gave him a "farewell" party
Captain Chrisman's letter, ir
1 part, follows:
"The housing situation here is
as difficult as in Jacksonville
, There "are no quarters at the War
. College and we haven't been able
. to find a house in Newport as yet.
Consequently. I have been living
; in B. O. Q. a: the Training Station
and my family is in Connecticut at
. my wife's sister. Our two daugh
ters have been away in Camp on
Cape Cod. They will all come to
1 Newport next week when a house
that I have leased will be avail
able. We shall be very happy to
get settled again.
The course at the War College
is certainly quite interesting. We
have British Naval officers. State
Department representatives. Air
Force. Army. Navy, and Marine
Corps officers and civilian scien
tists in the class. I am the only
medical officer in my class and
find that strategy and tactics re
quire me to burn the midnight
oil. I also find that twenty years
makes a lot of difference in did
actic work. Nevertheless. I am en
joying the course and am sure
that I shall profit a great deal as
far as any future staff work is
concerned.
We miss Camp Lejeune a
great deal and have hopes of be
ing stationed there again before
my naval career is completed."
Everyone at the Naval Hospital
hopes that a hat Captain Chrisman
voices is true—that he will come
aboard here at least once more
before he concludes his career in
the United States Navy.
And everyone who knew him
and served with him here at the
Naval Hospital — Navy or Marine
personnel and civilian alike—wish
him and his family the best of
everything in his tour of duty at
Newjairt!

total of 322 accidents by motor
vehicles occurred on the Military

far. which includes Midway Park
as well.

North Carolina really did itself
up proud by producing perfect
weather for the long labor Day
weekend The beach claimed just
about everyone who stayed at the
base—a wonderful surf and lots
of sun On Saturday night couples
relaxed at a Labor Day costume
friends joined them for a picnic
dance at the club and on Sunday at
a tea dance and buffet dinner.
General and Mrs. Clifton B.
Cates arrived from Washington to
enjoy a quiet weekend at the
beach. General Cates returned to
Washington after the holiday and
Mrs. Cates is vacationing here for
a week. On Labor Day Maj Gen
and Mrs. Ray A. Robinson and
at the beach.
Tuesday evening Maj Gen. and
Mrs. Robinson motored to Raleigh
to be the guests of the Governor
of the state, Mr and Mrs. W. K.
Scott at dinner and to attend a
performance of the Icecapades.
Mr and Mrs. Lawrence Cramer
and their son Lawrence. Jr. were
the weekend guests of Col and
Mrs. H. D Hansen. Mr Cramer
was the governor of the Virgin
Islands at the time Col and Mrs.
Hansen were stationed at the Ma
rine Corps Air Station there. He is j
now the Secretary General of the
Caribbean Commission with head
quarters at Port au Spain. Trinidad.
They are returning shortly to their ;
home there after a leave of two |
months ir. the states Also visiting |
Col. and Mrs. Hansen is Miss Lea
Cowles. who is the head of the
Child Development Department at
the University of Alabama at Tus

Informal dinner parties and
cocktail parties seemed to the
order of the week Or. Wednesday

ve&x the figure 322 means
u.b~. rs'.:. mo.n:h 38 accidents oc
urre-c In other ■aords. through
:.".r rr•:nth of August—the eighth
mc:."." of the year, a breakdown
i'i a - tha: there -were 33 automo
:;.e accidents for each of those
.-norths This is on the basis of
35 each for the eight months, al
though there could nave been 29
one month and 48 the next.
Anyway, it figures through eight
months at 38 each month. That
g.ves a total of 304 accidents.
I Leaving the month of September
alone, there are still 11 accidents
■as of this month.
At any rate, any way you look
| at it. there have been 322 acci
dents through Sept. 6, 1950. and
if you want to figure it better, or
in any other way. go ahead We
still say that its a very sorry rec
ord for Marines and civilians alike
on the Military reservation which
I includes the residents of Midway
i Park who own automobiles.
Life and injury must be very
■ cheap to some—civilians as well as
'military — but all drivers should
take care and heed these words
that were read over a national
radio network last week:
I "Here lies the body of Johnny
Gaye—
I Who certainly had the Right
of Way:
But Johnny Gaye is dead
I today.
! Even though he had the Right
of Way!"
THE NEW PARKING SPACE
IS A BIG HELP TO ALL
j The new parking space that has
been provided in the Butler Cir
Jcle area will be of much advan
tage to car owners in this section.
It adjoins the location of the pro
posed playground for children yet
to be improved, and will accommo
date approximately thirty or more
automobiles.
Owners of motor vehicles in
Midway Park should be reminded
that Camp Regulations specifical
ly state that no motor vehicles
shall "at any time" be parked or
the lawns or to the rear of any
apartment or quarters. This reg«
ulation has been violated by resi
dents of the park frequently, and
why the Military Police have not
taken action we do not konw. An>
Camp Regulation is supposed tc
be carried out to the letter.
Ctertainly. with the additiona
parking space that has been pro
vided now, the owners of automo
biles will not have to roll theii
cars up to the quarters for anj
purpose. There is available spact
for all cars in the Butler Circle
area.
The Midway Park officials anc
Camp Maintenance officers anc
workmen, and the Butler Circli
! Wives Club which inaugurated thii
movement for more parking space
are to be congratulated for th<
additional space, and all car own
era in this section should appre
ciate this needed addition.
