With all the Work the guys in Firts do, they still find time to crawl into the rack, when no one's looking. The deck seamen get the award for finding the most unique places to rack out. All in all, theylre a pretty spirited bunch and deserve a lot of credit for many jobs well done. After all, it isn't easy to keep up a whole ship with only fifteen or so people. Buzz off , . .

ax X f f f Everyone likes a good roll X .ff SUPPLY DEPART A Jtorving Newman getf his ration at a fookouz The most apparent thing about the Supply Department is that it feeds us. That alone is a tough job, because someone always grumbles. Supply has the thankless task of attending to our petty wants. They wash our clothes with equipment that came out just after washboards. The Disbursing Clerk pays us. Ship's Servicemen see that the Coke machine gives us a nickel's worth of water for a dime changej, run the store, and shear our locks. Storekeepers get us the parts we need, when they can be found. If all goes OK, no one bothers to compliment, but just one little red splotch on the whites gets notice fast enoughi Overall, our pork- chopsl' do their best to make FINCH a home and a feeder. Supply Officer: LTJG Nunley.
