TWU ___ TAR HEE RUNS BUSINESS FREAK NEW BERN, Jan. 29. — First Lt Joseph E. Zaytoun, USMCR, o: New Bern, wrues from Tsingtao China, that he is directing “one oi the biggest business freaks" evei conducted successfi'Jy in militarj annals. As post exchange officer for the Sixth Marine division in the Paci fic, which saw action on Okinawa Zaytoun was ordered to set up £ post exchange on Guam. As sooi as Japan surrendered, he was tolc *0 open a similar unit in Japan Hhen almost immediately he wa: assigned to get exchanges openet in North China. After getting 1' post exchanges in readiness a Tsingtao, he sent stocks to Chin wangtao, 300 miles northward, fo: still another unit. “Then I sat in the middle of ai avalanche of bills, requisitions anc statements coming from Guam Japan, Chinwangtao and the 1! exchanges here, trying to keep £ balance between assets and liabil ities,” Zaytoun reported. “For i divisional post exchange office, . think this job is really the bigges business freak in all military his tory." Though it may be a freak, divi sion correspondents write that i' is a successful freak. Each montt business amounts to around $100, 000; and during the last quarter the New Bemian turned over $50, 000 in profits for use by the divi sional recreation office. A native New Bernian, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ellis Zaytoun, Zay toun is a graduate of the Univer sity of North Carolina. He has been overseas and is a veteran of the Guam operation. In civilian life, he and other members of his family owned and operated the Zaytoun wholesale magazine and retail news agency in New Bern. His wife, the former Thelma Knuckley, is residing here with his parents. Operation Stork Heads For H-Hour; Crew Dubious NEW YORK, Jan. 29 — (U.R) — Operation Stork headed for its H-Hour today., with 20,000 diapers, 1,200 safety pins and a crew of old salts more leery of babies than of bombs. The Grace Liner Santa Paula, under War Shipping Administra tion management, steamed toward England to bring 585 British brides and babies to GI’s—hus bands and proud papas—waiting in ■ the United States. The ship was armed with 600 baby bottles, 120 basinettes, 80 high chairs, 20 play : pens 25 cribs and 10 dozen cellu 1 loid ’rattles and over-stuffed plush ' bunnies. ; “I am a bachelor myself,” said . ship’s purser Julian Palacios. What will happen if I am called upon to change a diaper? I think J I would jump overboard first.” Palacios figured if women didn’t I get seasick, he wouldn’t have to change diapers for their infants, so he orlered ice cream served twice every day on the eight-day voyage. Ice cream rests well on the stomach, he said. The ship’s crew of more than 100 men had been through torpedo and plane raids during the war, but nothing like this. Only 40 of them were married, and fewer than 20 had children. They were instructed to smile at all babies, however, and to mutter “goo, goo, whenever they had time. (.apt. Alb in a. Anderson, foi 31 years a Grace Line captam, was the only crew member completely free of worries about the shipload of women and children. “I had 75 schoolteachers on one trip,” Anderson said. “I don’t think any women and children could be as much trouble as those school teachers—or as seasick.” The former luxury liner’s state rooms had been converted first for troops. Now they were con verted again for women. Three to seven women will sleep in each of the staterooms, on three-tiered bunks. Babies all will have cribs. Women with children will be served in a Georgian-style dining room. Just plain brides will eat cafeteria-style. A permanent army staff was aboard and Maj J. J. Connolly of (the Bronx, New York) planned an indoctrination course for all the future American citizens. Two army physicians, four army nurses, three civilian nurses and three Red Cross workers will take care of babies while their mothers attend the daily movies and lec tures. “A man doesn’t know how lucky he is to have just one wife, until he has to plan a trip like this,” Connolly said. He had three pic tures of his eight months old son around his cabin, "to make the women feel at home when they come in to see me.” On the diet side, for women “operation stork” will provide steak and fried chicken. For babies 108 cans of Pablum, 24 cases of condensed milk, 66 cans of corn syrup and 86 cases of strained baby food, along with fruit for juice were on shelves or in deep freeze lockers. “I got 11 cooks, and five bakers,” Palacios said. “But we’re all aw fully worried. I don’t care what nationality women are. They’re all alike and they all fuss. That’s why I’m a bachelor.” SPECIAL ENLISTING DEADLINE JAN. 31 FOR ARMY GRADES All members of the Enlisted Re serve corps, who desire to enlist in the regular Army in the grade held at the time of discharge, must enlist by January 31. After this deadline any member of the corps enlisting will be enlisted in the grade of private, in accordance with War department circular No. 7 dated January 8, 1946.
