By Betty Miiiken

The Chief of Naval Operations and

reception for Admiral Sir

the British Joint Services Mission,
then learned that his successor, Adj

will serve two purposes-to welcome
the newcomer. and to say goodbye
to his predecessor who incidentally
will sail the next day aboard the
Queen Elizabeth-the same ship on
which Admiral Dalrymple- Hamilton.
Lady Dalrymple- Hamilton and their
daughter, Christian, will arrive in

house in Georgetown, but not until
the redecorating job has been COM

September. Admiral Dalrymple-
Hamilton has just given up the ap-
pointment of Flag Ofiicer Command
ing the Coast of Scotland and North
ern Islands.
