A crash boat that makes 12-13 knots whisks a party out to the richly infested waters and returns with only a complaint of too much sunburn. More swimming is provided at two fine beaches, At the beaches and pools snack bars are estab- lished serving sandwiches and soda and ice cream. If a man desires a little quiet and a serious book the libraries in the area carry all the best sell- ers plus the recognized classics. The most popular for the past year and a half is “The Caine Mutiny” for which there is still a waiting list. The magazine rack is well stocked with newspapers, weekly and monthly magazines and most of the specialty publications such as Popular Science, Photography and Hobby Craft. The Naval Station Hobby Shop is one of the most popular night spots on the base. Wood working machines allow the construction of anything that will fit out the loor or can be disassembled for that purpose. A number of boats have had their keels laid in Build- ing 178 and one of the newest de- sign sailboats is under construc- tion there now. With an increased interest in sailing around the Key West waters, Commander Barr has ‘undertaken the building of a Catamaan Class boat that is break- ing and. setting records all over the sailing world, Photography has its corner at the Shop and claims three darkrooms with proper faci- lities.

Movie sequences never fall into apple-pie order until the entire production is finished. It’s a like a jigsaw puzzle which has to put together with disjointed Pieces.
