The New Way
Through a Navy Service Paper, a sailor
offers this version of a wartime wedding cere
mony.
CHAPLAIN: “Wilt thou, John, have this
woman as thy wedded wife, to live together
in so far as the Bureau of Naval Personnel
will allow? Wilt thou love her, comfort, honor
and keep her, take her to the movies and come
home promptly on all 48’s?”
Man: “I will.”
CHAPLAIN: “Wilt thou, Mary, take this
sailor as thy wedded husband, bearing in
mind liberty hours, ship schedules, restric
tions, watches, sudden orders, uncertain mail
conditions and various other problems of
Navy life? Wilt thou obey him, and love,
honor and wait for him to learn to wash, fold
and press his uniforms?”
GIRL: “I will.”
MAN: “I, John, take thee, Mary, as my
wedded wife from 1700 to 0730, as far as
permitted by my commanding officer, liberty
hours, subject to change without notice, for
better or worse, for earlier or later, and 1
promise to write at least once a week.”
GIRL: “I, Mary, take thee, John, as my
wedded husband, subject to the orders of the
officer of the deck, changing residence when
ever the ship moves, to have and to hold as
long as the allotment comes through regu
larly, and there I give thee my troth.”
CHAPLAIN: “Then let no man put asunder
these whom God and the Bureau of Naval
Personnel have wrought together. By virtue
of the authority in Navy regulations of the
Bureau of Personnel Manual and the latest
of bulletins from the Bureau of Personnel
concerning matrimony, you are now man and
wife, by direction of the commanding officer.”

Wednesday night’s entertainment in Me
morial Hall had the largest attendance of
any similar show in the past year. The
reason: Movies were shown of the Cloud-
buster’s 21 to 14 defeat of the Naval Acad-
ejmy.
During the showing of the films Lieut.
Comdr. Glenn Killinger, head football coach,
gave a running commentary over the loud
speaker system.
Several other shorts were shown, and
the Pre-Flight band opened the program
with a 25-minute jam session.

Lieut. P, 0. (Kidd) Brewer, who has been
Public Relations Officer here since the station
was commissioned, was detached this week
for duty outside the continental United States.
He will be replaced by Lieut. Leonard Eiserer
who has served for the past 15 months as Wel
fare and Recreation officer.
Lieut. Brewer was well known among the
writing fraternity throughout the state and
nation. Last week he spoke before a sports-
writers luncheon in New York, and was inter
viewed on the Ted Husing show over the
nationwide CBS network.
