There are but few hiding places aboard ship that the orderlies don't know about when they are looking for a per- son and they have been accused by some officers of being part bird-dog. 4. 4'To Render Honors For All Visiting Digni- tariesf' The Marines furnish a full guard which is pa- raded for, and inspected by visiting Flag Officers and other important persons. ln recent weeks, the guard has developed a fancy drill consisting of a spin manual and uQueen-Anne salutew under the tutelage of Sergeant Miller, with Sergeant Politte and Corporal O7Neil furnishing ideas.

To foul up an old saying, aliivery Dog Division has its Dayf' Ours is a Boston bulldog by the name of LTJG Lloyd F. Day, a work-hard from the Engineering Department. Witll a smile that could make roses bloom in the sand locker and a frown that makes the gruffest old boatswain shiver in his Hong Kong boots, Mr. Day, the shipis First Lieutenant, accomplishes ta tre- mendous volume and variety of shipis work. He can be readily recognized by newcomers, heis the man Who starts off every conversation with 4LWe don't have aliyfi Assisted by his two able tentacles, LTJG F. Crawford, Jr., and ENs Thomas E. Jones, the First Lieutenant and his boys aid, abet, and coordinate the work of the deck divisions in their maintenance of the ship, doling out the paint and polish, not to mention Pf0miSes. They see to it that the shipis boats are run On schedule, an important point for a liberty-loving crew, and dangle hoards of side-cleaners over the gunwales at every opportunity in order to keep the Wiscy looking her Sunday best. CHBOSN James Duff is the mainstay of the deck force and to most of us seems to be as much a part of the ship as a man could be. ltis been said that he was aboard the WISCONSIN before it was taken out of mothballs. At any rate, as emcee of the Sail Locker and the Boatswainis Locker he supervises that part of ship's work which is as old as the Navy itself. The LTJG F. CRAWFORD, JR.
