What They're Doing
ANTIGUA BASE COMMAND,
Antigua, BWI. The promotion
of Tech. Sgt Roy J. Shreve, fi
nance department, to the rank ol
warrant officer after less than
six years' army service was an
nounced by CoL George L. Kraft,
commanding Antigua base com
mand, where Shreve has been on
duty since last October.
Shreve, son of Mr. and Mrs.
W H. Shreve, route three, Sa
lem, Ore., has been in the Unit
ed States army since October,
1936, when he enlisted at Van
couver Barracks, Wash. After
three years' service with the

became a corporal, Shreve was
transferred to the finance de
partment and ordered to Fort

tended grade school in Fallon

cers in , ships of the American
merchant marine now, have an
excellent opportunity to prepare
wemseives. at the exnense of the
government, to pass the license
examinations.
Requirements for obtaining the

maritime service, include produc
ing documentary evidence of
citizenship, such as a birth cer
tificate or its equivalent, havins
discharges proving minimum
service of 14 months at sea dur
ing the past three years, and pass
ing a physical examination. '
The next prospective" licensed

Brooklyn's district attorney and
unsuccessful candidate for mayoi
at thie last election, wore a police
man's uniform. Today O'Dwyei
is wearing a uniform again, thii

York state supreme court judge
Time Expired
For Portland
PUD Election
Efforts to have a people's utility
district proposal for the city of
Portland placed on the November
election ballot, or possibly on any
special election ballot yet this
year, have failed because of time
limits prescribed by law, accord
ing to a formal opinion given by
Attorney General I. H. Van Win
kle and an interpretation made
by Secretary Charles E. Stricklin
of the state hydroelectric board
here Thursday.
The attorney general ruled that
the PUD proposal of the "Bonne
ville for Portland committee"
could not be put on the 'Novem
ber 3 general election ballot be
cause that date does not fall with
in the 50 to 60-day limit pre
scribed by law following the mak
ing of a request to the hydroelec
tric commission for an election.
Time for holding a repeat elec
tion, following defeat of a PUD
proposal for Portland in 1940, ex
pired on May 17, Stricklin added.
The PUD proponents in Port
land have to start proceedings
"from scratch," filing the usual
preliminary and succeeding peti
tions, before they can again put
) district proposal up to the peo
ple, Stricklin said.
War time expansion of the US
coast guard has created a great
demand for men, and in order to
enlarge its war time complement,
the coast guard is now accepting
men for reserve enlistment if they
are between the ages of 17 and
55, in good physical condition.
The former age limits were 17
to 35. This new regulation will
make available a large store of
men with valuable experience who
were left untouched before.
A variety of vacancies are open
to men with experience. Radio
operators, cooks, diesel and gas
engine mechanics, aviation me
chanics, aviation metalsmiths,
carpenters, pharmacists, stenog
raphers or small boat operators
may be given ratings as petty
officers provided their training is
deemed sufficient. If a man is
not skilled in a trade, the coast
guard will train him in one of its
many fine technical schools.
High school graduation is no
longer required. Those interested
should see the recruiting officer,
room 306, Pioneer postoffice, Port
land, for full particulars.
Job Office Gives ,

The Salem office of the US em
ployment service is to be kept

This assistance was offered by
Baillie, in addition to customary
office hours, from 5 to 9 p.m. on
Fridays.
HAZEL GREEN Lt Ar
thur Clemens, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Ben Clemens, has finished

Kans., and later to Camp Chaffee,
Ark., where he aided in training
new recruits.
