Paul J. Polovitch, the seventeen-year-old son of Mr. and. Mrs. Peter Polovitch of 27 Olah Avenue, Norwood, was sworn into the Navy today at the Boston Navy Recruiting Station by Lieut. Jacob M. Gibson, officer in charge of Navy Recruiting and Induction for the Greater Boston District.
When he completes his indoctrination, he will have an opportunity of attending one of the more than 60 Navy Trade Schools. The trade he learns will not only be beneficial to him in the Navy but will assure him of a good-paying job when victory is won and he returns to civilian life.
