Young Men Answering
Call To The Colors
Record Number Join
The Navy In August
At least one-fourth of the 553 men
recruited by the Navy in North and
South Carolina during October were
influenced by the current Navy ad
vertising campaign being conducted
in the two states. Lt.-Comdr McFar
land W. Wood, officer-in-charge of
recruiting in the Carolinas. announc
ed recently.
Records reveal that at least one
fourth of October's total enlistments
?the largest number taken in one
month since World War I?joined the
Navy as a result of the advertising
campaign, while many other re
cruits reported that the ads helped
them decide to join America's "first
line of defense."
The campaign was begun Septem
ber 22th in newspapers throughout
North and South Carolina and "is
progressing satisfactorily," Comman
der Wood said. "The series of nine
advertisements, drawn up by a New
York advertising agency, is produc
ing definite results in the Carolinas
by showing young men the many op
portunities offered by the Navy."
Most of the recruits in October's
record-breaking enlistment total who
from rural homes because the cam
paign is designed to reach the rural
areas of ihe Carolinas?iwS of ihe !
South's greatest agricultural states.
Advertisements were awarded only .
to newspapers in towns of less than !
50.000 population and the majority J
of the ads went to weeklies and semi- ]
weeklies.
With the aid of the advertising
campaign, the Raleigh main station
and six sub-stations in North Caro
lina enlisted 375 men from the Tar
Heel state, while the five South Car
olina sub-stations accepted 174 men.
The Charlotte sub-station accepted
106 men during October and set an
all-time record by being the first
Navy recruiting center in the Caro
Rules of the
Road . . .
SPEED ON BRIDGES
Sec. 106. Motor Vehicle Laws of
North Carolina: "It shall be unlaw
ful to drive any vehicle upon any
at a speed which is greater than the
' public bridge, causeway or viaduct
maximum speed which ran with safe
ty to such structure be maintained
thereon, when such structure is sign
j posted as provided in this section."
The State Highway and Public
Works Commission has authority to
j lix the maximum safe speed at which
vehicles may travel on any public j
bridge, causeway or viaduct in the
I State, and when such speeds are des- I
ignated by means of signs, drivers
must observe them.
, linns to enlist over 100 men in one 1
month. October's district figure was
i-3hl abixvc-ihe- October 1940 total of
1250, and surpassed August's total of
I 407 men which broke all records un
til the past month.
[ The advertising campaign is
stressing the many opportunities of
fered Americans by the Navy. Com
mander Wood said. "The Navy now
offers unusual opportunities to am
bilious men between the ages of 17
and 49 inclusive," he asserted.
"College men may become full
[commissioned officers within 120
days after entering the service by
applying for Class V 7. Naval He
serve. Those who have completed
four years college work, which in
cluded two years mathematics, a
I course in physics and a course in
chemistry, or men having an en
gineering degree are eligible. Young
men who have completed at least two
years college work may obtain flight
training This is one of the best
| classes of the Naval Reserve and the
pay and chances of promotion are
I excellent*

Certain Men To Be Released
If They Have One of
Seven Reasons
Certain inducted men will be re
leased or discharged from active mil
itary service prior to the completion
of their regular period of service.
General J Van B. Metts. State Di
rector of Selective Service, announc
ed today as a memorandum was re
ceived from National Headquarters j
of Selective Service outlining the |
policy.
?Men mil nut U' n'U'UM'd H'MHl \)\v\
service indiscriminately, the direct
or- pointed out. but m order ur ob
tain a separation from service the
inducted man must show himself en
titled to a release for one of the fol
lowing seven reasons
1. Physical or mental disability, de
sertion. inaptness, undesirable traits 1
of character, conviction by a civil j
court, dishonorable discharge pur !
uant to sentence of a court martial
oi nnlil.ii> ri'iiiiiibsnni, and for nth j
er recognized military cause Induct |
ed men separated from service for
one of these reasons will be rtcluii
fied bv the local board in either i
Class 1-B or Class IV-F, and such j
men will be subject to reclassifica
tion and reinduction if the reasons
for their release are later removed.
?7!. "Age?An inducted man may be
separated from active military serv
ice- if he reached the age of 28 years
[nil nr befpn* July 1. 11)41. and prior
to his induction into service. Release
will be granted only upon the in -
ducted man filing a "written request
with his commanding officer" Se

charge of men on account of age, and
reason will not be referred to the i
Selective Service system. Such men .
will be transferred to the reserves j
and will not be subject to reinduc
tion bv Selective Service under pres
ent regulations
S Erroneous induction An erron
eous induction is one in which the
man was denied some legal or pro- ,
cedural right. Request for separa !
tidn for this reason must be tiled
by the inducted man with hi-, com
manding officer, and the case will I
be referred to fhe Selective Service
system for investigation and recom
mendation Men separated from j
serviee on this account will assume a j
status us though they had never been |
inducted ,and the local board will
have to proeeed with a new classifi
cation m accordance with Selective
Service regulations.
4 Incorrect classification Request
for discharge for this reason must be
made by the inducted man through
his commanding officer The case
will be referred to the Selective
Service system for investigation and
recommendation Men separated for
this reason may hi- frnnsf.rrpd In
tin- reserves and if, so, will be re
tained in Class 1 C If such men are
actually discharged instead of trans
ferred to the reserves, the local
hoard v\ 111 reclassify them in their
proper i lassihcation.
5. Necessary to the maintenance of |
the national health, safety, oi inter
est. This type of case will also be
referred to the Selective Service i
iyvferri for investigation and recom
mendation Men separated for such
reasons will he transferred to the
reserves and will not be reclassified
by the !< '< a I h< >anl
<> Necui at> t<? pievfcnt impair
meiit of tin national defense effort i
Separation for such men may be au- I
thorized upon application of their J
forimu^ employers. Such separation f
shall be made upon tin recommen- I
dation of the lifhder Secretary of.
War, and such cases will nut be re-1
f' rred to the Selective ".Serviee sys- 1
tern at all Men separated for such
reason will hi transferred to the
leserves and will not be reclassified
by the local board.
7. Dependency or hiTme conditions
occurring after induction To justi
fy a separation for this reason, home
conditions must have changed since
they existed prior t<? induction.
111 - A classification would have been
proper. Application for such separa
tion must be filed by the inducted
man with his commanding officer.
The principal investigation in such
cases will be made by the American
Red Cross in cooperation with the
Selective Service system. Men re
leased from service for this reason
will be transferred to the reserves
and will not be reclassified by the
local board.
