MEDICAL DEPARTMENT Medical: lst Row, Didizian, Benafield, Wallace, Crow, Kidwell, 2nd 'Rowf Pannebecker, Diebold, Reilly. MEDICAL DEPARTMENT Ensuring the health of the crew is the main fun- ction of the Medical Department. And the medic's iob is a varied one, one which entails more skill and responsibility than the eye of the casual observer can discern. The ,routine medical care given at sick call is only a part of it, included are the inspections of the ship's food supplies, water, living spaces, and messing facilities-and the inevitable shots. The DELTA's reputation of being a. Can Do ship applies to the Medical Department, too. Services rendered to ships alongside cover almost every phase of our facilities: consultation, minor surgery, laboratory and pharmacy work. Patients from other vessels are admitted to the ward and receive the same treatment as DELTA personnel. Repairs effected by the DELTA, then, include to men as well as machines. DENTAL DEPARTMENT lt is Dental Department's responsibility, first, to provide adequate dental care for our crew which is best achieved by examining periodically and subsequently treating those in need of treatment and, second, to provide dental care and treatment for the crews of other ships not having dental facilities, particularly those whose ships are alongside the DELTA for repairs. The dental personnel-in providing dental care- restore, remove, and replace teeth and also treat diseased conditions of the adiacent soft and supporting tissues of the mouth. Additionally, they do dental examinations, provide for cleaning of the teeth, and repair and adiust dentures. V The personnel of the Dental Department believe they have the 'Can Do spirit, and they practice what they believe.

CHAPLAIN'S MESSAGE The theme for Armed Forces Day, 1955, was, 'Power for Peace. Power can be directed towards true peace, or power can be the agency of slavery. Evidence of its capacity to destroy human freedom and happiness are partly buried behind the walls and curtains of the Communist world. - Two great powers face each other in our world today, and the use of power on each side is determined by their ideas and principles. Our forefathers guided and directed power by Christian religious ideals and principles, and our nation has prospered mightily. The direction of our power for peace depends on whether individual Americans accept the laws of God as the guide to individual and national happiness and to international good order. L The role of religion in the Naval service is to bring the influence of God and religion into the lives of our men in service as a guide to personal happiness and for the welfare of our service and our country. -D.
