C0 the reSC,l put nave so much trouble finding time to write to everyone. This training program up here at Sampson is not settled as yet and each day we get new orders to do something just a bit differently. You know the old story in the Navy about how diff ferent officers give counter com mands. Well, that's just how it is here. One day we are told to fix our lockers up one way end the next day we are told to use an en- tirely new system. This morning, for instance, we were told to hit the deck at five A. M. instead of the usual five thirty. Tomorrow we'll probably rise and shine ct four.
 We've had several lectures, one on sex hygiene, the others on insur- anceS, allotmentS, allowances and the articles for the government of the navy.

 We wish to reply to a bit of gossip which appeared in the last issue of the Sub" concerning the "Biography of Timekeeper." We wish to state that we consider Frank Allaire a true friend to all of us, which is whole lot more than we can say for some around here.
 In these trying times friendship should mean very much to all of us, but there are some here who don't know even the meaning of the word. There is no time for petty gossip as we are here to build boats including those who think of sE-called jokes that aren't even funny. We believe that if you can't say something good about your fellow man, hold your tongue.
 Victory Yard TinshOp Editors
 May I inquire why 1t Is that the End shift in the South Yard are not able to get "The Sub" every time it comes out?
 I have had three copies In sew en months.
 Truly yours,
 w. H. sloane Dear MT. GlOaneI
 We try our best to get a copy of 'The Sub" to every Electric Boat Company employee. At the present time 19 boys distribute "The Sub" at the Main and South yard gates. These boys cover all three shifts. On the second shift, which you have reference to, the boys go di- rectly to the Main and South yard gates from school to distribute the paper. Unfortunately, however, they are unable to start passing out the paper until after the gates have opened, and, the early birds miss ''The Sub."-The Editors. Editor:
 Having been in legitimate busi- ness for 8 number of years before the War forced me out and hav- ing since been employed by the Electric Boat Company, l would like to enter my complaint in re- gards to the business being car- ried on by g few privileged em- ployees in the Main, South and Victory yards.
 These so called merchants who are earning an average weeks pay, the same as the rest of us, are al- lowed to bring in Cigars, Cigar cites, Candy, Dry Goods, Shoes, etc, and sell them at a higher price than they can be procured on the outside, because of the fact that we cannot get them during working hours at our convenience.
 Every SO often the employees of the Main, South and Victory yards are stopped at their respective gates and subject to the inspection of their lunch boxes by the guards, but these merchants who have no overhead or income tax expendi- lures are allowed free passage at all times.
 Speaking of the War effort, how do you think 1t makes the average Mechanic who has put in his time, and l mean time, on his particular trade for a number of years see- ing these merchants day after day doing a land office business H. legally?
 I could name individuals prac- tically in every department in the Main, South and Victory yards who are in these rackets, but I am leaving it up to you readers of "The Sub" to decide whether or not something should be done to ease the tension among the work CTS of the E. B. Co.,, the majority who earn their pay, while others are only in because of the op- portunities and the advantages they take during this War crisis.
 Let's have some letters on this subject.
