Double Allowance for Navy Re Enlistment
Since August 18 1941 an enlisted regular Navy man who re enlists or extends within twenty four hours of discharge receives double the enlistment allowance. A second class petty officer or above gets 100.00 per year of service rather than 50.00? The text states 5000 per year of service instead of 2500. For a four year enlistment this yields 40000 as a lump sum. This is one of the advantages the Navy offers.

McKittrick ruling narrows Highway Patrol powers
Attorney General Roy McKittrick ruled that the State Highway Patrol may enforce only motor vehicle laws and highway regulations. The opinion, sought by Gov. Forrest C. Donnell, limits patrol work to road matters and omits criminal investigations and general policing. It notes past governors directed patrol to perform non highway duties, including crimes not connected to the department. The biennial report indicated only a small minority of patrol work was criminal in nature.
