Band Room Notes By John Clinton

Rather than let the Sub forget that we have good Band here at E. B., an giving few notes of interest to bandsrnen and thair friends trusting I don't get few musical notes In return.
 Our former first chair trumpet player, Tony Fallicj. is now play- ing with a name band at Miami .5eacn, Florida. He writes to ay that while we are freezing here on the boats he is reclining on the sunshiny sands of Florida. Lots of luck, Tony!
 And while we are speaking of former baEldsmen we also received a card from Joseph Rash, who ls also down south playing with an Army band.
 Our new band room at the south yard is quite an improvement over the old one at the machine shop. The only thing that is not in is favor is the fact it is so far from the north yard, but listen, Ralph Brooks, Bob Waterman and Tiny Watts, you just tell Joe Garvey that it takes a little more time to walk down there. We really miss you boys at the Wednesday noon rehearsals.
 Several of the men are playing with the State Guard Band over in New London, Sergeant Sam Jones IS recruiting few more men for this organization. If you can play an instrument and can give an evening a week you are most cordially invited to join up. MT. Amigato Rodgers of the main nna- chine shop Is the bandmaster.

Petroleum PrOUeS Life Blood Of Nauy's SeG-Air Striking Force

has hundreds of diesel-powered ve- hicles including tanks. The Navy uses diesel-propulsion for vessels ranging from huge submarines tO small landing craft.
 The last and smallest military use of petroleum products, but one without which all the others would be unavailing, is lubricants. The volume of lubricants consumed by the Army and Navy is about oner sixth the volume of fuel oil and about half the volume of diesel oil. In a raid like that on, Wake our planes will use gallon of oil for every 100 gallons of gasoline.
 Thus far we have been able to meet the heavy demands for oil products for military uses. I know of no American combat action, with the possible exception of Guadalcanal, where shortage of petroleum products threatened to hamper our forces. There was period of acute crisis at Guadal- canal but the difficulty was not supply but transportation. When the Marines first landed there, the Japs were able to interrupt our unloading operations before all aviation gas had been put ashore. The result was that from mid-Au- gust until some time in September the Marine aviators on Guadalca- nal had to treasure their aviation gas as though it were liquid gold. As one of the officers. who was there remarked, We practically did not begin to warm up our en- zines until the Japs were right over the field
 This was the period during which. Commander John, Alderman won the undying gratitude of the Marine aviators by offering to run in to Guadalcanal on his small transport twice as much gas as any other skipper had volunteered to carry. Commander Alderman loaded gas drums on deck, in ward rooms, and in every open space aboard his vessel turning it into a potential torch. A near miss of 8 Jap bomb would have destroyed him, his crew and his vessel, but he took the gas into Guadalcanal without any incident.
 Finally, to break the shortage the Navy loaded a tremendous amount of gas on a single freighter and sent it off Word reached headquarters that the Japs had spotted the freighter and that she was skirting trouble. Then she disappeared from the knowledge of men for six days. You may be sure that these were six anxious days and as they licked off, hope fell lower and lower, but on the sixth day the skipper brought his vessel into Guadalcanal, and the gasoline drought was over. If you ever want to be convinced of the importance of petroleum products in this war, suggest that you talk to some of the Marine aviators who flew from Henderson Field during August and September of 1922.
