SEATTLE
SEATTLE-The scene is the l.ocal navy
recruiting .office. Behind the desk sits C.om.
mander H. C. McNulty, with the g.old braid
.of the best navy in the w.orld casti·n g .off
glistening light. Int.o the inner sanctum
walks M.orrie Dickins.on, .one .of C.oin R.ow's
t.op flight service men. F.or s.ome feeks
M.orrie has been c.onsci.ous .of a zephyr· like
breeze bl.owing gently .on the back .of his
neck. Up.on cl.oser examinati.on, he dis·
c.overed that his selective service b.oard was
trying t.o get chummy. S.o M.orrie reas.oned
like th is: Why be a mere private in the
Army when the Navy gives ratings t.o spec·
ialized experts? Instead.of Private Dick·
ins.on, he might be Sec.ond Class B.oat·
swain's Mate Dickins.on, Dr even Chief
Petty Officer DicHns.on.
M.orrie explained that he was a c.oin
machine electrician, that he wanted t.o j.oin
the navy, and was s.ort .of w.ondering what
kind .of rating a man .of his caliber w.ould
receive.
C.ommander McNulty smiled patiently.
H.ow many times in h.ow many different
va6ati.ons had he h eard that .one? He put
the f.oll.owing questi.on t.o M.orrie: "If y.ou
were stati.oned .on a battleship and a mag·
net.o became defective and needed repair,

2546 North 30th St.
Milwaukee, Wise.
w.ould y.ou apply the same technique that
y.ou w.ould .on a pinball game wi th 'tilt'
sh.owing .on the backb.oard?"
P.ostscript - Seaman M.orrie Dickins.on
will s.o.on be swabbing decks f.or the fleet.
CO INI NGS O N THE CUFF- After a
year's Deccaing, D.oyal Gudgel said au reo
v.oir f.or a nati.onal .offense j.ob (n.o m.ore
"defenlle," fellas; we're levelling b.oth bar·
rels n.ow) at the Army Supply Dep.ot's P.ort
.of Embarkati.on .. . . Jack R.oberts is keep·
ing Art Rupel's 30· piece r.oute alive while
Art helps keep dem.ocracy alive in the
army . . . . Signs .of these strange times:
Remember h.ow the b.oys used t.o stand t.oe
t.o t.oe and fight t.o a finish .over ch.oice l.oca·
ti.ons? Well, t.o c.onserve tires and gas.oline,
the lads are c.ons.olidating their r.outes by
trading sp.ots.
The m.ot.orcycle bug has bit. S.ome Db·
serving chap disc.overed that a tw.o·wheeler
with riding c.ompartment was capable .of
transp.orting a pin game, and s.o.on after
the rush was .on. Milt R.oumm, Jerry Stef·
fan and A. K. Ly.ons laid it .on the line f.or
cycles. Bu t their enthusiasm eDDIed rather
quickly. After a few rides in a drivi·n g
rainst.orm with.o ut windshield pr.otecti.on,
R.oumm decided it was far less expensive
t.o walk than t.o reserve a r.o.om in the pneu·
m.oni·a ward. Steffan's few .odd mustache
hairs were t.ossed int.o c.omplete disarray by
the whistling winds, thus ruining what lit·
tIe pers.onal appearance he still retained,
while Ly.ons re·.opened an .old rupture
when his machine fell .on him. After view·
ing the tragedies befalling his friends, C.on·
servative B.ob Walker purchased a bicycle.
N.o speeding, n.o gas, n.o tires, n.o danger t.o
life and limb, n.o n.o thing-but fun.
Th.ose tw.o ain't·it·w.onderful·t.o-be·in·I.ove
cuties-Virginia Mattern and J.oy Davis-
have fl.own the c.o.op at Decca f.or p.osts
with the Civil Service C.ommissi.on. Ge.orge
Schnabel had a $4,000 cruiser and n.o place
tv g.o, s.o he went sh.opping f.or s.ome fishing
t&ckle. lack R.oberts, executive direct.or .of
C.oin R.ow's Fishing Advis.ory C.ouncil, esti·
mated the c.ost at $50, and then acc.om·
panied Ge.orge .on his buying t.our t.o make
sure he w.ould get quality merchandise at
l.ow prices. Ge.orge was very grateful f.or
this service, until the bill arrived. When
he saw $150 in the t.otal c.olumn, he had t.o
he bailed .out .of his .own b.oat and revived.
Uncle Sam cast c.ovet.ous eyes .on the 31
and 35 f.o.ot cruisers .owned by Operat.ors
D.on Waltz .of Seattle and B.ob Farrell .of
M.ount Vern.on. Unselfishly the b.oys said:
"Anything y.ou want is y.ours, Uncle, if it'll
help end this war any quicker." Emb.old·
ened by this gener.ous .offer, the Axis' Neme·
sis n.ot .only acquired p.ossessi.on .of the
b.oats, but the services .of the tw.o .operat.ors
as well. N.ow it's First Class B.oatswain
