As in the case last year, this campaign will be conducted as a joint appeal. The proceeds to be prorated on a basis yet to be determined but aproximately 70% to Navy Relief and 30% to Red Cross. " These two agencies are the ones usually called upon by personnel of the Navy for alleviating their cares in times of distress. The w~ rk of the Navy Relief, our own organization, is so well known as to require no explanation. The Red Cross is national in character and its facilities are used throughout the year for services that cannot be rendered by the Navy Relief. " The Commander- in- Chief realizes the heavy financial burdens placed upon the personnel of the fleet by increases in rents and cost of food and clothing. However he does feel that work performed by these organizations is so deserving as to warrant the whole- hearted support of all, and urges each and everyone to give what he fells he is financially able to. As a guide for a minimum joint contribution he suggests: commissioned officers, $ 2.00; warrant officers and chief petty officers, $ 1.00; petty officers first class, $ 0.75; petty officers second and third class, $ 0.50; all others $ 0.25. " The American Red Cross is striving to increase its membership this ( Continued on Page Fou~) HOUSTON EMPLOYMENT SCHEDULE 2nd QUARTER 1936- 37 --::-- 28 September Train for and fire 4 October 3rd.

The Indianapolis has been ordered to remain on the East Coast, with no date set for her return. This means that Admiral Tarrant and his staff will undoubtedly remain in the HOUSTON until her return. The HOUSTON will NOT, as she was once ordered- go to San Fran- ( Co · : tbued on Page Two) BASEBALL NOTES --::-- This week playing practice games with the Medusa and Vestal on Tues. and Wednesday respectively. The coming season promises to be a very interesting one. The schedule is to be out sometime this week. There is to be a fall league to include the ships that are in now, and a spring league for the ships that return in the spring and late winter. There will be a playoff, for fun only, next spring. There is no reason that the HOUSTON can't at least provide some very strong competition for any and every team in the league. It is expected that with the right kind and amount of cooperation from all concerned, we can not only provide competition, but be one of the teams in the money at the payoff. Ship's Service has provided the team with good equipment and promises to continue, if results merit it. The first, second, and third teams to finish at the top of the fall league will credit their ships with 50, 30, and 20 Iron Man points respectively. It is known that there is a great deal more baseball talent aboard than has been turning out for the daily practices. Success depends primarily on an honest effort. Come on out!
