NAVY RECRUITER COMING FRIDAY Chief Carver Will Be Here At The Post Office Fri day And Saturday The urgent need for more wo men as members of the WAVES grows daily more acute, according to Chief Petty Officer F. O. Car ver, Jr., officer-in-charge of the Asheville Navy recruiting station. Chief Carver, who makes regu larly scheduled visits to Brevard and Transylvania county, said to day that many thousands more women are needed to replace men who now occupy shore positions. These men, in turn, will be re leased for sea duty or for assign ment elsewhere. “However,” he added, “until the women of America make a real response to the appeal that is being made to them, it will be necessary to retain men at these positions, for they are necessary parts of Navy activity and must be carried on.” He pointed out that by enlisting in the WAVES, a woman will be trained to occupy a Navy position. Her civilian back ground will be utilized to the ut most in placing her in a Navy assignment, Chief Carver added. Carver is the Navy recruiter for this section of the state. He an nounced that he will be in Bre vard, at the post office, on Friday and Saturday, August 6-7th, for the purpose of interviewing women interested in the WAVES, as well as 17-year-old boys who desire to apply for enlistment in the Navy, and skilled tradesmen who wish to learn more about the Seabees, the Navy’s world-famous Construc tion Corps. “The Navy,” Chief Carver said, “stands in great need of people in all three of these categories. We need the 17-year-olds as volun teers, we need the Seabees, and we need the WAVES. One bale of cotton linters will make 20,000 rounds of machine gun ammunition. Civilian rayons are also made from linters and they serve as the basic part in the production of plastics. The War Food Administration has announced an increase of 1 cent a bushel in the national aver age of wheat loan rates for the 1943 crop. The new rate is $1.23 per bushel.
