McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, SOUTH CAROLINA ' Thursday, September 25, 1941 IcCORMICK MESSENGER L I 1 Published Every Thursday Established Jane S, EDMOND J. McCRACKEN, Editor and Owner totered at the Post Office at Mc Cormick, S. C., as mail matter of Mm second class. < SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ] One Year $1.00 Bix Months .75 Three Months.50 Opp ortunities To Young Men Are Offered In Navy Navy Plans To Accept Qualified Men For Training: For A Limited Time. At the suggestion of Secretary of Navy Knox, E. J. Mc Cracken, Editor of The Messenger has been made Navy Editor, to help the Navy in giving ambitious local young men information a- bout the opportunities the “Two- Ocean Navy” offers them for tech nical training and advancement as they serve their country in its -emergency. According to an announcement made public in Washington, a limited number of additional men between the ages of 17 and 50 will toe 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 fitted, from a- mong nearly 50 different trades and vocations. These include such callings as aviation machinist, <dental technician, photographer, diesel engineer, radio technician, electrician, welder, 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 training. These men will be sent to one of four Naval Training Stations and may have a chance to go to a Navy Trade School even before assignment to the fleet. During this period they will be given reg ular 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 outlining the many advan tages offered by enlistment in the United States Navy, Mr. Mc Cracken, Navy Editor of The Messenger, said, “It is possible for a bright young man to increase tois pay seven times during his first enlistment and he can earn as much as $126 a month. This monthly figure is actually worth much more when it is remembered that the man has few living ex penses and is provided with the finest of medical and dental care. “You have all your food and lodging, and also your original outfit of clothing provided by Uncle Sam free,” Mr. McCracken continued. “In addition there are sports and entertainment— even to the latest Hollywood pic tures. On top of this you get free travel and adventure in colorful places—a thing few civilians can afford. “When you consider the size of this country and the fact that the Navy will select only 15,000 applicants a month from many times that number throughout the United States, the quotation, ‘!fany are called but few are chosen,’ will apply to local young men interested. “Navy men are a ‘hand-picked’ lot. Candidates must be men of more than average intelligence and ambition, of fine moral char acter and must have the written recommendation of at / least two local townspeople.” As Navy Editor, Mr. McCracken has just received from Washing ton a supply of free illustrated booklets for all men interested and, in addition, will welcome in quiries from young men who wish to look into the new and greater opportunities the Navy now offers for training for future civilian careers as they serve their country now in its emergency.

Long a policy of the fair management, everything possible is done in ad vance of the opening dates, so there will not be the usual frantic rush at the last minute, the plague of so many enterprises. The dates set for the fair this year are October 20-25, the entire third week of the month. The Carolina-Clemson game will be played on Thursday of that week, October 23. Many signs indicate the great est fair yet, D. D. Witcover of Darlington, president, and Paul V. Moore, Spartanburg county, the secretary, are convinced. In quiries evidence considerable in terest and the demand for exhibit space has been brisk. With good times pouring extra dollars into the pocketbooks of South Carolina citizens, the fair should break all attendance records this year. i- - ,• •; •' f |S;. • .. w-r-rv i l iSfo &?**+****&>&&> ■ CHEVROLET AIDS NATIONAL DEFENSE 7' r/ # SERVICE 0E MAK NG MILITARY TRUCKS MAKING 75-MM.
