"O nly the s hots that h it are the s hots t hat coun t. Presi,lent Thao. Roosevelt. at Naval Acad11m11. 1902.
Yester day the first hurdle of the S. R. B. P. barrier was taken in stride. The A.A. gun crews dealt out sudden death and destruct:on to the targets (and the raft) while the main and broadside batteries held their first full dress reheusal with a critical audience. Lo ca l dopesters refuse to divulge state secrets but it is authori tatively rumored that many new sleeves will be graced with the most beautiful of vowels and an equal number of pay accounts will be agree ab ly bulged for the coming year. The Battle of Catalina Island will be re s umed on Tuesday morning to the accompaniment of both the bark of the five-incb and the roar of the fourteens while an interested audience will try to figure out whether the big hole was due to a ricochet, three shots in the same hole, or a turret shell being inadvertently fired from a broadside gun.
With weeks of steady drilling be hind us we now come to the time when the worth of this drill is prov ed. '!'.he theoretical E's that have been won day after day are soon (we hope) to be forgotten when the "real Mc Coy" is stitched on the dress blues. L et's show the check-sight observers that they were not so optimistic, after all. · Wednesday was a gala day for the turrets; all turrets and the officers string were clocked in E time with the required amount of damage done to the targets. The broadside and A. A. batteries have also been turning in fi ne scores so all that is required now is to practice what has been preached to us and drilled into us for the past few months. Although S.R.B.P. is the most ele mentary practice of the year it holds mor e interest than any other firing because of the competitive spirit that is developed in drills, because n ot a few of us are receiving our first taste • of p owder smoke in this practice, and because (strange as it see ms) we like to watch the shells go through the (Continued on Page Two)

The Navy Relief Soc iety is making theit· annual appeal .for aid to relieve the su ffering of NA VY R ELI EF needy and worthy
of those who have died in the naval senice and of those still on active duty. ' 'ln the Navy we have our own private 'Community Chest' - We try to look out for our own who are in distress or are un fortunately situated by reason of one thing or another. This comi ng winter promises to be a hard one on hun dreds of tho u sand of people throughout the country; each state and each lesse r community faces the problem of re lieving unavoidable distress. Through the medium of the Navy Relief So ciety, we of the Navy, have the pri vilege of 'doing our bit' towards look ing out for and assisting t he 'Navy Community.' The time has come to show our good intenti on s; let us have a generous and a 100 percent re sponse to this strictly Navy Relief Fund - BY NAVY PEOPLE FOR NAVY PEOPLE." The genuine interest of the o ffi cers and en listed }1ersonnel in the Navy R elief Society last year, produced a very large membership that was a source of distinct pride to the ser vice and of exceptional inspirational value. Th e Navy Relief is your instrument for putting into effect your impulse to serve the common good. Moreover the Navy Relief needs and should have our generous sup p ort. We should be a participant in its noble work. This is your NAVY RE LIEF FUND. Give your confidence and support through membership. Join now! Every man can afford to make a contribution, be it large or small. Whatever help you can give this year, will be most thorough ly valued.
The American Red Cross Society as well as the Navy Relief Society is truly worthy of RED CROSS (^) the su ppo1·t of the SOCIETY (^) men of the U. S. Navy. Every man should be proud to support any OI'· ganization which renders relief to his d~pen_den_ts ~nd who stand ready to aid him m time of need. The man in t~e Navy is called on but very few t~es each :!'.ear. for donations to any relief organizations - in proportion, they are called on much less than civilians, and they really receive more services for their donations than any civilian. Contributions are to be entirely voluntary and funds may be given either to the Navy Relief or to the Red Cross or may be divided between the two orga nization s. Unless there is a major catastrophe, this will be the only time we will be called upon to· contribute to any relief organizations this year. This is the one opportunity w hich every man gets each year to show his appreciation for the many cases of assistance rendered to Naval per sonnel by these two organizations. The Navy Relief and the Red Cross cooperate to the fullest extent, for your benefit and mine. Let us show our appreciation by contributing somethmg to these very worthy or ganizations. It is very embarrassing to request relief, running into hundreds of dol lars, when that particular sh ip rea lizes that it had contributed little or nothing to the organization. The Navy Relief has yet to refuse a rea sonable request regardless of this situati on. If every man conscientious ly makes his contribution which he considers within his means, the Ari zona can be kept off of this list. It can be done. So, let's go!

In these days of publicity, the P.ub lic is frequently led to believe 'one swallow makes a summer." Too often some thoughtless, beardless boy, whose total service in the Navy runs into months, is publicized as a "typi cal sailor" while the pitiful things he foolishly endeavored "to get away ,'{ith" ~re heralded to the world. The resul~:. Every man-o-wars-man who wears Uncte Sam's Blue is classed by the· undiscriminating public with that boy whose civilian background and training were such that he used his first opportunity under the guise of a' l.miforni "to do his stuff." In striking' contrast is another sort of man in Uncle Sam's uniform; the man-,o-Wflrs-map, ot· the lad who /s in tlie maldng, of whom the pub11c hears too little, largely because such men are not P._Ublicity. seekers. Here are · a few instjmces of just what we, m~n: ' A civilian,- tired · of life, jumped' overboard from a res.ort pier. A olue jacket goes after him, holds him up until help a,rrives, and then disap pears in the crowd .to avoid publicity. A half t Qn of coal, ·paid for, goes into a· destitute ' home whose address was ascertained from a shivering young stiir ·, o;fi'. about six trying to sell a few papei:s.

These instances are cited 1o, point o~ut that 'the average man who"dons the. Navy Blue is far from matly a civillan's idea of "the sailor ."

says: "Therefore whilst we have time, let us work good to all men, but es pecially to those who are of the house-hold of the faith." Th.e advice which St. Paul gives in his letter which we read today, is very important and contains. advice which I am afraid a great many of · us_ overlook, a nd by so doing we are n eglectful of our duty, both as re gards doing good and in the way of doing it. Whilst we have time, let us do good to all men. There is the command of true Ch~istian charity which we should, be practicing every day of our
