Explosive Laden

Vessel Is Sunk

NEW YORK, April 24 (AP)-An
explosive laden ship was sunk in
the Hudson River off Bayonne, N.
J., tonight after it had caught fire
and the police department broad-
cast a request that waterfront
residents of Brooklyn, Staten
Island and New Jersey keep their
windows open.
Acting Police Commissioner
Louis Costuma requested the
warnings be given after the ship
had burned for some time and had
been towed from its mooring at
Jersey City to a point between the
New Jersey and New York shores.
Fireboats and police launches
meanwhile had been sent to the
aid of the boat. At 9:15 p. m., East-
ern War Time, the New York Po-
lice department announced that the
ship had been sunk.
Further details were withheld.

WASHINGTON, April 24 (RP)-
As the Second War Loan rolled up

Station, and his administra-

nel, both enlisted men and

dergoing vigorous preparation
for their pait in the second
world conflict,
Birthplace of.American- history,
ancient St. Augustine has become
more than a tourist mecca. It has
become a vital part, and is play-
pig an important role, in the Va-

in the global war unparalleled in

e.i'the city's own colorfu-puest.
Here, in the Hotel Ponce de
ljeon, fabulous structure created
by the millions of Henry Morri-
.ddn Flagler, developer of Florida's
East Coast-and it seems rightly
so in these troubleous times-is
the very core of the local United
States Coast Guard Training Sta-
tion. Here, in a palatial hotel
which has sheltered Presidents and
celebrities without number since
its portcullis was- raised to admit
its first guest in 1887, are
housed today the "boots," or re-
cruit trainees. Here, too, is the
Gunnery School personnel.
On the Bayfront, in the shadow
of Castillo de San Marcos, at
Hotels Monson. and Bennett are
centered the schools for indoctrina-
tion training for newly appointed
officers in this branch of-the Naval
Service, and for advanced study.


Transition Period
Within the walls of the Ponce
de Leon, on its surrounding land-
scaped grounds where the rich
were wont to vacation, and "off-
campus" if the need arises men go
through that bewildering transi-
tion period from civil life to mili-
tary life. To the majority, it
means five weeks in which to ac-
quaint themselves with as much of
the fundamentals of their new job,
as Captain Scamme* phrases it,
as can be acquired in that length
of time. And that's no small or-
der, either, as this and other ar-
ticles will testify.
For instance, after a new "boot"
receives his clothing and stencils
his name on each article, obtains
his identification card, his "dog
tag," is interviewed, undergoes an
I. Q. test so he won't be "a square
peg in a round hole," goes through
the medical lineup and gets his
"shots," he's only just started out
on his new career for home and
country. Among other'things, he
must learn deck seamanship, sig-
nalling, gunnery, knot tying, ord-
nance, Coast Guard customs and
traditions.

Various composers tried, t pro-

as Quisling's "Fuehrer Maroh." At
the same time an order was issued
forbidding anyone to play "Sigurd

presence.

Formerly housed in the Bennett, it
was transferred to the Ponce de
Leon with the expansion of the Of-
ficers Training School in late No-
vember.
That expansion, which more
than doubled the capacity of the
Officers Training School, necessi-
tated utilizing the Bennett, for
this training activity, along with
the Monson, used only for that
purpose in the initial set-up. Of-
ficers undergo an indoctrination
course of two months and an ad-
vanced course of an additional two
months. The'indoctriniation course
primarily is for the purpose of ac-
quainting new officers who have
just come into the service from civil
life, with the customs and tradi-
tions, the various phases of service
life they ultimately may be called
upon to perform.
Officer Leaders
And in charge of all phases of
training activities in the local
Training Station, under the com-
mand of Captain Scammell, are
some 50 commissioned and warrant
officers, who comprise the adminis-
trative staff of the three schools.
Commander W. W. Kenner is ex-
ecutive officer of the Station. Com-
mander A. W. Davis is the training
officer for the recruit and gunnery
schools and Lieutenant-Command-
er O. C. Rohnke, the officer in
charge of the Officers Training
School.

fact that the Oldest City of St. Augustine
has its part in training men for Uncle Sam's
fighting forces. Many have known in a
casual way what was going on, but printer's
ink is a forceful and potent factor, and here
it is, put down in picture and printed word
for all to see,
A salute to our men and women in the
Armed Services, who are training here,,arei
stationed locally, or who come as visitors.
The Oldest City bids you welcome!
V
THERE'S NO USE FUSSING
TO be sure, it takes longer to get waited on
in stores than it did formerly. And why
shouldn't it? Store owners and clerks have
twice as much to do as they used to have.
They have to keep numberless records and
reports and statements. They have to keep
rationed goods separate from other goods,
and know all the point values, to say nothing
of collecting the stamps, and accounting for
them to the government.
Much of the hiredlielp has g6ne off to fight
or work in war plants. So the work is piled
on those who are left, and the new, inex-
perienced folks who are hired to help; out.
Tempers are short, sometimes, and you
can't always get satisfaction out' of your
.grocer and butcher.; That's not surprising,
with people lined up" three deep at the count-
ers, .and all asking questions. Perhaps the
butcher shows you a piece of meat you don't
like and you want, to see something else, and
then something else. With people piling up
behind you, trying to get his attention, and
secure service, is it any wonder if he, is
snappish? Those who can should do their
shopping in off hours, Remember, it's no
use fussing. Those are hard and difficult
times for a host of folks, and among them
are listed our merchants.
V
A GROWING VOCABULARY
OUR vocabulary grows and grows, with the
war adding daily to the stock of new
words with which an increasing number of
people are becoming familiar.
One of the new words we came across the
other day is aviationon" It means, as its
form suggests, the art of navigation in the
air, and is going to be heard more and more.
Dictionaries and their editors have a big
responsibility in keeping up with the times.
We hope they will not be as slow in accepting
'and including new words as they have been
in the past. The "Oxford Dictionary," the
largest compilation of English words, was
published gradually. 'As the letter "A" came
out in 1888,,for many years this elaborate
work did not contain the word "automobile."
The automobile and the airplane have
brought us hundreds of new words. Certain-
ly the puzzled layman should have some place
to wlich he can resort for information, and
which he can rely upon for authentic details.

Not Hearing From Home
Can Get Soldier Down
Quicker Than Anything
BY JACK STINNETT
AP Features Service Writer
WASHINGTON -- On a recent Saturday, while,
milling among the boys scuttling the free hot dogs
and beer at the National Press Club Canteen, I came
upon a fellow I had known in Texas. He .was a
sergeant in the Marines. He had been overseas.
He "used to be a newspaperman himself."
We got onto a subject that has been often talked
about, but not much by the soldiers themselves.
When I asked this chap if I could quote him, he said
"Gosh, don't use my name; it might sound maudlin,"
The subject was "mail from home."
"There's nothing that gets a soldier down quicker
than not hearing from home," he said. "I've seen
them and I know. The army knows it too and APO
is doing a whale of a job in getting the mail through
to places that up to this war didn't get a mail
packet every six months.
"If the boys in my outfit are a fair cross-section,
a guy can stand it about a week. Along about the
fifth day of no mail from home, he begins to droop
and grouse more than usual. In a week or ten days,
he's really in the dumps and that's no place for a
fighting man. But you ought to see the change of
face when the letters roll in.
"I don't know what it is, exactly; Sometimes it's
relief at knowing things are.all right with tee family
or the gal. Sometimes, it's assurances of affection
from a wife, or sweetheart, or mother. But mostly,
I think it's just that reestablishment of contact.
It's like thinking you are all alone out in a foxhole
at night, under fire, and then discovering your outfit


is all around you.
'These marines, soldiers and sailors we are turning
out are tough when there's fighting to be done, but
when it's over they're just like any other kids.
"Let me tell you about one in my outfit. We had
just answered mail call, when all hell started to
bust loose up front somewhere and we were ordered
into action pronto. The rest of the day the going
was pretty thick. The Japs still were breathing in
our faces when we dropped back to a ridge to hole
up for the night. We hadn't any more than got
settled when I noticed that one of my outfit was
missing.
"About an hour later, he came scrambling back
from the Jap lines. I asked him just where in thun-
der he had been.
"He said: 'I dropped a letter from Ma out there
that I hadn't had time to read. I had to go back and
get it.'
"Say, if you are going to write about this, there's
one thing I wish you'd stick in. Soldiers don't like
mail from people they don't know. They not only
don't like it, it makes them mad. They figure it
just takes up space and who cares anyway," he
.coniclded.
So there you are--a fighting.man's ideas on mail
from home.

One Minute With Florida Associa-
tion of Realtors.
VIOLET DUNHAM,
Executive Secretary.
The National Association of Real
Estate Boards and the National
Bar Association last year entered
into an agreement as to what con-
stitutes the practice of law and
what the practice of real estate.
This was signed by the President
of the 'National Bar Association
and the President of the National
Association of Real Estate Boards:
and approved by Realtor boards;
over the nation. Florida Realtors
are somewhat surprised to note
proposed legislation in Florida
which would seem to abrogate this
agreement. Florida Realtors are
reminding their senators and rep-
resentatives of this agreement and
urging them to abide by its terms.
Booming real estate business
throughout the state is now gen-
erally conceded even by those who
were erstwhile pessimists. Real-
tors feel that this healthy condition
of the market is due in no little
part to the efforts of the National
Realtors Washington Committee,
which was able to secure some
modification of the first drastic
regulations of OPA, as well as fif-
teen other victories, recorded in
April 10 issue of Headlines, for
the benefit of real estate and propl.
erty ownership.
.Everything seems-to go up but
.rents, according to WPB statistics
published by OWI and which should
be enlightened if taken to heart
by OPA. This shows in two years
from January, 1941, to January,
1943, food prices went up 36 per
cer cent, clothing 25 per cent, house
furnishings 23.6 but rents only 2.9.
In 1942 alone food prices rose 14.5
per cent, clothing 8.4 per cent,
house furnishings 4.7 while rents
went down .4 per cent.
Victory gardens continue to in-
crease as timely, patriotic and prof-
itable war activity of the Realtor
in many communities. Florida had
the start on victory gardens begin-
ning last October, and while the
north is just beginning to stir the
soil, Florida Victory gardens are
starting third and fourth plantings.

CASTILLO DE SAN MARCOS
NATIONAL MONUMENT, April
25-James Auchiah, a Coast
Guardsman now stationed in St.
Augustine has a real interest in
the Castillo.
In addition to wearing the shield
of the Coast Guard, Jimmy is a
Kiowa and an artist, a descendant
of the same western Indians who
were brought here to Fort Marion
by Capt. Richard Pratt in 1875.
When they learned he was
coming to St. Augustine, Jimmy's
folks told him about the place and
gave him a list of questions to an-
swer when he got here.
Our study collection contain
several drawings made by the In-
dians here some three score years
ago. We spent a good hour lis-
tening to Jimmy explaining the
details which the artists had put
into the drawings.

EASTER IN WARTIME
)EATH and destruction, and the appalling
waste in human life, and the tragedy of
Suffering weigh heavily upon us in wartime.
The United States was aa comparatively new
participant in the world-wide holocaust. last
April. We had seen things grow progressive-
ly worse as the war spread and spread, but
until the Japanese struck at Pearl Harbor on
1iDecember 7, 1941, we still seemed to think
that disaster, which had engulfed other lands,
could not touch us.
: Since. lasas waste niany of our brave '
American boys have fought the good fight,
and laid down their lives on far-off battle-
fronts; died in sea disasters, or in the air.
The sufferings of many of our people, due to
death, and the temporary loss of loved ones
listed as missing or prisoners, have been very.
great, We would not minimize those suffer-
ings, but we would emphasize that what we
have begun to experience has been the lot of
tqome nations and. some peoples for almost
,four long years. Iii the case of the Chinese,,

man life are counted in the millions. And,
,things are not any better. Those people face
starvation, torture, terror, death,
Hope is the only sustaining force.in these
Uands where there is so little, to encourage
the people.
Easter is the season, of hope. It is the
Festival which marks the transition from
despair to rejoicing; from darkness to light,;
.from tragedy to, joy. "He is risen"; "He
,that was dead is alive again"; "I am the
Resurrection and the Life"-these were the
messages given at that first Easter dawning.'
Before another Easter dawns,:we hope and
pray that the great weight of sorrow which
,now rests' uponi the world may be lifted in a
-measure; 'that the dove of peace may have
found a.resting place; that mass destruction
may have ceased; that the armies which fight
for the preservation of human rights and
dignity and freedom may be supreme; that
stricken peoples now in bondage all over the
world may find promise of a brighter, better
day, freed from the horror which now sur-
rounds them.

IT is with a feeling of great pride that the
A St. Augustine Record offers to the people
of St. Augustine, the service men located
here, and other readers of this newspaper,
scattered over a wide area, itsI Service Edi-
tion, dedicated to the men training in this
Vicinity. .
The Service Edition appropriately is spon-
sored by the Ladies Auxiliary of the Regular
Veterans Association, and the women, who
have been working in the community for
several weeks, contacting merchants and
business men generally, have met with a re-
markable response. Interest has been genu-
ine and heartfelt, when it was found what
the intent of the edition was, arid that the
sponsors would devote monies they receive
from the edition for added recreational and
entertainment features for service men in
the community.
Special editions of newspapers are of ne-
cessity rare now, due to curtailed supplies of
newsprint, metals for the making of cuts,
and shortage of other materials.
But a Service Edition such as that offered
today has a fine patriotic purpose. It is
published primarily in order to give citizens
of this community, and others who will read
the newspaper, some idea of the intensive
training being given to men in this Oldest
City, and also some conception of what is
being done for service men and women who
come here on leave from different camps and
stations in the Florida area, as well as else-
where.
None can read the various news stories in
the Record and see the numerous fine pic-
tures offered, without a thrill of pride in the

THE ST. AUGUSTINE RECORD


nery training officer at the station
here.
The band moved with the station
to Algiers, La., and thence to its
present location in St. Augustine.
Always, Comdr. D'avis has watched
over them and given them encour-
agement.
Daily -Routine
Its daily routine includes a con-
cert each noon in the mess hall
and on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings before the
station's showings of motion pic-
tures, when no other program is
scheduled.
With scarcely time out to rest a
lip pucker or an aching bow arm,
the boys frequently turn out for
dances at the Lyceum, the YMCA
'service men's center, the Civic Re-
creation Center or the Officers Club.
During the recent illness restric-
tion at the station, the band did a
bang up job of helping to prop up
the sagging spirits of the cooped
up trainees.
All this does not include those
extra jobs of playing for reviews,
parades and countless other mili-
tary activities demanding a musi-
cal accompaniment.
Chief Bandmaster
The aueit is headed by Chief-
Bandmaster John H. Sugdenf of
Akrca, Ohio, a veteran musician,
whose ambition is to boost the
organization's manpower to 25
men to create a military band
that will have St. Augustine tap-
ping its foot to, the rousing
strains of regular patriotic con-
certs. ,
For its dance work, the band:usu-

Lyceum building on South St.
George Street, was officially inaug-
urated in April, 1941. Operations
were initiated with the cooperation
of a nuclear body of volunteer
workers. Today, that number has
been augmented to the round figure
of 300 workers and approximately
250 junior hostesses. ',
Joseph R. Regna is i':dc'tor of
the club, which has enjoyed the
representative cooperation of the
following organizations in the
prosecution of its activities: the
Catholic Daughters, the Catholic
Woman's Study Club,. the National
Council of Catholic Women,. the
National Council of Catholic Men,
the Knights of Columbus, the
American Legion and its auxiliary,
the Veterans of Foreign Wars and
its auxiliary, the Elks, civic officials
and others, including members of
the Fire Department.
Beach Project
Among the outstanding activities
is the Beach Project, operated last
year under the joint, auspices of
the. NCCS and YMCA USO'A and
which will be resumed this 'sum-
mer. This proved a popular and
successful outdoor activity in whictn
hundreds of service, men partici-
pated, they being transported free
to and from the local beaches.
Bathing suits and towels were fur-
nished without charge.
In the Lyceum auditorium, Coast
Guard trainees assemble each Fri-
day night for the weekly Recruit
Shows, staged and produced by and


for t'he men. Through the courtesy
of the NCCS, the shows are pre-
sented 'from the Lyceum stage.
Part of the programs go over- the

Friday the final game party was
held. The prize winners were: at

left the city, or will leave this
coming week. ,All feel that they

club officers say.


ley Ellertson; musician, second
class, of Aurora, Ill., who is also a
vocalist.
Tied in closely with the band in
the entertainment end of its baili-
witk, are the men and officers who
plan and stage the popular Recruit
Shows each Friday night at the
Lyceum.
Recruit Shows
This job falls largely on the
shoulders of William O'Neil, sea-
man, second class of Whiting, Ind.,
who is master of ceremonies; Ed-
ward Godin, seaman, first class, of
New York City, who is over-all pro-
ducer, and John Thompson, seaman,
second class, of Kansas City, Mo.,
who is musical director.
This trio combs the station for
talented recruits, writes scripts and
novelty songs and coordinates the
music and skits. They have the ad-
vice and counsel of the Catholic
chaplain,, Lieut. (j.g.) F. J. Till-
man,, and the Protestant chap-
lain, Lieutenant (j.g.) B. F. Janes.
That they work well together is
testified to by the enthusiasm with
which the Coast Guard audience
greets each show-an enthusiasm
that would be conspicuously absent
if the shows were poorly and shod-
dify done.
Give a St. Augustine Coist,
Guardsman a trumpet he can
-blow, a fiddle he can scrape or a
song he can sing, and he'll show
in no mean musical terms his
pride of service.

MIAMI, Fla.-Thirteen years
ago, when the good neighbor policy
was still a gleam in the nation's
eye, the welcome mat was spread
here for South America by Mrs.
Clark D. Steams, wife of a retired
naval captain who had been sta-
tioned in various Caribbean coun-
tries. She watched the Latin tem-
perament through two incipient
revolutions, sitw that little love was
lost between the two continents
and decided something must be
done about'it.
Mrs. Stearns has developed over
those 13 years the international
Pan American League, an institu-

United Staes and most of the coun-

bership lists about 20,000 men,
women and children, all dedicated
to developing more cordial rela-
tions among the peoples of the
western hemisphere.
Through its language institute,
the league has sponsored free
classes in Spanish and Portuguese.
In South America, it encourages
classes in English.
Through its 200 student leagues
in high schools' and colleges,

AMERICA'S EDUCATIONAL NEED

()nly 3% of the population are college graduates, more than eight million
have had some college education but have been unable to graduate, and at
least 65,000 clergymen have not completed both college and seminary.

There is no recognized university in this country that will permit this
worthy group to complete their education by Home Study, write examina-
tions under supervision and graduate with degree. Certain degree courses
of a questionable type have been offered, especially to ministers, but these
courses cannot meet the need since they do not provide the full standard of
training in.absentia.

THE UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION and the American Theological Semi-
nary were established to meet this need. Like the University of London,
we offer you the opportunity to prepare for the supervised examinations
by Home Study and graduate with diploma or degree. Prepare TODAY
for TOMORROW'S success. Begin at once by writing for information.

WHY NOT AN EDUCATIONAL VACATION NOW?

If you plan at some time to enroll for one of our Home Study courses lead-
ing to regular graduation, you will receive, without extra charge, the serv-
ices of an educational counselor while at St. Augustine, who will help plan
a Home Study course to meet your particular need. You need not begin
your course until you are ready to do so.

This will enable you to know the institution personally and examine its
methods thoroughly before beginning your course*of study.

LONDON--- Britain's Isle oJ
Man, out in the Irish Sea about
forty miles away from the Cumber-
land coast, is something of a
dream isle.
For 70 cents you can still sil
down-if you are hungry-to steak,
eggs, sausages, ham, peas, onions
fried potatoes, roll butter and cof-
fee.
The island is not subjected to
British rationing laws. It also has
its own, income tax ranging from
four cents on the dollar for in-
comes up to $2,000, to 13 cents on
the dollar for those over $20,-
000 yearly.
Man was bought by the British
in the early 19th century, but the
islanders still defer to the supreme
authority of the British govern-
ment only when the island is
named specifically in British en-
actments.
There is a Manx language, but
only 500 out of the population of
50,000 stick to their peculiar brand
of Gaelic. They all speak English,

SUfNDAY, APRIL U, 190


THE ST. AU USTINE RECORD


td return to their old jobs; but they
have been given no promise about
wages. This is another reason why
the present employers paying high-
er wages for war workers will be
compelled to let these war workers
go after peace is declared. The
only way most employers can take
back former employees, who were
drafted into the services, will be
by discharging those who have
stayed home cashing in at high
wages, while their brothers suffer-
ed hell in the South Sea Islands
for fifty dollars per month.
Higher Wages Now Mean More
Grief Later
I repeat that all you war workers
are now living in a fool's paradise.
No labor leaders nor politicians
can prevent a terrible crash in the
labor market after World War. II.
Furthermore, the higher John L.
Lewis and. the Railroad Unions
push up wages now, the greater
the fall will be and the more grief
after peace comes. Will the United
States, after peace comes, use any
more ,coal than was used in 1939 ?
No! Miners must again then go
back to three days a week. Will
the railroads, after peace comes,
haul any more people or freight
than they did in 1939? No-not
so much! Hence, after World War
H great unemployment will exist
among' coal and railroad workers.
I believe in labor unions the same
as I believe in corporations. To
have workable unions, they also
must have well-paid officials the
same as do successful corporations.
My: message this week is simply
this: These union labor'officials are
as blind to present wage conditions
today as were the corporation offi-
cials blind to business conditions
in 1929. These labor leaders are
leading their union members for a
terrible fall and disappointment
the same as the corporation officials
led their stockholders to disaster
in 1929. I hope every war worker
now getting high wages will cut
out this article and paste it on his
wife's mirror to read from now
until the war ends!
What War Worker Should Now Do
What can you as a war worker
do about it? You.can't be blamed

dent, had sold $951,925 worth up to
April 21st.
The point is made that"many
places cannot and some will not
reach the quota, so every com-
munity which can and will buy
bonds to the utmost is being urged
to do so.
Notable Upswing
A notable upswing in bond buy-
ing has been recorded all over the
country, it is stated; since the news
was given concerning the execution
of American fliers by the Japan-
ese.
In Emphatic Terms
It is evident, local officials of the
drive say that there is a determina-
tion in most places to help make
the Second War Loan such an :over-
whelming success that it will speak
in emphatic terms of the determi-
nation of the American people to
finance the war, and raise colossal
sums of money for such financing.
War Bonds are a good'invest-
ment, it is emphasized-an invest-
ment in American safety, and se-
curity-an investment designed to
help our fighting men--and an in-
vestment which will serve as a fi-
nancial protection for the individ-
ual and his family in post-war
days,

Warning that. grave problems lie
ahead as manpower shortages in-
-crease, Brig. Gen. Vivian Collins,
State Director of Selective Serv-
ice, said local boards soon will be
forced into a category of regis-
trants of a high degree of domes-
tic dependency and responsibility
-the registrant with wife and
child or children.
Therefore, he reminds employers
that physically fit military age
registrants who are not. eligible
for dependency deferment must be
released from industry at an early
date. In the future, Local Boards
must be satisfied by appropriate
evidence that industry has made
a reasonable effort to secure and
train replacements before consid-
eration will be given to further
deferment of men in this category,
"The one resource that is a
common requirement in every
phase of our war effort," says
General Collins, '!is manpower. It
is the essential ingredient. It is a
prime factor in producing min-
erals, metals, lumber, and raw
materials; in fabricating muni-


essential services; in producing
foods and fibers as well as in act-
ually fighting the enemy.
"For several years now the
transition from a peace economy
to defense economy, to war eco-
nomy has resulted in serious.dis-
locations in the economic life of
our Nation and the utilization of
our productive manpower.
"Early in'1940 we began the
greatest "rearmament and defense
progress in our history," he con-
tinued.
"Increased strength quotas for,
the Army, Navy, Marine Corps,
Air Forces, and Coast Guard in-
augurated high pressure r-ecruit-
ing drives for volunteers in the
armed services.
"In September of that year, the
Selective Training and Service
Act was passed.
."1941 was a period of spirited
competition between the armed
forces and expanding defense in-
dustry for the cream of America's
manpower. During that year
about two million people, previous-
ly not engaged in productive work,
were added to our working and
armed forces-an increase from
54.2 million in December, 1940,
to 56.1 million iit December, 1941.
"Those who went into the armed
forces and 'mushrooming' indus-
tries were almost all healthy
young men-quick to. learn new
techniques and not hampered by
dependents or other attachments.
The. flow of manpower from one
activity to another was uriregulat-
ed except by Selective Service.
"During 1942, three million peo-
ple, previously not engaged in
productive work, were added to
our working and armed forces--
an increase from 52.3 million in
December, 1941, to 58.8 million
in December, 1942."
The State Selective Service Di-
rector further explained that' the
*rigors of service in the armed
forces make it necessary to draw
men of certain physical require-
ments and within certain age
groups for use in the armed forces.
"Information received from re-
liable sources," he said, "indicate
that there were in 1940, only four-
teen million men in this country
,who could qualify as to age and
physical requirements for entrance
into the armed force.: From this
group the total strength, of the

armed forces, ten or eleven mil-
lion men must be drawn. Many
of. these men are now occupying
essential positions in industry


STATE SELECTIVE
SERVICE DIRECTOR


In this historic old building,
the State Arsenal on Marine
Street. whose Parade Grounds
overlook Matanzas Bay, are cen-
tered the Military Department
*of the -" "')rida and the
State's Selective Service Head-
quarters. Presidin:: over both is
Brig. Gen. Vivian Collins, Ad-
jutant General of Florida and
Director of Selective Service for
this state.
Its historic walls have with-
stood fire, shot and shell. Origin-
ally a Franciscan Monast y, it
later became St. Francis Bar-
racks. For years 'past, it has
been known as the State Arsenal.
It is one of the city's oldest
landmarks, records of the build-
ing showing it was partially de-
stroyed and rebuilt several times
before Florida was ceded to the
United States in 1821.


2 after Florida ? came a part
of 'lhe States, the building serv.
ed for a time as a jail; later, in
1832, Congress passed an act
setting aside the Military Re-,
servation if St. Francis Bar-
racks. During the Seminole In.
dian wars, 'his post was head-
qua .-.., for troops operating in
south and central Florida. Until
some time after the Spanish-
American War, it was occupied
by the regular army. It was first
leased to the State of Florida,
and later an act of Congress
transferred it to the state for
military purposes. In 1915, it was
gutted by fire. It was not re-
built until 1923.
First records of this property
as verified from old Spanish
documents relate that the Fran-
ciscan Monastery Neustra Senora
de la Concepcion originally oc-
cupied the spot, having been.


built of logs in the year 1588.
The convent and fortifications
were destroyed by fire in 1599.
Three years later the King of
Spain sent 800 ducats to restore
them, and in' 1610 selected the
newly built convent as the Cap-
itular House of Santa Elena de
la Florida. /
On August 1, 1907, the then
unoccupied reservation was leas.
ed to the State of Florida for
the use of the National Guard,
and the Adjutant General's of-
fice changed, to St. Augustine
from Tallahassee.
It was in the Fall of 1940, that
it became also headquarters for
State Selective Service.
The adjacent Military Reserva.
tion extends southward to the
National Cemetery, both build-
ings and grounds. being beauti.
fully kept.

ARKANSAS CITY, Kas, (AP)-,
Police believe they have a pretty

he fled in terror after being inter-

while many others have been de-
ferred from service as fathers.
"To obtain the required num-
ber of men for the armed forces,
it is evident that many of these
men now deferred must be releas-
ed for induction. Men who are
above the age group for service,
who have disqualifying physical
defects, and women, are urged to
make plans to become engaged in
essential occupations in order that
those men now occupying these
essential positions may be releas-
ed to the armed forces."

This County

Has Over 1,200

In The Service

Up to March 3lst, St. Johns
County, mother county of Florida,
had seen 1,211 of her men off to
war. Of that number, the Army
claimed the greater portion, 766
in all. To the Navy went 333 more;
to the Marines, 42.and to the Coast
Guard, 70.
According to figures released by
Brig. Gen. Vivian Collins, A.d-
jutant General of Florida and Di-
rector.of Selective Service for this
state, St. Johns County's volun-
tary enlistments through March
31st, inclusive, total 665. There
have been 546 inductions, out of a
total of 2,448 white registrants and
1,498 negro registrants.
Included in the 1,211 men from
this city and county who have
voluntarily enlisted for service or
been inducted under the Selective
Service Act, are 984 whites and
227 negroes, the breakdown of
figures shows.
Serving on all battle fronts, on
land, sea and in the air, St. Au-
gustine and St. Johns County have
good reason 0 hbe proud of her
gallant sons.

GIVE 'EM THE BEST YOU'VE GOT!

On land, at sea, in the air, the U. S. Armed Services can beat
the life out of our enemies! And every one of us at home can
help by putting our dollars into War Bonds! Think it over-are
you doing all you can to back up our fighting men? Remember,
Uncle Sam isn't asking you for a gift-he's asking you to loan
YOUR dollars to save YOUR Freedom and YOUR way of life,

Sermon,

In

Tabloid
Zy JOHN BRITTAN CLARK, D.D.
"He that heareth my word
and believeth on him that sent
me is passed from, death
unto life."-John 5:24.
Easter celebrates the "resurrec-
tion of Christ. Of His resurrection
there can be no justifiable doubt.
By every, historical test it is the
most proven thing in the ,world.
It is the foundation of Christianity
anrd the Christian church. On it
is based the fact of personal sur-
vival after death. 'These two great
truths, like the Christmas star,
glorify the dark sky of human life.
The New Testament mentions
another resurrection, different but
none the less real. We all have
a kind of life we want to live,
feel we should live, but are pre-
vented by many things from living.
This suppression of the yearned-for
life is what the Bible calls "dying
unto self;""
Christ had many deaths before
He died on the cross. No life mod-
elled after Christ's can escape these

JACKSONVILLE-Florida has
2,991 men and women licensed, to

Of this group, .965 doctors who

deaths. One, for the sake of his
spiritual self, gives up his cher-
ished sin. He dies unto his lower
self and rises from that death into
new life. One for the sake of an-
other gives up his cherished plan.
He dies unto self. For the.sake
of right one swallows his pride
and is quiet. He dies. All this is
far from pleasant. It is a real
crucifixion of self. Paul found it
so. He said, "I die daily."
The Easter vision is to see that
life does not end with' death and
crucifixion; that these are preludes,'
only, to richer, finer, diviner life
here and now as well as then, and
there. Do you see this ? Then you
have the Easter vision.


Season's Series Of
"Tabloid Sermons"
Concluded Today
The St. Augustine Record has
carried again this season a series
of "Tabloid Sermons" by the Rev.
John Brittan Clark, D.D., retired
minister. Doctor Clark has con-
cluded his seasonal stay here, and
the final "Tabloid Sermon" for this
year appears today, conveying an
Easter message.
Many readers of the Record have
stated that they found these brief
messages helpful, and that they
have preserved them in scrapbooks
for future reference. This is pleas-
ing to Doctor Clark, who for so
long filled a pulpit in a large
church, and who is glad to continue
to have a. congregation, reached
through the press.

The story of a 23-hour swim in
shark-infested waters off Guadal-
canal following the sinking of his
ship, the MISS Little, was told by
Chief Boatswain's Mate Vernon
A. Suydam, U. S. Coast Guard, of
Sayville, Long Island, upon taking
up his new station at Toms River,
New Jersey.
Suydam, who spent several weeks
recuperating from his ordeal, in
base hospitals in the Pacific, was
one of 12 Coast Guardsmen assign
ed to the Little, and was handling
small boats during landing opera-
tions off Guadalcanal -immediately
preceding the attack in which his
vessel was sunk
"I was at my gun post when two
Jap cruisers and three destroyers
came, upon as," said Suydam. "The
Little andr the Gregory were: on
patrol around Guadalcanal that
night. The Japs let loose with all
they had. They blasted out our
stern rear and bridge, and knocked
out our controls. When the aban-
don ship order was given, the Little
was zigzagging all over the place
at full speed ahead."
Suydam, wearing his life jacket,
leaped off,the bow,.wrenching his
back as he hit the water.
"There were seven of us group-
ed together is the water' when
one of the Jap.cruisers came by,"
he continued. "It picked us up with
its searchlight and peppered us
with machine guns. Four of the
men were killed and one was
wounded. A Navy lieutenant and I.
were the only ones unharmed'.
"I took one, of the wounded men,
also a Navy lieutenant, in tow,
picking out the right directionto
swim by the position of the great
dipper. It was the darkest night
I've ever seen."
Suydam then told how he swam
for six hours with the officer' in
tow before discovering that- he had
died, .
"It was ,dawn by this time,"
Suydam continued.: "I could see
land ahead, but it was still a good
distance off. Twice during the day
American planes flew over, but
missed seeing me. I fired a pistol
I had, taken with me, but they
couldn't hear it, and I threw it
away-it was too heavy."
All that day and well into the
next night, Suydam managed to
keep afloat. Finally, 23 hours after
leapingfrom his ship, he stagger-
ed ashore, his body a mass of
blisters from third-degree sun-
burn. Crawlingup on the beach,
he slept till dawn.
"It was awakened," he said, "by
the sun, and figured my location
to be the northwest tip of Guadal-
canal. I started to walk east along


the beich, but the coral was too
rough onmy bare feet and I made
my way through the jungle. It was
about "20 miles to the American
lines,I but I. made it by dusk. Al-
though I was in enemy territory
during most of my walk, I didn't
see a single Jap."
After ,a day and a half in the
Marine hospital on Guadalcanal,
Suydam was transferred to a hos-
pitl. on another island, where he
stayed month before being trans-
ferred to the United States.
Suydam's father is a Chief
Boatswain,in the Coast Guard, and
he has a brother who Is a Lieute-

now serving their country who will
probably be called upon to main-
tain the large army required in a
post-war world, will have every
possible benefit secured for them,
and all past gains safe-guarded;
that the many disabled service
men of the past may be looked
after in the future; that the men
who are disabled or maimed in this
war will have every consideration
in the future.

SERVICE MEN'S WIVES SUCCESSFUL IN OBTAINING SPLENDID
SUPPORT FOR THIS SPECIAL EDITION


Entertainment

At Civic Center

For Service Men

Since 1935 Buildin.g Has
Served Community And
Its People Well
St. Augustine's Civic Recreation
Center, located just north of the
ancient City Gates, has served the
community well since its hospitable
doors were opened wide in Febru-
ary of 1935. It houses the office
of the St. Augustine and St. Johns
County Chamber of Commerce, and
until its facilities were required to
help care for the service men sta-
tioned in this area, it was enter-
tainment headquarters for the local
Tourist Club.
Constructed by the old CWA,
FERA and City of St. Augustine
at a cost-of $68,000, it was form-
ally dedicated with a three-day
celebration and program which be-
gan with' special exercises on Feb-
ruary 14, 1935 at which State
FERA Administrator Julius ,T.
Stone was a guest.
Today, the Civic Recreation Cen-
ter is -devoted almost entirely to
the entertainment of service men
and women in their off-duty m-o
ments. Its auditorium also serves
aa a lecture and demonstration hall
for Military, Police training com-
panies.
Each week-end, there is a regu-
lar schedule of 'entertainment,
which is highlighted by the lrge-
ly attended Saturday-night dances
with the popular Coast Guard Or-
chestra providing the musical back-
ground. .On Sunday, informal
dancing usually, is in progress. The
various game facilities and out-
door courts, the writing and read-
ing rooms all are much-appreciated
features.
Especially popular is the recent
innovation of a canteen, where
service men and Service Club host-
esses may secure simple refresh-
ments. This is in operation on both
Saturday and Sunday.
During the week days, civie or-
ganizations are privileged to use
the auditorium, provided'permis-
sion has been obtained in advance
from the City Commission., Serv-
ice men's recreational prograins
there are under the auspices of. the
Recreational Division of the St.
Johns County Defense Gouncil.

New York Yanks

Blank Senators

By 1-0 Margin

NEW YORK, April 24 (P)-
Spud Chandler, 33-year-old right
hander from Moultrie, Ga., pitched
the New'York Yankees to a one-hit,
1-0 victory over the Washington
Senators before a sparse crowd, of
8,157 in Yankee 'Stadium today.
One of the aces of Joe'McCar-
thy's mound staff for several years,
Chandler was nicked for a double
just inside the left field foul line
by the first batter to face him, El-
lis Clary, Senator rookie third base-
man, but thereafter was supreme.
Chandler rolled up seven strike-
outs, getting Centerfielder Stan
Spence on strikes four times in a
row. He was in trouble only-in
the seventh when the. Senators
filled the bases on three of the five
walks Chandler gave up. Here a
fast double play, Bill Johnson to
Rollie Hemsley to Nick Etten, re-
tired the side.
The'Yankees themselves got on-
ly four hits off. Ewald Pyle and
Owen Scheetz but pushed over the
only run of the game in the opening
inning when George Stirnweiss'.
single was followed by a walk to
Charley Keller and. a single into
center field by Nick Etten, new
Yankee first baseman.

Indians Win
CLEVELAND, April 24 ( Jeff Heath singled two runs home
in the ninth inning today, reached
third with the aid' of an error, and
tallied when Catcher Paul Richards,
threw into left field, on, an attempt-
ed pickoff at third base to give the.
Cleveland Indians a 3 to, 2 tri-
umph over the Detroit Tigers.

A's Shade Sox
PHILADELPHIA, April 24 (RP)-
Dick Siebert's fly with the bases
loaded scored Elmer'Valo inthe
12th inning today to give the Phil-
adelphia Athletics a 7 'to: 6 vic-
tory over the Boston Red Sox.
Chicago Triumphs
ST. LOUIS, April 24 ()--Be-
hind Lefty Ed Smiith's six-hit pitch-
ing, the Chicago White Sox
trimmed the St. Louis Browns,: 3 to
1, today. The Sox nicked Denny
G-alehouse for eight hits.

SO Tubac told the marshal that
he was the man who had put
the bum money into Hi Grab's
bank. "But how did I know it was
bum money" he growled. "I toolk
it in payment of a debt-an' I
supposed the guy was a gentle-
man."
Jinx Mueller eyed him dubious-
ly. "Lack of knowledge is a poor
excuse," he said grimly. "You
had quite a real pile of jack, an'
you ain't got the look of having
forty-five cents..What would a
man be owin' you all that money
for? I'm not promising anything.
but if you don't come clean, by
the gods you'll stay here till hell
freezes! Now what about this
money? Who's the guy that owed
it to you? Aun' when did he pay
you?. An' Why?"
The way Tubac told it was quite
an involved story. Boiled down it
summed up to just this: Two-
three -years ago he had a small
spread in Texas, close to the
Border; had been raising horses
for the army-and doing well at
it, too, until one night his place
had been raided and half his best
stock- run off. Revolutionists fromp
across the Line, he'd guessed, ani
a couple hours later he'd had con-
firmation when a bunch of Rur-
ales had come up, hot on the trail
of the bandits.
A hard looking outfit and eager
for the kill; and their Captain-
a great ox of a man with a fierce
mustachio-had demanded he give
them fresh horses. Though not too
keen on the notion, a number of
considerations had swayed Jones.
The Rurales' mounts had been
pretty whipped out, but they'd
been first-class broncs in anyone's
language; and besides, though
Jones knew the company had
been out of boutids, he had
wanted the horse thieves cap-
tured. So he'd nodded agreement
and the Rurales had cleaned out
the last horse he'd left and gone
off driving their own broncos.
"W~THAT!" exclaimed Mueller in-
V credibly. "You let 'em clear
out with nothing to prove-".
"Well, they seemed to figure
they'd ought to have remounts
and the Captain, he give me his
note fer the stock-said if they
didn't git back to return it he'd
send me the money next day."
"But you still ain't, explained
how you got that fake currency.'
Mueller said.
"If you'd shut up a spell 1 could
git to it. Like I was fixin' to tell
you, before them Rurales gal-
loped off with my stock this Cap-
tain feller he give me his note,
an' when he seen me next time he
paid me off.
"How' much?" said Jinx Mueller
"Five thousand bucks!"
Jinx whistled. "An' you expect
me to believe you hung onto that
money all this time?"
"He only give it to me two
months ago."
Muelle jtst stood there and
gaped. ..
"Well, its the truth." Tubac
grumbled.
"An' you're claiming' this queer
you been shovlh' is the dinero
this Captain give you?"
"Honor bright," Jones muttered.
"Hmmm. What did this Rurale
bird look like?"

"I'd say he was tall gaunt an'
some quick. Dark an deep-set
eyes. Square chin-waa in need
of a barber's services last time I
saw him across the line. below
Naco."
"Below Naco, eh?" said Jinx
thinly. "An',what'd.you say his
name was?" '
"Chacon- Tubae stopped
short.
"Yeah,' snarled Jinx andr
started swearing. "You've sure
played hell all round, you have!
Augustine Chacon! You bone-.
head! That guy's no more Rurale
than you arel Next to Joaquin
Murrieta he's the toughest Mex
who ever went bronc! There's
twelve thousand reward on that
hombre's pelt an' you give him
horses to ride off onl"
"But-" protested Tubac, "he
was dressed like a Rurale an' the
rest of 'em called him Captain..
How was I to know different? An'
all them 'others was dressed like
Rurales-"
"In stolen uniforms prob'ly
stripped off their owners' carcas-
ses," Jinx Mueller came back at
him caustically.
"Well, I guess your yarn's
straight," he said dourly. "I don't
hardly guess no man would make
up a spiel dumb as that is."
But Tubac said nothing., There
was nothing to say. He'd been
taken in like a booby.
IT was a greatly sobered Tubae
Swho 'turned into the Charlston
trail that night; once again
headed back toward Horse Prai-
rie. He felt lower than a centi-
pede's belly.
But where had Chacon got hold
of that counterfeit money? If re-
ports of th? wily outlaw held
truth he had been much too busy
hiding his trail to have any tirfe
left over, for turning out counter-
feit currency. So it must have
been given him-or else he had
stole it- from someplace. There
were a lot of real likable things
about Chacop; there was a lot of
Robin Hood in the bandit, which
inclined Tubac to think he had
worked for that money hadl
earned it for satisfaction ren-
dered. ..
But to hit on the name of the
outlaw's employer was a deal too
much like hunting the proverbial
hay-hid needle. For all Tubac
knew the spurious money might
well have been printed in Mexico.
He rather inclined to the belief
that it had.
With a scowl Tubae dismissed
the whole business and turned his
mind to thoughts of Su-e. Not to
say that his thoughts were seri-
ous. He might be the boneheaded
yap Jinx had called him, but his
head wasn't solid ivory. There'
were not going to be any gal's
apronstrings hitched onto Tubac
Jones. by grab!
But she was a dang nice critter
just the same, but'he wasn't going
to think of her serious. Too many
guys had got hooked in ;hat
fashion-and some of them right
good poker-players, too. Girls
were all right if you just kept
your head; too much girl- Well,
anyway, she was handsome as an
ace-:ull on kings, and the pros-
pect of taking her horsebacking
some night was nothing to ,get
the creeps about.

CountyFarmers

And Cattlemen

.Do Their Bit

Cattlemen and farmers of St.
Johns County will provide' during
1943 tons of beef and produce to
aid the nation's war effort.
The demand for 'more food to
feed our armed forces, civilians,
and the peoples of other nations
is being answered by cattlemen
and farmers throughout the county.
For some time, county cattlemen
have been improving and increas-
ing their stock. Pure-bred cattle,
chiefly Angus, have been imported
to improve the stock of native cat-
tle. Registered Angus cows and
bulls are now found' in' herds
throughout the county. This means
better beef to meet the nation's
growing demand. Cattlemen are
busy doing spring branding of-
calves and sending improved stock
to markets.
During the 1942-43 season, coun-
ty farmers have shipped tons upon
tons of cabbage out of the Hast-
ings-Elkton farmlands. Digging
of the county's Irish potato crop
is expected to get under way this
week and continue through May.
The Irish potato crop was damaged
by cold snaps during the latter
part of the winter and the produc-
tion will be short of past years,
farmers say.
A diversified farming program,
which is being encouraged by Coun-
ty Farm Agent H. E. Maltby, will
raise other produce during 1943 to
help the nation's "food war."

We Acknowledge-

Our grateful appreciation to all those who helped make this
Special Service Edition possible.
This is the joint expression of thanks voiced by the St. Au-
gustine Record and the sponsors of this "salute to our fighting
men and women," the Ladies Auxiliary of the Regular Veterans
Association, St. Augustine Post No. 315.
Without the splendid cooperation accorded the sponsors and
the Record's editorial and advertising staffs, this printed and
pictorial tribute and welcome from the city and its people to
members of the large military and naval colonies here, would have
been impossible.
Making valuable and much appreciated contributions to the
edition was Yeoman Third Class Jack Anderson, a former news-
paperman who is assigned to the Zon6 Naval Public Relations
Office here. Various other individuals also cooperated splendidly
in this respect, and have our sincere thanks.
In the interests of security, all Naval matter used was cleared

Coast Guard s "Recruit"

Training


Here


Centered


In Hotel Ponce de Leon


Two Experienced

Officers Achieve

Excellent Results

Transitory Period Of Boot
Trainees Well-Balanced,
Outline Shows
By ADELAIDE SANCHEZ
Purpose of St. Augustine's
Coast Guard Training Station,
insofar as recruits are con-
cerned, is to assist them in
their transformation from a
civilian to a member of the
U. S. Coast Guard; to outfit
them with uniform clothing;
to give them.a basic course of
instruction and to lay a foun-
dation for future self-improve-
ment and advancement in the
service.
On the capable, broad shoulders
of two men and their staffs rest
the achievement of that goal. Com-
mander A. W. Davis of New York,
N. Y., is the recruit and gunnery
training officer and Lieutenant-
Commander J. J. Hutson, Jr., of
Wilmington, N. C., assistant train-
ing officer.
Formerly commanding officer of-
Ellis Island Training Station in
New Yor k, Commander Davis
moved with that station to Algiers,
New Orleans, where he was C. O.
in 1940-42; then, the station was
moved again, this time t& St. Au-
gustine. An officer of considerable
service, background and ability, he'
is well qualified to be the training
officer in charge of the gunnery
school and recruit training, under
the Station's commanding officer,
Captain W. K. Scammell.
SLieut.-Comdr. Hutson was grad-
uated from the Coast Guard Acad-
emy in 1933 and has had over seven
years of sea duty on the Atlantic
coas.t,.. .ad -on -the .Great -.alee,
where he last served on an "ice-
breaking" cutter. He, too, was
transferred here from New Or-
leans, his wife and son still being
located there. At Algiers, he was
the training officer, a fact which
attests to his capabilities.
Lieutenant (j.g.) John Dalin and
Lieutenant (j.g.) Peter Marcoux
are assistant training officers, they
also coming here from Algiers.
Both have been in the Coast Guard
a long time with considerable ser-
vice and experience. The latter
also is the recruit, gunnery officer.
Duties of an assistant training
officer are defined as: making up
drill schedules for the recruits;
instructing the company and as-
sistant company commanders as to
how these schedules should be car-
ried out; going out into the field
and supervising instructions of
recruits; ascertaining if the re-
cruits are receiving the proper
instruction from their company
commanders.
In addition to being the assistant
training officer, Lieut-Comdr. Hut-
son also is the welfare officer. To
him go the men who need loans
because of financial difficulties or
family troubles, and if upon inves-
tigation and questioning their
problems are found to be genuine,
they are given loans from the wel-
* fare frnd-without interest.
A certain percentage of the prof-
its of the ship's service stores,
which include the barber shop, the
tailor shop, the laundry and the
canteen, forms the welfare fund.
This fund is used for the welfare of
the crew and from it, small loans
are made to enlisted personnel who
need the money for dire emergency.
FROM INDUCTION CENTERS
At the present time, men enter-
ing recruit training at the Ponce
de Leon Hotel come directly from
the induction centers.
.Upon their arrival, they are
given complete physical and dental
examinations, chest X-rays, receive
their typhoid and tetnus inocula-
tions and smallpox vaccination.
Personally interviewed, their capa-
bilities, characteristics and desires
are catalogued. Then come tests--
social studies, arithmetic, mechan-
ical aptitude.
"The Bluejackets Manual is the
recruits' Bible," Commander Hut-
son states, "and this is supple-
mented with our own training
pamphlet compiled and published
at this station for our own use."
Outfitted with uniform clothing,
the "boots" are taught to properly
mark their name on each article.
and how to stow it compactly.


Then they are ready for their
indoctrination course which lasts
from four to twelve weeks, "de-
pending upon the needs of the ser-.
vice." The course consists of in-
doctrination, seamanship, military
courtesy, customs of the service,
basic ordnance, use of small arms.
Physical training is incorporated,

change from civilians to blue jackets.


and stressed, in the routine sched-
ule. The men are taught signals,
the Coast Guard method of resusi-
tation, infantry drill (which is
highly stressed for disciplinary
purposes), chemical warfare, how
to use gasmasks and so on.
Self-protection. is all-important,
so there's a "get tough" course.
This consists of boxing and judo.
Then there's running the obstacle
course for better physical trim.
In the seamanship course, the
"boots" are taught the duties of
'their rating-seamen. (They come
into the Station as Apprentice Sea-
n%4.. and if their record is. clean,
after "four month$ they are pro-
.~).Stfi ..fSe.Lan, Second Class,
rating. Further promotions de-
pend upon the man, especially in
wartime, when promotions are
made as the individual proves his
fitness for such.)
A first aid course is considered
essential, as are bayonet drill and
exercises.
Under ordnance, instructors
teach the, men how to use all the
firearms with which the Coast
Guard is equipped.
Boat drills, under oars and sails,
are an interesting and required,
phase .of the "boot" course.
For purposes of discipline and
health, the first three weeks are
designated as the recruits' isolation
period, no liberty being granted
until at the end of that time. With
those three weeks behind them-
and to the majority of the recruits,
the days are so full they pass
quickly--they are given liberty
Saturday afternoon to midnight,
and Sunday afternoon to midnight
BATTALION REVIEWS
Regular -attalion reviews for
the senior companies are held, with
the winning company receiving two
hours extra liberty that particular
week-end. Pulling boat races are
staged in the Matanzas Bay, with
the winning boat crews being
awarded prizes for their efficiency.
These prizes usually are cigarettes,
two packs per man for first and
one for second place, furnished by
the Welfare Fund.
Organized athletics, with intra-
company competition in the various
field sports, are a necessary and
welcome part of "boot" training.
The men compete in such popular
games as soft ball, badminton,
volley ball, touch football, basket-
ball and even pitch horseshoes.
COMPANY COMMANDERS
The company commanders are
Chief Petty Officers and the assis-
tant company commanders are
petty officers and selected non-
rated men who are the platoon
leaders. The assistants have been
chosen and trained by the Station
from the recruit ranks in most
cases. These men are the back-
bone of the training station. The
chiefs are all men of long service
and experience and deserve most
of the credit for the success of this
station in turning out trained Coast
Guardsmen in a short period of
time.
These company commanders,
bless them, are father, mother,
brother, sister and instructor to
their crewmen. That sounds like
a big assignment in any language,
and it is. It's also one they set out
to achieve with all the tact, patience
and skill at their command.
MEDICAL CARE
When be joins the Coast Guard,
each recruit is given a clothing al-
lowance to take care of. his uni-
form needs. Recruits with depend-
ends are permitted the family al-
lcwance. At their own request, i


they are issued Government insur-
-nce in amounts from $1,000 to
10,000, and premium payments
are deducted from the man's pay
each month. They are given medi-
cal care at no charge, all service
personnel being taken care of by
the U. S. Public Health Service.
At the Ponce de 'Leon, there is a
complete medical department, well-
equipped and competently staffed,
which cares for every physical need
of the men.
During their training, the re-
cruits are given opportunity to se-
lect certain schools offered to the
enlisted men in the Coast Guard.
If they meet the rigid requirements
and qualifications foir such'schobls,
they are ordered to them upon com-
pletion of their boot training.
ENTERTAINMENT
For entertainment, there are the
regular Friday night Recruit Shows
presented on the stage of the USO
NCCS (Cathedral Lyceum) audi-
torium. These are arranged and
offered by the Station Orchestra
and recruit talent.
The men also have motion pic-
tures. each night, except Friday.
These are shown in the former main
dining room of the hotel.
Also included in the Ponce de.
Leon set-up, where recruit and guni-
nery school training is concentrat-
ed, are the Ship's Service Store
Canteen, a barber shop and tailor
shop-all for the convenience of the
"crew."


ENTIRE NATION
HAS ONLYFIVE
SUCH STATIONS
St. Augustinians will be sur-
prised to learn, perhaps, that in
the entire United States there
are but four other Coast Guard
Training Stations similar to the
one established here last year.
Not only is St. Augustine's
Training Station the only Coast
Guard training base of its kind
in Florida, it is the only one in
the Southeastern States.
One iR located in New York:
a second in the Northlyes. bi the
State of \Vashington; the third,
in California, and the fourth in
Maryland.
Despite the fact the local Sta-
tion is not concentrated in one
spot, its commanding officer,
Captain W. K. Scammell reports


"Always Ready"

Is True Motto

Of Coast Guard

In War And Peace, It Is
Nation's Maritime
Police Force

"Always Rleady" in war and
peace is the Nation's maritime po-
lice force-the United States Coast
Guard.
In peacetime, it performs many
interrelated duties.
It promotes the safety of life at
sea.
It maintains lighthouses and
other aides to marine navigation.
Its ships and shore stations form
a closely coordinated network of
protective and marine observation
stations along all the coasts of the
United States and its possessions.
It:is deeply involved in any na-
tional preparedness taking place
upon our coastal frontiers, through
its enforcement of law and order
and in its constant watchfulness
for maritime disasters.
Declaration of war finds the
Coast Guard in a full state of pre-
paredness and it is necessary only
to accelerate its activities and
coordinate the work of its person-
nel, its ships, its planes, its com-
munication stations, and its shore
stations with those of the other
military services. Its history dates
back to the commissioning of ten
cutters authorized by the First
United States Congress in the act
approved August 4, 1790.
Organized on a military basis
by Secretary of the Treasury Alex-
ander Hamilton for the sole pur-
pose of "securing the collection
of the revenue," this small fleet
constituted the first armed seago-
ing force of the United States.
With 152 years of service to the
Nation behind it and glorious
achievement ahead, the Coast
Guard today sweeps the seaways
of the world on convoy duty,, sub-
marine patrol, troop ship escort
and rescue missions at sea, ashore
and in the air. Along 40,000 miles
of shoreline the men of the Coast
Guard are on the alert against in-
vasion of these shores by the foe.
Its efficient air force cooperates
with Army and Navy patrols in the
coastal Areas.
ach menmbr of the Coast Guard
is trained to handle a threefold job.
He is a seaman, a fighting man.
and a technical specialist. And
today he's one of the highest paid
military 'men in the world.

Recruit and Gunnery
Training Officer


COMDR. A. W. DAVIS


FORMER MANAGER

OF PONCE DE LEON

NOW ON DUTY THERE

It's just a coincident that the
peacetime manager of the Hotel
Ponce de Leon, Bernard R. Howe,
now a lieutenant in the U. -S. Coast
Guard Reserve, is stationed at that
hotel.
As assistant personnel officer, he
is serving in an administrative ca-
pacity under Commander W. W.
Kenner, personnel and executive
,officer of St. Augustine's Coast
Guard Training Station. His desk
is in the original Grand Parlor west
of the famous' Gold Ballroom.
", Lieutenant Howe is a veteran of
the A. E. F., at which time he was
in the Army Air Corps serving with
the World War forces in France in
1917-18. Following the granting'
of his present commission he un-
derwent indoctrinational training
at the local Officers Indoctrination
School, later being assigned to the
post he now fills. /
Because it:was sheer coincidence
that brought him right back where
he was when he received his com-
mission-the Ponce de Leon Hotel
-Lieutenant Howe had no com-
ment to make over the changed sta-
tus of that beautiful architectural
triumph of Henry Morrison Flag-
ler. Rather, he chose to point out
that its present "guests" are
taught to regard it as a ship. To
them. the floor becomes the deck,
the side walls, the bulkhead; the
ceiling, the overhead; the stair-
way, the ladder. When they come
in they are "going aboard" and,
when they go out, they are "go-
ing ashore." When they go to
lunch, they go to chow. The din-
ing room becomes the mess hall;
the kitchen, the galley. At night,
fhey don't go to bed, they turn in.
V
CIVIC HONOR
Ranking officers of the armed
forces assigned to duty in St. Aug-
ustine were honored at a dinner
given jointly by the Kiwanis and
Rotary Clubs, at Castle Warden
Hotel October 19th. The honored
guests on this occasion numbered
23 and they were extended a warm
welcome to the Oldest City.


GATES GUARDING CITY SINCE 1722 WELCOME E MODERN FIGHTING MEN TO ST. AUGUSTINE



.


------------------ --------------~~

Through St. Augustine's famous City Gates marches a company of Coast Guardsmen to the drill field for their weekly review. The old
coquina rock gates were built by the Spanish in 1722 to protect the city proper from marauding Indians and other enemies. Symbolic of
the protective spirit is the vast number of Coast Guard "boots" now in training at the St. Augustine Training Station. (Official U. S.
Coast Guard photo.)

Like the city proper, St. Augustine's municipal airport has donned
war garb for the duration and is playing a small but important role
in the Navy's flight training program.

year's honorable voluntary service,
or who have been honorably dis-
charged by reason of a service con-
nected disability, are eligible for
membership.
"This organization is approved
and recognized by the Veterans
Administration in Washington,
D. C.," said a spokesman for the
local post. "We advocate a well-
equipped, well-trained, well-treat-
ed and well-paid Army, Navy, Ma-
rine Corps and Coast Guard.
"St. Augustine Post No. 315 is
your local post. It needs you.
Give it your support and serve
your community through it. Every
veteran should be a member of a
veteran's organization."

ST. AUGUSTINE

The Nation's Oldest City


* Serving the Navy and the nation
in its wartime function, the air-
port provides an important step in
the operational training of the
Navy fliers as they prepare for
duty with the fleet. The well-per-
forated target "sleeves" the Navy
fliers turn in at the municipal air-
port, one day will be replaced by
Jap Zeros in the South Pacific.
Newly appointed officer in charge
is Lieutenant-Commander Kim-
ball W. Salisbury, 9f Lake Forest,
Ill., formerly' attached to the U. S.
Naval Air Station in Jacksonville
apd to the Eastern Sea Command
in New York. He is a veteran of the
last war, reentering the service
on June .10,. 1942.
He succeeded Lieutenant Kent
Robinson,' a veteran of the civilian
flying business, who has been trans-
ferred to Mayport. Although a
ground officer, Robinson nevertlie-
less has 1,000 flying hours to his
credit. He had been in charge of
the field here since January 1st. His
home is in Portland, Oregon.
Commander Salisbury is assist-
ed by Lieut. (jg) Henry W. Col-
burn, who is gunnery officer. The
field also has a force of enlisted
men, who are quartered in nearby
tourist camp homes.
A Navy crash-boat, commanded,
alternately by Ensigns Paul Himel-
right and Thomas Hopper, keeps
in close contact with the field in
case of possible emergencies.
Pilots using St. Augustine's field
are in the last stage of the training
which prepares them for service
with the fleet. Many of the planes
used are veteran fighters.
One fighter which landed at the
field recently bore seven Japanese
flag emblems on its fusilage, indi-
cating that its guns had accounted
for a like number of enemy planes,
in some fighting area.
Before its acquisition by the
Navy. the field housed two hangars,
one ownied by the city and the oth-
er, by private interests. The field
was built in 1932 by the city with
the aid of WPA funds and labor.

"NAUTICAL"

DEFINITIONS r

AHOY: This was once the dread-
ed war cry ot the Vikings-a dis-
tinct nautical hail.
ANCHOR: This term is derived
from a Greek word for hook or
crook. Sailors today say "drop
the hook," or refer to the anchor
as "the old mud hook." The origi-
nal Greek meaning has been lost,
and the word today has only one
connotation-the terminus tech-
nicus for a means of holding a ship
when she is not under way.
,AYE AYE: Aye is old English
for "yds."
BOATS: Derived from Anglo-
Saxon "bat" that stood for boat,
small, ship, vessel.
.BOATSWAIN: The Saxon word
"swain" meant a boy or servant,
therefore, boatswain. The "boat"
refers to the ships and not to her
boats. "Cockswain" has a similar
derivation. "Cock" is .an old word
for a type of small boat.
BUOYS: Floating beacons which
by shape and color give the mariner
valuable navigational information.
The types in use in the United-
States comprise can, nun, spar,
cask. bell, whistle, and lighted
buoys.
COXSWAIN OR COCKSWAIN:
From "cock," a small boat; and
"swain," a, servant. It originally
meant one who had charge of .a
boat and a crew in the absence of
an officer.
GALLEY YARN: A scuttle-butt
rumor, a rumor. In the early days
the cook was usually the origina-
,tor of all startling news passed
on to the crew.
MESS: Mess comes from the
Latin word mensa, meaning table;
Spanish word mesa, table; also, a
Gothic word mes, meaning a dish;
hence, a mess of pottage.
SCUTTLE: This' meant "hold"
in Anglo-Saxon. In reality, to
scuttle a ship means literally to
hole her.
SCUTTLE BUTT: The sailors'
well or source of fresh drinking
water.
SLOPS: A general term for
ready-made clothes and outfits fur-
nished seamen. The name was firzt
used in this sense by Maydman, in
1691. The word is an old one, for
in Chaucer's time sloppe designated
a kind of breeches.
UP THE POLE: Means "on the
water wagon" or not drinking at
the time. It was originally a term
for "a sheet in the wind" or "a

Like the blimp in the sky overhead; this German Shepherd dog is
on guard along the coast near Marineland, Florida. His handler,
Seaman, first class, Hilary Hornsby of the Coast Guard, patrols with
him this lonely stretch of the Florida shore.

ing the Coast Guardsmen need to
place themselves on guard.
Hypothetical Case
To take a hypothetical case--
should a lone enemy be discovered
on the beach, the dog handler im-
mediately unleashes his sentry
dog, who goes streaking down the
sand after the prowler while the
other Coast Guardsman runs to
the nearest look-out tower to sound
the alarm.
If the enemy consists of a group
of men, such as the four Ger-
man saboteurs who landed near
Jacksonville last year, the handler
and his dog go into hiding behind
a sand dune, while the other man
runs to the watch tower.
Of course, if the enemy wants
to fight, the handler has, a pistol
and can turn his dog loose to
harry the intruders until help ar-
rives.
No enemy will want to face a
sentry dog without some kind of
weapon or a knowledge of the
technique of defending himself
with his hands and arms.
Drilled Tn Attack
The 'dogs are skilfully drilled in
vicious attack and the intruder will
find himself well on the way to
being torn to pieces unless the
handler gives the command to
withdraw.,
Each breed of dog has his par-
ticularly good sentry qualifications,
but Marineland's handlers report
that the lithe, and powerful
Dobermann Pinscher is perhaps
the best.
This black canine terror' has a
one-track mind, the handlers say,
that lends itself well to sentry
training. They are fleet-footed, all
muscle and obedient to the finest
degree. *
Dogs needed for sentry work
must conform closely to that pat-
tern. Smaller breeds may be good
for detection, but not large enough
for attack.
Without uniforms, with trick
names, without weapons other than
the elemental ones of sharp teeth,
powerful jaws and a body like a
steel trap, the sentry dog has
given up burying the bone to
help bury the Axis.

ST. CECILIANS HELP
Early last December, three
radio-victrolas and a large number
of records were presented for use
of the Captain of the Port person-
nel by the War Service Department
of the St. Augustine St. Cecilia
Club, as a result of a special musi-
cal entertainment given by the
women for that specific purpose.
These machines and a fourth
bought through an emergency
fund of the Captain of the P6rt,
now are in use in isolated Coast
Guard stations in this vicinity. '

They must learn that the care-

There is no romping, no re-

must give up almost all the lovable
canine habits except those of obedi-
ence, blind loyalty and alertness.
The sentry dogs at Marineland,
for example, learn that. any hu-

holding his leash is a potential

the other man may have been

The holder of the leash is mas-

What happens when a Marine-

towers, Marineland's patrols -

at night and is broken up into two

value is in detection, rather than
sheer attack.

THEY GUARD OUR COASTLINE FROM ENEMY


Drilled To


Fight Fire


AndBombs

Threat of fire holds no terror for
Coast Guardsmen of St. Augus-
tine's training station.
The men and officers have been
drilled so thoroughly, they can Va-
cate the buildings within five min-
utes, or even sooner.
The fire drills, held one or two
times a week, send the station
personnel hurrying out-of-doors to
mustering points on the station
grounds.
While the bulk of the person-
nel is being evacuated, fire parties,
armed with flame-fighting equip-
ment of .all types converge on the
burning area.
A similar procedure would be
followed in the event of air raids.
The difference, however, is that
the men and officers do not leave
the buildings but vacate the upper
floors and-proceed to designated
shelter places on the ground floor.
Bomb and fire-fighting squads
then take stations on the upper
stories with equipment for extin-
guishing incendiaries and clear-
ing wreckage left by explosives.
Lieut.-Comdr. J. P. Crowley,
maintenance and security officer
who directs these drills, reports,
that the station is well equipped
for bringing almost any emergency
of this type quickly under control.
V
Formal Visits Still
Customary In -Naval
And Military Life
Though in civilian life, formal
visits are not so much in vogue, ir
military and naval life, they fulfill
a more useful purpose and still are
made'
It has been long decreed in the
Navy that juniors: and seniors
should meet in each other's homes,
with emphasis that the first call
should be made by the junior on
the senior. In the case of a. late
comer or a newly married couple,
calls are made first by those longer
on the ship or station.
Irrespective of his time in the
ship or at the station, the com-
manding officer always is called
upon first by his juniors.
It has been customary for officers
entering sick bay on inspection
trips and otherwise, to remove
their caps.

Teacher Here
Saw Doughboys
Land In Africa

Lieutenant J. J. Shingler, gun-
nery instructor at'. the Coast
Guard Training Station here
since January 1st, was gunnery
officer aboard the Navy trans-
port, USS Leonard Wood, part
of the big convoy landing Amer-
ican doughboys on the North
African.coast last year.
Coast Guardsmen's knack for
outsmarting the surf is credited
by Lieut. Shingler with making
the landings so successful, but
he also firmly believes the inva-
sion of North Africa was largely
a triumph of good navigation.
A veteran of three and half
years of North Atlantic seago-
ing, his experiences also include
an evacuation cruise to India.
He's a graduate of the 1939 class
of the Coast Guard Academy at'
New London, Conn. Ashburn,
Ga., is his home.

fills a recognized need, it is hoped
this unit's visitations will become

During the day, the Beach Pa.

When Coast Guardsmen report
to the Captain of the Port for
duty, they already have been
through a "boot" camp similar to
the training station here. In fact,
it is interesting to note that the
last draft of men assigned to
Lieutenant Loehr, came from the
Ponce de Leon.
Training Continues
This training gives .them the
rudiments of the service and when
they reach the Captain of the Port
they are on "active duty" status,
though their training still con-
tinues. Classes are conducted there
each day on gunneryM signaling,
small boat handling, seamanship,
Naval customs and traditions,
Marlin Spike seamanship, naviga-
tion piloting, infantry drill.
"Our objective in those courses,"
the lieutenant explained, "is to
give each man a well-rounded
knowledge of the things a sailor
should know."
For officers and leaders, men
assigned to St. Augustine's
Captain of the Port have a num-
ber of real "old-timers" In this
branch of the service.
There's Lieutenant (j.g.) L. C.
Spaniol, a regular in the Coast
Guard for many years, originally
from Ohio but whose family now
calls this city "home." Lieutenant
Spaniol has been pretty much all
over the world in Coast Guard serv-
ice. Locally, he is the officer in
charge of the pay and supply 'of-
fices.
The executive officer is Ensign
Wayland Waters, USCGR, of
Humbird, Wisconsin, who is in
charge of personnel and ordnance.
Ensign Richard High, USCGR, of
Boston, Mass., is guard officer and
communications officer and also is
in charge e of the Beach Patrol.
Both are graduates of the Re-
serve Officers Training School,
New London, Conn.
Also attached to the Port are a
number of petty officers, recogniz-
ed as the backbone of any organi-
zation such as this. Some of these
men are regulars, who have seen
many years of service in the Coast
Guard and some are civilians who
were taken in and given ratings
because of their specialized knowl-
edge along certain lines.
Old Timers
Among the real old-timers, we
mention five:
Oscar P. Landfield of Waquoit,
Mass., the chief commissary
steward, has 14 years in the
Navy and 15 more in the Coast
Guard. He is the man who is
'directly responsible for the prep-
aration of the food and it might,
be noted here that this is served
in the annex of the Marion,
Hotel, formerly known as the
Lucerne Coffee Shop. (Each
Beach Station has its own mess,
preparing and serving its own
food.)
Clinton. Knight of Atlanta, Ga.,
chief machinist's mate, acts as
assistant to Ensign High, as -the
assistant guard officer and also is
in charge of athletics and welfare.
His service record reads: two years
in Army Aviation, four years in
the Navy, eleven in the Coast
Guard.
A Coast Guardsman for 22 years,
Jesse Barrow of Claxton, Ga., is
the chief radio mate. As the name
implies, he is in charge of radio
facilities of the entire Section.
Constant communication must be


DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know it was quite proper
to address junior officers as "mis-
ter"? And that it is incorrect to
speak to or refer to such officers
as "The Ensign" or "The Lieuten-
ant"? It is "Ensign Jones,"
"Lieut. Howard"; "Mr. Jones," or
"Mr. Howard," or nothing.

decorations, for the, most part, on

too, protecting both the heart and
the badge of honor.

is pointed out, the local Police'
Department has turned over the

Port was established in July, 1942,
when the -Coast Guard Train-
ing Station was little more than
just wishful thinking on the part
of the local populace. Its authority
extends from the' Duval County
line to Ormond, Florida.

at the Ponce de Leon); Lieutenant
C. M. Brookfield, who was made

If you think it downright odd
to see former pleasure craft
here with depth charges and
ugly-looking machine guns on
deck, what will you say when
we tell you their crews include
ex-cowboys ?
To a great extent, the crews
on those boats you see at the
pier or going about their busi-
ness in the harbor, are the for-
mer pleasure craft and charter
boat operators of Florida who
know every inch of the waters
their vessels traverse. However,
included among the crewmen,
are a surprising number of
I Coast Guardsmen who used to
' spend their time in the saddle,
on cattle ranges in Texas or
out in Oklahoma.
And the authority for that
amazing statement is their
present "boss," Captain of the
Port, George R. Loehr.

As the name indicates, the pri-
mary function of the Captain of
the Port is the protection of phy-
sical waterfront facilities as well
as the ships in the harbors and
ports, at the wharves, docks arid
piers coming under its jurisdic-
tion.
However, in St. Augustine where
there is ;no ocean-going traffic,i
that phase of activity is more or
less negligible. Here, attention is
centered upon such customary Cap-:
tain of the Port duties as the is-
suance of identification cards and
boat licenses; the promulgation of
local rules within the authority 'of
the Captain of the Port; controlling
of traffic passing through the In-
tracoastal Waterway; the enforce-
ment of Federal laws on navigable
waters, and so on.
Elsewhere, there might be added
such duties as: control of anchor-
age and movement of vessels; con-
trol of the loading and shipment
of explosives and other dangerous
cargoes; control of traffic in har-
bors and channels (special condi-
tions); control of traffic from in-
lets and isolated harbors; pro-
vision for boarding and examining
parties and other miscellaneous
duties.
The man who sees that St.
Augustine's Captain of the Port
is a shining example of Coast
Guard tradition and efficiency,
is George R. Loehr, recently pro-
moted to the rank of a senior
grade, or full, lieutenant.
With the dawn of 1943, Loehr
eame here from Miami (Seventh
Nava 1l District Headquarters)
where he was attached to the Cap-
tain of the Port. A manufacturing
representative in civilian life,
Lieutenant Loehr had entered the
service seven months previously at
Port Lauderdale, where his wife
and two children reside. Cleveland,
Ohio, is his birthplace, but Flor-
ida has been his home for nine

winter season in St. Augustine, at

who followed this sport into many
localities with varying success.
Section Coast Guard Officer of
the St. Augustine Section of the
Seventh Naval District, Lieuten-
ant Loehr also is charged with
the responsibility of the Beach Pa-
trol; in this area the Captain of
the Port functions are more or
less of a minor nature, so the
senior officer assumes both roles.
Beach Patrol
The Beach Patrol, function-
Ing under the Captain of the
:Port, actually covers the beach
on foot during the hours of'
darkness, on a 'continuous, un-
lbroken schedule.
In discussing this activity, Lieu-
tenant Loehr said, "We don't have
horses in this section now, al-
though it is possible in the near
future our foot patrol will be
'hanged to a mounted 'patrol. The
inen would like that We DO
have a number of dogs scattered
among the Beach Patrol and if we
do not obtain the horses, it is ex-
pected each patrolman will have
& dog with him during the hoibrs
f his beat."
There are three beach patrol
stations in this area, at Ponte
Vedra, Marineland and Flagler
Beach and the numbers "of men
stationed there are practically
identical. Messing facilities and
living quarters are available for
the men and from these isolated
stations, the entire shoreline is
patrolled.

HAS 20 MEN IN

CAPTAIN OF PORT

Did you know there were 20 St.
Augustine men coming under the
authority of the local Captain of
the Port?.
A perusal of the Port's roster
shows there are no less than 20
native, or long-time, residents of
St. Augustine who were assigned
to the Captain of the Port here
following their acceptance into this
branch of the service.
Of this number, 18 have vary-
ing types of duties to perform.
They are: Virgil B. Mathis, Worley
'Mier, Gomer Bray, Sterling An-
drew, Everett L. Solano, John K.
Shugart, Niel A. Mier, Robert J.
Mier, Anthony J. Tringali, Walter
V. Drawdy, George William Zeiler,
Thomas A. Smith, Jr., Godfrey S.
Pomar, Neil C, Miner, John M.
Ryan, Vernon A. Smith, Henry J.
May, and Everett R. Segui.
The, other two men, C. D. Daniels
and David McSwain, are Coast
Guard personnel attached to the
St. Augustine Lighthouse.

Ship's Chaplain Is
Called "Sky Pilot"
The chaplain aboard ship is called
the padre or "sky pilot" by sailor-
men. The older sailors had a re-
ligious vein that was mingled with
supersition. The bluejackets of
sail seldom showed any fear for a
hereafter. Their philosophy as
expressed by an old sky pilot was,
that since they lived hard, worked
hard and died hard, they thought
it would be hard indeed to have to
go to hell.

Spiritual Needs

Of Fighting Men

Both Protestant And
Catholic Naval Officers
Are Young, Vigorous
RUN GAMUT
Lieuts. Janes And Tillman
Form: Important Hu-
manizing Factors
When Johnnie Coast Guardsman
goes to sea he will make the type
of fighting man this nation needs,
only if he is as well fortified men-
tally and spiritually as he is phy-
:ically.
The task of dealing with this in-
tangible, yet highly important prob-
lem, lies with the chaplains of all4
branches of the service. They are
the humanizing factors in the me-
chanics and regimentation of war.
The St. Augustine Coast Guard
Training Station's, two uniformed
men of God, Lieutenant (j.g.) B. F.
Janes, the Protestant chaplain, and
Lieutenant (j.g.) T. J. Tillman, the
Catholic chaplain, could either of
+them be described as the chap-
lain's chaplain.
They are no cloistered clerics, but
young, vigorous officers who in the
course of a day perform a gamut
ao activities from scrambling
through an obstacle course and ar-
ranging a boxing show, to assist-
ing mentally troubled Coast
Guardsmen and teaching their
'faith.
Both are Navy chaplains, prob-
ably among the first of their separ-
ate faiths to be assigned to a Coast
Guard station. Working as a team,
they supply that sorely needed tie
between the mar. temporarily in
service and the civilian life he left
Behind him.
SChaplain Janes arrived at the
Station first in January after indoc-
trination at the Naval Chaplain's
School, Norfolk, Va. A Presbyteri-
an pastor, he gave up the pulpit of
the First Presbyterian Church in
Santa Cruz, Calif., to enter the ser-
Vice last October.
Almost two months later, Chap-
lain Tillman arrived, also from the
school at Norfolk.
He entered the Navy last Decem-
ber, leaving the pastorate of the
Church of the Holy Redeemer in
the mission district of San Fran-
deico. He was educated at St.
Mary's College at Maraga Valley,
Calif., and attended St. Patrick's
Seminary at Menlo Park, Calif.
Chaplain Janes is a graduate of
Fresno State Teachers' College and
of the San Francisco Theological
Seminary.. He also did post-gradu-
ate work at the University of Cali-
fornia.
S Balanced Sethp
S The arrival of the Catholic chap-
Tlain gave the station a well-bal-
"'anced religious set-up. There still'
I~ no Jewish chaplain since the
numbers of Coast Guardsmen of
That faith here are too few in num-
bers.
However, Chaplain Janes has a
'working knowledge of Hebrew and'
:a familiarity with its religious writ-
ings and ceremony, and he endeav-
ors to fill in for the Jewish faith.
During his indoctrination at Nor-
folk, he'frequently performed a rab-
bi's activity at one of the Naval
hospitals on various Jewish religi-
ous holidays.
S Two Assistants
The chaplains' offices are located
on the main deck of the training
station. They have the assistance
of two enlisted men, John Thomp-
ion of Kansas -City, Mo., seaman,
,second class, and 'Edward Godin of
,Miami Beach, seaman, first class.
Thompson I, director of the
ehoir and prepares the music and

ant service. Both he and Godin

services of both, denominations.
Protestant services are conduct-
ed at 10:15 a. m. and Catholic
masses at 6:16 and 9:80 a. m. Chap-
lain Tillman'also hears confessions
from 4 to"8 p. m. on Saturday.+
Every other week; Chaplain Till-
man conducts services at the Coast
*Guard bases at Marineland and
Flagler Beaeh, and at 8 a. m. on
Saturday at Ponte Vedra.
Good Criterion
But their duties go far beyond
a purely religious function. A
summary of their activities sup-
plies a good oriterion of what the
weli veried chaplain is doing these
days.
They give religious instruction,


officiate at weddings and hap-
tisms, conduct military funerals,
operate a library, act as consultants
in the editing of the station publi-
cation, "The Shield," give voca-
tional advice and guidance, assist
Coast Guardsmen in their home
problems, care for the effects of
men who die and arrange for 'the
transportation home of the body,
occasionally visit the city's church-
es, assist physicians in untangling
the psychological knots which of-
ten tie up service men, arrange for
recreation and entertainment. They
,even help the men to obtain eye
glasses.
As in any branch of the service,
the chaplains are a vital need to
deal with what the Russian writer,
Tolstoi, described as "X," the un-
known and unpredictable human
quantity in the equation of a fight-
ing man.
V
Present idea of a dress parade
is to render a visitor a distinctive
honor. Originally it was a formid-
able display intended to impress
thevisitor with the strength of the
state visited.


A Knotty problem about the editing of the latest edition of "Th
Shield," publication of the Coast Guard Training Station, is ironed
out by Chief Yeoman O. A. Leavitt with the help of Chaplains B. F
Janes and T. J. Tillman, the Protestant and Catholic officers, re
spectively.

ST. AUGUSTINE'S FIRST "COAST GUARD SELECTEE"


Two Rich Heritages,
Two High Standards
For Coast Guardsmen
"The late Rear Admiral F. C.
Billard, U. S. Coast Guard, defined
the community of interest with the
Navy and the high professional
standards of his Service when he
wrote:
"Having fought as a part of the
Navy in all our wars, and taking
an especial pride in being fully pre-
pared to perform creditable service
in the Navy whenever called upon,
the officers and men of the Coast
Guard are inspired not only by the
high tradition and fine history of
their own service, but also by the
splendid traditions, history, and
indoctrination of the United States
Navy. They have thus two rich
heritages to be proud of and two
standards of the same lofty char-
acter to live up to."-Lovett's "Na-
val Customs, Traditions and Us-
age."

Weekly dress reviews for ap-
prentice companies of St. Augus-
tine's Coast Guard Training Sta-
tion are held Saturday mornings
on the Fort Green as part of the
routine training.


MOST IMPORTANT
SALUTE IN U. S.
NAVAL HISTORY
According to Lovett's Naval
Customs, Traditions and Usage,"
the most important salute in U. S.
naval history is the first one.to the
Stars and Stripes by a sea power
in recognition of our status ab a
sovereign state.
On 13, February, 1778, John
Paul Jones arrived in the Ranger
at Quiberon Bay, France, and after
learning that his salute would be
returned fired thirteen guns to Ad-
miral La Motte Picquet, which sa-
lute was returned with nine.
At Brest he also received a
salute in reply to his own, for he
reports, "I also demanded and ob-
tained a salute from the flag of
France, both at Quiberon and at
Brest' before the treaty of al-
liance was announced."
In this salute Jones gave one
gun for each American state
(former colony); the nine-gun re-
ply was based on the custom of
saluting Holland, a republic, with
fewer guns than France, a mnon-
archy.

It takes a man to make a man.
It takes a man to lead a man.
And in Lieutenant-Commander 0. C. Rohnke, the Of-
ficers Indoctrination School of the St. Augustine Coast
Guard Training Station has a man and a leader well quali-
fied to hold down the all-important post of Training Of-
ficer. For Commander Rohnke of Jersey City, N. J., who
now calls St. Augustine home, has been on active, duty
with this branch of the service since his graduation from
the Coast Guard Academy in 1932. He came here from
New London, Conn., where he was stationed at the Mari-
time Training School, but in the interim between his
graduation and that shore assignment, he served on almost
too many ships to list. To mention a few, the Pontchar-
train, Galatea, Bibb, Saranac, Unalga.

service customs and traditions;
three more on seamanship; four
hours on gunnery; an hour at first
aid; two each at regulations, courts
and boards, port security and
maritime law; four each at com-
munications and navigation; and
eight hours on drills.
Drill Formations
And speaking, of drills, students
are required to make all forma-
tions, unless excused, by proper
authority. These formations are
held outside the hotels, in the
street, with the strictest military
procedure observed and are sched-
uled at 0615, 0715, 0755, 1205, 1300,
1730 daily. However, no formations
are scheduled between 1600 Sat-
urday and 0615 Monday.
Intensified, Practical
An intensified practical course
intended to qualify students for
general service, sums up the sec-
ond two months of officer train-
ing. With the exception of those
who are in the service for special
duty only, students who are physi-
cally and mentally qualified take
this course and in so doing put
in seven hours per week studying
navigation; four hours each are
devoted to seamanship, gunnery
and ordnance, communications,
shipboard administration, and five
each to drills and strategy and
tactics.
At the end of each two months'
term, come examinations. Marks
obtained in these exams and on
daily, or weekly quizzes, are re-
corded and become part of a stu-
dent's fitness report. In turn, that
fitness report, upon completion of
the course, becomes a part of his
official record.
Instead of everyday terminol-
ogy, students are encouraged to
use nautical terms. Thus, the hotel
stairs is regarded as the "ladder";
the floor, is the "deck"; the left
is "port" and the right, "star-
board" and so on, through the
nautical manual.
Students First
They may be officers, but they're
students first, once their period
of training commences. An ensign
rubs shoulders with a lieutenant-
commander and when his turn
comes he's privileged to order
about his superiors-in class-for
rank distinguishing marks are ban-
ned on the reservation. If he treks
to the Officers Club, though, he
must wear his full khaki uniform,
including blouse and rank distin-
guishing marks. During working
hours, if a student must pass
through town for any reason he
must be clad in full khaki uniform
with the proper marks of rank in
place.

Manning a gun is no small feat
in itself and because of its dangers
(to a man, we wager the gun
crews speak of their work as thrill-
ing rather than hazardous) Gun-
nery .School students are taught to
KNOW THEIR WEAPONS first

An intensive course also is giv-
tn in the use of all types of small
arms, including pistols, revolvers
and sub-machine guns.

GUNNERY DRILL HIGHLY IMPORTANT


Selected Trainees Must Undergo
Intensive Course Of Six


Weeks


After they have completed the
course of instruction in all of the
subjects mentioned, the men are
sent to the gunnery range, located
on Davis Shores, to complete their
final phase of training, actually
firing the guns on which they have
been receiving such concentrated
teachings. Both surface and air
targets enter into this part of the
training picture.
Gunnery Range
Located on the east beach of
Davis Shores, the gunnery range
is barred to civilians and all but
the actual Gunnery School per-
sonnel and guard detail assigned
there. The area is Government
leased property and as such is
protected from undesirable in-
fringement of the curious. It is
a part of the Training Station-
and therefore no civilians can, or
will be, permitted within its
boundaries, the public being
warned to stay out of that vi-
cinity because of government re-
strictions and as a safety pre-
caution.
Visional training films are used
as an aid to the actual instructions
the blue denim-clad men receive
on their guns and in their class-
rooms and "practice platforms" 're
in a variety of sites, some being lo-
cated on 'Charlotte Street, others
within the grim ramparts of Cas-
t'io de San Marcos.
To handle a gun, with accuracy
and safety, a man must know his
ammunition, so there arp classes
in the different types of explosives,'
their proper storage methods, what
safety precautions should be fol-
lowed for each particular type of
munitions employed.
And we might note here, that live
ammunition's expensive! Each time
one kind of projectile leaves its
weapon, it represents an expendi-
ture of $12.20. Costs vary, of
course, with the gun, shells costing
'anywhere from 23 cents on up,
and up.
Gunnery School-enrolled men are
taught, too, the ship's organization,
for both offense and defense; the
various communications systems
and kindred subjects.
Through the cooperation of the
Medical Department and the use of
visional training films, they are
given lectures in first aid and per-
sonal hygiene.
No "Diploma"
There's no "diploma" awaiting
the man completing the Gun-
nery School course. His satisfac-
tion of being finely trained, comes

timaireraft weapon, shooting live.

means saving the life of a wound-
ed buddy.
Assistant to Lieutenant Piner is
experienced W. H. Maddox of Lau-
rel, Miss., who came here last Fall
as a gunner, but now wears the
stripe and a half of a lieutenant,
junior grade. He's had 18 years in
the service.
The instructor personnel comes
from many "ports" and includes
four chief gunner's mates: Ray-

Etiquette


Governing


Saluting

The salute is rendered by the
junior whenever he meets a per-
son entitled to it: his superiors in
military rank among the officers
of the regular Army, Navy, Marine
Corps and of the National Guard
and Reserves when in uniform. It
also is customary to salute officers
of friendly powers when in uni-
form.
One always salutes before the
person to be saluted approaches
closer than six paces; this gives
him time to return the salute.
A salute is always returned by
all officers present entitled to it,
unless they are in a formation,
when the senior only returns all
salutes.
In civilian clothes, a soldier sa-
lutes an officer when he recog-
nizes him, even if both soldier and
officer are dressed in civilian
clothes.
If the senior remains in the im-
mediate vicinity and no conversa-
tion takes place, the salute is ren-
dered but once. However, if there
has been conversation the junior
again salutes the senior in taking
his leave or when the senior leaves.
In making reports, the person
rendering the report salutes re-
gardless of rank.
On the approach of an officer, a
group of soldiers is called to at-
tention by the first person noticing
him.
The driver of a motor 'vehicle
salutes, unless the vehicle is in
motion. Others riding in a motor
car (and the driver,; if the car is
not in motion) salute without rising
from their seats. The officer or
non-commissioned officer in charge
of a detail riding in a truck salutes
for the entire party.
When the. National Anthem is
played or "to ,the color" sounded,
at the first note all dismounted of-
ficers and men present but not in
formation stand at attention
facing the music and salute, ex-
cept that at escortt of the color"
or at "retreat" they face toward
the color or flag. The salute is
held until the last note of the
music. Those mounted halt' and
salute mounted. Vehicles in mo-
tion are brought to a halt. Occu-
pants of vehicles excdpt the driver
dismount and salute. Drivers of
vehicles sit at attention.
In theatres or other places of
public assemblage, ,or in a public
conveyance, salutes are not ex-
changed.

Go ToSea, Too

Coast Guard officers undergoing
indoctrinational training in St.
Augustine are given more than a
'"book learning"-they go to sea.
The indoctrination school now
has available for its use, several
patrol craft, with more on order.
With these, the student officers
put their class room theory to prac-
tical application.
Averaging about four trips a
week, the students get the hang
of general seamanship, practice
the duties of keeping ship stations,
study their signaling and naviga-
tion.
The boats are entirely manned
by student officers except for a
machinist's mate who handles the
engine rooms.
The sea-going class, rooms are
a vital phase of every potential
officer's training. Every advanced
student in the school is given a
thorough grounding for future sea
duty by means of this small-craft
handling, during the final two
months. f his schooling.
Head of the sea-going end of the
training is Lieut.-Comdr. E. F.
Hanks, who is assisted by a num-
ber of staff officers.

Coast Guard's Protective Setup


In Seventh Naval District Puts


Teeth In Wartime Guardianship


It is said of a certain leading
daily newspaper in Georgia that
it "covers Dixie like the dew," but
that coverage, however extensive,
probably is more like the wartime
skip-stop system adopted by bus
lines in many cities in comparison
with the U. S. Coast Guard's pro-
tective setup in the Seventh Naval
District-which includes all of
Florida east of the Apalachicola
River except Duval and Nassau
counties,
The Coast Guard really covers
Florida's hundreds of miles of
coastline, make no mistake about
that! From the northern boundary
line of the district on the east
coast, just above Ponte Vedra
Beach, to the western limit at Apa-
lachicola on the Gulf coast, there
is not a single mile of beach, nor
any bay, river-mouth, cut or tidal
estuary, which is not under surveil.-
-lance by guardsmen afoot, on
Horseback, in a jeep, or afloat, 24
hours a day.
"Always Ready!" is the Coast
Guard's motto. From district head-
quarters in Miami to 14 captains
of ports (also called section Coast
Guard officers), and through them
to the scores of advance bases,
patrol stations, lighthouses and
other watch towers,' lifeboat sta-
tibns and floating units, go the
serial orders which put teeth in
this wartime guardianship of our
sunny peninsula.
14 Captains of Port
Sooner or later almost every.-
body in Florida must deal directly
or indirectly with a Coast. Guard
Captain of the Port located at:
St. Augustine (Lt. George R.
Loehr); New Smyrna Beach (Lt.
jg. L. C. Poole);,Canaveral (Lt. jg.

A. E. Hittepole); West Palm

Miami (Lt. Comdr. R. H. Hunt);
Key West (Lt. Comdr. R. C. Fout-
ter); Everglades City (Lt. jg. C. F.

Angle); Tampa (Comdr. P. W.
Collins); Tarpon Springs (Lt. J. T.
Wilhelm); Cedar Key (Lt. jg. H. R.
Smith), or St. Marks (Ens. J. C.
Dickinson, Jr.)
The District Coast Guard Officer
is Capt. J. E. Whitbeck. His head-
quarters staff is replete with vet-
erans of the'service and specialist
reserve ,officers recruited from
many walks of life. An incomplete
roster reads something like this:
chief of staff, Comdr. William
Wishar; aids to navigation, Lt.

Guard becomes an integral part of
the Navy and operates as such,
except that administrative affairs
are kept separate. The Comman-

Proper Titles

Senior officers frequently ad-
dress juniors by their surnames,
but this does not give the junior
the privilege of addressing the
senior in any other way than by
his proper title.
Officers of the Medical Corps
of the grade of captain and above
are addressed by their military
titles-captain, major, etc. Lieute-
nants are addressed as "doctor."
Chaplains always are known as
"chaplain" regardless of their
rank.
Warrant officers are addressed
"mister."
Non-commissioned officers are
addressed by their titles. Officers
address them as "sergeant," "cor-
poral,". etc. Officers address pri-
vates as "Smith" or "Jones." Mas-
ter sergeants, technical sergeants,
staff sergeants, etc., are address-
ed singly as "sergeant."
In the Navy, officers with the
rank of commander and above in
both line and staff are addressed
socially by their titles, whereas
those with the rank of lieutenant-
conpmander and below are address-
ed as "mister."
Any officer in command of a
ship, whatever its size, or class,
while exercising such command is
addressed as "captain."

Despite Diversity Of For-
Rmer Lives All Quickly

ENTHUSIASTIC
Schedule Of Hours Is
Identical With That Of
Male Qee Gees
Young women, experienced in
practically every field of business
end industry, are enlisting in the
WAVES and SPARS to help win
an early Victory by replacing
Navy men aind Coast Guardsmen
at shore stations.
Here at St. Augustine's Coast
Guard Training Station, there al,
ready has been assigned a repre-
"sentative group of SPARS, includ-
ing two officers, Ensign Coeta M.
Terrel of Austin, Texas, formerly
secretary of the Department of
* Drama at; the University of Texas,
and Ensign Dorothea E. 'Wolf of
* Willianmttown, Pa., an ex-teacher
efx high school English.
First two SPARS reporting for
duty here, were Yeoman Blanche
Speer of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Alice
Lucille DeBarba of Lawrence,
SMass., both of whom had recently
completed four months' training
; with the'WAVES, the sister organi-
z: ation, at the Oklahoma Agricul-
tural' and Mechanical College in
S$tillwater, Okla. They answered
an urgent call for volunteers in the
SPARS, receiving their honorable
discharge from the WAVES so they
might become members of the wo-
meni's reserve of the U. S. Coast
SGuCrd. In civilian life, which al-
ready seems like, a dream to the
girls so eagerly iand readily .have
they gotten into the swing and the
spirit of Navy life, Miss DeBarba
Swas employed by a -New England
chain outfit, as manager.of one of
its branches. Miss Slpeer formerly
was a bookkeeper for a concern in
New York.
Shortly afterward, there reported
seven additional SPARS: Dixie N.
Benson of Tremont, Ill.D Mildred F.
Georgen of Gheen, Mink.; -Flor-
enee B. Grymont of Chicago, Ill.;
Viola J. Goodwin of Richmond, Va;;
Dorothy Beatty of Montclair, N. J.;
Katherine Keeletr f'Philadelphia,
Pa.; and Marianr Nugent of Morris-
town, N. J. All are seamen, second
Flass.
Three,' DeBarba, Benson _and
Nugent have been assignedto. the
personnel office; two, Speer and
Gramont, to the pay office; three,
Weatty, Keeler and Goergen, as

*'ith the exception ot Beatty
anA Keeler, who got their iindoc-
triniational training at Hunters
'College in New York City, all the,
girls trained at Iowa State Teach-
ers College in Cedar Falls.. Their-
period of -training averaged four
-weeks and upon, its completion,
the girls received ratings as sec-
ond class seamen.
Miss Gramont formerly was em-
ployed in the U.: S. Public Health
Service office in Chicago, and Miss
SGodwin did the same type,of work
in'a civilianl office. Miss Goergen
worked' in a defense factory;'Miss;
Benson was a pottery worker; Miss
Nugent. a draftswoman for,a tele-
phone company. -Miss Keeler did
office work in i department s&ore
and Miss Beatty was/ a .telephone
operator And typist.
Despite the diversity of their ac-
tivities, they quickly found: a niche
in the women's reserve ,t the Coast
Guard which they wouldn't give ub
for; anything, so enthusiastic are
theyover their:new life. To all of
the girls to whom Record readers
are introduced in this article, their
St. Augustine assignment was their

quite delighted, over being, in this

historic city, thrilled with the op-
portunity of finally doing their job
as Americans and being a part of
that, great, trained body now in
the service of Uncle Sam. r
It was Miss DeBarba who put
into, words what these SPARS
feel: "If we had to do it all
over again, we would do just
that!"
Especially designed by the fa-
mous stylist, Mainbocher, are the
trim Navy blue uniforms, worn both
by the WAVES and the SPARS--
only the lapel insignia and hat bapd
are different. True to their femin-
inity.having received a Florida as-
signment and with Spring in the
air, the girls are anxious to get into
their "summer whites." (By the
time this appears in print, that
cherished dream may have become
a reality.),
Contrary to the opinion held by
persons unfamiliar with the regu-
la4tfons governing members of the
women's reserve, in this branch
of the service, the girls can, wear
makeup, in moderation; They also
can wear their hair in any style
they prefer, providing it is off their
collar.
At present, the local SPARS, both
officer-, and non-commissioned, are
"quartered on the, outside," but
they have their meals in the Ponce
de Leon; chow being served-to them
in the former Spanish Room of the
hotel.
Their schedule of hours is iden-
tical with the male Coast Guards-
men and even an 8 a. m. visit, to the
hotel finds them already hard ,at
work at their appointed tasks.

orlty listing at the station, anu out
of a quarterly fund set up by the
government, it draws the money
necessary for buying new equip-
ment and replacqehents. Today, the
station is completely equipped for
its important physical training pro-
gram.
Although, like all phases of
training, athletics are under the fi-
nal authority of Comdr. A. W. Dav-
is, recruit and gunnery training of-
ficer, and Lieut.-Comdr. J. J. Hut-
sdn, Jr., welfare and assistant re-
cruit training officer, the program
is under the direct guidance of
ChaplainB. F. Janes, who is ath-
letic officer.
Each incoming trainee, fills out a
questionnaire, which enables the
,athletic directors to determine his
Sftihess for certain types of sports,
over and above the routine super-
vised training.
Thus the station has the nucleus
for. its teams in various types of
sports-soft ball, volley ball, table
tennis, baseball, boxing, 'wrestling,
swimming, badminton and other
types.
Four Phases
The general program is split up
into four phases-the "get tough"
program consisting of instruction in
judo, boxing,,defense and offense
and the, use of the bolo knife; holds
and blows, calisthenic and recrea-
tional athletics,, and boat racing.
The piece de resistance of the
regular daily physical drill is the
station's obstacle course, located at
Valencia Street and Markland
Place on an area of ground loaned
Sor. se by D. D. Corbett, county


ness.
Pleasure Sailing
One of the most popular sports
among the trainees is pleasure sail-
ing on Matanzas Bay,on Saturdays
and'Sundays. The boats used for
pulling races can be fitted with
sails and trainees are not only per-
mitted, but encouraged to try their
hand at sailing.
The entire sports program is
handled by a highly competent
group of chief petty officers, or
chief specialists.
The group includes Edward
Schiewe, in charge; of boxing, ten-
nis and general sports; Roy Crews,
obstacle course; Albert Zeretzke,
obstacle course; Steve Vrsata, box-
ing; Charles "Chuck" Garrity,
wrestling and judo; William Lind-
sey, boxing; Glenn Cooper, base-
ball and basketball, and Manuel De
Ocampo, judo, bolo and boxing.
The athletic program in the
St. Augustine area embraces the
Officers' Indoctrination School as
well as the Training Station. This
phase is under the direction of
Lieut. (j. g.) F. W. Lowry.

Stripes."
/ The American Red Cross-which
is administering the plan-is, re-
ceiving more and more letters
every week telling of the type of
child the units wish to adopt and
in nine letters out of ten the choice
is a curly-headed blonde three to
five.
The doughboys themselves are
providing funds for the youngsters'
welfare. Red Cross workers trav-
eled thousands of miles in England,
Scotland, Wales and Northern Ire-
land to make sure that the douglh-
bpys' help will go to the most
deserving war victims., This initial
work was done by Miss Ophelia
Tiley of Essex, Conn., who now has
been assigned to North Africa.
Working closely with British wel-
fare organizations, the Red Cross
studies the claims of every child
eligible for the helping hand. Even
the fullest "case-history" is not
enough. The child itself is visited
in its home by Miss Tiley'whose
mission has made her the most
popular woman in Britain.
The Red Cross is careful to ex-
plain that the project is not i n-
tended to take children from their
families nor to support them
wholly. Its object is to pro-
vid 'the children not with luxuries
but with needed things which might
otherwise be out of reach by reason
of depleted income in the home.

Newly arrived trainees at the Coast Guard Training Station here, line up for the first of a series of
inoculations they will receive while in service to protect them from diseases. Their arms may pain them
for a few days, but the inoculation is a long-range insurance against future serious illness.


As Naval liaisn officer at State
Selective Service Headquarters
here at the StateArsenal, Ensign
Bruce L. Barfield not only is ful-
ftlling his duty by maintaining cor-
dia1-relations between the Navy
and Selectivee Service, he, also j
works with the mainpower division
and as such is a "part-time men'-
ber" as it were, of the Selective
Service staff.
Young Barfield, a Miami attor-
ney in civilian life, went on active
duty with the Navy in May, 1942.
He finds his present assignment,
which began in January of this
year, less:hectic than his previous
duty, at a Washington desk., But,
he has plenty to keep him busy,
nonetheless.
His stenographic assistance is
provided by Selective Service, being

Ensign Barfield works out of
the Bureau of Naval Personnel in
Washington and directly under the
Director of Naval Liaison Selective
Service. Since the creation of the
Selective Service System, the, Navy
has served in a liaison capacity
with, the SSS, Naval liaison; of-
ficers being on duty in every state
headquarters in -the country;
others in Washington in'the na-
tional headquarters, in the Navy
Department and in the Secretary's
office.
In Florida, the Navy has its own
separate recruiting division and
since there are many Naval instal-
lations in this state, a liaison of-

rather, than with the procurement

General Health Good
Comdr. McDevitt reports that
the general health of the incoming
trainees is usually quite good.
Most of the complaints under treat-

fections.
Fortunately, except for several
gunshot wound cases and appen-
dectomies, no great amount of ma-
jor surgery has been necessary.

first class, eight second class a
eleven third class ship's cooks.
On 24-Hour Basis .


Cooks operate on a 24-hour basis.
They go on duty at 9:30 a. m., and
are not relieved until that same
hour the next day. When one
learns his assigned task thorough-
ly, he swaps with another, until
all can do whatever is required at
any time. They are guided in
preparation of their hearty and
toothsome meals by the U. S. Navy
and U. S. Army cook books-and
now and then by someone's favor-
ite recipe. They do all their own
baking (with the exception of
bread and rolls) and what baking
it is! The other day, they'were
preparing strawberry shortcake for
supper, so for the noon-day meal
the men had to be content with
"just ice cream" (page those who
have had desert disappointments
of late). By the way, ice cream
and pound cake is a frequent and
popular item.
If a housewife had a yen for
some cinnamon buns, she'd plan
carefully to keep within her sugar
and shortening rations and fresh
eggs budget. But when Chief
Dolan writes cinnamon buns on
the day's menu, his cooks must
have enough supplies, for this one
order alone, to overflow a house-
holder's pantry and her kitchen,
too.
Supplies come from the Jackson-
ville Naval Air Station; carload
lots of ,vegetables via Norfolk, Va.;
local !consignees get orders for
fresh: vegetables, fruits and fish.
Potatoes are bought in ton lots.
Instead of leaving a quart or two
of milk on the doorstep, the milk-
man deposits a truck load.
Under Rationing, Too
Better not ask Chief DiPietro--
who does the buying of meat-
what he's up against, for the
station is rationed, too. Just you
try figuring. out if what, meat he
got for giving up thousands upon
thousands of points, was worth
such mathematics! Butter is serv-
ed three times daily now, but for a
time there when supplies failed
to come through on schedule, it,
was eliminated at all but the
evening meal-and like you and

We all like to hear from our boy, in thei,
service, but many times we are lax in
writing him. May we suggest that we
all give an A-1 Priority on our letters to

write him often.


I, the men didn't like butter-less

If green peas areon the menu,
instructions go out for opening

They grind their own coffee and
this is served piping hot from
three forty-gallon urns, also
brought here from New Orleans.
(The fourth urn is in use at the
Officers Indoctrination School.)
It takes hundreds of pounds of
jam and evaporated milk each day
to keep the men satisfied, too. On
Friday, a good boatload of fish is
required.
Services in general cannot get
everything they demand, so like
any good civilian housewife, they
make the best of what they can
obtain in the way of supplies.
An important part of the galley
set-up is the "issue room." From
this room is issued all the food to
the general mess and out of this
building the Officers Indoctrination
School is supplied with all. its
needs. Everything issued is re-
corded in detail, with the records
being turned over at the end of
each day to the commissary officer.
Typical Menu
The chief commissary steward
makes up the menus. Umm-mm-m,
here's a typical one:
Breakfast: fresh milk, dry cereal,
French toast, pork sausage, butter,
syrup, fresh fruit, coffee. Dinner:
rice and tomato soup, breaded pork
chops, apple sauce, gravy, baked
potatoes, buttered string beans,
beet salad, pound cake and Ice
cream, bread, butter, coffee. Sup-
per: lamb stew, boiled rice, mixed
vegetables, lettuce and tomato
salad, cookies, cocoa, bread, butter.

Is Commissary

Officer Here

Nourishing food is considered all-
important to a fighting man, or one
being readied for active participa-
tion in the Second World War.
Not only is it necessary to his
physical well-being, but it is vital
to his morale.
In his capacity as Commissary
Officer, William E. Spencer of Chi-
cago, Ill., is responsible for
achieving that state of affairs for
the men from all parts of this. coun-
try who have been assigned to St.
Augustine's Coast Guard Training
Station to be moulded into living
examples of the famed motto of
the service-Semper Paratus--Al-
waysw Ready.
Mr. Spencer, who has the rating
of Pay Clerk, has had around 12
years of service in this branch, his
duty being aboard ship and at shore
stations all along the coast.
Directly under him is Chief Com-
missary Steward John J. Dolan,
who on April 30th of this year will
boast a service record of 18 years in
the U. S. Coast Guard, all duty be-
ing in this particular department.
Twelve of those years have been
on sea duty, the remaining six
ashore.:. He's served on the Great
Lakes, and from Maine to New.Or-
leans, to the Oldest City, St. Au-
gustine. Only the west coast has
escaped him thus far.

AIRIBRAFT WARNING,
SERVICES FULFILLING
VITAL WAR ROLE
Exceedingly important work for
the army, for civilians, and for the.
nation at large is being done by the
Aircraft Warning Service, of which
Cecil Zinkan is director for this
area.
Hundreds of men and women of
St. Johns County are joining with
the other hundreds of thousands of
patriotic folks over the nation, who
scan the skies 24 hours daily and
report planes.
In scattered communities, where
men and women have to make real
sacrifices in order to maintain, their
watches of all hours of the day and
night, planes are spotted and re-
ported.
Not only are these watchers a
safeguard against any possible ap-
proach of hostile planes, but they
are a safeguard to our own fliers
on practice and routine flights. A
plane may be reported in trouble,
and help will be sent. Should valu-
able equipment fall from a plane, it
can be reported and recovered,
This is a work that is going for-
ward quietly, and in an efficient
and businesslike manner. We pay
tribute to the men and women who
maintain this service.

Then the young folks will enter-

them do useful work that will aid
them as they decide upon a career.

Schools, Though
Touched By War,
Doing Fine Work
Local schools, like other busi-
nesses and professions, have been
affected more or less by war, but
for the most part school authori-
ties, headed by D. D. Corbett,
superintendent of public instruc-
tion, have carried through this dif-
ficult year in splendid fashion.
Schools of St. Augustine are ac-
credited, and the curricula conform
to state standards.
Teaching staffs include fully
trained and accredited teachers,
who hold degrees from well known
colleges and universities, and are
well equipped to do the work they
have undertaken.
In line with modern trends to
assist young folks in finding their
niche as early as possible, and se-
curing some preliminary training
that will help them, is the Diversi-
fied Cooperative Trainifig, which
is part of the High School work.
Many young folks are doing DCT
work in the community, under the
direction of B. J. Nelms, coordi-
nator. They devote a certain num-
ber of hours of work along prac-
tical lines in the business or pro-
fession in which they are particu-
larly interested, their employers
paying them a stated sum" per
hour. They also put in a certain
number of hours of classroom
work.

Hotel Ponce de Leon, the massive structure which is the materialization of one of the late Henry Morrison Flagler's finest dreams, has
been the heart of St. Auguistine's social life for more than 50 years. Famous personages from all parts of the globe have been its guests.
A complete list would read like a composite of the social register and Who's Who down through the years. Today, thigh grandiose struc-
ture now houses hundreds of fledgling Coast Guardsmen. After weeks of intensive training here, they will be assigned to active duty on
the fighting fronts of the world.

More Surprises
Continuing our tour, further sur-
prises were in store, through we
were becoming more used to them
now.
A peep into the kitchens our
first-and we learned modern gas
ranges have superceded the old-
,time coal-burning stoves which
have served the hotel and its cele-
brated clientele so faithfully
through the years. There are other
modern additions, too, equipment
that would delight a feminine cook
probably far more than it does the
.present all-male staff. Electric
potato-peelers (the boys still have
to wield a knife to cut out the
eyes) contrast with the hotel's
massive charcoal burning brick
ovens (proudly bearing the date,
1887) where the Cee Gee bakers
have their highly successful tasty
flings.
There have been several changes
in the meat refrigeration and
storage unit (yes, we even poked
our shivering noses in there, too)
or in the whatyoumay callum
where the slabs of meat are butch-
ered. Charges made were pri-
marily enlarging the capacity of
the unit to care for a large num-
ber of men.
Downstairs, to the north of the
motor entrance, where in olden
days the Gentlemen's Lounge was
located (we're merely quoting the
brass sign still there) men in
"civvies" are outfitted in the new
clothing they'll wear for the dura-
tion and six months thereafter--
unless there's an unforeseen hitch.
And we're still chuckling over
this amazing transformation: the
old-time bar there truly has come
down to earth, for it's now the shoe
shop! Instead of frosty tall glasses,
the bar supports a prosaic sign ad-
vising trainees how they must
give their first name, their middle
initial and their last name.
Now we go down the hither-to
concealed stairs to the basement
-across the driveway and through
the modern entrance. Normally,
the hotel baggage rooms, we find
buckets of paint and supplies of
brushes. There are convenient
work tables, too, for here each
boot must stencil his name on each
article of clothing issued him.
Yes,-St. Augustine's Ponce de
Leon has gone to war. For 57 years
the internationally famous hostel-
ry served the expensive whims of
its wealthy clientele. TIoday it
has removed its "white tie and
tails"' in exchange for the uni-
form of the United States Coast
Guard!

in direct charge of Lieut. John L.
Dunn.
It is a veteran organization now,
having been established in June,
1941. It is quartered in the Army
Recreation Area just north of
the City Gates off San Marco Ave-
nue.
The shore patrol here consists
largely of Coast Guardsmen from
the Training Station at the Ponce
de Leon Hotel. It operates under
the command of Lieut-Comdr. J. P.
Crowley, maintenance and security
officer,' and 'is in direct charge of
William Lindsey, chief specialist.
The two units use jeeps or travel
in the local, police squad cars for
vehicular patrol and at all times
are in two-way radio communica-
tion with their headquarters.
One. of the thorny problems with
any police unit of either service
lies in watching over the various
bars, restaurants, and other pub-
lic places which service men fre-
quent.
Neither the Army nor the Navy
wants its personnel patronizing es-
tablishments in which sanitary
conditions are objectionable, pros-
titutes are allowed on the premises,
or where .liquor sale regulations
are violated.


The services cannot close these
places, but they can very effectively
deal with them by placing them "off
limits." This means that M. P.'s
or S. P.'s will take up posts outside
the establishments and prevent ser-
vice men from entering.
In some sections of the nation,
entire cities have been placed "off
limits" when local authorities are
unable or unwilling to correct ob-
jectionable conditions.
This problem is a very minor one
in St. Augustine, according to Ma-
jor Edelstein, who has been here
long enough ta know the situation
thoroughly.
Pleased With Conditions
"Aliost all the bar operators,
restaurant owners and other bus-
iness men here cooperate to the let-
ter," he reports. "We have been
most pleased with conditions and I
think I'm not exaggerating when I
say that St. Augustine has about
as clean a bill of health, hygienical-
ly and morally, as any city of its
size on the east Florida coast."
The delicate decision of the "off
limits" is usually made by Major
Edelstein, probably because the ar-
my unit is older in experience here.
Coast Guard authorities cooper-
ate very closely with him in this
matter, and what few "off limits"
recommendations he has to make
about recalcitrant business places
in St. Augustine have Coast Guard
approval. Inversely, the Coast
Guard recommendations have Ar-
my approval.
The military police and shore pa-
trol policing is not severe. The pa-
trolmen do not "get tough" unless
an unusually bad situation demands
it.
Trouble makers of the more seri-
ous type are marched off to cells in
the city jail, or if the man is a
Coast Guardsman, to the brig in
the training station.
The Army' Recreation Area also
has detention cells for temporary
interhementt.
Major Edelstein reports that out-
of-town service men, whose trouble
making is not of an extreme nature,
are usually released the following
day and sent back to their camps
and a report on their conduct is
forwarded to their commanding of-
ficers. *
In the case of deserters or those
absent-without-leave, the home
camps are contacted and, if neces-
sary, the prisoners are returned un-
der guard.
A policing problem for the Army
and Navy can.sometimes be a hard
nut to crack. In St. Augustine, the
cooperation among civilians, local
police and business men with the
armed services is so complete that
this problem scarcely exists at all.


Work Two-Fold


As the title suggests, the work
of a maintenance and security of-
ficer is two-fold. Maintenance is
the upkeep of the station and all
its, parts and accoutrements; se-
curity, protection from fire, air
raids and against possible sabot-
age. And under security comes
also the operation of the Shore
Patrol.
So, to Commander Crowley falls
the great responsibility not only.
bf keeping in tiptop shape, the pala-
tial Hotel Ponce de Leon (his own
office headquarters) but Hotels
Monson and Bennett and all the
Station's equipment (including
boats)., As if the interior would
not present sufficient problems, he
must be as careful a guardian of
the' exterior.
Replacements
Considerable replacements of ma-
terials usually are necessary, the
officer pointed out, in older build-
ings, such as house the Station in
St. Augustine; also it often is
deemed advantageous to add cer-
tain buildings or equipment.
For instance, Commander Crow-
ley revealed that, the refrigeration
in Hotel Ponce de Leon was insuf-
ficient to maintain the number of
men quartered there for any length
of time. To remedy that situation,
two new units-each about the
size of a refrigerator car-have
been placed onw the grounds. Men
like, and require, showers and
since the hotel plumbing provides
few of these, it is probable outdoor
showers will be constructed short-
ly. Being of a temporary nature,
these necessary additions serve a
real purpose in the Station's goal:
fitting more and more civilians to
take their place alongside Coast
Guardsmen and other fighting men.
Commander Crowley's "house-
keeping troubles" are lessened by
the fact that the original gardener
and several of the hotel retainers
still are at the Ponce de Leon in
their former capacities.
Security Watch
Ever since the three hotels
were taken over by the Navy
Department for the St. Augus-
tine Coast Guard Training Sta-
tion, it has been common knowl-
edge that those reservations are
under guard 24 hours every day,
rain or shine. Those guards are
known as the Security Watch. It
is their duty to patrol the desig-
nated boundaries of those "reser-
vations"; to be alert for signs of
fire, smoke or disorder; to in-
stantly investigate and report
anything out of the ordinary
which might occur in their beat.
Shore Patrol
The Shore Patrol-those S. P.
arm band wearing guards-is di-
rectly under the supervision of
Commander Crowley, and works in
cooperation with Major Max S.
Edelstein, commanding officer of
St. Augustine's Army Recreational I
Area, and his Military Police. Each
serves more or less as supervisor
over all members of the armed
forces. Purpose of both S. P.'s and
M. P.'esis to prevent a man from
disgracing the uniform of the Unit-
ed States in any sense; to give the
-ommunity, protection or security.
They work in harmony with local
law-enforcement agencies.
"Captain Virgil Stuart of the St.
Augustine Police Department," de-
clared Commander Crowley with
appreciation and satisfaction, "has
given us exceptionally fine cooper-
ation."

One of the Innovations of this
War is the close cooperation be-

Since all branches of the armed

Vhis feeling is carried through even

Today, in St. Augustine,, as else-
where throughout the'-nation, the
thore patrolmen and the military
policemen pair off and walk.their
beats together.
Some service men are unaware
_f it, but there is no longer any
imitation as to which patrolman
may arrest whom.
Military policemen are now em-
towered to arrest Naval and Coast
Guard personnel disturbing the
seace, and .the, shore patrolmen

personnel.

City's Churches

Extend Welcome

To Service Men
From stately church edifices to
small chapels, St.. Augustine has
numerous worship places, where
service men and others are welcome
always.
Some of the churches, aside from
the primary religious atmosphere
and interest which surround them,
are historical in background. Chief
among these is the Roman Catho-
lic Cathedral, which faces the an-
,cient Plaza. This is the oldest ca-
thedral in mainland United States,
antedating the famous old Cathe-
dral of St. Louis in New Orleans.
This is the oldest Catholic par-
ish in the country, because the work
of the Catholic Church started here
from the very day on which Ped-
ro Menendez landed, September 8,
1565, to found the city.
The second oldest church is
quaint and historic Trinity Epis-
copal Church, on the opposite side
of the Plaza from the Cathedral.
Beautiful church edifices are oc-
cupied by Memorial Presbyterian,
Ancient City Baptist, Grace Metho.
dist, and First Methodist congrega-
tions. Of these Memorial Presby-
terian has a particularly interesting
background, because it was built by
the late Henry Morrison Flagler,
millionaire developer and -philan-
thropist, as a memorial to his
daughter, Jennie Louise Benedict,
who died at sea.
There are numerous smaller
churches in the community, which
serve their neighborhoods, and
many worshippers.

see, St. Johns County is well and
efficiently represented in the na-
tional civilian defense organization.
Formed Two Years Ago
The St. Johns County Defense
Council was organized two years
ago. Then the t6tal membership
consisted of the present chairman,
Colonel James H. Reynolds, Jr.,
and John W. Dillin, the executive
secretary, who since has been com-
missioned in the Air Forces of the
United States Army. Its sole equip-
ment was a letter from .Governor
Spessard L. Holland to Colonel Rey-.
nolds and an envelope of orders in
the custody of Mr. Dillin.
The first meeting was held in the
office of the Chamber of Commerce
and an office established on the
back porch of that building.
Today, the St. Johns County De-
fense Council consists of an.Execu-
tive Council, the governing body
which has jurisdiction over two
corps of five.and eight divisions,
respectively, and many independent
units. In addition to the chairman,
the Executive Council is composed
of the vice chairman, M. H. West-
berry; the executive secretary,


Never before in history has the
citizen in civilian clothes, been soL
closely associated with the citizen
in uniform as today. Civilians, sol-
diers and sailors today are all
fighting the war, each in his own
way, for a common cause and made
necessary by modern warfare meth-
ods. This state of affairs has been
responsible for the creation of an
organized and disciplined force of
civilians known as the Civilian De-
fense Council, or in some states,
as the Civilian War Council.
The Work these men and women
are doing, whether it beserving on
the defense staff, evacuation divi-
sions, the food and housing section,
in the division-of public works ser-
vice, or as, nurse's aides, air raid
wardens, in the, aircraft warning
service, as auxiliary firemen, po-
lice, fire watchers and many other-
activities, is all-important, for
'they are contributing to the defense
of their country. And in the words
of the director of the Fourtlh Re-
gional Office of Civilian Defense
at Atlanta, Charles H. Murchison:
"The work being done by the vast
army of civilian defense workers
will win undying gratitude of gen-
erations unborn."

Goum Guerillas

Terrifying Enemy

In North Africa

Tales Of Bravery Of Tur-
banned Moroccan Ir.
regulars Spread
By WILLIAM KING
AP Features
ALGIERS, North Africa-The
Goums-those turbanned Moroc-
can irregulars-terrify the enemy
by their power to move through
impossible territory, while their
sensational fighting tactics amaze
their allies, the American and Brit-
ish soldiers.
Tales of their bravery have
spread through the Army in Tu-
nisia, along with stories of their
disregard of life and love of loot.
Their unorthodox methods and
self-sufficiency in action tend to
complete the mystery which sur-
rounds them.
Goums are strictly a patrolling
force. They are often given a rov-
ing commission or are sent to a
special sector to create general de-
struction.
.-The Goums are definitely merce-
nary. It would be foolish to pre-
tend they are fighting for the priin-
ciples of the Atlantic Charter. In
addition to their pay, there is al-
ways the prospect of military
booty.
Because it is easier to leave a
dead soldier than a live one, Goums
in the past h~te shown reluctance
to take prisoners. To restrain the
primitive urge to kill needlessly,
the Allies have instituted bounties
for prisoners.
Like woodsmen who have spent
Sa lifetime hunting, Goums have
developed an intimate knowledge
of the rough wooded :hills of North
Africa and abnormally keen senses
of sight and hearing.
They set out, with their odd
rifles and sharp knives, in a strag-
gling column, leaving known roads
as soon as possible. Unlike most
native troops they like night oper-
ations and usually manage to
reach a "lying up" point right
under the enemy's nose. At dawn
they rush the position, before the
enemy has any idea they are
within miles.
Goums are recruited from the
mountains of Morocco. They are
all volunteers. During the days
after the defeat of France, the
Goums were held together as a po-
tential fighting force by a ruse.
The Axis Armistice Commission
was told that they were labor
gangs.

All facilities, of the club are
.FREE TO A-I.o'SERVICE MEN.
Saturday night dances are reg-
ular and popular features. Under
the supervision of Miss Evelyn
Bradford and her assistants, Miss
Rhoda Emma Neel and Miss Ethel
Corbett, contests are held in the
game room, with prizes given the
winners.
Mrs. Wells, the, official hostess,
-organized a chapter of the Girls Ser-
vice Organization, the GSO Girls
acting as dance partners and ju-
nior hostesses at all affairs, as well
as performing other duties. Wo-
men of the following cooperating
local organizations serve as senior
hostesses: Sub-Junior Service Club,
Service Mothers Club, Arts Club,
Junior Service League, Pilot Club,
Memorial Presbyterian Church
Auxiliary, Trinity Episcopal
Church Auxiliary, Ancient City
Baptist Woman's Missionary So-
ciety, Ambulance Corps, Memorial
Lutheran Woman's Missionary So-
ciety, Grace Methodist Woman's
Society for Christian Service, Vet-
erans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary,
Daughters of Arherican Revolution.
Tie Service Mothers Club was
formed under the sponsorship of
the club. These mothers have done
a wonderful work, taking care of
the needs of the men. One of
their main services has been the
altering and mending of uniforms,
more than 200 garments 'coming
under their care. The Club's Christ-
mas Party and many other
thoughtful acts which only mothers
can accomplish, were Service Moth-
ers Club projects.
A Service Wives Club also was
formed, but because of the fluctu-
ation of the men from one location
to another, it was impossible to ac-
complish any specific service.


Both Local and Visiting
Service Men Enjoy
Free Facilities

Since November, 1941, the USO
Club operated by the Army and
Navy YMCA and located in the Le-
gion Home on the Bay, has been a
real haven for service men, both
local and visiting. First director of
the club was George W. Gleaves of
Memphis, Tenn., at which time the
American Legion retained the din-
ing room and canteen, operating
these for the benefit of the service
men.
In June of 1942, R. C. Oliver, who
had been sent to Memphis from
Florida to organize and open a'
USO Club for the Army and Navy
YMCA, assumed the directorship of
the local club, succeeding Mr.
Gleaves who wished to return to his
home in Tennessee for similar
work. Mrs. Estelle E. Wells, of
Sebring, Fla., became the secre-
tary and official club hostess.
Soon afterward, the USO took
over two rooms on the second floor
for use as writing and game rooms.
A number of facilities were added
to the program, including fishing
tackle, cameras, golf clubs, shaving
materials (especially for those who
come from other camps and bases
for week-end visits-between 50
and 100 men use this facility every
Sunday morning), an information
bureau which secures rooming ac-
Commodations for visitors and men
stationed here and having their
families with them; a checking sys-
tem and dissemination of 'general
information such as points of inter-
est, train and bus schedules, loca-
tion of churches and hour of ser-
vices, etc.


''-iM"'. '.". ,'. ,"
One of the top moments for officers and enlisted men of St. Augustine's Coast Guard Training Station during the past two months
was the recent visit of, Vice Admiral R. R. Waesche, commandant of t he U. S. Coast Guard, seen here accepting a review of the station's
trainees. He stands beside Captain W. K. Scammell, commanding officer of the station. Standing at the rear, from left to right, are Comdr.
Frank Leamy, Lieut.-Comdr. Arthur J. Hesford, aides to the admiral; Comdr. W. W. Kenner, executive officer of the station; Comdr. A. W.
Davis, recruit and gunnery officer, and Lieut.-Comdr. J. J. Hutso n, Jr., welfare and assistant training officer.


Many excellent housekeepers,
who used to feel pretty busy and
important, are worried these days
as to whether they are doing their
share in the war effort. With wo-
men doing defense work in fac-
tories and offices everywhere, it's
hard for Mrs. Housewife not to
feel a little guilty if she concen-
trates on cooking and child care.
That's a defeatist feeling, how-
ever. Much as every bit of our
war work counts, officials and edu-
cators everywhere feel that a wo-
man with small children owes her
first duty to them. Of course,
many such women are doing occa-
sional work for various- defense
organizations, but even those who
.are on duty at home twenty-four
hours a day can find a dozen small
ways to show their patriotism.
They can shop more carefully
than ever, putting away every dime
saved for war stamps and bonds.
The pleasant home atmosphere can
be shared by inviting soldiers from
nearby camp over for Sunday din-
ner. And, they can contribute to
the enjoyment of soldiers, sailors

The American Library Associa-

the United Service Organizations
are all behind this drive to acquire
"more and better" books during

Soldier Finding
Many Biscuits In
His Battle Rations
If Your sweetheart or husband
never ate crackers before he went
to war, it's a good bet that he will
when he returns. Special biscuits,
because they provide concentrated
energy, taste good, keep well, are
easily shipped and distributed, now
are included in all types of emer-
gency rations prepared for the
Armed Services.
There are three basic types of
biscuits now in wide use which were
developed by the Quartermaster
Corps in cooperation with the indus-
try-Types C, K-1 and K-2. The
K-1 and K-2 are well known be-
cause they are important parts of
the famous Emergency K Ration
which provides full meals in pocket
size.
The K-1 Biscuit contains virtually
all the essentials of a balanced diet
in itself. Minerals, fats, proteins
and carbohydrates are all present,
including 17.6 International Units
of Vitamin B1 per biscuit. It is pos-
sible for soldiers to carry on, exist-
ing on'these K Rations because the
K-1 Biscuit contains 2,172 calories
per pound. The K-2 type is a con-
centrated graham biscuit which also
has a high caloric count.
Most soldiers, however, will pro-
bably become better acquainted
with the Type C Biscuit, which has
a graham flavor, since five are in-
cluded in the U. S. Field Ration
used in emergencies during maneu-
vers or combat. A square biscuit
made with C-type formula is also
shipped to overseas Army stations,
so if your soldier has been in North
Africa o" Guadalcanal, he's prob-
ably eaten many of these nourish-
ing, compact wafers.


ute some of the western stories and
adventure: tales which he liked and
which would also appeal to young
soldiers. Maybe Sister Sue has
some myi.\stery tales and shot story
collections to add to the pile. The
point is that all will help to.sort
out books that will be good reading
for service men.
Perhiaps one family may have a
dozen books to giye, the family
in the next house bnly one or two
--but multiply these families by
millions of other generous groups
throughout the nation, and it's easy
to imagine the millions of books
that will be collected for our fight-
ing men throughout the United
States.


This crowded dance floor-in the USO Army-Navy YMCA-oper-
ated Club at the Legion Home on the Bay--is evidence of a well-
known fact: service men, on the whole, enjoy dancing.

NEW AIR-BORNE
LIFEBOAT REAL
AID TO SEAMEN

LONDON (AP) British air-sea
rescue experts, continuing their ef-
forts .to save torpedoed sailors and
fliers forced down into the sea,
have invented the air-borne life-
boat. This newest life-saving de-
vice can be dropped by parachute
to men drifting outside normal
ship and plane patrol routes.
The lifeboat can be dropped
safely even in a sea so rough that
the landing of a Walrus Super-
marine amphibian rescue plane
would be impracticable, says the
British Information Service. The
boat is released so that it strikes
the water with sea anchor already
extended and, with favoring winds
and currents, will drift towards
the men.
Each boat, which can carry 11
men, has fuel for' 100 miles. It
can make up to six knots per hour
and has a sail to augment the
motors. Stored in lockers are me-
dical supplies, food and water,
clothes, a wireless, charts, maps
and signal lamps.


Organized Machine
Cabinet Helps When
Emergencies Arise

What to do. until the doctor comes
is familiar knowledge to thousands
of women who have taken the Red
Cross First Aid Course. But it will
be easier for them to apply that
knowledge if the home medicine
chest is ready for emergencies.
Next to knowing what to do, speed
in doing it is most important. When
danger strikes, there is no time-to
rummage through mniscellajireou
bottles, tubes, cartons, and tazor
blades.
A clean uncluttered medicine
chest with a place for everything,
and everything in its place, should
be in every household, particularly
in war time. Cosmetics, hair pins,
manicure tools, and miscellaneous'
articles should not be in the chest,:
where they are'only in the way.

COLORS AT MARATHON


.<


Soldiers often do a great deal
more than duty, demands. Fre-
quently, those "extra acts" are for
the benefit of civilians rather than
fellow service men.
This has been evidenced more
than once right here in St. Augus-
tine, by the' Military Police quar-
tered on the Civic Center grounds
in St. Augustine's Army Recrea-
tional Camp.
Perhaps, the acts for which they,
have received the widest recogni-
tion, from the public generally, are
those when they have assumed the
roles of fire-fighters.-
From George U. Meserve they
have received a sincere testimonial
of their valuable service in this
respect. When his home on Grove
Avenue, was badly gutted by fire
this winter, a group of Military Po-
lice from the nearby camp did.-ex-
cellent work n saving the furniture
and furnishings from destruction.
Mr. Meserve says he owes a great
debt of gratitude to these service
men and in a letter to Major Max
S. Edelstein, commanding, officer
of the sub-post here, he asked that
his appreciation be expressed to
each man who helped perform such
an unselfish and prompt act for an
unfortunate civilian family.
On more than one occasion, the,
soldiers have traveled many miles
to assist Coast Guardsmen and oth-
ers in combatting brush fires
which threatened destruction of
homes or other buildings. Forests
aflame also provide too great a
menace to ships at sea, to go for
long without attention, and in this
the service men also have had, a
real role to play.
Recently, they were on hand to
protect government property-mail
sacks-which had to be tossed from
a blazing railway baggage car.
They':also stood ready to aid local
firemen in putting out the fire, the
train being stopped at a street
crossing in the city's outskirts.
Their knowledge of first aid and
resuscitation likewise proves valu-
able during their off-duty hours, as
more than one fellow service man
or civilian will testify.

Narrow Escape

For Cee Gee In

Mediterranean

Edward Pearson Recounts
"Closest Shave" After
Reaching Africa
'How his ship, a Coast Guard
transport, narrowly escaped pos-
sible destruction when attacked by
two German torpedo planes in the
Mediterranean was told by Edward
Pearson, Chief Boatswain's- Mate,
U.S.C.G:, of 3320 Bell. Plain, Chi,
cago, Illinois, upon his return from
Africa.
According to Pearson, a former
welterweight boxer, his convoy was
under almost constant fire during
its operations in the Mediterranean,
although his own vessel ran the
gauntlet to and from Algiers twice
without injury to ship or personnel.
But one attack, Pearson recalled,
appeared almost certain to end in
disaster. "It-was the closest shave
we had," he said, "and it occurred
the day 'after we arrived at Africa.
In the midst 'of an air raid, two
German bombers singled us out
where we were anchored and each
dropped a torpedo at us from about
1,000 yards off.


while all!of us were too occupied
firing at the planes to watch
'fish,' I knew they were coming
at us. It was plenty tense await-
ing the shock that would knock us
into kingdom come.
"Then, as one torpedo neared our
bow, it suddenly veered off and
passed astern, missing us by about
20 yards.
"The other one kept on coming
right at us. But it, too, turned at
the last mniinute, just enough to
pass between the bow of our ship
and the anchor chain. It came
within three feet of getting us."
Pearson was at his gun station
on the after deck when the British
aircraft carrier HMS AVENGER
was torpedoed and sunk.
"She followed us in the convoy,"
he said, "and was only a few hun-
dred yards off our stern when she


got it. I didn't mind all those shell-
ings we went through, but seeing
that explosion gave me a shaking

In addition to being 'the com-

the C. 0. still is cl.arged with the
responsibility of seeing that the

"In practically every .case we

symbol of the American people's
determination that the needs of

500 Families
During the past year approxi-
mately five hundred families living
here, whose sons, husbands, and
fathers are in camps in other loca-
tions have been assisted by the St.
.Johns County Chapter of the Amer-
ican Red Cross. They have been
helped in contacting these service
men and aided with loans when
money was needed for such pur-
poses as basic maintenance, and
hospitalization. Some families have
been helped in the filing of claims
for pensions due to the death or
disability of those in service.
In addition to the services men-
tioned above, the local chapter
sponsors a* number of Volinteer
Services which include sewing and
knitting, the, making of surgical
dressings, teaching classes in Home
Nursing, First Aid, and Nutrition.
An outstanding service is that of,

The Junior Red Cross has been

MAJOR MAX, S. EDELSTEIN
For ovr twoyears, Major Max S. Edelstein, Infantry, United
States Army, has been a:familiar figure in St. Augustine.. Since 1941,
he has been in command of the more than $50,000 project known as
the St. Augustine Army Recreational Area and located on the Civic
Center grounds. That camp, a joint effort of the Army and the Des
pertinent of Interior, and an integral pfirt in the National Defense
Program, on April Ist of- this yearbecame a sub-post of Camp Bland-
ing. Since last Fall, it' has quartered Military Police training com-
panies,i with Major Edelstein remaining the area's commanding
officer.


All hands report for colors even the mascots at U. S.

the men stationed there for purpose of patroling the waters surround-
ing the hundreds of small islands, most of which are uninhabited,
making up the Florida Keys.

the St. Augustine Army Recrea-
tional Area, and Mrs. Edelstein who
liked it so well, they purchased a
home on Davis Shores and estab-
lished their legal residence here. /
Major Edelstein, an Army offi-

became a reserve of. the Regular
Army, following World War One,
being called back into active ser-
vice in 1933 to assist with the or-
ganization of the Civilian Conser-'
vation Corps.
Places in today's headlines are
of more than ordinary interest to.
Major Edelstein, for he served in
the Philippine Islands during the
unrest there; was in Corregidor
during the Japapese-California in-
cident; was stationed in Manila at
Fort William McKinley; has been
on duty in Jolo in the southern
part of the Islands, to mention a
.few.
He enlisted in 1911, in Chicago,
coming up through the ranks from
a buck private.
Major Edelstein received his com-

HANDBOOK OFFERED

ARCADIA (FNS)-A new pilot
student handbook by Jack Hunt .and
Ray Fahringer has just been an-
nounced.
This is a revised, enlarged and
improved edition which these ex-
pperts published a year ago. Hunt
formerly was head of flying opera-
tions at Carlstrom Field here and
is now serving with the army in
Texas. Fahringer is a former Walt
Disney cartoon artist and the illus-
trations in the book' follow that
cartoon style of drawing. Few of
the 250 pages in the book are not
illustrated.
It is a brief, easy-going, inti-
mate book of advice that even non-
flyers can understand. It gives
the "do's" and don't's and is stud-
ded with horse-sense humor.

Two Offices Are Main-
"tained Here To
Aid Men /
The life of a service man or wo-
man is crowded with many prob-
lems besides those learned in the
class room or on,the field.
In most instances they are sep-
arated from their families, some-
times by thousands of miles, and
this separation alone. may. present
a problem. When serious illness oc-
curs in the 'immediate family and
the attending physician recom-
mends the presence of the person
in service he or she may not have
the means of financing, such a trip
or paying the medical costs in-
volved. When the Commanding
Officer grants an emergency fur-
lough or'leave in such instances,
the service man or woman is then
referred to the' Red Cross Field
Director's Office, where a loan can
be arranged for transportation and
necessary personal expenses.
Upon their arrival.home if they
find that the family' has been un-
able to make satisfactory .arrange-
ments for expenses arising from
the illness they may then go to
the Red 'Cross Chapter in their
home town where a loali can be
made to the family. No service
charges.or interest are ever made
on either kind of loan. A satisfac-
tory plan of repayment can be
agreed upon which does not work a
hardship-on either the service man
or woman or on their families.
There are many problems that
arise which do not require financial
assistance but which call for ad-
vice, counselling and often just
listening on the part of the Chapter
worker or Field Director. When
families fail to hear from or are
unable to locate their loved ones
in service, the Red Cross stands
ready to help them. A Field Direc-
tor is stationed in every spot in
the world where the American
Armed Forces are located.
Two Offices
In this community the Red Cross
maintains two offices to meet the
needs of the service men and wo-
men located in and adjacent to St.
Augustine, and the families resid-
ing here of service people located
elsewhere. The Office of the Field
Director is in the Marion Hotel
and all service men are welcome
to call there to discuss any prob-
lems with which they need assist-
ance in solving. When the wives
or parents of members of the
Armed Forces need help, advice, or
counsel on family problems, they
may call at the St. Johns County
Chapter Office at No. 212 St.
George Street.

tainers for wet and dry garbage,
for tin cans (the Army plays a
big part in the tin salvage pro-
gram) and other refuse.
There are separate mess halls
for the officers and the- enlisted
men, but all eat at bare tables
(with attached benches) with a
whole battery of condiments rang-
ing down the center of each table.
Cooks lead a hard life, especially
insofar as hours are concerned,
so they rotate on duty, two at a
time, assisted by several K. P.'s.
They have to be up at 4 a. m., and
if they get away by 7 o'clock that
night, it's practically a miracle,
They not only prepare the food and
cook it, they have to do the more
distasteful job of cleaning up
afterward. All food handlers are
examined regularly for com)nuni-
;cable diseases.
Rationed, Too
It wasn't so difficult. once, but
now with food rationing and the
complicated point system :ever be-
fbre them, the cooks really have
themselves a time. Yes, the service
man is rationed, even as civilians.
The good old Arny bean is much
in evidence, a visit to a typical
stock, room showed. Six bins in one
container held, in the order named,
rice, red kidney beans, blackeyed
peas, pento beans, navy beans,
and baby limasl. Ironically the
macaroni was stored atopthe bins.
And those bags of oranges were
Florida and not California, grown.
It takes only a peek into a
supply room to realize the neces-
sity of food rationing, for the
amount required to feed one com-
pany just one meal is little short
of staggering. It's a man's work
they're doing, a man's life they're
leading and it takes a man's food
to do it.
The motor pool provided still
another interesting insight into
Army life. Despite their hard
usage, every vehicle literally is
in the pink of condition. Daily and
weekly inspections help see to that,
but the men themselves take a
tremendous pride in their motor-
!cycles, their armored scout cars,
their versatile little jeeps and
peeps.:
Each driver assigned to a ve-
hicle is responsible for that ma-
chine, and he doesn't have an alibi
in the world .if anything occurs
out of the ordinary-for his name
Iis prominently displayed on the
windshield. W
The motorcyclists are privileg-
ed to name their mounts and their
choice ranges from the typical
wide open space, appellation of
"Tex" to glamourous "Betty
Grable.",
Though each company within the
area operates as a separate unit
and 'has its individual "tent city,".
the men's lives are much the same.
Their, hour for tumbling, out of

stopked and equipped for any
emergency. Routine lab work is
done there. Men are given their
"shots in the arm," their complete
physical examinations, but they
don't get put to bed! If they're
sick enough for that, they're sent
to the Army hospital. Though field
equipment furnishes the clinic,
with its ."stripped for action"
"minus-gadgets" look, there's a
tiodern refrigerator, for storage
of vaccines and serums. (That's
one reason housewives have had
to make the old one do.)
The medical detachment there is
composed of the station surgeon,
the dental surgeon and six enlist-
ed men: Sergeant Charles Long
of Anniston, Ala.; Frank Goodale
and Dothan Wilson of Pensacola;
John Lelito, Chicago;- Ratchford
Long, Fort Lauderdale; and Jos-
eph Sremba, Grand Rapids, Mich.,
all first class privates.
These men also are trained and
equipped to go out into the field
with the troops, forming first aid
stations.
There is an ambulance at their
disposal.
The medical staff also is charged
with the regular and routine in-
spection of restaurants and other
places were soldiers congregate.
Dental Clinic
Equally well-equipped and effi-
cient is the dental clinic over which
Lieutenant McCauley is in charge
in his capacity as dental surgeon..


Here, too, there's amazing com-
pactness and utilization of space.
The dentist's clair, into which
everyone climb'lvs ith such reluct-
ance, is of the .iven field-chair
variety. It, and everything else
in the clinic, can be packed up and-
readied for removal to another
locale, within a very few minutes.
Probably the most pretentious
building-it even has a cement
floor-is the structure housing the
canteen, now operated by a pri-
vate concern. Its stock ranges from
soap and other essentials to choco-
late bars and "the things the men
like." Prices are at rock bottom,.
but don't get ideas! Only soldiers
can make purchases. There are
convenient tables and chairs oc-
cupying one side of the building.
The other is taken up by a long
counter. It has coin machines, too,
for musical entertainment, Need-
less to say, it's a popular spot.
An interesting phase of the in-
spectidn tour was the visit to the
kitchen, mess hall and food supply
tents, which are grouped together,
for obvious reasons. Gasoline field
ranges are used exclusively. There,
are the necessary' refrigerator
units for perishable foodstuffs.
Just outside the mess hall are the
outdoor brick ovens with the tradi-
tional trio of hot water containers
for washing, rinsing and steriliz-
ing the men's mess kits. In close
proximity to this "dish-washing
setup" (though they don't have
dishes) are the various metal con-

with Governor Spessard Holland as
commander-in-chief. General Viv-

officers are First Lieut. W. W.
Wilson and Second Lieut. Herman'

Military Discipline
When an F. D. F. member is
in uniform his civilian life and
prestige is forgotten and he is
obliged to render the same military
courtesies as ordered in the Federal
Service. Penalties are given for
infractions of rules and strict dis-
cipline is maintained at all times.
Out of the uniform the F. D. F.
'member is again "Bill Jones", the
truck driver, or "John Doe", the
"big shot" executive.
Machine Gun Squads
In addition to each member being
supplied a Riot Gun, he is given an
opportunity to be on the Machine
Gun Squad.' This group mans the
Thompson Sub-Machine Guns and
is trained to shoot with deadly
accuracy; also to ,dismantle and
assemble these lethal weapons
while blindfolded.
Camps and Maneuvers
The Company, since its organi-
zation, has enjoyed several maneu-
vers and week-end camps. During
these, actual field problems are
worked up and'the men show real
enthusiasm as they undergo rigor-
ous routines. I
Quick To Mobilize
Several months ago Company D-
was called out to assist the Coast
Guard and Army in a search for
suspected saboteurs. When the
mobilization order Was given one
platoon of the unit was assembled
and moved to the desired location
within 35 minutes. Within an hour
the entire company, with the excep-
tion of three men, was on duty
serving alongside forces of the
regular armed services. -The local
unit proved of valuable aid and
was highly complimented by offi-
cials.
Inspections and Drills
Periodic inspections by heads of
,the State Military Department are
given. In addition, the U. S. Army
designates high ranking officers to
inspect each company at regular
intervals and to criticize' and make
suggestions for its improvement,
One such inspection will be early
in May when Army officials will
visit each Defense Force Unit in
the state. The local Company
drills each Thursday night and
attendance is obligatory unless
special permission is given. Mon-
day nights a volunteer special
school is held and this also- has a
good attendance, showing the high
interest of the membership.

The na


ntry as a whole wants daily variety
ment and has been loath to accept sev-
ging eral days' serving of the same
food food.
mily But this attitude is due for a
t to change if America is to win the
battle of food supply. Food pro-
the duction has increased by leaps and
the bounds over the past three years.
run Production goals for 1943 are
ition higher than ever yet. Supply has
not kept up with increasing de-
mands.... From the armed forces,
I from the civilian population with
highest-in-history p u r c h,a s i n g
power, from the other United Na-
tions whose food sources have been
greatly reduced by enemy occupa-
tion.
Only ,by making the fullest pos,
sible use of America's food sup-
plies can all these demands be met,
even in part. Rationing of canned
goods leaves many households with
smaller supplies of these products
than they have been accustomed
to keep on hand. .Rationing of
meat limits the amount of that
important dietary item which a
household may consume. In these
two foods at least, the necessity of
making full use of them will be
forcefully impressed on everyone.
But all foods must be 'conserved.
No useable leftovers thrown into
the garbage pail: (Army reports
that 62 per cent of leftovers in Army
kitchens are re-used at future
meals), and no food must be allow-
ed to spoil. One carrot left to
shrivel, one apple allowed to rot
may not seem like much food,
waste. But multiplied by the car-
rots and apples from the nation's
34 million homes, they would sup-
ply nourishment for many families
and many fighting men.
Fighting food waste starts with
food buying. :Not an ounce more
should be purchased than the fam-
ily will actually eat, and the menu
should be planned in terms, of
number of servings.

Temper Control


With a temper which was always
simmering and ready to boil at
the least mishap, my high school
science teacher had a plan where-
by he gave vent to his feelings
Without offending anyone. He
merely numbered his curse words.
He alone knew the code. For in-
stance, if the apparatus collapsed
just as he was to demonstrate an
experiment he would exclaim,
"Twenty-one, thirty-seven, forty-
five!"
The big moment came one day
when he backed into a fiery blow-
torch. Giggles and snickers came
from the class, then silence. For
an instant his face resembled an
explosion in a catsup factory, then
he yelled, "One to eighty-seven in-
clusive!" To this day we don't
know to what expletives his num-
bers referred but we are certain
that momentarily we had :been ex-
posed to his entire repertoire.-

BESSIE
"All right,, Bessie," said the boss
of the little factory which was mak-
ing jackets for soldiers. "Did you
want to see me about something?"
The thin middle-aged woman
stood up from the chair in the out-
er office and looked earnestly at the
boss with her huge, grave gray
eyes.
"It's about this ten per cent
pledge," she began.
"Oh, that's all right, Bessie,"
the boss said. "I'd been meaning
to speak to you about that. We
don't expect you to pledge ten per
cent of your pay for War Bonds
like the others are doing. We
know you have a hard time mak-
ing ends meet since Jake died.
Eleven kids, isn't it ? That's quite
a lot of mouths to feed. Let's see,
you make $25.50 a week including
overtime, don't you?"
'"Yes, sir but..."
The boss smiled.
"Don't give it another thought,
Bessie. You've got your hands full
now. Uncle Sam knows you haven't
got a penny to spare. Don't let it
worry you. We understand."
The boss turned to go back into
his private office.
"But what I wanted to say was
." Bessie raised her voice and
the boss looked-around. "I wanted
to say, would a dollar a week be too
little? You see, after we get the
living expenses paid, there's just
about a dollar a week left. Would
they be willing to accept a dollar
a week?"
"They'd be more.than willing,"
the boss said quietly. "They'd 'be
proud."
Bessie looked relieved.
"All we have to do is scrimp, a
little," she said. "I'd feel just ter-
rible if we couldn't give something."
Back in the boss' office a repre-
sentative of the Treasury Depart-
ment was waiting. The boss shut
the door and sat down.
"I've just seen the greatest single
sacrifice I know of," the boss said.

JIMMY DOOLITTLE, ONE YEAR AFTER BOMBING TOKYO, SAYS:




U. S. Air Power Means Death For Axi


Written for AP Features
BY MAJOR GENERAL JAMES H. DOOLITTLE
A year ago when American bombs thundered in Tokyo the
Japanese people were undoubtedly badly shaken.
Today as the United Nations air might roars in an ever
heightening crescendo, the specter of crushing vengeance
must weigh like a sentence of death on the entire Axis.
It is unfortunate that the air raid on Tokyo was necessary.
It is regrettable we have been obliged to drop daily on mili-
tary objectives in the Mediterranean over ten times as many
bombs as were dropped on Tokyo.
It is deplorable that greed and bestiality have embroiled
almost the entire civilized world in war. Admittedly unfor-
tunate though it all is, an untenable condition exists and must
be faced and corrected.
To this end our Air Force, together with workers back
home, our associated services and our Allies have dedicated
themselves to the accomplishment of complete victory and a
just, permanent peace.
It is doubtful if one out of ten persons in the United
States, at the time Tokyo was given its first taste of war


a year ago, realized the rapid strides that were made by
their armed air forces in the ensuing twelve months.
Looking back I can hardly realize it myself, and I've
never been conservative in my hopes for air power.
Since that historic day last November, when Allied forces
entered French North Africa, what may well go into military
annals as the most-amazing air warfare of this war has been
waged against Axis tactical objectives in Tunisia, Tripolitania
and even against Sicily, Sardinia and Italy.
I'm well cognizant of the terrific trials of the Battle of
Britain; the well-remembered "total war" waged by the mad
dog of Munich; and of the magnificent task performed in past
months by the RAF on Germany's factories of death-dealing
machines.
The North African campaign, however, from the start
has been a bitter, continuous struggle. As ground forces
marshalled their resources and strength for the obvious
blow-to crush Rommel and his associates-air power
has hammered incessantly at the enemy. It destroyed
their supplies at the source, severed their lines of com-


munication and smashed directly at their forward
positions.
And here, far from home and facing a supply prob-
lem of incomparable dimensions, the Twelfth Air Force
(now part of the Northwest African Air Forces) has
demonstrated the heartening growth of the United
States Army Air Forces since last April 18, when the
Jap first felt our air strength on his home ground.
Our might must grow even more than that of the phenome-
nal period of the last twelve months, until we can strike crush-
ingly anywhere on the globe.
United Nations air forces have the best equipment in the
world, flown by the best pilots and maintained by the best
technical experts.
Morale problems are non-existent. Even in the darkest
moments in the most isolated sections of North Africa, where
operating conditions are extremely difficult and living con-
ditions are most unpleasant, our spirit is high. If defense
plant workers at home could see this, they would again re-
double their production efforts.


At this writing, the airplanes which these wo ers
have built for us have destroyed over 500 enemy air-
planes in actual air combat here, not including over 200
blown to bits on the ground in bombing operations.
Against this we have lost less than one to two-and this
is against one of the best organized, trained and equipped
air forces in the world.
We have dropped over 4,000 tons of bombs in "pre-
cision bombing" raids, operating every day that bombers
and fighters could find their way through the weather to
their targets and then back to their base.
Some fifty enemy ships have been sunk by our bombers in
this theatre. These include cruisers, destroyers, submarines,
tankers, cargo vessels and troop carrying craft.
I should like to take this opportunity to commend the entire
personnel of the Twelfth Air Force for what, not only I, but
the rest of the world must recognize as a magnificent job.
Their accomplishments stand but to me as a bright exam-
ple of what United States' air power is capable of doing when
given the unparalleled support of the great democracy which
stands behind it.

SOPHIA
Mrs. Kimball and Mrs. Worthing-
ton, dressed soberly and wearing
their best black gloves, walked
along the stony country road back
toward Sophia Hardy's farm, to pay
their visit of condolence.
"How do you reckon she'll be
bearing up?" Mrs. Kimball asked
Mrs. Worthington. Both ladies
wore their most solemn, funeral
expressions.
"A mighty severe blow," Mrs.
Worthington said. "Mighty severe.
To lose your only son, the mainstay
of your declining years. And such
a dreadful death, too-to go down
with a ship. Mercy!"
"The first of our boys from Hand
County to go, too," Mrs. Kimball
said, mournfully. "I wouldn't
blame Sophia Hardy for feeling
right bitter."
They stood on the simple stone
doorstep, with downcast eyes, get-
ting themselves into the proper
commiserative mood.
"Come in"
The voice was brisk and cordial.
They looked up in surprise. Sophia
herself had come to the door. As
they followed her into the parlor
they exchanged glances, with eye-
brows lifted. Sophia was not even
in mourning. The parlor shades
were not even drawn.
"It's nice of you to come," Sophia
said. "Do sit down."
"We came," Mrs. Ijmball said
almost reprovingly, "to tell you
that our hearts are bleeding for
you in your great loss."
"We know how lonely you must
be out here," Mrs. Worthington
said. "With nothing to take your
mind off off .. ." She sniffed
and reached in her purse for a hand-
kerchief.
S"Oh, I keep busy," Sophia said.
"I've just finished applying for the
Government insurance on Tom's
life."
The visiting ladies could not re-
-ist a shocked glance at one an-


iil er.
"I want to get it right away," So-
pliia said. "So I can put it into War
Bonds. My boy hasn't finished

MORE TRAINS ARE
ON TRACKS; SAFETY
IS WARNING GIVEN

TAMPA (FNS)-Asher Frank,
director of the Florida Safety
Council, has issued the following
war-time warning:
Remember more trains are trav-
eling over grade crossings than
ever before.
In 1942 there were 82 railroad
crossing accidents, in which 36
persons were killed and over 400
injured.
Troop trains or trains with war
materials do not run on schedules.
Every train accident delays the
movement of needed troops or
equipment.
You can't outguess the railroad
time tables-play safe and stop at
all railroad crossings.

Mrs. Ruby Barnett, a 41-year-
old grandmother who used to hunt
with her husband in Pennsylvania,
has a war job testing rifles and ma-
chine guns at the Aberdeen Proving
Grounds.


Notice how quickly a good quilt
soils when children are around?
Save expensive cleaning by making
a slip cover of cheese cloth and
tacking it to the quilt with colored
tufts of.wool. Bright color of the
quilt shows through the thin cheese
cloth and the cover whips off for
washing in no time.

Clean carpet sweepers live
longer and work better. If the
brush is cleared of hair, dust, and
lint it will pick up faster and more
thoroughly. Waste Wardens make
a habit of keeping the carpet
sweeper really clean.

Stubborn grease spots on wall-
paper often respond to a paste of
fuller's earth, or a commercial dry
cleaning powder and carbon tetra-
chloride. Apply thickly to spot and
leave till thoroughly dry. Wipe
off with cloth dampened with car-
bon tetrachloride.

SOLDIERS AND PRETTY GIRLS TRY THEIR LUCK IN LOCAL WATERS, FISHING PARADISE


Information requests
The letters and cards from all
sections of the United States are
filled with requests for informa-
tion. Modern school teachers do
not give Johnnie and Mary oppor-
tunity to hide behind large geog-
raphy books. They are busy
writing for folders with local
statements and pictures for their
scrapbooks. Since April 1st, 49
such requests have come in. To
them are sent descriptive folders
and no letter is written.
Requests from prospective visi-
tors and buyers are answered
promptly with letters having evi-
dence of personal interest in their
inquiries and with a cordial invi-
tation for them to come and see
in person the scenes shown on the
folders sent them. Along with
the folders goes a sheet with a list
of hotels, guest homes, tourist
courts and cottages, ,and apart-
ments owned by those who pay for
this special service.
Weekly Bulletin
Once a week the Secretary is-
sues a bulletin called "Live Wires"
which goes to all those on that
list. In this bulletin is copied
every letter containing inquiries
about real estate or accommoda-
tions. In this way everyone has
impartial opportunity to sell his
wares, by writing to the names
and addresses given on the bul-
letin. It means efficient prompt
service for all.
There are miscellaneous re-
quests for information that have
nothing to do with plans for
coming to the city. The substitute
secretary, if she does not know the
answers, is so well acquainted in
the city that she knows who can
furnish the correct information;
so she has had the satisfaction of
meeting every challenge.
Employment Day
On Wednesday, from 8:30 until
3, Starr Parsons, representative of
the United States Bureau of Em-
ployment is on duty in the Chamber
of Commerce office. The room is
then comfortably full of appli-
cants for positions as well as those
drawing claims. There is a host
of intelligent, talented young wom-
en in this city who, accustomed to
activity back at home, are bored
with doing nothing all day long.
Their husbands are service men
at Camp Blanding or with the
Coast Guard or M. P. camp here.
If there were a small establish-
ment here for the manufacture of
some little hand-made part for a
larger war necessity, it would
utilize much of this, ability now
going to waste. The young wom-

cal dressings at the Red Cross or

Cooperative Spirit
A fine cooperative spirit is indi-
cated. Some women who have
flourishing gardens don't know how
to can. And some women who are
expert canners have not been able
to have gardens, or their gardens
are slow in producing. So these
women pool their produce and their
skill, and are "canning on shares."
The other day Miss Heist car-
ried two sacks of cabbage from
one farm home to a young woman
who is an expert canner. She will
make sauerkraut from the cab-
bage, and retain a certain number
of the jars for her own use. Nu-
merous other instances of fine co-
operation are being recorded daily,
she says.
And in the meantime the sum
total of food, which will help to
feed our people, and help to win
the war is being increased.

New Waterproof

Pilot Chart For

Ship Survivors

Would Provide Protection
Against Sun And Also
Have Other Uses
The plight of ship and airplane
survivors cast adrift at sea will
be eased considerably by a new
waterproof and weatherproof pilot
chart adopted by the Navy De-
partment's Hydrographic Office.
The chart was developed after
many months of experimentation
by the Navy Department and pri-
vate manufacturers and it is to be
placed aboard all lifeboats and life
rafts as soon as it can be supplied
in sufficient volume.
The chart is printed on an en-
tirely new material developed by a
small manufacturer at the sug-
gestion of the Navy Department.
The material resembles bond paper
in appearance and is highly re-
sistant to the effects of salt wa-
ter, sun, and other elements. It
car. be rolled into a tight ball and
spread out smoothly.
The charts have the added ad-
vantage of being suitable for the
catching of rain water, providing
protection against the sun, and
other uses that might contribute
to the safety and comfort of ship-
wrecked persons.
Present plans call for the inser-
tion of copies of the charts in pock-
ets on rubber life rafts and life-
boats where they will be readily
available when the crew casts off.
Navy Department navigation ex-
pcrts said that persons with rea-
Ssonable intelligence, even without
i sea experience, could readily inter-
pret the charts. Not only do the
charts show distances and land
areas but they indicate currents
and prevailing wind directions that
can be used to great advantage in
setting a course.
The world is divided into six
major areas in plotting the charts
-the North Pacific, South Pa-
cific, North Atlantic, South Atlan-
tic, the Carribean Sea and the In-
dian Ocean. Charts are being made
for each month of the year for these
areas, but for the time being each
sheet will be printed with a winter
chart of the particular rea on one
side and a summer chart of the
same territory on the other.
The charts measure 26 by 38
inches and are packed in a carton
measuring 9 inches by 4%1 inches by
1% inches. Vessels will be issued
charts only for the area in which
they are to operate.
Old manuscripts show that the
manufacture of writing ink had
reached a high degree of perfec-
tion in the middle ages.

In addition to all the above, the

the disability that attaches to a
dishonorable discharge based on
conviction by general court martial
on a charge of wartime desertion.
Such men forever lose their Fed-

They are branded for all time as
the most odious of all things, "A
wartime deserter."


SILENT MESSAGE AT SEA FOR CONVOY


Tall Story
Gus Edwards, mechanic's mate,
is one of the navy's most season-
ed tale spinners. One day he was
sitting with,a group of English
tars, discussing the relative merits
of British and American ships.
"I'm curious about your car-
riers," one British tar said. "How
fast are they?"
Old Gus looked at him and re-
plied, "To tell you the truth, I
don't know. We've never really
opened them up. All they've been
required to do so far is to keep
up with the planes."-Tail Spins.

In Wartime "

By ADELAIDE KERR
AP Feature Writer
Mrs. Linville Martin, National
Junior League President, thinks the
war is going to boot women up-
stairs into bigger jobs.
"It's going to push them into
more important work than ever
before-if they deserve it-and
they'd better get ready," the soft
voiced Southerner warns.
"We're in the midst of a social
revolution. Class consciousness
is out."
Take that from the head of 36,-
000 Junior Leaguers, most of whom
have Social Register backgrounds.
"There is going to be greater
equality after this war and we'd
better be educating ourselves for I
the part intelligent citizens will
have to play in the new world
we live in. It's important for
people to begin right now read-
ing and thinking about a per-
manent peace, so that we will be
patient this time in evolving a
workable plaia and not be in such
a hurry to slam back to nor-
malcy."
To "broaden the outlook and
toughen the thinking" of the na-
tion's Junior Leaguers, Mrs.. Mar-
tin and her supporting .committee I/
added a good stiff course on world,
affairs to the 1943 agenda.
It is a part of a general Junior IIttlU
League system to harness the ca- i
abilities of its members in aid of
the community. Many of them give g
voluntary services in clinics, hos-
pitals, day nurseries and other
community centers.
"It's intelligent service we
want-n-ot just dallying," Mrs.
Martin says. "War work is com-
munity work. We have to keep
the home front strong or else why
win the war if we are going to
lose what we are trying to pro-
tect. If we send our boys out tb
fight for democracy we've got to E
live it at home.
"Anybody who is fortunate
enough to be born to a good
home, education and plenty of :
good food owes the less fortun-
ate members of society some
help. It's like the parable of the
ten talents. They have got to be
spent in good hard work which
makes the community a better
place to live in."
Mrs. Martin, wife of a major in
the air force and mother of three,
lives in Winston-Salem, North Car-
olina.

NAVY WOULD CURB

ABUSES OF PARCEL

POST PRIVILEGES

Navy personnel serving outside
of the United States may have
their privilege of receiving parcal
post mail further restricted un-
less certain abuses of this privi-
lege are eliminated.
At the present time the Navy
does not require the addressee to
obtain prior permission of his Com-
manding Officer to receive a pack-
age, whereas Army personnel
abroad is subject to this restriction.
Some merchandisers have taken
advantage of this situation to en-
courage the sending of an exces-
sive number of packages to over-
seas Navy personnel, with a con-
sequent flooding of regular parcel
post channels.
The regular flow of mail and
necessary parcel post packages to
Navy personnel is considered high-
ly desirable by the Navy and it is
reluctant further to restrict such
service. Continued abuse of the
package-sending privilege by vari-
ous merchandisers and individual
senders, however, might penalize
the entire personnel by an official
curb on parcel post service.
The current difference in regu-
lations governing the sending of
packages to soldiers, sailors and
marines is in no way unfair dis-
crimination, but is the result of
greatly different conditions under
which the two services operate.
One of the principal differences
is the fact that ships operate over
wide areas, and longer delays in
mail service are created. Conse-
quently many months might elapse
before a commanding officer's per-
mission could be obtained and for-
warded to the family and friends at
home to send packages. Moreover,
small ships run out of supplies and
frequently replacements of such
personal articles as might be sent
from home are not available.
Careful restriction of the size
and weight of packages sent over-
seas has been made necessary by
the continuing shortage of shipping
s, space on airplanes and cargo ves-
sels, which are sorely needed for
the movement of ammunition, food
and medical supplies and troops.

Marines Owe Their
Lives To Heroism Of
Young Corpsmen
(The following story was writ-
ten by Sergeant Samuel Shaf-
fer, of 1709 H St., N.W., Wash-
ington, D. C., a Marine Corps
Combat Correspondent.)
GUADALCANAL-(Delayed) -
No higher tribute can be paid the
Navy's young corpsmen, or medical
attendants, than the unstinting
praise lavished upon them daily
by Marines on the front here.
Back home the corpsmen, who
are attached to every Marine com-
pany, are called "swab jockies" by
the Leathernecks. Here they're
known as "Doc."
The usually hard-shelled Ma-
rines make no attempt to conceal
their admiration of the men. Many
owe their lives to the heroism of
these "swab jockies," who ignore
shell-fire and shrapnel to adminis-
ter first aid.
Here, in brief, are stories of some
corpsmen who shut their eyes to
their own safety to save the lives
of Marines:
Hospital Apprentice First Class
Richard H. Painter, 18, of Detrit,
Michigan, was with a patrol pin-
ned down by Jap machine gun fire.
When a man was seriously wound-
ed, Painter ran through the hail
of bullets to stop the flow of blood
and apply bandages. The corpe-
man was shot in the leg. Without
tending himself, he carried the
Marine to safety and then, saying
that stretchers were needed for
others, hobbled back to the first-aid'
station.
In night fighting three corpsmen
ran through fire to a ravine where
a big Jap shell had fallen on a
company of Marines, seriously
wounding six of them. In dark-
ness, while mortar shells exploded
about them and the Japs shouted
and banged knives against shell
cases to lure the Marines into firing
and thus disclose their location,
the corpsmen rendered life-saving
first aid. They gave the wounded
cigarettes and used their helmets
to cover the glow-helmets neces-
Ssary for their own protection when
shrapnel fell.
The corpsmen were Pharmacist's
Mate Third Class Richard Seaver,
17, of Detroit, Michigan; Hospital
Apprentice First Class J. Roy
Spence, 18, of Chowchilla, Califor-
nia, and Henry H. Sickler, 18,
Mossyrock, Washington.
On another sector, Pharmacist's
Mate Third Class Marion E. Por-
cupile, 18, of Seminole, Oklahoma,
left his foxhole to treat three
wounded men, one of whom had a
severely lacerated arm. For 45
minutes "Porky," as he is known
to the men, worked deftly in the
Smidst of falling shells. This morn-


ing the battalion surgeon told him
his speed had saved the life of the
boy with the wounded arm. A de-
lay of two minutes would have
meant death.
"Porky" was entitled to a rest
after that, but as he explains it,
"some mortar shells fell next door
and wounded three guys and I went
over to see what I could do."
On another occasion, a hail of
snipers' bullets felled two men in
a company which had just moved
up to the front. A call for a corps-
man went down the line, and, ob-
livious to the bullets he ran to the
wounded, tossing his helmet away
because it slowed him down.
Meanwhile the men of the com-
pany fanned out into action. They
blazed away with rifles and auto-
matic weapons until the ravine
ahead was clear of Japs.
"I can't hold those kids back,"
their commanding officer said.
"They hear a sniper and off they
go. They've got guts."
The two wounded men had re-
ceived superficial though painful
injuries. They lay silently, puf-
fing on cigarettes their buddies
placed between their lips, as the
corpsman dressed their wounds.
,I carty morphine.to deaden the
pain," the corpsman told me, "but
I haven't given it to anyone yet.
None of them will admit they're in
pain."

,Marine Runs To "Wrong Goal"


(The following story was writ-
ten by Sergeant Samuel Shaffer,
1709 H St., N.W., Washington,
D. C., a Marine Combat Corre-
spondent.)
GUADALCANAL (Delayed) -
The famous incident of the football
star who scored a touchdown, only
to discover that he had run in the
wrong direction, was recalled here
when a Marine unintentionally got
deep into Japanese lines.
Thinking he was going to the
rear of his own lines, Private
First Class Bernard Linquist, U.S.
M.C., 20, of 1310 Frank Avenue,
Albert Lea, Minnesota, wandered
nearly a mile and a half into Jap
territory. He didn't discover his
mistake until he had killed a Jap
and come to a river which he knew
was held by the enemy.
Linquist was working with an-
other company, and when its ob-
jective was reached, he left to
report to his own section.
It's easy to get lost in the
jungles of Guadalcanal. So Lin-
quist did not know he was head-
ing in the wrong direction when
he came upon a Jap leisurely sit-
ting on a log.
"I told him to surrender in the
only Jap words I knew," Linquist
said. "Instead, he started pulling
a grenade on me. I figured I


couldn't take him prisoner then, so
I shot him through the head, be-
fore he had a chance to pull out the
safety pin."
Suspicion began to gnaw at Lin-
quist as he climbed ridge after ridge
without seeing Marines. Finally
he saw a river which he knew was
still held by the Japs, The realiza-
tion hit him hard--he was about
2,500 yards in front of our front
lines.
"I was scared," he admitted. "I
had no compass with me and I had
failed to take any water along. I
didn't even have any grenades. All
I had was my rifle.
"I started back cautiously. I
heard some Jap voices and ducked
behind a tree, holding my breath
for fear they'd hear me, It was a
party of Japs carrying machine
guns. I decided to lay low 'till they
passed. I couldn't knock off many
with my rifle and if I tried, I'd
never get back. My own outfit
would think I was taken prisoner
and begin worrying. I had to get
back."
Linquist returned to his section
exhausted. He had been in Jap ter-

50 WORKING GIRLS
LEARN TO FLY IN
THEIR SPARE TIME
AP Features
BLYTHE, Calif.-Out here in
the California desert fifty young
women have been engaged in a co-
operative flying venture looking
forward to the day when the arm-
ed forces may call them to the
newly formed Women's Auxiliary
Ferrying Squadron.
They all are working girls in the
Los Angeles area and in addition
to chipping in their share of ex-
penses they drove 500 miles each
week-end. They couldn't practice
closer to home because civilian
planes are grounded in the coastal
area.
The girls called themselves
Eagles and sported smart military
uniforms. Their equipment was a
small, high-winged blue-and-gold
monoplane.
Their instructor was Commander
Bettie Lund, who has 4,500 hours
in the air.
Because of their jobs, they could
fly only on week-ends, but they
held a ground school in Los Ange-
les every Tuesday. They learned'
maintenance well enough to put 32
patches on their little ship and
otherwise kept it in flying condi-
tion.

By TOM WOLFE
NEA Staff Correspondent
UNITED STATES BOMBER
STATION, England, -Back home
we've some pretty mistaken ideas
about what's happening in the air
over western Europe.
We have the idea that our super-
bombers, manned by the world's
best air crews, roar over the con-
tinent, mow down enemy opposi-
tion, leave targets in a shambles
and, make miraculous returns in
safety despite missing engines and
flak and bullet-riddled fuselages.
But that is a sadly incomplete
picture. Here are the facts:
Fact number one is that our
heavy bombers are good planes.
Feats of the Fortresses are legion.
And you're going to hear lots more
about the Liberators before the
war is over. Lib pilots think Libs
are better than Forts. Fort pilots
think they're crazy. That's how
it ought to be. A pilot must trust
his ship.

Need More Experience


Fact two is that our air crews
are good. They're well trained and
they've got guts. But no air crew
in the world is tops until it has had
operational experience. At this
bomber station the consensus is
that a plane's not getting hit is 75
per cent luck and 25 per cent pilot-
ing. The men here feel their losses
would have been only half what
they are if they could have known
on their first missions what they
know now from bitter experience,
which is only gainable on missions.
Fact three is that the enemy is
good. Our airmen of this and other
USAAF bomber stations in Eng-
land are the only American heavy
bombardment groups who have
met the "first team" of the world's
most experienced air force on its
home grounds. German fighter
pilots are good, and they are ruth-
less. There's no sportsmanship in
airfighting. 'Because a plane out
of formation has far less defensive

fire power than it has in formation,
the Nazis gang up on stragglers
limping home. The effectiveness
of this unsportsmanlike practice
has frequently been demonstrated.
Not only is the enemy fighter op-
position good-so is the enemy flak.
Flak is sometimes more nerve-
wracking than fighters. For one
thing, you do not see it coming
until it bursts near you. For an-
other, you can't fight back at it.
Aside from "evasive action," you
just sit and take it.
Fact number four is that alti-
tude formation flying is no cinch
under any circumstances. It's
around 50 below five miles up. Oxy-
gen lines are literally lifelines.
Only when these first four facts
are fully understood, when we stop
thinking it's easy to bomb Europe,
will combat crews here get the
credit due them.
Bombs Miss-Sometimes
There are two more facts-of-
fensive facts-that should be
known by people at home. The
enemy already knows them.
First: Superior bombsight or
no superior bombsight, it's a hard
job to hit a pinpoint from five or
six miles up, even under perfect
conditions-meaning perfect vis-
ibility and all the time in the
world to make a bombing run.
Without this aerial Utopia, it is
inevitable that some raids will not
seriously damage the primary tar-
get-although they may serve
other important purposes like
keeping fighter and ground de-
fenses busy during daytime, while
the RAF does the same at night.
Second: To date the Eighth Air-
force Bomber Command has used
only comparatively small forces.
These offensive facts do not.
mean that we haven't hit the Ger-
mans hard and effectively. But a
comparatively small force com-
bined with inevitable human er-
rors in operations cannot "set the
continent on fire."

Use V-Mail
Service men who may soon go
overseas are urged by the Navy De-
partment to remember that by util-
izing the V-mail system they can
send and receive more promptly
without'time and space waste to the
war effort.
The use of V-mail cuts down the
carrying space about 98 per cent.
A mail bag containing 3,000 letters
weighs about 65 pounds. The same
number of letters on microfilm
weighs only 15 ounces, occupying
a space equal to two packages of
cigarets.
When service men ana their fam-
ilies use V-mail they thus save
weight needed for war equipment
and supplies at a ratio of 65 to 1.
The V-mail forms for letter writ-
ing can be obtained at any post
office and most stationery, depart-
ment and drug stores. A three
cent stamp carries the letter to the
port of embarkation, or a six cent
stamp carries it by air mail.
It is then photographed and the
microfilm sent overseas by air. If
the film is lost in transit, the let-
ters are simply rephotographed
from the master negative, and the
letters are re-sent.
The V-mail system is the quick-
est, as well as the most war-eco-
nomical, means of communication
between men overseas and their
families. It should be used in pref-
erence to all other forms of com-
munication.

Sports At The U. S. Coast


Guard Training Station...


BY BILL KASTELZ
Sports Editor of The Shield
On December 7, 1941, around 2 o'clock in the afternoon I'was one
of the 35,000 spectators in Wrigley Field up in Chicago watching the
Chicago Bears running all over a helpless opposition-well on their way
to another professional football championship.


The day was beautiful, ideal for4
football, and it was hard to imagine
Shat elsewhere in the world entire
nations were at each other's throats
playing a much grimmer game-
and playing for keeps.
Then came that never-to-be-for-
gotten announcement over the loud-
speaker system "This morn-
ing Japanese planes attacked the
United States naval base at Pearl
Harbor" .
It seemed as though somebody
threw a big cloak completely over
the huge stadium. A minute be-
fore, the tremendously enthusiastic
and noisy crowd, completely obliv-
ious to the earth-shaking treach-
ery going on half-way around the
world, was on its feet, cheering it-
self hoarse while the two football
teams down below provided thrill
after thrill for the packed stadium.
There wasn't any more cheering
that afternoon, at least not enough
to talk about. They might just as
well have called the game off right


then and there, for all the crowd
cared about it By the time
the game was over the stadium was
three-fourths empty.
This was it. Places like Pearl
Harbor, Dunkirk, Nanking, and all
the other thousand and one war-
torn battlefields of the world, that
just a few hours previous had
seemed a million miles away hit
those 35,000 spectators smack-dab
right between their 70,000 respec-
tive eyes. There wasn't much
question about it anymore. We
finally were in it!
Accept Challenge
Sports-minded America was
stunned by that attack on Pearl
Harbor-but just momentarily. For,
almost to a man, and without:the
aid of blaring bands and high-step-
ping majorettes, the flower of
American manhood, these self-same
football stars, took up the sword
and stepped forth to meet the chal-
lenge of the enemy.

Wake Island, Corregidor, Bataan

battlefields were the settings this
time-not the huge packed bowls
and horseshoes that Joe College
used to cut his capers in, while
Betty Co-ed cheered him on to
victory.
FOR YESTERDAY'S JOE COL-
LEGE IS THE JACK TAR OR
JOHNNY DOUGHBOY OF TO-
DAY!
The luster that accompanies the
All-American intercollegiate selec-
tions each year, was somewhat
dimmed last season, because there
were millions of other American
youths blazing new paths of glory
across bloodied battlefields, oil-
slicked seas, and tracer-torn skies.
Athletics were shoved into the
background, but only temporarily
so. Uncle Sam quickly realized
the necessity of recreation for the
millions of young men fighting un-
der and for Old Glory. A quick
surveillance of the personnel of his
fighting forces disclosed a wealth
of athletic material reading like a
"Who's Who in American Sports."
The hundreds of army, navy, and
air stations all over the country
took to the idea immediately, and,
almost overnight, athletic teams
mushroomed at every training cen-
ter in the land.
Explosive Start
Here in St. Augustine at the
Coast Guard Training Station,
sports got away to a faster and
more explosive start than at most
of the training stations in the
country.
Hardly had the station moved
here from New Orleans, than the
men dug out the athletic parapha-
nelia, and, under the coaching of
CBM Glen C. Cooper, swung right
into the basketball season.
Handicapped by lack of time for
practicing and by a late start, the
team, nevertheless, plowed into a
heavy schedule with high spirits.
It's true they lost a game now and
then, but for every one they lost,
they won three.
The All-Stars, as they were dub-
bed, -hit the season's peak by crush-
ing the Jacksonville Army Air Base
Bombardiers 89-48 and from there
went on to whip three powerful
opponents by top-heavy scores to
capture, undoubtedly, the service
championship of the State of Flor-
ida, and; mythically, of the entire
southeastern United States.
Great Combination
Of that great combination, and
I do mean GREAT, only a few are
still here at the training station.
Such stars as Herb Robinson, Ray
Frederick, and Mark Below are
elsewhere in the world. Not much
remains from that glory-crowned
basketball season, except a few
pleasant memories and the knowl-
edge that they met-and bested-
the best.
'The baseball season, from all
outward appearances, looks like
another splash of glory for the
Stars. In the season's first two
starts, they whipped the Ponte
Vedra Coast Guardsmen twice, by
scores of 5-0 and 12-1. At the
time of this writing, it's hard to
see them losing very many games
this season.
Blessed by a galaxy of former
major and minor league stars,
Coach Cooper has on his hands
truly one of the finest diamond
combines in this region. An ex-
tensive schedule is being drawn up
Sor the coming season, and St. Au-
;ustine's baseball fandom will be
far from slighted when it comes to
Watching high cAliber baseball dur-
ing the coming months.
All-Stars Best
It is my guess that the Coast
Guard All-Stars will prove them-
selves to be the best team in the
state of Florida in baseball, as well
as basketball. Not far and away
the best, but the best.
Though not publicized quite so
much as the aforementioned sports,
there are other interests along the
line of athletics for the recreation

Naval Training School. Here they swing out in a square dance as'

and enjoyment of Coast Guards-
men stationed in St. Augustine.
In order to prepare the recruits
to meet the enemy on his own
grounds and at his own game, the
science of "judo" is stressed by the
Coast Guard physical education de-
partment. This combines boxing,
wrestling, street fighting, the ap-
plication of scientific leverage and
knowledge of the vital parts of a
human body-all thrown into one.
While this gaining is not as inten-
sive as that given to the "com-
mandos," it, nevertheless, gives
every Coast Guardsman an idea of
what to expect in hand-to-hand
combat in the battle areas.
Boat racing out on Matanzas Bay
every Saturday afternoon between
the various recruit companies is
something looked forward to by
participants and spectators alike.
The sight of straining shoulders,
oars flashing in the brilliant sun-
light, and barking coxswains, is
inspiring to every sports-minded
American youth, so it is small won-
der that the races are looked for-
ward to all week long.
Boxing is a comparatively new
sport at the training station, but
Chief Steve Vrsata's punchers, al-
though losing their first two starts
against Lee Field this year, are
improving daily, and it would not
surprise me in the least to see the
boxing team right on top of the
heap at the end of the season.
Obstacle Course
The newly-constructed obstacle
course located two short blocks
away from the Ponce de Leon Hotel
is another phase of commando
training given to recruits. Al-
though the course may seem rather
simple to the average bystander,
a fast work-out all the way through
it impresses pretty thoroughly up-
on the recruit just what he may be
in for under actual battle condi-
tions.
The' average American citizen
may find it rather hard to under-
stand just why all this is being
given to the Coast Guard recruit.
It's to prepare him for duty with
a service that is just as tough as
they come. On far-flung battle
seas, in foreign lands and in the
air as well as on our own
coasts, the United States Coast
Guard is once again in the thick
of the scrap usually the first
there, just as it has always been.
The life is tough, and the only way
to cope with it is to get tough.-
Prominent Place
That is why athletics will always
have a prominent place in the cur-
ricula of the Coast.Guard recruits
here in St. Augustine.


Who knows but that on the mor-
row those who have covered them-
selves with athletic glory by drop-
ping in field goals from the center
of a basketball court, will be cov-
ering themselves with greater
glory by dropping depth charges on
Axis submarines or those now
pitching baseballs will tomorrow
be pitching hand-grenades?
The Coast Guard life is rigorous.
Small wonder, then, that the
Coast Guard motto is "Semper

Rumor Mongers

The rumor monger is almost in-
variably a small-minded individual
who is under the delusioni that as
long as he is first to deliver "news"
to his shipmates he automatically
gains in prestige and popularity.
Then there is the "comic" type, the
guy with the "terrific" sense of hu-
mor who considers it a major
achievement to instigate a success-
ful rumor that may heckle his ship-
mates. We don't know why, but
somehow they consider it a mark
of high intelligence or sophistica-
tion to spread these baseless ru-
mors which in the end are worse
than ill winds, for they blow no-
body any good.
The truth is that the rumor
monger is far from an intelligent
type. If so, he would certainly pay
more thought and consideration to
the morale and welfare of his ship-
mates and realize the harmful pos-
sibilities that may result from his
foolish pranks.
The rumor monger can have but
little or no understanding of his
social obligations and responsibili-
ties. Otherwise he would realize
that under the stress of these war
days the fates of most of us are
subject to change almost momen-
tarily.
The spreading of idle and irre-
sponsible rumors is in very poor
taste and could easily become a ser-
ious detriment to morale as well
as efficiency.
An idle mind, from whence ru-
mors usually spring, is the devil's
workshop. In any efficient organi-
zation, military or civilian, there is
no place for rumors. Almost any
place they are a nuisance and a
pointless waste of time.

)


ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.-Now
a WAAC auxiliary, ex-diving
champ Martha Meals Bunting, is
determined to burnish a distin-
guished family tradition of mili-
tary service.
A direct descendant of Lord Nel-
son, the British naval hero, and
grandniece of the late Lord John
Bunting of World War I fame,
this diving champ is an all-round
sports star.
"I always had energy to spare,"
the athletic WAAC declares. "I
figured the Army could use it and
I mean to give all I can in every
way I can."
Auxiliary Bunting's family has
been represented in every British
and American war since 1747. She
is the daughter of Mrs. John Bunt-
ing of the city, ani Major Bunting,
on active duty with the Army.
Like her famous forebear, Lord
Nelson, Auxiliary Bunting is
short-statured and red-haired. She
is a former high-diving champion
of Central America and the Pana-
ma Canal Zone, where she lived for
15 years.
She was a member of the Olym-
pic team in 1936, competing in Los
Angeles, and also swam for the
University of Panama. In addi-
tion to diving championships, Aux-
iliary Bunting is Panama doubles
champion in tennis and won the
Panama women's golf crown in
1935, '36 and '37.
Auxiliary Bunting received her
Bachelor of Medicine degree from
the University of Panama in 1938.
In 1940, she,took nurses' training
at Herricks Hospital, Bouc Ceta,
Panama. She did post graduate
work at the University of Minne-
sota at Minneapolis the same year
and studied also at Northwest In-
stitute of Medical Technology at
Minneapolis.
Riflery and palmistry are her
favorite hobbies. She has no op-
portunity to practice the former
in the women's Army, for WAACs
are not permitted the use of fire-

Farm Bureau

ORLANDO (FNS)-Enrollment
of East Palm Beach and Escambia
County in the ranks of the Florida
Farm Bureau Federation has been
announced by. John Ford, executive
secretary, making a total of 24
Bureau groups now organized in
the state.
The legislative program of the
federation calls for a curb on the
inordinate powers of labor unions,
a single advertising stamp for all
citrus fruits, carry-over of citrus
research funds into a new fiscal
year, and sufficient funds for ade-
quate citrus inspection, including
road guards, without digging'into
other inspection fees.
The federation asserts that
adoption of the Bankhead Bill by
Congress will not create inflation.
It points out that government fig-
ures show that while farmers con-
stitute 22 per cent of our popula-
tion, they receive less than 10 per
cent of the national income; in 1942
farm income increased only one
billion dollars over the peak of
World War 1, while non-farm in-
come upped more than 55 billion;
farn prices today are 10 per cent
below World War 1, and hourly pay
of industrial workers is nearly two
and a half times greater than the
top for that period; and.that today
the average non-farm family is
paying a lower percentage of its
income for food than at any time
during'tlie past 30 years. Today
22 per cent of the average non-
farm family income is spent for
food compared to 38 per cent at
the peak of World War 1.

SWAAC Training
Center Located
In Nearby City
Many Women In Khaki
Are Welcomed Here
As Visitors


One of the five big training cen-
ters in the nation for the Women's
Army Auxiliary Corps is almost
within hailing distance of St. Aug-
ustine, being located at Daytona
Beach, about 50 miles to the south.
Many WAAC's come here on
leave, and are given the cordial
welcome accorded to others in serv-
ice. Young women are invited to
enjoy entertainment facilities, and
make St. Augustine home as often
as possible when they are in this
part of the country.
The Second WAAC Training
Center at Daytona Beach is a huge
thing, with a tent city for recruits
and a cantonment area. Hotels,
office buildings, storerooms and
garages all over the city have been
taken over to help house the
WAAC's, and their various train-
ing schools. These include the Mo-
tor Transport School, Communica-
tions School, Cooks and Bakers
School and Administrative School.
Young women in uniform are learn-
ing how to do many things, and do
them well. They are replacing
men in various positions, and re-
leasing men for active combat.
The WAAC's are not quite a year
old yet. Last May the first con-
tingent of officers went to Fort
Des Moines, Ia., to be trained. Now
there are five great training cen-
ters, turning out thousands of!
trained, efficient young women
each month.

so many different interests that
some of them are sure to have
research work as one of those
interests.
Many sojourners and visitors
here, connected with different
branches of the service, have been
delighted to find two very fine
historical libraries in the commun-
ity. One is the Webb Memorial
Library of the .St. Augustine His-
torical Society and Ibstitute of
Science oil St. Francis'Street, of
which Mrs. E. W. Lawson is acting
librarian, and the other is the
library of the Florida Historical
Society, located upstairs over the
St. Augustine Gas Company on
Cathedral Street, with Mrs. Alberta
/Johnson as acting librarian, while
Watt Marchman,. librarian, is in
military service.
, Both of these libraries have very
fine collections of books, manu-
scripts and maps. Their collections
of Floridiana are outstanding. In
other years hosts of people have
come here especially to do research
work. 'Naturally, due to the war,
many who are doing research now,
and visiting these .fine libraries,
are service men and women anxious
to do something of the kind, during
leisure time.

Slogan For Wo

Secretary Knox Addresses,
Message On
Enlistment
Every recruit a recruiter-this is
the new slogan for the WAVES and
SPARS, says Lieutenant Com-
mander T. J. Needham, officer in
charge of recruiting at the Jack-
sonville office. He points out that
women volunteers can sell the
Navy to others, because by their
own action in enlisting, they show
that they are sold themselves on i
war participation in a branch of
the service that needs and wants
them.
Secretary of the Navy Frank
Knox addresses a message to every
woman who wants a part in win-
ning the war saying:
Never Before
"Never in history have Ameri-
can women been offered such a
chance to serve their country.
Never has there been such an urg-
ent need for their service.
"This is total war-a war in
which every woman as well as
every man must play a part. The
men in the Navy and Coast Guard
are in for one reason alone-to
fight! They're in to fly the planes,
man the ships, smash the Nazis
and Japs.
Man-Size Jobs
"But to keep them fighting, there
are important service jobs that
must be carried on at home-man-
size, full-time jobs which you, the
women of America, can fill-jobs
in which you can serve your coun-
try in your country, and release
the men to fight at sea.
"That is what you-as a member
of the WAVES or SPARS-can do
to help win this war."
