This lap, like the first. has been
pleasant, relatively uneventful and
cruiselike, We all know already a
good deal about Arabic and first
aid, a little about military Gus
toms and drills; those who knew no
French have learned some, and by
the time we arrive at our final
destination we all should have a
pretty fair idea of motor mechan-
ics-all of which should cut down
to minimum the inevitable wait
ing around before getting into &C
ton.
Hectic Week of Prepare ton.
Imagine you would like to know
how Christmas was with us. A week
before the G. o. asked me to con-
stitute one-man entertainment
committee for our unit Forgetting
about the impending big day and
thinking of group singing. parlor
games and the like. I happily &C
cepted. When I realized that night
what I had undertaken, there be-
gan one of the most hectic weeks
of preparation I have experienced
Christmas eve arrived. Many of
the boys were homesick and miser-
able-a few were trying to Danish
the Yule spirit from their minds,
feeling that such routines as black
out watch and bandaging practice
were more Immediately important
and satisfying. But about o'clock.
a little after a great full moon
had pulled itself over the horizon.
putting out the phosphorescence in
the water, everybody gathered on
the deck tennis court amidships
and waited.
In the shadows above, glee club
stood on the A deck balcony and
waited, too Then the leader, boy
in my squad, raised his arm, and
the song went out over the tropic
sea-"Joy to. the World, the Lord Is
Come" Just one verse. very short
the glee club sounded like the
philharmonic. Right away then,
without pause, the glee club began
huming Silent Night" and voice
from the darkness spoke the Christ
mas story from the second chapter
of Luke-and beautifully, too. Then
"Adeste Fideles '-followed by four
carols sung by everybody aboard;
then back to the glee club for God
Rest Ye Merry. -, then Jingle
Bells" introducing another voice
which told about the Might Before
Christina" finally mag
nificent vocal arrangement of I'm
Dreaming of White Christmas.
All done without word of announc-
ing or master of ceremony-and
everybody said it was one of the
SWEETEST things they ever heard.
15Foot Wooden Tree.
That was Christmas eve. Came
the morn, and after breakfast the
gang was encouraged to repair to
B deck aft. where they found a
magnificent wooden Christmas tree,
IS feet high if an inch, tastefully
decorated with colored paper and
rope and bits Of the white stringy
stuff they use for swabbing down the
decks Around the bottom of the
tree was enough fudge to make
every one sick.
A few minutes later came a great
banging of bells, and around the
corner whipped magnificent sleigh,
drawn by eight prancing reindeer
one OF whom fell fat on his face.

wear his spectacles on the outside
of his reindeer mask.

is obtaining personal testimony from
men of all ranks as to delays on
letters both to and from America.
Comdr Callahan says he believes
there will be instant improvement
as the service becomes better CO.
ordinated. and it may be possible to
cut days from delivery times.
The Nays mail problem is con-
siderably more difficult than that
of the Army he explains. An Army
unit has at least stationary head
quarters where letters can be sent
by the quickest available means and
where the units facilities locate the
man. The Navy has to get mail to
rapidly shifting ships. For trans
Atlantic mail the headquarters are
in New York. There it is split up
according to ships and the problem
may become almost one of higher
mathematics.
Seaman x is on ship B, last re-
ported confldentially in Reykjavik,
but due to sail in three days for
Casablanca and return to Belfast.
Is there a Navy ship, or any mail
carrying ship, leaving the United
States likely to reach Casablanca
in time to deliver Seaman's letter
before his ship has started for Ire
land? Or would it be better to send
the letter directly to Belfast? Many
factors arise, such as speed of ships,
weather and enemy action. 1t is
inevitable that some mistakes occur
The service is in charge of Capt
Carl Holden, director of naval COM
munications in Washington, who
has communications officer at
every base to facilitate operations
Comdr. Callahan said They must
always bear in mind the question of
security-much more complex when
mail is being delivered to mobile
bases than when the bases are sta
tionary. A slip might reveal the
destination Of a squadron to the
enemy. This has made difficult
making available cheap cable serv-
ice which is provided for soldiers
at many stations.
He has found. 1t. Comdr. Gala
han said, that airmail from naval
bases in Great Britain is getting
back to 1.-The United States in an
average of 10 days. The great bulk
of sailor mail must go on ships,
however, and it is complex prob
lem for fleet post Offices whether to
put it on slow ship or wait for a
fast one due in few days later.
A letter may reach the United
States days behind another mailed
week later. The service is bound
to improve with better weather in
the spring, 1t. Comdr Callahan
said, and it is q matter in which Sec
rotary Knox is taking a personal
interest because of the Importance
of mail in keeping up morale.
