Our division is a divided oneness. Our gun gang takes care of the problems relating to ordnance and the clerk gang handles everything relating to work on the deck. Despite the natural split we cooperate well and feel an overall pride in each otheris work and in the Third Division as a whole. We. in the future as in the past, will strive to do our job to the best of our ability. Our job is big, but the Third Division is bigger and more than eager to have it done in first-rate fashion.

The Fourth Division, sometimes known as C'Fitz7s Fueling Fools or 'gWiscy7s Best Five-lnchersf' has one of the Hnest collections of characters on the ship. At the outset of the Far Eastern Cruise the division gained two new ofiicers and some sixty new men. The first part of the rebuilding job was to find a P.P.O. This was done by drafting E. B. Waldrop from the 5th Division and from then on the job was easy. Anytime you want a chit signed or something comeshawed just drop up to Mount 52 and see Hank Kurtz-youill have no trouble. The fourth also has a great group of liars who match wits in their daily gear-locker meetings. Drop in sometime and swap RCGICY, E- F- Strader, C. S. Williams. G. Huddleston. NTIDDLE Iliiow: J.. M.
