MUSKIE SAYS:
The few 2nd & 1st Class Petty Officers
who think it is a big joke to
defy the Seamen who stand the Shore
Patrol Watch in the Bering Theatre wonft
think it so funny if they’re drafted to
stand the watches instead of the seamen.
And the seamen and non-rated personnel
who show a complete lack of manners and
consideration might possibly find that
their privilege of going to the movies
is not one that can easily be forgotten.
Muskie has heard, along with reports of
misconduct on the part of Bering Theatre
patrons, discussion on steps that could,
be taken to curb such misconduct.Methirks

steps being discussed' would not have to
be taken. It’s up to you and it takes
no effort at all to be a gentleman.
Did you know that Memorial Day was
first celebrated in 1868, when it was
called Decoration Day, for the purpose
of decorating the graves of Civil War
soldiers. It became a legal holiday by
an act of Congress in 1869 and was then
officially named Memorial Day.

press and I meet my deadline I have no
confirmation on this.
Reports of fishing being the great
est ever continue to be the subject of
conservation - rather conversation but
all creel checks made by this reporter
donrt show any spectacular catches. It
is refreshing to note tho that when the
tide comes in Big Dolly’s can be seen
under the bridges.
Keep fishin’ MUSKIE*
