will again be brilliantly lighted
for the holiday season this year.
The lights will be green, red and
blue. Employees of the city wa-;

decoration, probably a star. The
lights will be put up and ready
to turn on soon after Thanksgiv
ing and will burn each night un
til Christmas.

"BEST JOB IN THI WORLD"
These special privileges are typical
of the new law recently passed by
Congress. Few opportunities for a
lifetime career offer as many attrac
tive advantages.
Can you think of any other job
that would give you good pay, your
food, clothing, quarters, free med
ical and dental care, world-wide
travel, 30 days’ furlough every year,
education and training in any of
nearly 200 skills or trades, and
enable you to retire with a life in
come any time after 20 yean'tervice ?
There isn’t any! That’s why a
job in the Regular Army has been
called “The Best Job in the World.”
