On a Sunday evening on the farm, a young farmer might be heard telling his B little son the old and beloved and un- grammatical story of this is the maiden all torlorn that milked the cow with the crumpled horn-that kicked the dog, that chased the cat, that ate the mouse, that lived in the house that Jack built. On the Bing Ding, it a man were to tell his son a story of the B Division, he would probably tell it like this, This ship is a carrier, the steam section its heart, and these are the skilled men at the Boiler Division that tend the boilers, that make the steam, that turn the turbines, that turn the shafts, that turn the screws, that propel the ship, and the Bing Ding is under way. l 2 l lf I I ,. l ,. i.

Sunday on the farm is just like any other day to these workers, and, on the Bing Ding, Sunday is often like any other day to the men of the A Division At any hour of the day, this division is evidenced by the hum of the ventilation system. This active division is divided into four groups. The ' conditioning and refrigeration gang keeps the ship's huge refrigerators and air cond: ' - 'ng units functioning properly. If spare parts, not available from the storeroom, are nee , mcchme Shop 9009 is called upon to produce them.

Only the rooster and his morning call are un- touched by this modern age. His is the duty in the cold grey dawn, and after his call, the farmer and his helpers are up and at it. Aboard the Bing Ding, too, there is a large amount ot electrical gear that must be main- tained. This is where the E Division comes in. From revielle in the A.M.-followed by a good cup of Joe to really wake them up- until the close of the day, the skilled elec- tricians and l.C. men of the E Division at sea and in port keep the electrical nerve system of the ship in tip-top shape.
