This week I heard that Chief EATON is try
ing to find a home for his cat. GEORGE,
(that’s the cat), is having a rather hard
time these days. It seems that he used
to crawl under the Hammerhead Lodge to
the leaky drain that came from the fear.
Every night he would come home pretty
well under the weather, but a quite hap
py. cat, never the less, he would just
quietly curl up and go to sleep. Now
that the Hammerhead is no more, George is
in a very nervous and upset state of mind
and Chief EATON feels that perhaps some
Change of scenery might help. EATON also
^tated that in a few weeks, (afer normal
withdrawal pains are over) George should
be his old self again and will make a
Another bit of news I heard this -week is
t'at AGOT (I work anywhere) emerged as
top bowler by terrorizing Ralph MAY in a
three game match by the phenominal grand
difference of 169 pins’’ AGOT said the,
last tire he saw MAY, he was heading for
Clam Lagoon to deposit his home-made
bowling ball in the deep. AGOT further
suggested that MAY (the fifteen year vet)
throughly read Don Carter’s Book and
perhaps he can become as efficient as
AGOT (the 5 months hustler). As far as I
J - could hear, MAY had nothing to say.
I heard that we (NCS) don’t know where
w6re at. It seers that orders have been
left at the quarter deck to call a certain
number in the event they see a star so a
fix can be taken’? This sort of worries
me.. The above items may be true, rumor
or outright lies...but I heard ’em.

I've really got somethi y to yap about
this week. There I was, laying around,
taking it easy, when one of rny masters
offers me a dog yummy. V/e'T, if there's
one thing I like, it's dog yummies. So
naturally I went through all the usual
things, sitting up, speaking and roll
