'i WELFARE 8z REC COMMITTEE The Enlisted Welfare and Recreation Committee of the USS BARTON is composed, as the title expresses, of enlisted men of the BARTON. Each division elects a man to represent their particular division. This committee submits recommendations to the Welfare and Recreation Council, which is composed of officers. This council is primarily for the purpose of approving any proposal submitted to them by the Enlisted Welfare and Rec Committee. The members of the Committee are: Edmond R. Lauer, Jr. , HMC, Chairman, Jack C. Burns, SH1, Roy C. Wheaton, FT1g Richard W. Umnus, PN2, Recorder, Antonio ful Sorrentino, MM2g John W. Hartline, YNSNg and Donald I. Gustin, BMSN. The Committee conducts a monthly meeting and such other meetings as conditions may Warrant. At such meetings, the Committee's attention is focused on matters that will make for a happier BARTON crew. An example of the Work of the Committee was the Ship's Party in Sasebo, Japan, just before departure for the U. S. A. This proved to be a very successful affair. The Committee also purchased some useful athletic equipment, costing 55165. 00. When a BARTON shipmate received an overseas tele- gram informing him that his father was critically ill, the Committee put at the man's disposal enough money to enable him to return via international airlines. Such things as this make for one of the best Welfare and Rec Committees any ship of any fleet of any Navy could have. i Left to right around the table.
