S. naval bases in ever increasing quantities. The first outgoing shipment from the depot a little more than a year ago was a single safe. Today the depot is called upon to handle in excess of 3,000 train carloads a month, according to supply officer in command Capt. Cyrus B. Kitchen (SC), USN.

From a handful of civilian workers work-ers and naval and marine personnel person-nel a year ago, more than 4,000 workers help package and ship each day several thousand boxes of naval supplies. Approximately 100 WAVES arrived for duty at the depot during the past month. Rather than "too little and too late," the slogan ''enough and on time," motivates the speeded-up operations at this huge depot. The physical plant is soon to be enlarged en-larged by $7,000,000 of new construction. con-struction. There is a continuing need for more employees at the depot. |
