Chf Ltj—m, Midway Park N>w» Traffic Accidents Rise At Lejeune BY DIANE A. RUSSELL NEWS FROM CAPT. CHRISMA! IS WELCOME TO EVERYONE HERE At Newport. Rhode Island. th< housing situation is just about a difficult as it is in Onslow Count; or anywhere else, for that matter according to a letter your corre spondent received this week fron Capt. A. S. Chrisman. formerl; Executive Officer at the U S. Na val Hospital, who is now talcing j special course of instruction a the Naval War College a: Newport Captain Chrisman had served a the Naval Hospital at Camp Le jeune for almost three years, anc his departure was regretted no only by the hospital staff but b) the large number of civilians, whc G & W William Penn Blended Whiskey $6 Proof «««T«i »M4YI vNMOV| IT1AWMI WMBKfYJ IN THIS rtOOUQ 4 tUM OB MORI OLD 35$ STKAMNl HY, MX NfUTIAL IflilTJ, MST1UJ9 A MOM HAM. 0 mmm i tn una, mm. ujhh 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! TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS RISE ON MILITARY BASE HERE It's not funny at all. It is really serious when you and I consider that up to Wednesday. 6 Sep", a total of 322 accidents by motor vehicles occurred on the Military base during the year 1950 thus far. which includes Midway Park as well.

PARADISE POINT By PEG McDonnell Phone 6541 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 caloosa Informal dinner parties and cocktail parties seemed to the order of the week Or. Wednesday the 30th of August. Col and Mrs R L. Demg.

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.
