Show RECRUITING U. S. NAVY It has been requested by the U. S. Navy Recruiting Station of Salt Lake City that the Pyramid publish the the following proclamation from the Governor of the State of Utah for the benefit of the people in this valley: "February 25, 192". The Navy Department of the U-nited U-nited States has called upon the State of Utah for one hundred and fifty young men to fill vacancies on board our fighting ships caused by the granting of discharges to men who enlisted for the duration of the war. Our Navy, often termed the Nation's Na-tion's first line of defense, is recognized recog-nized here as elsewhere as of the utmost ut-most importance, and it must be kept up to the full standard of its strenghth. To its enlisted personnel the United States Navy offers fair treatment, and opportunity for education, edu-cation, w-holesale recreation, interesting interest-ing and instructing travel and a general atmosphere of right living and right thinking. It provides a training that any young man will find of marked value throughout his lifetime. I, therefore, respectfully ask that the people of the State of Utah cooperate co-operate with the Navy in securing its enlisted quota and that the young men of our State give to the Navy their serious consideration. Governor Simon Bamberger." |
