V Ens. Arnold To this division belong the Ships Service men who keep up our ships store, geedunk , barber shop ( shorter buster ), laundry (button busters), tailor shop, cobbler shop, clothing and small stores. Theirs is the job to keep us well groomed, our clothes clean, our shoes repaired, et cetera. These services are also pro- vided to cans along side many times. Cokes, ice cream, candy, shaving gear, cameras, radios you name it and they ' ll try to sell it to you. Of course, they don ' t pocket all the money. After every one else has taken his share, the remainder is turned over to the Welfare and Recreation Officer who puts it to work for the crew. This is the money that provides such items as ships parties, magazines for the crew, and athletic gear. Smith, W. SHC Jackson, H. V. Caswell, J. F. fT) Stephens, E. R. D ' Agui, P. Stephen, A. ' W.

Ens D. Johnson The Dixie food is the finest. The commis- sarymen, messcooks, bakers, and all those who help to keep our bellies full have a great deal to be proud of. Early in the morning while most of us are still sawing off the log , they begin their days work. Salads for the salad bar are second to none, fine pastries by the bakers, and plenty of good food produced by those grill jockeys are some of the real assets of the Dixie galley. With the instal- lation of the HI-FI system, we now can enjoy good music while we enjoy this good food. These men not only provide food for our 700 plus sailors, but many times are called upon to feed the sailors of destroyers along side while they have their mess halls altered or repaired. This means that they must keep their huge kettles boiling longer, but they do this in stride. Arendt, J. Roche, R. L. Osterman, W. L. Stewart, C. W. f ' =» Harrington, A. J. Payne. R. P. Fowler, C.

Ens C. Anderson The disbursing office is the one place we never forget. These men handle the complex paper work involved with all money transactions. They make the necessary financial arrangements every payday for all the crew, allotments, travel pay as well as providing change for our U. S. currency every time we visit other countries... Yen, Hong Kong Dollars, Taiwan Dollars, and M. P. C This division may be small but what they handle is plentiful — and they do a good job of providing it. Casper, T. A. Martin, S. C. Heather, F. L SSI Mann, R. DKC The Stewards of S-5 are the hard workers whose task it is to prepare and serve the meals for the Admiral, Captain and Officers. They also maintain the ward room and officers country. They keep the coffee flow- ing for the many official visitors and guests aboard the Dixie. Their job is not noticed by most members of the crew, but their job, too, is impor- tant to the operation of the ship. Quitania, J. Garrido, V. L. Dudley, L. Holaso, A. Gonzales, J. Jackson, C.
