UNITED
STATES
Under the capable direction of our
new Commanding Officer, Major Hans W«
HEUZEL, Marine Barracks has started
several activities in addition to our
primary mission - that of Station Sec
urity. Hot the least of these is the
remarkable support given the basket
ball team by the Command.. Lieutenant
Edward E. DAUSTER, in his additional
duty as Special Services Officer, is
the push behind the movement.
In other fields of activity.Marine
Barracks is in charge of the Toys for
Tots drive again this year and urge
that you contribute. When leaving his
toy in the container provided at the
Eavy Exchange, this reporter found two
gum ^rappers and a ha],f~eat en candy
bar deposited there. Evidently, the
Christmas spirit has not yet reached
the hearts of some. Donate a toy (new
or old - Marines fix the broken ones).
You'd be surprised how good it makes

Barracks Sergeant Major William
P. DO NO VaN has received the go-ahead^
from our Commanding Officer to get^
started on the renovation of the Mar
ine Club - admittedly an eye-sore for
several months. Sergeant Major DONO«*
VAN, in true spirit of a Sergeant Major
has gathered working parties frcmevsry
corner of the Barracks and supervised
the job. Marines on the island have
felt the need for their own Club since
its closing last June(quite apparent
by the faithful attendance given the
Bayview) and the Sergeant Major prom
ises its completion in the near future,
With Sergeant Major DONOVAN leading
and the Marines giving their all(plus
some axopreciated help from Public Work),
we’ll have the finest eatin1,drinkin’
and battin* the breeze building on
the Island.
