Copr. 1941 BUILD VOUR FUTURE.' GET IN THE NAV4 NOW! King Features U. S. NAVY PLANS NEW CONSTRUCTION OF SUPER CRUISERS An announcement, made public re cently by the United States Navy De partment, that construction has been started on six 27,000-ton super cruis ers, indicates that work on our new “Two-Ocean" Navy has been further accelerated. This latest statement concerning Naval shipbuilding brings the total number of new ships order ed since January 1, 1941, to 2,381— with 968 of these ships already un der construction. Production line methods are being used wherever possible and a pronounced speed-up has been accomplished by the insti tution of a 48-hour week and a three- shift 24-hour day. 375,000 men are already employed in shipyards and another 125,000 men will be added to this force of workmen who are speed ing ships down the ways at the rate of at least one every ten days. So coordinated and precise is the current naval shipbuilding program that many months are being cut from the normal building time of Ameri can-made warships. This expert planning and new speed in construction of our ships from 45,000-ton dreadnaughts to small torpedo boats opens the way for the Navy to accept new qualified men for training at the rate of 12,- 000 to 15,000 a month. These men, enlisting in either the regular Navy or the Naval Reserve, will be sent to one of the four Naval Training Sta tions and may have a chance to go to a Navy Trade School even before I assignment to the fleet. During this period they will receive regular Navy pay and the free Navy schooling is valued at hundreds of dollars. Every new ship in our Navy will require not only hundreds of addi tional 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 in action. “Never in the history of the United States has there been greater oppor tunity for loyal young Americans to serve their country and build their futures than right now,” Secretary of the Navy Knox recently said. At the suggestion of Secretary of Navy Knox, The Hermiston Herald has been asked to help the Navy in giving ambitious young men informa tion about the opportunities the “Two- Ocean” Navy offers for technical training and advancement. It is possible for a bright young man to increase his 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 expenses and is provided with the finest of medical and dental care. You have all your food and lodg ing, and also your original clothing 1 outfit is provided by Uncle Sam free. In addition, there are free sports and entertainment. On top of this, you | get free travel and adventure in col orful places a thing few civilians can afford. When you consider the size of this I country and the fact that the Navy will select only 12,000 applicants a month from many times that number throughout the United States, the quotation ‘Many are called, but few are chosen’ will apply to local men interested. As Navy men are a “hand-picked” lot, candidates must be men of more than average intelligence and ambi tion, of fine moral character and must have the written recommenda tion of at least two local towns people.” The Herald has just received from Washington a supply of free illus trated booklets for all men interest ed and, in addition, will welcome in quiries from young men who wish to look into the new and greater oppor tunities the Navy and the Naval Re serve now offer for training for later civilian careers as they serve their country now in its emergency.
