The paper was served by the Camp Newspaper Service, which was started by Jack Gordon based on an idea started in the Army.
From the Editorially Speaking column:
"Never forget that everything you do, say, or write, as a Navy man will reflect, as a credit or discredit, on the honored service of which you have become a part."
Take out the words "as a Navy man" from that sentence and you have one of Jack Gordon's rules for living that he followed for the rest of his life. (He was 22 1/2 years old when these words were penned.)
