PARTY
(Continued from page 3)
William Henry (Lanky) Cole,
Mus.2c, trombonist and swing piano
player, the former bandleader at the
Hillside High School, Durham, acted
as toast-master, provoking laugh af
ter laugh with his natural humor.
Comdr. Kessing, Chief Bandmaster
Dudrow, and the band’s own leader,
J. B. Parsons, Mus.2c, were presented
to. the group, but there were no long
speeches. The Captain told of his pride
for the band and ordered the men to
take the following day off—which
every man could be expected to do with
enthusiasm.
The band’s 16-piece swing orchestra,
directed by bandsman Melvin L. Wall,
Mus.2c, stomped off into a short but
hot program of jive favorites while
the tables were cleared for dancing.
Lights were dimmed and 44 sailors in
dress blues (shoes glistening) guided
their 44 dream girls about the room.
As the evening spent itself, the couples
left the dance floor for the rooms about
the lobby to enter table games or to be
served punch and soft drinks. At mid
night sharp, the dancing stopped, the
National Anthem was played, and the
entire party loaded into the buses for
trips back to Durham and Greensboro.
The men wanted it that way.

Supply Officer Explains
Smoked Meat Shortage
Add smoked meats to the growing
list of wartime casualties insofar as
getting these foods on your menu fre
quently is concerned, advises Lt.
Comdr. Benjamin Micou, supply officer
of this station.
“The problem of supplying meat to
the constantly increasing numbers of
overseas forces is a tremendous under
taking,” Lt. Comdr. Micou explains.
“Such meats as bacon, smoked ham,
canned corn beef, and sausages are
most easily shipped, and as a result a
shortage of these particular items is
rapidly developing in civilian outlets
and even at Army and Navy bases in
this country.
“All of us are only too glad to do
without such items as these as long
as the overseas forces are being prop
erly taken care of, and the govern
ment is seeing to that.”
CRUISING
(Continued from page 3)
other enlisted SK’s, but commissions
took their toll and his entire original
group departed for other pastures. No
aid in sight, a frantic call to other
stations netted only the services of one
man, John Doty, SKlc, so again the
girls stepped to the front.
With the exception of “Pay” and
Doty, the Disbursing crew is composed
entirely of personnel who would love
to see again the days when a silk stock
ing was something to wear instead of
remember, and what a job they per
form! Most naval stations have a
Civil Service employee working in the
Disbursing section for each 400 per
sons, but here the job of taking finan
cial care of 1,500 cadets is held by two
women, Mrs. Mary Frances Schinhan
and Miss Alice Logan, Mrs. Louise
Burks took over the job of handling
public vouchers and travel orders
when the SK on that detail became an
officer, and Miss Evelyn Tedder be
came the chief dealer in allotments
and insurance when another SK did
likewise. Miss Lillian Lloyd, relief for
Miss Harrison, who by the way is soon
to become a Mrs,, and Miss Norris
Snow round out this important office.
This feminine disbursing crew has
been averaging 50 hours work per
week without compensation for over
time, and yet all are rated as CAF-ls,
the lowest paid members of the Civil
Service system. Among them is a hold
er of a Phi Beta Kappa key, another
is the possessor of a Master’s Degree,
and all of them have attended college
at one time or another.
Across the hall from this disburs
ing outfit is the yoving lady who prints
all the Executive Orders, etc., that lit
ter our mail boxes. Miss Dorothy
Fierens, who toils from sun to sun,—
yes, and with her, too, work is never
done.
In the Academic Department, in ad
dition to Miss Lalle, there are Miss
Elinor Bayer, Mrs, Nell Montgomery,
and Mrs, Winifred Boyd,
In the Athletic Department there
are Mrs, Joy Ellen Dickinson in the
football office, Mrs, Eloise Bracken
and Mrs, Mary Whitmire in the mass
exercise department, and Mrs. Vir
ginia Johnson detailed to the sports
program phase. Other members of the
athletic section include Mrs. Kay
Crawford, Mrs. Margaret Harvey, and
Mrs, Loretta Newton.
The sick bay, home of pills and
bandages, obtained the aid of Miss
Frances Snipes and Miss Martha
Webb to assist in keeping the station
healthy.
Just as this left for the press we
learned that Mrs. Martha Sizemore
had been drafted as the third member
of the switchboard watch.
