Elks’ Lodge of Sorrow—Golden Wedding Anniver- sary of Mri and Mts. Edmund A. Brown-—Delegates to Arrange for War Ra The rush ef young men of this lo- cal exemption district to join the navy is on. Close to-a dozen regis- tered men appeared at the office of the local exemption board during Fri- day and asked for the necessary cre- dentials to establish te the satisfac- tion of the navy recruiting officers that they have been properly released from their obligations to the local board, providing they o into the na- val service. More young men have signified their intention to come to ‘the office today and get releases to join the navy, so the indications point to the very suc- cessful carrying out of the plans of the navy recruiting party that will be here from December 9 to 16. « The number of applications for per- mission to join the navy came as & surprise to members of the local ex- emption board. The answer seems to be that many young men, brave as any, looking ahead, prefer life in pros- peci on @ vessel of the fleet rather than in the army service and the lia- Lility of goin ginto the trenches. They know that in the navy they are al- ways sure of a cemfartable place to slecep and that their meals will come with punctual regularity. “If I die, said one of them, ‘T as soon die at sea as on land’ :Se the navy for mine.” LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR TO ADDRESS ELKS SUNDAY Will Come From Bridgeport to Speak at Annual Lodge, of Sorrow.
