These headquarters and construc
tion companies are comprised of

for shore duty at naval bases out
side the continental limits of the
United States. Acting appointments
are made in various ratings up to
and including Chief Petty Officer,
depending upon the age, experience
and other qualifications of the per
sonnel enlisted.
The enlistment period is for the
duration of the war. The salaries
for these enlistments range from
$36.00 to $99.00 a month and include
housing, food, clothing,, transporta

other incidentals to which enlisted

your ratings, and allowances for
dependents if applicable. You will
not receive this pay, however, until
your arrival at your first duty sta

A Flag Like This Brings
War News Close to Home
Olongapo . . . Pearl Harbor . . .
Singapore . . .Wake . . . these names
have special meaning now in many
a home. "My son was there ... my
neighbor's boy ... my brother. . . the
chap who worked beside me."
Reach for the newspaper . ' . turn
on the radio-. . . anxious for news. . .
eager to help!
We know a little of how it is. For
each star on the flag you see above
there is one of our own Pacific
Power & Light Company boys in
the uniform of his nation. And for
every one of these stars, five more
might be added for the sons, the
brothers and other close relatives
of those who carry on the work of
our company family.
So keep the lines "hot", and keep
the wheels turning! Give them the
guns and the planes, the ships and
the food! Give them a chance to
come home when the victory's won.
That's the job today . . . and beside
it, nothing else counts.
