The primary mission of Naval photography is rec-

under the direction of Lt. Karl Globus, is equipped to
provide photos, and in peacetime, to maintain a con-
stant level of training and efficiency for all its pho <
tographers. There is assigned an SNB-2P (Photo type) fz x
aircraft and all the necessary cameras and accessory
equipment to handle the job the lab may be called
upon to do.

{. major sports such as your American and National League s '
All-Stars and All-American football stars. One of the most s

,' famous in the U. S. was Edward Weston. He was a trans- p

( continental specialist, walking from the Atlantic coast to

the Pacific, or vice-versa. He began his career in 1860 and in
t 1909, at the age of 70, he walked 3,805! miles from New Yorkto '
! San Francisco in 105 days and a year later walked from I ; #.t'W
Los Angeles to New York, 3,138 miles in 77 days.

The modern champion of distance walking William

Mihalo, of Detroit, who has been shattering old records and
hanging out new ones for several years.

While a corporal in the Army during World War II, Mi-
halo loaded himself down with a full field pack and set a

dizzy heel and toe pace as he covered 25 miles in 3 hours, 53
minutes and 21 seconds. This was the greatest performanceof
its kind in U. S. Army history.
