The Mode is hoppy to indorse "Good Will" week sponsored by the Washington Junior Board of Commerce "To win a smile—smile." TO THE SHIP OPERATORS

on the 's Third Anniversary

Today, Victory Fleet Day, has been set aside by the Government as a tribute to our country's ship operators. Quietly, unheralded, the shipping lines of the United States have carried on the task of moving supplies to our fighting men, and of transporting lend-lease goods to Richard Prince our allies. The ship operators of the United States at the outset placed their own fleets at the disposal of the Government, CRICKET CLOTH SUITS continuing to operate them under the direction of the War Shipping Administration.

This year bids fair to surpass the record of 47,000,000 tons handled in 1943, in the greatest transportation task ever assigned to man. To the operators of these ships and the entire merchant marine, the nation owes a debt of gratitude. As the builder of the first , the Patrick Henry, launched at 4800 Bethlehem-Fairfield Yard on September 27, 1941, we wish to add our tribute.
