In the Navy things are different-we ride in ships! However, when it comes time for chow-down all hands walk, run, or travel on their stomachs back to the mess halll to get their ration of whatever treat the cooks have coniured for the bill-o-fare. Naval commissarymen are trained to cook food and prepare food so that it looks and tastes well and has high food value. All menus are dietetically put together containing three to five course meals with as little repetition as possible and still conform to a strict budget. Working in two 24-hour shifts, our cooks keep the 294 men in the crew well-fed from a spotlessly clean galley.

The pay-boys must earn their keep though, for they not only compute the crew's pay, but also figure their in- come taxes, make out the W-2 forms, and fill out tax claims for the crew members. The Money-Mad Men prepare all allotments for the crew including those for family allowances, savings, bonds, insurance, and pay- ment of loans incurred through the Red Cross or Navy Relief. They prepare the financial returns for the Dis- bursing Officer and maintain a check record of all checks drawn against the Disbursing Otficer's account with the government. Besides fondling the money, they handle all correspondence relative to pay, such as check- age of pay, arrears in pay, and insurance adiustments. Menial duties include the payment of travel claims, com- puting shipping-over pay, and making special pays for those who enter a state of financial embarrassment lflat-brokei between regular paydays. f ff Il ll Q Mr. H doles out dollars
