PECIAL ERVICE DIVISIO LIEUT. JAMES W. RICHARDSON, MSC, USN Special Services Officer The Special Services Division is charged with providing and administering a well-balanced program of indoor and outdoor recreation for staff and patient personnel. The Division is headed by a Medical Service Corps officer who is assisted by an athletic director, a stenographer-book- keeper, a property clerk, two librarians, two Station-paper editors, and several other enlisted personnel, who are well qualified to perform their share of the various functions of the Divisions. All personnel are military, except the two librarians and the stenographer-bookkeeper. The Division is divided into an Administrative Branch, a Recreation Branch, a Library Branch and a Property Branch. The Administrative Branch administers the Recreation Fund, maintains accounting records on all receipts and dis- bursements of recreation funds, and accomplishes the neces- sary clerical procedures for the efficient administration of the Division. The Recreation Branch is charged with administering the Recreation and Entertainment Program and exercising con- trol over the use of the Recreation Fund for recreational purposes. This branch is responsible for periodic shows, nightly movies and arranging parties for all hands. The physical fitness program is also administered by this branch. These activities include the operation of a nine-hole golf course, two tennis courts, a swimming pool and the hospital athletic field. Both intramural and varsity sports are in- cluded in the program. The Library Branch furnishes patients and staff members with adequate organized collections of books and other materials intended for educational, informational, technical, reference and recreational reading. The Property Branch maintains prescribed records of all recreation fund equipment and supplies and maintains an adequate stock of such materials. Numerous supply and equipment items are maintained for checking out to author- ized personnel on a returnable basis. This is a very popular service in that it obviates the necessity of many personnel buying items, such as camping equipment. Many of the programs and activities performed by the division stem from recommendations submitted by the En- listed Recreation Committee, which is composed of enlisted members from the various departments, who represent all en- listed personnel on the compound. The Committee meets once each month and submits recommendations to the Recreation Council which is composed of three officers. The Recreation Council meets and recommends action on the Enlisted Com- mitteeis report to the Commanding Officer. This system af- fords representation to all hands, since each person can voice his opinions and desires to his committee representative. Most of the expenses connected with Special Services functions are paid from the Recreation Fund, which con- sists of profits derived from the operation of the Navy Ex- change. Each month the profits from the Navy Exchange are forwarded to the Navy Ships' Store, Brooklyn, New York,
