f all-g ill , ll I Lay down to the Post Otlfice, all Division Petty Qfficers, and L dra-a-aw your mail. Not a happier word piped for the men who spend their time, for the most part, away from their loved ones. News from home can do more for a sailor than anything bestowed, and the mail orderly com- ing aboard with a sack of mail on his back makes the original sack carrier, Santa Claus, look like a bum. . Q A Post Oflice on a ship like the Mighty K is a trim, clean, eflicient W unit. lt is subject to weekly, quarterly and surprise inspections, and our Post Uflice performed in the standard that is expected, 4.0. 1--is Long stretches sometimes interx ene between mail cal mg on the ship s schedule and adx entures. When the through, it is nice to knon that Mary still lovwynu, OK, that the gang at the oflice remembers you, or even is spending his time kicking around until daddy him for the first time. ' , nl he Kenton's men did their part too in making r going facilities. And this is neither here nor there, A do a lot of cynics a world of good to censor 501116 nf, mail. You'd find that the American sailor, vintage tops. You d know it when you read that mail.
