The Executive Officer, CDR. W. M. Ryon Saturday Inspection t EXECUTIVE DEP RTME T GUR daily lives are continually regulated by this small but busy department. The Exec- utive Department should really be called the Administration Department since it handles countless matters pertaining to administration: Officers and enlisted personnel records, ship's orders or memoranda, berthing, printing, legal matters, enforcing the ship's discipline, educa- tion, morale, training, library service, religious services, Public Information, and let us not for- get our daily gouge-The Plan of the Day. Lt. Wriglit assists the Executive Oflicer with numerous administrative details, While Ensign Schrier supervises training. Chaplains Frame and Szczesny look after the spiritual welfare of the crew. Warrant Officers Jones and Gifford keep the yeomen in the Captain's and Executive OfHcer's offices hopping. For such a small de- partment they certainly have enough work to do-Ask anyone in it!

CHAPLAINS WHILE the Leyte was preparing for departure to her new assignment in the Pacific, she received two new chaplains aboard. They were LCDR. C. A. Frame, USN, Senior, and Lt. C. A. Szczesny, USN, Junior Chaplain. Prior to this time there had been only one Chaplain. Immediately, Catholic and Protestant programs were set up aboard. When the War zone was reached, conducting religious functions became a problem due to heavy operational load. Many Sundays there were six Divine Services held for the pilots and men between sorties. Prayers were said for the sick and injured, and special classes of instruction, Devotions, and Bible classes were held on week days. Most men became more in- terested in their faith through the services ren- dered by the Chaplains. Many were helped to solve their problems by their ministrations. There was considerable correspondence with families inquiring aboutgthe welfare of service- men. The Chaplains did other things for the crew. They represented the men on the Recreation Councils, they published a ship's paper, handled the Red Feather Campaign and the March of Dimes. The Library received several thousand copies of new books. Hundreds of games were distributed. Contests and tournaments were fea- tured. Orders for Christmas flowers were taken, to be telegraphed throughout the United States and Canada. There were five shows given aboard ship and five dances held on the beach in foreign waters. These and other accomplishments left nothing to be desired of the Chaplains.
