Every young man who Joins the Navy or Naval Reserve thus helps to fill our local Selective Service quota. Young men within Selec- tive Service age limits who have not been deferred would do well to consider the opportunities the Navy offers for specialized training and advancement while serving their country in its emergency.

In addition to explaining that Navy cnlistments are credited against the local Selective Service quota, also that a high school edu» cation is not necessary for accept— ance by the Navy. Any ambitious and patriotic young man of aver- age mentality and good character who meets physical and other rc~ Iquircments may be acceptable to help man Uncle Sam’s new “two« ocean" Navy.
