COMINGS AND GOINGS
Co-operation spells success.
It means loyalty to the common cause.
That’s the highest kind of co-operation.

Asst.
Associate Editor.
Cooperation is the spirit of working to-
gether for the good of the ship.
It means that everyone must turn to
with a will and if you have to sacri-
fice your pet projects (things that
will benefit you personally) in order
to not to interfere with the solution
of larger problems—greater activi-
ties—Go ahead and sacrifice ’em—
that’s all.
And remember that loyalty and co-
operation extend from the top down—
and from the bottom up.
It means willingness to subordinate
personal opinions and desires to the
necessities of the organization.
Question: What carries red and
lights? Answer: A drug store.
Officers and men of the Texas extend
hearty congratulations and best wishes.
Lt. Comdr. Tipton L. Wood, (ChC)

The Wahoo is a non partisan news-
paper and has thus far taken no de-
finite stand in the political campaign
now in progress. It is a mistake how-
ever for anyone to suppose that the
Navy is not interested in politics.
It may be true that the first line of
defence this country has, is no place for
politicians; but it is also equally true
that there’s certain people in this
country of ours who do not think so.
Not being a forum for the discussion
of this mooted question The Wahoo pro-
fesses itself as interested specifically in
those matters which will directly or in-
directly affect the Navy’s personal wel-
fare.
Does for instance Candidate Smith’s
announced belief in “determination by
states” extend also to include “Deter-
mination by Ships” ?
Is it possible that Candidate Hoover’s

experience in engineering would in any
way increase the efficiency (if indeed
this is possible) in the black gang.
Does it mean for intance that if he
is elected th's fall, the Navy will con-
tinue to run on distilled water?
These are fair questions which directly
concern us.
Concerning the other candidate, Will
Rogers, He has announced that what the
farmer needs is a punch in the jaw.
Now would it not be interesting to know
whether or not he has selected any par-
ticular part of thhe Navy’s anatomy for
special attention.
He and who else ?
Speaking of hats, a fellow bought
one once for $1000 and it cost him
$100.00 to wear it out. (This was a
civilian hat) He remarked to a friend
that he never owned but one thing that
was more expensive. Pressed for de-
tails he said it was an ungovernable
temper.
