Take care of the furniture and fixtures in your room while you are here. They are in good condition and we want to keep them that way for the next returnee. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose by observing these things which are the marks of good soldiers. The future operation of this station depends on you. If you behave like gentlemen, the men who are to follow you here will benefit. If you do not, they will suffer.

The Chaplain's office on the ground floor of the Vanderbilt Hotel is always open for consultation. There are three Chaplains here--Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish. There are PX and long distance telephone facilities in each hotel.
