Odds and Ends: News has seeped through to the writer that a certain CS1, who
' claims to be able to help a poor motorist out of any difficulty with his power
ful little 4-wheel drive jeep, fully equipped with emergency lights, snow plow,
power take-off, skid chains for all wheels and even a sun visor, was found "on
the other side of the fence" recently.
One Fridau evening this gallant Navy career man ventured forth to the COMMSTA
from the housing area to stand a mid-watch on the Quarterdeck. On this partic
ular occasion he chose his second car, a 1956 Chevrolet, as a-mode of transpor
tation, instead of his incomparable jeep. Well, you might know, it snowed "light
ly" during the night while this young man was standing a very taut watch. The
next morning after being relieved from his duties, he took one casual lock at
the weather conditions (which didn't disturb him in the least) and set out for
home in his Chevie. Ahem, it seems his friends (?) in the housing area, very
shortly thereafter, received various distress signals via telephone from this
proud sailor. He was pleading for someone to fetch his jeep and please hurry to _
the top of Boot Hill; the conventional car had gotten too familiar with a snow ^
bank and. politely slid into a ditch.' Well, his favorite vehicle finally arrived
on the scene, but too late. Parties unknown had already rescued him.
As we keep telling you, NEEDY, "It can happen to anyone." We still have the ut
most of faith in you though and do appreciate your untiring assistance when our
ill-equipped cars fo astray. Winter is still here, isn't it?
