        Navy Families
         Families  of  Navy  men  and
        women who come from other parts
        of  the  country  for  short  visits
        sometimes  of  emergency  nature,
        often find it impossible to find ·hotel
        accomodations.  When  these  wives
        and  mothers  are  accompanied  by
        small  children  the problem  is  even
        more  serious.
   '---'   The  Naval  Aid  Auxiliary  Inn  is
        offering a life-line to service men by
        placing  at  the  disposal  of  their
        families  a  hotel  with  sleeping  ac-
        comodations  for  fifty-eight  adults
        as well as several baby cribs.  Other
        features  are  sunny  dormitori-3s,
        playrooms  and  toys for  small  chil-
   '---  dren,  comfortable  lounges,  a  large
        dining-room,  a  fenced-in  back yard
        providing additional play space and
        one  of the  best views of the Pacific
        ocean to be found anywhere in  San
        Francisco.
         The Inn  is located at 1798  Great                                         \  '  ....  "
