For Miss Bell
By Betty MiIiken

One of the things service people
are most accustomed to is the con-
tinual change of station Of officers
of every rank and branch of the
service. During peace times the
changes are less rapid and more
normal; during war they become
more hectic. But at best the aver
age number Of years an Army or
Navy wife may expect to be settled
in new surroundings in these post
war times is just about three. And

where a tremendous number OF serv-
ice families are stationed, there's q
continuous round of saying hail" or
farewell"

the West Coast is that of Maj. Gen.
