Maybe he has financial troubles. Or, most likely, he's an l. C. Electrician from E division thinking about those two hundred plus sound-powered telephone circuits he and his division is called upon to keep tit and ready for use any time the ship has need ot them. Ventilation, lighting, the showing ot movies, and keeping the public announcing system in tune are all Echo Division respons- ibilities. Thirteen hundred electric tans and nearly two thousand electric motors are also nursed along by the Electricians ot E Division. The pit log, which measures the ship's speed through the water, is theirs too. Men have long since ceased to marvel that at the pressing ot a button a light will shine. But marvel they might it they had a clearer understanding ot the processes involved in inducing electricity from steam, nudging an electron along thousands ot feet ot wire, and producing that instantaneous light. lt you don't think that sailor has good reason to look wisttul, iust ask Chiet Cameron, or Feldhake EMT, about his iob.

UPPLY To get there the tirstest with the mostest is an old naval axiom. To keep the mostest there the longest is the Supply man's dilemma. Specifically: keeping over a thousand men in food, equipment, dress and pay checks is the iob ot the Supply Department in Bremerton. The services provided by the Department are many-the storerpoms, the bakery shop, the ship's store, the tailor shop, and the laundry, to cite a tew ot the more obvious. Many hours ot patient labor have been spent by the ofticers and men ot Supply to render shipboard lite more pleasant. Their reward is the respect and admiration ot an appreciative crew. LCDR J. Grimes, the Supply Othcer, has as his assistants: ENS R. Grant, who pays us in greenbacks or M. P. C., converts it to Yen, Pesos, Pounds, or whatever other kind ot money we need, CHPCLK F. V. Filipowicz, who keeps us in uniforms and ever-necessary spare parts, and CHPCLK W. H. Hogarth, who answers the demands ot a lot ot sailors who, for some reason or other, never torget to eat. l36
