SATuORS take notice! This is
by way of explanation concerning
about fifteen bus loads of beauti-
ful civilians who were seen on the
Island, Sunday, August 6, and also
to prove that we do have our
generous moments.
The girls w e re prospective
WAVES who were enjoying a day
on Treasure Island, sponsored by
the WAVES recruiting office of
the Twelfth Naval District. The
program of the day start€d with
a general meeting at 1200
Theatre No. 1. The girls were
then guests at Sunday dinner _in
the Officers' Mess followed by a
special Chapel service at 1430.
One interested bluejacket who
sang for the Chapel service said
that he had never seen so much
color in that building since its
dedication. It might almost have
been a study in hats, so varied
wern the colors, sizes and shapes.
Under the circumstances we will
not go further into the subject of
today's fashions.
The last feature of a very busy
day was the program held
Theatre No. 2 at 1600. Highlight
of the affair was an address given
by Mrs. Chester Nimitz on the
value of the service being render
ed by WAVES today. Captain
R. W. Cary welcomed the girls and
music was provided by the Chapel
mixed quartet and the Treasure
