Their jo b was not an easy one this cruise, especially with all the moving around we ' ve done, yet they carried on in the finest tradition of the U. S. Postal Service; The mail must go through , and it did, lor free even. Our Special Services, consistirg of the Athletic Gear Locker, Hobby Shop, and the Ship ' s Library, is adequately run by Special Services yeoman J. P. Gramps PORTFLII.
