NAVY RECRUITING CAMPAIGN
Changes Announced By Commodore (New Zealand Press Association) DUNEDIN, June 16. Future recruiting efforts of the Royal New Zealand Navy would be aimed more at parents than at young people, Commodore L. S. Stanners, the second member of the Naval Board, said in Dunedin today. Too often in the past, Navy recruiting advertising had featured native dancing girls and sailors
leaning on the guard rails of a ship, he said. This was not the Navy. The Navy offered good career prospects. At present, 40 per cent, of the New Zealand Navy's officers had been promoted from the lower decks, said Commodore Stanners.
"We want to impress that the Navy is not a stop-gap for a young man until he gets the sea fever out of his system before settling down,” he added.
