PAGE SIX glial .. i Plattsmouth Sailor Finds Sea Life Fine Oliver Taylor With Pacific Fleet En joys Service Very Much on the Great War Boats. Oliver Taylor, who has been here enjoying a Turlough from his duties in the navy, has found that there is much opportunity for advancement and success in the navy if one applies himself to the task and the young man has proven this in many ways. He has served three years and three months in the service, the first months of this being at the naval base at San Pedro and later assigned to the New Mexico, one of the battle ships and he is at the present time on the "California," the flagship of the fleet. The day on the war vessels starts early, reveille being sounded at 5:30 in the morning and followed by routine clean up until the breakfast hour which is at 7:30 and from then on through the day the sailors carry on their lines of duty. Dinner is served at 12 and the evening meal at 5 o'clock with taps at 10. Oliver is a third class petty offi cer, sigual division and his work is that of communication with the oth er vessels of the fleet by the sema phore system with flags or the inter national Morse code by light signals. Diversion on the war ships consists of movies every evening, smokers and boxing and wrestling matches, all of these being very popular. During his service Oliver has had the opportunity of taking two trips to the Hawaiian islands and on one of which he had the opporunity of a fine visit over the islands. He also was on trips that the fleet made to the Panama canal and skirting the west coast of South America where the crossing of the equator was cele brated by the arrival of King Nep tune on board and the proper initia tion of all sailors. The young sailor is returning Monday to duty and in a few days will be back on the "California" and ready for any task that may come.
