% Heating your home is important,

it that the gas equipment for the
home is just as modern as that for
the factory. Since this is a Natural
Gas town from away back, the
operating cost is surprisingly low.
especially so since many winter ill-
nesses are directly traceable to catch-
ing cold due to inadequate heating
facilities in the home during the
winter season. Bring your household

Poliee Records
Rejeeted By Navy
Approximately 500 applicants
with criminal records were rejected
for enlistment at the II. S. Navy
Recruiting Station at Dallas during
the fiscal year endiug July 1, 1940,
recruiting officials announced today.
To prevent enlistment in the navy
of men with past criminal records,
fingerprints of all applicants are
taken and checked with the Federal
Bureau of Investigation and with
police officials of the applicant's
home county.
As a result of numerous Inquiries
received by the Navy Department In
regard to enlistment in the navy
of men with prison or juvenile po-
lice records. Secretary of the Navy.
Honorable Frank Knox, has made
public the folowing statement of the
Navy Department's policy in con-
nection with recruiting:
"In order that the efficiency of
the navy may be unimpaired, it is
vital that only young men of the
highest type physically, mentally
and morraly. be accepted for ser-
vice. The very close associations and
contacts necesslated by the service
of young men in vessels of the navy
require that all men be of unques-
tionable character. The navy is hav-
ing no difficulty in obtaining men
of this high type. In fact, there is a
waiting list of slightly over 3,000
men at preeent.
"Thousands of young men are en-
listed In the navy each year and the
very high type of requirements are
being stressed constantly. Parents,
school officials, ministers, and the
public in general are informed that
the associations met in the service
will be clean and honorable, and
this assurance, I believe, is directly
responsible for many parents con-
senting to the enlistment of their
sons.
"Out of consideration for the
parents of these fine young men,
many of whom are at their most Im-
pressionable age, there can be no
lowering of our high standards In
the interest of any one group or in-
dividual. Further, in view of the
fact that many excellent boys who
have established their complete fit-
ness for enlistment have been turned
away each year becaus there ar no
vacancies, I do not believe it would
be sound policy to lower our stand-
ards In any respect, no matter how
laudable our motives.
"In view of the above reasons I
feel that our policy, as outlined in
instructions to recruiting officers, is
a sound one. Past exercises have
made it necessary for us to issue
these instructions. However, the
case of each applicant is carefully
studied, and determination is made
■pon individual merit."
