' The Supply Department, more commonly known as the S Division, by its foresight and efficiency, maintains the BURTON ' ' ' ' ' ' ISLAND and its crew by providing the necessary -supplies and services which enable both to fulfill their mis- sion. The slogan of the supply corps, READY FOR SEA, aptly fits this important division. A quick glance into the inner workings of the Supply Department indicates that most of the morale functions and problems ,of the ship are handled by it. In addition to- its primary function of supplying- the heads-of other depart-A ments of the ship with equipment and parts for repair, plus consumable items, the Supply Department provides excel- lent food, well prepared and served, handles the pay accounts, provides for all laundry and tailoring services, operates the ship's store and barber shop, provides steward service and last, but not least, provides all hands with the very neces- sary winter clothing ffoul weather gearl to protect them against th l ' ' ' H e e ements of wind, water and freezing cold. The BURTON ISLAND can well be roud of its ' ' ' p operations in regions above the Arctic Circle, ,as well as in the f0l1I weather of the Bering Sea. And the Supply Department can be d f ' ' . prou o its role in the carrying out of the important mission of this ship. I 9
