At the same ceremony, the Captain delivered an appointment to ‘Yarrant
Boatswain to our efficient Chief Boatswain Mate, Gerald J.R.e BROCE, USN, of Bay
City, Michigan. The Captain pointed out in his remarks that BROH's promotion
to ‘Tarrant Officer came as the result of his excellent record and was a fitting
example of what was possible for an enlisted man to attain in the Navy. JIn-
cidentally, the Captain enlisted as a Seaman in World “ar I. —

The TELFATR now has its complete Marine Detachment with the arrival
of Corporal Leonard PUCKETT, USMCR whom we were glad to weicome on board for
duty, First Lieutenant Richard STONE, USMCR, of Oceanside, California, our
efficient Transport Quartermaster, commands his two-man Marine outfit.

while we don't have any Chamber of Commerce, luncheon clubs and
citizen's committees heading up various drives, yet the Navy Counterpart is
very much in evidence on board the TELFAIR. ‘We had a "MARCH OF DIMES" com—
mittee who when the funds were counted found they had made it a "MULTIPLE MARC
OF DIMES". :

Next we participated, as did all Naval Ships and Stations, in the
drive for NAVY RELIEF, sending in our combined gift to that worthy organization,
recognized by navy.people as an, "ever ready help in time of need",.
we have just completed our report on the 7th War Bond Drive for cash
sales which are of course over and above the bonds which are being bought
through the method of pay allotment, our sales indicate the TELFAIR gang is
planning for that "rainy—day",
well, folks, that just about brings us up to date, Oh yes, one
thing more, after an 'tall hands evolution" the ship really sparkles with a.
new coat of paint from stem to stern, including tne rigging and looks better
than when it did when it was new. |

AS ever,

Mac.
