The group began arrli)- ing at 8.o’clock with well-laden baskets of foodstuffs. The evening was spent playing games and other merrymaking ac- tivities.

Miss Laird was the recipient of SWEETING NAMED RECREATION HEAD Arthur L, of Monroe Murray, Chairman Sounty Defense Coun- cil, is in receipt of a letter from headquarters of State Defense Council of Florida at Tallahassee, informing him of the appointment of J, Glenwood Sweeting as:chair- ! man of the Defense Recreation Committee of the Monroe County Defense Council. Mr. Sweeting displaces Paul G. Albury who has been acting in that capacity for some time. At a meeting held by the local] group several months ago, Mr, Sweeting was selected to replace Mr. Albury, but for some reason or other the appointment had been held up at State Headquarters which resulted in some confusion, it is shown. However, with the above announcement, it is stated, the matter automatically straight- ens itself out and the committee under he leadership of Mr. Sweet- ing may begin to functioh at once.

You might even think about a kangaroo in Australia and} if he’s still hopping wherever he! pleases . . a done me a lot of good in tough spots... One night last year Jap de- stroyers picked us up and the skipper took her down. And then we heard the thrum-thrum-thrum of the destroyer’s screws as she passed right over us ...

But thank God, the Jap didn’t take his invitation. Then I remember I'd been think- ing about Australia, and the night in the bar when a few of us decid- ‘ih’ atbubmarine ed that Australia was the place | where they had kangaroos. We'd never seen one, so after a little more pleasantry we decided to do something about seeing a kanga- roo. Chief Machinist's Mate F.

That old kangaroo has} 1943, as reported by the U. = ming. ... {but one. He looked like a sort of a Model T kangaroo, so we closed in. That was when the old hopper really came to life and it took all three of us a good while to per- )suade him we meant no harm. That marine friend of Draper's said when you catch your first kangaroo you might as well take him with you. So'we did: We boosted him over the fence with us—never did see that zoo-keep- er—and he hopped along with us. But you get tired of kangaroos and they get tired of you. So he hopped on away down the street. Might be hopping yet... And that minute was past and no more depth charges... When the captain figured the destroyers had: gone somewhere else to blow up the water, he or- dered our ‘ship to “‘sufface. We didn’t have any, trouble getting to the’ top. The fresh air poured in ‘ahd cooled us off some. Then the poker game went into session. Poker, you know, is one of the submarine man’s main sources of [recreation at sea. The other re- creations are other kinds of pok- er. There’s stud poker and draw {poker. But never any wild card games. Submarine men are too {conservative for wild games. | I don’t believe I can remember a night when a game didn’t start in the messhall after supper for the ones off watch. There’d be six players, no more, no less, and about 10 waiters. Poker on a submarine is always played on the surface at night. That’s when you come up to re- charge and get a breath of air and move some place in a hurry. You can’t play submerged because it’s too hot and moist to deal. Maybe gambling with cards, ac- cording to some folks, is the kind | in.| of gamble we shouldn't be taking } on a submarine. But it helps a lot. Particularly toward the end of a | war patrol when you find your- self getting a little irritable and | nobody wants to talk. Then you can play poker and think of a nice |tall cool one when you make a j liberty. |wwwwwvvvVvr Tv Vee ‘PHONE 9150 WITH PAPER COMPLAINTS, Citizen “subscribers who heretofore called The Citizen office on failure to receive their papers are requested heretofore to call the Island City Book Store.
