V 5 Q. L. I am-..., - xv , .G V5 My -A Like any city, I provide a variety of services for my inhabitants. To keep my hen well stocked with everything from toothpaste to wrist watches, my S-3 Division operates tour ship's stores. Taking advantage of the reasonable prices on hundreds of items in stock, my men purchase thousands of dollars worth ot commodities each month. The profits made by the four stores and the always crowded soda fountain are placed in the Recreation Fund, where they help pay for divisional parties, professional entertainment, athletic equipment, and other recrea- tional services for my men. The men of S-3 also keep my barber shops, tailor shop, cobbler shop, and laundries operating on a full-time schedule. 1-f Top row Qlett to rightbg Grigsby, C., Garza, A.P., Winkel, G.R., Robinson, S.V., North, G.W,, ' ' - .l h Hill, GV., Kline, GR., Rusk, C., Dufore, T.A.

In the space of one month, they dole out a cool half million dollars in greenbacks or Military Payment Certificates, exclusive of the S'l5,000 in monthly per diem checks. Contrary to popular belief, handling all that money is hard work. It entails burning the midnight oil in order to keep p y P and balance the books. eti1,E.E., Tolentino, F.C., Schramelc, EC., erson, C.E., Harrell, .l.W., Allen, l'l.l..
