“The time I spent in the navy gave me an invaluable confidence and taught me that a man in the navy can go as high as he desires, depending entirely on. the will of the man himself,” he said recently. “The navy has contributed importantly to a background for my future living.” The navy recruiting office here points out that men like Mr. Caldwell are making it possible for the navy recruiting service in Indiana to establish an enviable record in the nation-wide race to build .an

invincible navy.
