Thousands of nosis was, cat fever (which made us brothers, fathers, sons, and neighbors are absent in foreign wonder? ? ? ). All Advance Base per- For Whom the Bells Toll lands, waging a hard and valiant fight for their country and home. Denied to them is the flowering beauty of their native Utah in this season of bursting bloom and greenness. Among these valiant Utahns are some who will never again gaze on their native countryside and beloved homes. No tribute is too high to the brave living and the honored dead. Thoughscattered in distant lands, at no time have they been absent from duty. Death itself could not drive them from it. Inconvenience, hardship, and even the final supreme sacrifice have not deterred them~from constant attention to their duty, It is not enough to honor our fighting men on Memorial Day only. The most valuable tribute possible is to follow their living example, day in and day out attending to job and duty back home in feeding them the supplies they so desperately need. Andthe secret of their getting the supplies is timing— a timing and synchronization as delicate as the finest Swiss watch. Absence from job, by upsetting the timing, can waste thousands of lives, cripple vital military operations, and indefensively postpone the successful conclusion of hostilities. Summer is here. Gardens need tending. Fishing issues a siren call. The winter has been long and tedious. The call of the outdoors may be uponyou. Before taking the day off, remember the men fighting for you. Remember that they love these things as muchasyou , that they need relaxation even more than you. Then decide whether you can live peacefully with your con* science and absent yourself from the job you are doing in their support. Every day that you report for duty you are paying them a durable and meaningful tribute that will contribute to an easing of the sorrows of Memorial Days to come.

Anyhow, we are glad to have him back with us, and will see to it that he doesn’t associate with any more cats. Everyone in Advance Base was sorry to hear that it was necessary for Lt. (jg) Larry Shaffer to enter the Naval Hospital at Oak Knoll, California, for treatment to correct a leg muscle ail- ment. Maybe he took his basketball coaching too seriously. We certainly miss his bright, cheery smile and friendly greeting here, and surely hope he returns to Advance Base soon, as he is one of our favorite lieutenants. t—dt “E-8 Swing” THIS WEEK’S PIN-UP . . . brings to mind the old stock stories about the sailor who can’t swim, since she, too, agrees that swimming is best as a spectator sport . . . but we'll have to admit that she cuts a fine figure in a bathing suit.
