He and his staff, how- ever, more than carried the burden. Running neck and neck with the joke department in popularity was undoubtedly the cartoon section under the direction of jack Kalina. With contributions from such ace cartoonists as Roop, Schwartz, X. X. Virg Partchu Migoo1 , and R. W. Anderson, Kalina and his staff always turned out an issue loaded with fine drawings.

The purpose of these articles is to convey general knowledge about the U. S. Navy, they cover every typeiof naval craft from battleships to P-T's. The job of selecting, rewriting, and organizing all of these articles falls upon the professional staff.
