Boys Enlist in Navy

Word has been received from A. M. Powell, Quartermaster First Class U.S. Navy, local Naval Recruiting Officer, that the January quota of enlistments for the Burlington District were enlisted Wednesday, January 3, at Des Moines, Iowa.

Following is a list of the lucky boys: Pressley Eugene Holmes, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Holmes of Columbus Junction, Iowa; Raymond Oral Chrisinger, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Chrissinger, Winfield, Iowa; and Willis Ebner, son of Mrs. Francis Ebner, Wayland, Iowa. These young men are on their way to the Naval Training Station at San Diego, California for a three month period of training, and after that they will either be sent to one of the various trade schools or to one of the ships of the fleet.
