Saturday, 20 May, is the annual
Armed Forces Day. We will be par
ticipating, with several exhibits
and demonstrations and some real
fine close order drill display.
So be looking for a good show from
Marine Barracks on Armed Forces
Day.
About 15 Marines are happy to
see the week roll by, for they have
left the Island—transferred'on to
happier hunting grounds. tenong them

The Medical Department has been
sending out the SOS and Marine Bar
racks has been answering by being
nJohnny-on-the-spot” when blood is
called for. This is cooperation
that we are glad to give because of
the obvious help it does. This past
week, Lance Corporal Brian Keith
donated.
The Navy Relief drive is getting
underway. The personnel of Marine
Barracks has scored 100$ particip
ation in two previous drives and we
hope to do the same this time. The
worthiness of Navy Relief is well
known. Nearly all service person
nel receive assistance from them
one time or another . during their
career. It is hoped that we shall
live up to the challenge of giving
this drive the support that it hon
estly deserves.
