S-5 Division is composed of Stewards who perform much the same job as S-2 Division except for the fact that their clientele is composed of officers and warrant officers who have separate messes on board. The food is purchased from the General or Crew ' s Mess and prepared in the Wardroom Galley. The Stewards who do not prepare the food are re- sponsible for the serving of it. In addition, the staterooms are their spaces to maintain as they do the Wardroom. It seems that the bigger the holiday, the harder they work. D. Morallo, SDC Boston, Mass. D.

The most arduous duties of the DK are over- looked by many of us: the paper work entailed in computing the pay, making up checks, the money lists, the allowances, allotments and taxes. Things are complicated each time a man makes a new rate: his pay record must be completely renewed. Regardless of changes of status, each man ' s pay record is recut semi-annually. Additional work is entailed by travel claims, shore patrol advances, advance pay, dislocation allowances and changes of station. Cutting W-2 forms annually brings forth another col- lateral duty of the division: that of being certified public accountants who have to counsel us on our positions. Not at all a final note but just another hazard of the being a DK is the buying of foreign money for the benefit of the crew. I must say that a DK truly knows the value of money. C.
