NAVY DAY PROCLAIMED
Whereas, October 27 has for the past several years
been designated as Navy Day, and
Whereas, Ae United States navy is our first line of

fensives of the present world-wide struggle for freedom
and justice.
It is hereby proclaimed that North Wilkesboro join
with other cities and towns of our nation in observance
of Navy Day on October 27.
Let us pause on this occasion and consider the pro
tection afforded our nation by the navy and its correlat
ed branches of service—the U. S. Marine Corps-and the
Coast Guard.

recruits, we Aould encourage young men who are inter
ested to enlist in Ais branch rf Ae service. A naval
recruiting officer will be at the North Wilkesboro tosvn
hall on Navy Day to inl«Tfiew men intmsted in service :
