■UMN_ TRADE OFFERED HIGH GRADUATES Navy Offers Opportunity For Learning, Retirement On Security Young men just graduating from schools in Southeastern h, orth Carolina are having opportunities to advance themselves by enterting the navy to learn a. trade, F. L. Williams, officer in charge of the Wilmington district office of the nav al recruiting service, reported yes terday. Graduates of the various naval trade schools are sent to sea to be employed on board at their respec tive trades. In a few years they may reach the rate of chief petty offi cer, a responsible position in the U. S. Navy. After 20 years service they may retire to the fleet reserve with pay amounting to about $63 monthly. In the fleet reserve, they are to all intents and purposes civilians, ex cept that they may be called back into service in the time of a nation al emergency. After ten years in the fleet re serve their retired pay rises to $110.25 a month for life. Upon retire ment at 20 years service they are still young men and may pursue their trade anywhere in civilian life and monthly retired pay come in regularly, Williams said. "This pay plus the wages earned gives them a comfortable living with security. They have in addition to their trades the more valuable asset of being men trained in discip line and the proper mode of living. “This latter asset is what the civil ian employers are looking for. They want a man who will do what they tell him to do, at once, skillfully, and thoroughly, and who will do it without being watched. This is what the Navy teaches a man and it is why the Navy rated men are eager ly sought for in civilian life,” Wil liams said. First enlistments as apprentice seamen at the local sub-station dur ing the past week included: Ver non Morris, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Morris, of Tabor City: Con rad Lewis, 19, son of R. T.
