and griefs have developed a wonder
ful aplrlt and courage in the people

THOSE WHO USE
TOOLS WANTED
BT y. s.
P J. Vaudewail tag received
cards and necessary; blank's andi' la
mw prepared to enroll shipbuild
ing mechanics for work with the
government. This includes men who
are skilled blacksmiths, boiler
raaK-rs, ship carpenters, dock build
ers. electrical workers, foundry
workers, machinists, painters,
plumbers, pipe fitters, sheet metal
workers, coppersmiths, ship Jitters
and structural iron workers.
However the government does not
relegate enrollment simply to men
skilied in lines of work mentioned,
as '• is going to bo the policy of
the government in making the en
rollment to specialize: 1st — All
classes of mechanics that can. be
us i iu construction of wooden and
st-* 1 ships; 2nd—All/ other class
es o' mechanics; 3rd—Expert gas
engine and automobile engineers
a' ' drivers; 4th—Experienced
lunger men, both mill and woods
met.; 5th—All persons who are
an'* and willing to serve in agricul
tural work; 6th—Young men who
ar" willine and can pass am examine
tion as aviators; 7th—All others
who desire to be enrolled in the
garv'ce.
No man need hesitate about en
roilinr Bimply because he is not
skilled in the lines for which the
"Hurley" postal cards are used as
the Reserve welcomes every patriotic
citizen who wishes to serve,
whatever his qualifications, includ
in» 1'iborers of all kinds, artisans,
engineers, professional men. The
men especially needed, besides
'ho-p skilled in trades which are
adjuncts to shipbuilding, are me
diants, artisans, skilled laborers,
of j» 11 kinds, men who can work
with tools. ! '
Enrolment does not bind the
person enrolling to accepti a job from
the Government, although it is
hoped that ho will do so if a Job is
offered him. Neither does enroli
ng. t bind the Government to offer
a job to the registrant.
A* the time a registrant is
offered a job, he will be informed
as 'o the wages and other working
oondltions. so he will then know
whether or not he is in position, to
a<\.ent. Registrants will be furn
ished with a membership card and
also with a bronze button, as sooa
as the latter are received from
\V-«ninglon,
Inasmuch as Alaska's quota Is
1,000 men, it Is hoped that every
qualified person will Immediately
register. Registration has been
somewhat delayed by reason of tae
failure of supplies to reach ihe
Enroling Agents throughout Alas
ka, Mit now that they- have arrived
it - thought that a large enroll
ment will be had.- 1
