(jg.) Dorothy Bevis, SPAR| procurement officer fof Seattle Already there are approximately | 200 SPARS on duty in Se- attle alone, Bevis pointed now Lieut ! out | “These patriotic ‘young women | have relieved many men for duty | sea and for shore jobs at re-| mote outposts,” Lieut. Bevis de-| clared. “As SPARS become more | thoroughly indoctrinated, more ¢ more Coast Guardsmen will be re-| {leased for the fighting fronts.” The service, she explained, offers an opportunity for young women to | broaden their knowledge and ex- | pcrwnw through travel, special |training and duty assignments of an’ unusual nature. All SPAR re-| cruits from the Northwest area | now are sent to Palm Beach, Fla,, |for their preliminary training. After completion of their n ing course, new SPARS travel| again to reach the scene of their| duty assignment. Young women | from inland cities especially enjoy | work with the SPARS be- | cause activities of the service al- | ways center at interesting seaport cities, Lieut. Bevis pointed out. Women 20 to 36 years of age| with at least two years of high education are eligible to the service is available by writing or visiting the SPAR Procurement Office, Al- aska Building, in Seattle, e .- NICK BEZ HERE Nick Bez, of the Peril Straits Packing Company, is in Juneau and at the Baranof Hotel. * WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1943 IS STOCKED WITH THE LARGEST LECTION IN JUNEAU OF EMPORTED and DOMESTIC RUMS e GINS © BRANDIES VERMOUTHS ®© WINES and CHAMPAGNES EORGE BROTHER PHONE 92 PHONE 95 Where Service, Price and Quality Meet LARGEST SHIPPERS IN ALASKA!
