I Any Supply Department, if it tries to be a good one, keeps in mind the Supply Corps motto: 4'Service to the Fleet? For everything that sustains the life of the ship and the men on it must start with Supply. Many of the services that render the shipboard routine a little more comfortable - a little more livable - often come through this de- partment. Nuts, bolts, tubes, paper, pads, pencils, tape, line, chains, paint, screws, booms. They may cost a penny a dozen or a thousand dollars apiece: the storekeepers get the material for all the other vital departments of the ship. Laundry, haircuts, shoe polish, 'cgedunkf' or a crow to sew on? The shipservicemen handle those. Steaks, pies, salads, Thanksgiving turkey, or maybe a barbecue on the flight deck? The commissarymen. Officers' staterooms, meal service, and coffee? The stewardsmen. L PL i LCDR WILLIAM L. WINFREY, SC, USN SUPPLY OFFICER And how about the raise in pay, change of allotment, exchange of MPC and yen? The disbursing clerks. Almost every necessity and every uextran must go through Supply hands. The department's failures jeop- ardize the shipls capability and injure morale. But its smooth, efficient functioning keeps the ship going.
