WE TIP OUR BASEBALL CAPS TO THE STOREKEEPERS 
Up to now the Bikini Scientific Resurvey has been one tough, 
high priority job after another to Staff Supply Officer LT Dan 
Carr and his two assistants, first class storekeepers L. S. 
Dymond and R. w. Satterlee. 
Prom the day they reported to the CHILTON in San Diego, 
these men have been working overtime ordering, checking, packing, 
loading, re-ordering, and issuing equipment. 
Typical of many of the jobs completed since leaving Pearl 
Harbor, LT Carr and his two storekeepers have issued 384 pairs • 
of khaki shorts, 396 khaki shirts, 1566 pairs of green trousers^

119 sun helmets, and 596 pairs of heavy work shoes.

NO CASTE HERE 
Here's a bit of news that should cheer the taxpayers. Not 
an inch of material trimmed off trousers and shirts by the 
CHILTON'S Tailor during the past week will be wasted. 
Every scrap has been saved and the rags will be supplied 
to the various laboratories aboard ship for use by scientists • 
and their assistants. LCDR Bob Reaser, X-Ray Division Officer, 
estimates that the material from the shirts and trousers will 
weigh at least 200 pounds.
