Commander Kenneth C. Elliott, officer in charge of navy recruiting in Louisiana.

Carefully guarded are the secrets of radio's mysterious weapons. Only men trained in military schools are generally familiar with the vast and challenging field of ultra high-frequency electronics which is enabling men to work modern miracles in behalf of a speedier victory, Commander Elliott observed. The emphasis placed on this important phase of Allied military strategy is evidenced by the patience and care with which radio technicians are trained. Those men who pass the navy Eddy test, for example, find open to them ten months of intensive schooling which prepares them for the magnificent work of saving lives and bringing much nearer the day of victory. To these same men radio opens another door, the door of personal post-war opportunity, the chance to fit themselves for key positions in television, industrial electronics, broadcast radio, aircraft radio and many other scientific occupations.

Commander Elliott said. A comprehensive examination covering basic mathematics, fundamental electricity, elementary physics, practical shopwork and simple radio, the Eddy test is a yardstick by which the navy judges aptitude of a man for this course. Particular emphasis, he said, is placed on mathematics. Each applicant is notified within a few days if he passes the test. Failure to score a passing grade in no way disqualifies the applicants for other branches of the navy, but successful applicants enter the navy with many advantages in rating, pay and opportunitits.

F. C. training is over. The day has come, I am leaving Camp Robinson, my Army life has begun. I know not where I am going, but I can tell by the way I feel, I am going to replace some American soldier who has died on the battlefield.

Well, there will be lots of action and strange things for me to see, as I have never been out of Aemrica. I am just a country boy, you see. While scrambling in their trenches, in their fox holes trying to hide, just another American soldier drifting with the tide. When the clouds are dark and heavy and the rain is dripping down my back, my family will be praying for the day that I'll come back. When you can hear the big guns roar and the battle passing by, and your friends lying around you suffering as they die.

When the scream of death is roaring, you can hear it in your years, your mind it wanders back and your eyes are filled with tears. There is something In your heart that is heavy like lead as you march across the battlefield walking on the dead. Your eyes they gleam like fire, your cheeks are burning, too; you wonder who will be next. It might even be you. Hell, when this battle is over, there are boys that won't be home, but will be buried on the battlefield, buried there alone.

I made no promises, as you know, except that I would so conduct the school affairs in which you are so deeply interested in such manner as would never cause you to regret having voted for me. I solicit your counsel and advice on all occasions, and at all times, and believe that in this spirit of mutual cooperativeness we may be able, together to build a better and better system of schools for the benefit of our children, and for other children yet to be the beneficiaries of the school system.

Again thanking you for your fine vote, of confidence in my ability and honesty, and with no ill-will whatever to those who did not see their way clear to support me, and to assure those who were opposed to me that it shall be my earnest effort to give each and every one the same careful, honest and efficient treatment of which I am capable.

JORDAN, JR. San Diego, Sept. 7, 1944. Dear Mr. Mangham: Thanks a million for the Beacon-News.

It sure has helped me long. I enjoy receiving the paper very much. It is like a big letter. The news of my friends makes the day brighter for me and my friends. I hope the little town of Rayville is progressing fast.

I don't have much news as to the enlistment of my friends. I suppose all are already doing their part in the yva.r. Most of the boys are already in uniform of some kind. I just pray that God will bless and guide them on to victory. It'll take prayer to give us victory.

That is something that most of the fellows have been laughing at, but the day will come when we will all cry for mercy and there'll be none. Encourage the service men to attend church and the places of worship. God will touch their hearts If they will only believe in Him and put their trust in Him. Well, I'm on duty and I'll have to say so long. Tell my friends "hello" and to remember this blond-headed sailor in their prayers.

Pray for me and may God bless you. A worker for Jesus, WM. JR. HEAR FROM PFC. ELLIS DUNCAN Mrs.
