Visiting British
Known H<
The few Americans in the
Navy and Army who think they 1
are having a hard lot should H
take a lesson from the experiences
of A. S. Hunt, a Brit- i
ish Navy man who was here i
for three days last week aboard 1
a vessel that is now searching
for submarines, shipping and ;
planes. i
The entire crew of the vessel '
participated in the evacuation 1
at the battle of Dunkirk last
year, although they were not )
all together then. Hunt worked i
ten days and nights, almost J
without sleep. At first he was i
in an open 30-foot motor i
launch, carrying soldiers from 1
shore to ship wtih planes zooming
overhead gunning everything
on the surface.
The first launch was riddled,
Hunt was placed aboard another
and continued. The men ^
were gotten away and Hunt
was serving aboard a transport
when it was torpedoed and
sunk. He was rescued, suffering
from half a dozen machine
gun wounds.

wind. It was reported later in
the morning to be floating over
Tabor City at an altitude of
about 10,000 feet. Apparently,
however, the wind changed its
direction, bringing the balloon
toward Shallotte.
Each of the 36 barrage balloons
at the camp is equipped
with a safety valve which will
automatically release a certain
amount of helium when it reaches
a certain height. In this
manner, a runaway balloon will
deflate itself by degrees, eventually
falling to the ground.
Officials at the post said
shortly after the balloon's escape
that it wbuld not remain

Young Men By "TwoOcean

Stressed In Drive
ALSO, PLACES OPEN
TO 17 TO 50 CL^SS
Limited Number Of Adfjjtional
Men Between The
Ages Of 17 And 5 0
Will Be Given A
Chance, It Is Announced
At the suggestion of Secretary
it Navy Knox, James M. Harper,
editor of The State Port Pilot, has
bene made Navy Editor, to help
the Navy in giving ambitiqus
local young men information
about the opportunities the "TwoOcean
Navy" offers them fof
technical training and advancement
as they serve their country
in its emergency.
According to an announcement
made public in Washington, a
limited number of additional jnen i
between the ages of 17 and 50
will be given a chance, by enlistment
in the Navy or Naval Reserve,
to get to the top, with big
pay, in jobs which by their aptitude
and as a result of examination
they show themselves fittei^
from among nearly 50 different
trades and vocations. These include
such callings as aviatiqo
machinist, dental technician, pho- t
tographer, diesel engineer, radio
technician, electrician, weldef,
storekeeper, and baker. Enlisted '
men may also qualify for commissions
as officers.
Beginning this week, the Navy
plans for a limited time to accept
new qualified men for train- i
ing. These men will be sent to j
one of four Naval Training Stations
and may have a chance to , *
get to a Navy Trade School even
before assignment to the fleet.
During this period they will bp
given regulrr 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 opportunity for loyal ,
young Americans to serve their
country and build their futures
than right now", said Secretary
Knox.
In outllnglng the many advant*
ages offered by enlistment in th?
United States Navy, Mr. Harperaj _,J
*Javy Ed. of The State Port Plot
said. "It is possible for a
Sright young man to increase his
pay seven times during his itrpt:
mlistment and he can earg >ftsi
much as $126 a month. This monthly
figure is actually worth friildi:
more when it is remembered that, jl
the man has few living expehses
and is provided with the finest
>f medical and dental care.
"You have all your food and;
lodging, and also your original'
autfit of clothing provided by'
Jncle Sam free," Mr. Harper con-!
tinued. "In addition there are free
sports and entertainment?even tot
the latest Hollywood pictures. On
top of this you get free travel
and adventure in colorful places^-j
a thing few civilians can afford.
"Whon voii ronsirier th<? size of
this country and the fact thit ,
the Navy will select only 15,000
applicants a month from mahy
times that number throughdot
the United States, the quotation,
'Many are called but few are j
chosen', will apply to local yoiihg
