Building of Warship
Continued irom First Page
great surge of delight ran through
me as the salt spray swept acress
my bow. I knew I had a fine crew,
and fine officers to guide me o'er
the restless sea.
We arrived in Charlestown on 19
June to have minor repairs and job
orders done before going to work.
Upon completion of this availabili
ty we set our course for New York
and thence to that navy town of
Norfolk, Va.
Here in Norfolk I was to be used
as a training ship for destroyer es
cort crews. I didn't know what to
make of it. Had I failed someplace
Frankly I was very dejected. Every
day a new crew came aboard
stumbling around, using me as a
general guinea pig. We did every
thing from towing to acting as a
ligt ouse.
Then one day I heard the captain
say that we were going on an es
cort job. Yes, at last we were on
our way to that part of the Atlan
tic where they played for keeps. A
thrill ran up my keel and I felt as
if I'd been shot with adrenelen. The
crew experienced the same tension
as I turned my bow toward Africa
to a little town on the nortern coast,
called Bizerte.
We were taking a large convoy
over "the pond." Everything went
well with us but not so good was
the luck of the advance or rear
convoys as they were struck with
the enemy's wrath, bombed and
strafed. Yes, the USS Daniel A.
Joy had now commenced one of the
most amazing careers of a DE.
Bizerte afforded much needed re
laxation and enjoyment for the
crew. They toured Tunis and all
the neighboring Arab villages,
bringing aboard everything from
rocks to rugs as souvenirs.
After this pleasant stay in Af
rica we returned to Boston on the
19th of Sept. 1944, where I was to
get all slicked up for another trip,
but little did I guess that we were
headed for the Great Pacific.

Howdy, Folks! A customer gave
us a shock the other day. She ask
ed us why we never advertise.
Imagine our surprise, as our ads
have run more or less regularly.
When we told! her we did ad
vertise and showed her an ad to
prove it, she said, "Yes, but they
look so much like all the rest; why
don't you doll them up a bit so
they'll be easier to catch?"
That set. us to thinking. Maybe
she was right. We thought of a lot
of ways to make te ads sensational,
but decided that columnists get
more readers than most writers, so
we decided to try our hand as a
columnist.
Now we don't expect to be a
Bugs Baer or a Winchell, but
we'll try to give you a few smiles
now and then, and, yes, you're
right, we'll talk a little about the
business.
So wait for our literary
efforts in the columns
of the Gazette Times.
