Page Four Coast Guard Is Again Taking Applications Waiting List Is Expect ed to Be Exhausted In Two Months For the first time since last March the U. S. Coast Guard is accepting applications from young men for en listment, recruiting officials have an nounced. Enlistments were closed in March when *the Coast Guard reached its au thorized strength, but now because of increasing monthly quotas, applicants from all over the Fifth Coast Guard District (Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina) are being sought. Boatswain Carl K. Scarborough, USCG, the Fifth District’s recruiting officer in Norfolk, Va., said that wait ing lists of recruit applicants, com piled during the quota-less summer months, will probably be exhausted in about two months and wants new men to get on the lists now. To qualify for a Coast Guard 4- year enlistment, applicants must be between the ages of 17 and 25, in good health and pass the Armed Forces Qualification Test. After being signed up, recruits are sent to the Coast Guard Receiving Center at Cape May, N. J., where they go through 13 weeks of inten sive boot training. They are assigned to Coast Guard cutters, shore stations or service schools upon graduation from Cape May. Boatswain Scarborough also said that Coast Guard Organized Reserve units, which meet one night a week at Baltimore, Md.; and Morehead City and Wilmington, N. C., are looking for new recruits and ex-servicemen. Men wanted for the units must be between 17 and 18 or over 26 with prior military service. The enlistment period is for three years. Boatswain Scarborough stated that many rates are open in both the reg ulars and reserve for ex-servicemen. Coast Guard recruiting stations are located in the Veterans Administra tion building, Durham, N. C., Room 204, Custom House building, Wilming ton, N. C., and in Room 425-C, Post Office building, Norfolk, Va.

They were pedestrians killed in motor ve hicle accidents. “Accident Facts,” the National Safety Council’s statistical yearbook, points out that pedestrian deaths were highest among city dwellers in 1952, with 5,450 killed in urban areas and 3,150 in rural. In 3,000 of the fatal pedestrian ac cidents, the victims were 65 years or older, according to the 1953 edition of the yearbook. Os all pedestrians killed, one in every 12 had a physical defect, such as defective hearing, defective eye sight, or illness. It is surprising how many Republi i can Senators had solutions for end i ing the Korean War once the Com- I munists indicated renewed interest in I a truce. THE CHOWAN HERALD, N.
