the farms of eastern Canada.

And the hills were hard and steep:
So he closed your weary eyelids
In calm and restful sleep.
Peaceful be thy sleep, dear Mother.
It is sweet to breathe thy name.
In life we loved you dearly
In death we do the same.

I Enlistment In Navy
Open To Men 38
And 17 Years Old
0 Enlistment in the Navy is still
open to all men over 38 and to 17
year olds. Lt. Comdr. Charles B.
Neely said today, disqualifying the^^
rumor that enlistments were ban-^J
ned to men of all ages.
Neely, who is officer-in-charge of
the Navy's recruiting, said that 17
year old boyfc were greatly desired
—especially those youngsters who
are interested in the Navy as a
career. "The Navy no longer is in
terested' in quantity enlistments—
we want quality enlistments," he
said.
'The 17-year-old boys of today
are the officers and petty officers
of tomorrow. Many young Navy
men are chosen each year for
schooling at the Naval Academy
at Annapolis, which gives them a
lifetime job at excellent pay,"
Neely asserted.
The Navy's trade schools—55 of
them—have been thrown open to
the younger recruits. These schools
teach every trade which can. be
imagined—ranging from medical
work to carpentry and other build
ing trades.
Upon completion of one of those
schools, the recruit is eligible for
a petty officers rating, with id
vanced pay and privileges. Prona
tions are rapid and regular, depend
ing on the individual.
Men between the ages of 38 and
50 also are eligible to enlist. Those
with trades needed by the Navy
are being enlisted in the Naval Re
serve with petty officer rating.s AH
types of construction workers, ra
diomen and many other tradesmen
are needed, and ratings run up to
chief petty officer—highest non
commissioned rating.
Application may be made at any
of North Carolina's eight Navy re
cruiting stations. They are located
at Charlotte. Raleigh, New Bern,
Wilmington. Asheville, Greensboro,
Salisbury and Winston-Salem.
