Tim Public Press of Alaska:
1 Gentlemen:
I enclose herewith a copy
of official bulletin No. 22 issued
by the Division of Four Minute Men
of the Committee on Public Infor
mation. Will you kindly give as
much publicity as possible to this
bulletin, taking your information
from the facts found on pages 2,
3, and 4 thereof. This bulletin is
the authorized publication of the
goverment. In giving this matter
publicity, kindly impress on your
reaclprs that workers should NOT
QUIT their present jobs, even though
they have the necessary qualifica
tions for a job in the shipbuilding
yards. They should communicate
with the Local Chairman of Four
Minute Men, your city, stating their
qualifications. They should then
wait until they hear from the gov
ernment as to whether or not their
application has been accepted be
fore quitting their job and going
to the shipbuilding yards. An ap
plication for a job is not oinding
on the government or the applicant,
but it gives the government a large
list from which it may select com
petent workmen. 38G.OOO skilled
workers are needed for this purpose
during the next 7 months. Eevery
j thing is dependent on our ships—
drive that fact home.
