S. Navy and U. S. Marine Corps calling to their attention President! Roosevelt's recent approval of a bill providing for the payment of cash bonsuses if they reenlist on their ship or station within! 24 hours of the end of their {present enlistment. The secretary pointed out that not only will they be given, j bonuses ranging from $200 to +$600 per man upon reenlistment within the allotted time, but also | will continue to en;sy retirement | and death benefits, free med-; jical care for themselves and their families, free dental care and! | transportation allowances. He emphasized, too, that by jreenlisting they will enjoy such} advantages as continued employ- { }ment, the privilege of buying at (ships stores and post exchanges at savings up to 20 per cent or; jmore, good food, companionship | and entertainment on shipboard / jand in barracks. { j “You men who are nearing the lend of your enlistments may be ;considering leaving the naval lservice for private employment! ‘in civilian life”, Seeretary Knox declared. “Particularly petty of- ficers and non-commissioned of- ificers with ratings in the me- | chanical branches may look : to- ; jward high wages in defense in- dustries, Before « you... decide. however, you will do well to | give serious consideration to some jof the following factors which you may have cverlooked.

The} facts are that the dollar value of j benefits of naval employment} actually exceed those of private | employment even for mechanics | of a high degree of skill”. i After enumerating the ad-; in the! navy and marine corps and point- | ing to civilian employment dur- | ing the defense production as instable employment for “boom” period only, Secretary Knox explained the provisions of the reenlistment bonus act. } “Men in the first three pay| grades”, he said, “will receive | ha eash bonus of $200 per year’s} service in previous enlistment | {provided they reenlist within 24; ‘hours on the same ship or station | where they have been serving. } “Men in the lower pay grades; | will receive a bonus of $50 per year’s service in previous enlist-| jment provided they reenlist as | joutlined above. | “This means that a man in one > of the first three pay grades’ jwho has completed a six-year | enlistment will receive a bonus} of $600 upon reenlistment within | 24 hours. A man in those grades | who immediately reenlists after | a four-year enlistment will re- ceive a bonus of $400. “In lower pay grades, the bonuses are $300 and $200 re-/ spectively for six and four-year | previous enlistments. “Tf you leave the navy or ma- rine corps but. reenlist within three months, you will receive‘a bonus just. half of that “outlined above”. ‘ 4 4 GREAT BRITAIN GETS NEW SHIP.
