Kwasigroch, "recruiter" from »v the U. S. Nary Recruiting Station in CMcajfo, was a visitor in McHenry on Monday afternoon, interviewing some at the young men wh# have signified ttteir interest in the navy, with intentions of enlisting in that branch of the service. An appeal is being made through t|ie cblumns of The Plaindealer for gfecruits to enter the service. TTie response has been quite encouraging. Any young man, who is seventeen years old or over, is invited to fill out one of the coupons, In each issue of • The Plaindealer, after which a re- ^""aruiter will call on him and explain what the Navy has to offer. v An announcement, made public reneatly by the United States Navy Department, that construction has been started on six 27,000-ton super cruis- »s, indicaes that work on our new "two-ocean" navy has been further decelerated. This latest statement concerning naval shipbuildings brings • ' the total number of new ships order- #1 since January 1, 1941, to 2,831 -- With 968 of these ships already under * construction. Production line methods •re being used wherever possible and a pronounced speed-up has been accomplished by the institution of a 48- hour week and a three-shift 24-hour 4* y; 375,000 men are already employed in shipyards and another 125,- 400 men will be added to this force ----*f workmen who are speeding ships p* 4»wn the ways at the rate of at least * Cfce every ten days. So co-ordinated and precise is the current naval shipbuilding program that many months are being cut from the normal building time of American- \ ""tfcade warships.. This expert planner and new speed '"'• ill construction of our ships from 45,000-ton dreadnaughts to small tor- Esdo boats opens the way for the avy to accept new qualified men for training at the rate of 12,000 to 15,000 C month. These men; enlisting in cither the regular Navy or the Naval t Reserve, will be sent to one of the 1 four naval training stations and may ' ~ have a chance to go to a navy trxuj school even before assignment to the fleet. During this period they will < receive regular Navy pay and the free Wavy schooling is Valued at hundreds . M. dollars. ' H New Ships Require Men Every new ship in our Navy will Inquire not only hundreds of additionpi sailors but many more Navy_ men will be needed to work in Navy dry docks, machine shops, ordnance depots and other shore posts to keep, the new """"'"•-ships "n action. p.; "Never in the history of the United States has there been greater opportunity for loyal young Americans to •erve their country and build their V futures than right now," Secretary of ^ Ihe Navy Knox recently said. f';.1' At the sttgestlon of Secretary ,,.j: jtnox, H. P. Owen, has been made Wavy editor of The Plaindealer to help the Navy in giving ambitious young men information about the opportunities the "two-ocean" Navy offers for technical training and adp yancement. j,. . In outlining the many advantages differed by Naval enlistment, Mr. * vwen said, "It is possible for a bright ?»ung man to increase his pay sefen mes during his first enlistment and he can earn as much as $126 a month. JThia monthly figure is actually worth tuich more when it is r.-meir.i^ered - feat the man has few living expenses and is provided with the finest of v asedical and dental care. "You have all your food and lodg- *r • fag. and also your original clothing .Ctftfh 5* provided by Uncle Sam free," Ifr. Owen continued. MIn addition, A Ihere are free sports and entertain- J? ' jfnent. On top of this* you get free ^ $ravt' adventure in colorful giacee -- a thing few Civilians can J|iford. i. "When you consider the sise of this K ' fountry and the fact that the Navy f trill select only 12,000 applicants a t. aaonth from many times that number S'hrou^rhout the United States, the T guotation 'Many are called, hut few are chosen' will apply to local men •V Interested. "As Navy men are a 'hand-picked' fi * lot, candidates must be men of more 6 jh»n average intelligence and ambi -P lion, of fine moral character and must have the written recommendation of i. „ at least two local townspeople."

Pay a visit to The Plain, dealer office or send in the request and one of these booklets will be mailed. y Tell of Opportunities Since Secretary Knox announced |hc enlistment drive for Uncle Sam's ^two-ocean" Navy several weeks ago, lhany young men have asked if they <rere eligible to enlist without a high School education. John Dreyrailler, commander of Mclienry Peak, Anwriean T^sgiow, m* te- v , * swers this important question for the young men of McHenry and surrounding territory. "Navy enlistees do not have to be high school graduates," said fkgAmander Dreymiller. "Any anmCMttsand patriotic young fellow who want* to serve his country has that opportunity now by joining the United States Navy or Naval Reserve. Of course, he must be of average intelligence, good character and be able to pass certain physical and mental examinations. Now, more than ever before, the Navy needs men of that type- "All applicants, whether or not they have hig+i school diploma."., are given an elementary examination containing about one hundred questions," explained Com. Dreyntfller. "Those receiving a grade of fifty per cent or more satisfy Navy educational standards." "Naturally, a high school education is helpful in the Navy, just as it is in civilian life," points out C. If. Duker, superintendent of McHenry Community High school. "There are certain advantages for the high school graduate in the Navy," said Mr, Duker. "He has a wider background to call upon in earning advancement in position and pay. For example, men who are proficient in English may be sent to one of the Navy's communications or clerical schools. Recruits with a knowledge or aptitude for handling tools might be marked for trade or eijjpneering courses. Men with college educations may qualify for midshipmen's training courses in the Naval Reserve and after their schooling period they will report for active duty as officers with the rating of ensigns. "The Navy has four excellent trade schools to which nr>w recruits in either •the regular Navy or the Naval Reserve may be sent after a training period, providing they pass entrance examinations with sufficiently high grades. At these schools they will be trained in any one of nearly fiftj skilled trades or vocations to which their aptitudes suit them and will receive free schooling valued at hundreds of dollars in addition to their regular Navy pay. Such an education is valuable for advancement in the Navy and in later civilian life, he con* eluded. SEVERAL-WELL REMEMBERED IN TDK GUY DIE J.

The varied program consisted of vocal, piano and violin solos, vocal duets and string trios as well as appearances of several larger groups such as the Forte club orchestra, the Forte club septette and the McHenry Choral cluS. In view of the pleasant weather Tuesday evening the crowd was not as large as was expected. However, the fact that it was enjoyed thoroughly by those who did attend, did make up to some extent for the absence of many. All on the program, especially the members of the Forte club, worked long and arduously for weeks in preparation for the fine program presented and should be given much credit.
