MEDFOKD MAIL TRIBmTE. MEDFOKD, OKEGON. FRIDAY. SEPTErBET? 10. 193T. PAGE NTNE 'r eager youiHsm;ii TO HIDE DEFECTS FOR NAVY SERVICE Amusing Incidents Are En countered by Recruiting Officer Here Examina tions Show Deficiencies It's not ao eaay to get into the United States navy aa It once was. There wa a time when almost any husky, hard boiled gent who could awab a deck waa acceptable, and no questions asked. That time, however, na passed. Today applicants must pass mental as well as physical examinations Their character and morality record must be beyond reproach. Their back ground Is carefully checked. Refer ences must be given and thoroughly Investigated. With standard of enlistment An a high plane, service In the navy has become a goal whose attainment Is ought by many young men. In their agerness to get Into the navy youth - ful applicants sometimes attempt to cover up deficiencies which would bar them from enlistment. General ly amusing, these subterfuges seldom escape the scrutiny of the recruiting officers who make the Initial exam inations. Barred By Wooden Leg In his two and a half years as re cruiting officer here, Ernest M. West baa had many amusing experiences. Like the time a young man with a wooden leg applied for enlistment. TJnltke many others, however, he did not try to cover up his deficiency. Be announced at the offset that he had a wooden leg but declared that should be no bar to enlistment as be could get around quite readily. He bad to be turned down. On three different occasions youths applla4 when they had obvious han dicaps which they tried to conceal. Each had a glass eye which was not mentioned In the application from wherein physical defects must be noted. Mr. West kept mum until the youths came to the part of the phys ical examination where they had to read a chart with their glass eyes. The examination ended there. Once a youth who had lost a hand to an accident applied for enllitment. He managed well enough In civil life and thought he could do as well in the navy. He also met with disap pointment. SIIJ Up On Birthday At another time two brothers tried to enlist. One, however, was obvious ly too young. The boya had rehearsed a plausible story to conceal this de ficiency. They had neglected, though, to fix up one salient point and that was the date of their births. So when they filled out their vital statistics, their birthdays were Just one month apart in the same year. Questioned on this biological phe nomenon, the brothers readily con fessed that they had cooked up the story so that they might serve to gether to the navy. They explained that they were great pals and did not want to be separated. Tew of these boys actually mean to cheat," Mr. West said. 'They are o eager to serve in the navy that they hope to get by and make up for their little untruths by good service. There's not much chance, however, of getting by. Regulations are strict and must be followed closely." Don't Know Names Another odd thing Mr. West noted fe that not a few young men actually do not know their real given names or dates of birth. Sometimes, he has found after much research, parents will change a child's name after the birth certificate has been made out without taking steps to have the of ficial record changed accordingly. In other Instance, he said, a nickname given the youth as a baby will stick and he will not be aware that It is not his right name. All these discrep ancies must be ironed out to keep the official record straight, Mr. West related. Recently Mr. West accepted for en listment a youth who had had only five birthdays. He was born on Feb ruary 30, 1920. Hard on Breeches ALBANY. N. Y. (UP) Members of New York's state police are tougU on breeches.
