PROTECTION -- Means of protection is one thing which Lucie Briegel, yeoman, third class, surely does not lack in her work in the district ordnance office at the U.S. naval training center. She is shown here examining one of the weapons donated by civilians for use of naval personnel during the war. Her job is to issue these guns to persons who have need and permission to carry them. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Briegel, 417 East Tenth street, Davenport, Yeoman Breigel entered the WAVES in September, 1943. She was trained at hunter college, New York City, and at yeoman's school, Cedar Falls, Iowa.
