eligible to enlist without a high school education. Commander Mike Josephson of the Shaw Post No. 38 of the A merican Legion Post answers this important question for the young men of this section. “Navy enlistees do not have to be high school graduates,” said Commander Josephson. “Any am bitious and patriotic young fellow who wants to serve his country has that opportunity now by joining the United States Navy or Naval Reserve. Of course, he must be of average intelligence, good char acter and be able to pass certain physical and mental examinations. Now, more than ever before, the Navy needs men of that type. “All applicants, whether or not they have high schol diplomas, are given an elementary examination containing about 100 questions,” ex plained Commander Josephson. “Those receiving a grade of 50 per cent or more satisfy Navy educa tional standards. “Naturally, a high school educa tion is helpful in the Navy, just, as it is in civilian life”, points out Thomas L. Martin, principal of Roanoke Rapids High School. “There are certain advantages for the high school graduate in the Navy,” said Martin. “He has a wider background to call upon in earning advancement in posi tion and pay. For example, men who are proficient in English may be sent to one of the Navy’s com munications or clerical schools. Re cruits with a knowledge or apti tude for handling tools might be marked for a trade or engineering course. Men with college educa tions may qualify for midship man’s training course in the Naval Reserve and after their schooling period they will report for active duty as officers with the rating of ensigns. “The Navy has four excellent trade schools to which new recruits in either the regular Navy or the Naval Reserve may be sent after a training period, providing they pass entrance examinations with sufficiently high grades. At these schools they will be trained in any one of nearly fifty skilled trades or vocations to which their aptitudes suit them and will re ceive free schooling valued at hun dreds of dollars in addition to their regular Navy pay. Such an educa tion is valuable for advancement in the Navy and in later civilian life,” he concluded. Julian Glover is spending a few days in sLouisburg as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mitchell. Mr. and Mrs. N. C. Christensen and Mrs. George Barrett of Nor folk, Va., were Sunday guests-of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Fanney on Jefferson St. CONSIDER SPEAKERS OF FORUM Dr. Ralph DcDonald of the U niversity of North Carolina met here last Friday with a group of committee members of the N. C. E. A. considering a program of forum speakers to be held after Christmas. Meeting with Dr. DcDonald were Superintendent C. W. Davis, Na than Reynolds, president of the local N. C. E. A. unit, Misses Mar tha Craddock, Sara Cannon, Sue Elizabeth Smith, Ethel Knott, and Katherine Reid of the Profession al Relations Committee; and Max ine Garner and Nancy Sperling of the Public Relations Committee. No definite plans about the Fo rums will be made, decided the group until representatives of va rious civic clubs in town can ex press their preferences as to speakers. E. E. Edwards of Rocky Mount was a business visitor in town several days this week. Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Harper spent Sunday with their daughter in Rocky Mount. Dick Lee of Camp Lee spent the week end here with his pa rents. NOTICE NOTICE OF RE-SALE OF REAL ESTATE NORTH CAROLINA, HALIFAX COUNTY. In the Superior Court, Before the Clerk.
