CW02 H. L. OWENS Ships Store Off. S-2 DIVISION Laundry, dry cleaning, shoe repair, tailoring, small stores and ship ' s store make up the phases of the work handled by the Ship ' s Servicemen. These are services which many of us tend to over- look or take for granted, but certainly could not do without. During the summer months, when tne uniform of the day is whites, the laundry ' s work schedule is more than doubled. To top it off the Cans along- side were using our facilities. A clean uniform per man, per day, is quite a job. Foreign goods was in demand during our cruise. The ship ' s store both carried many of the items and invited many of the local quality mer- chants aboard to display their wares. Much of the credit for our high rating in the E competition, belongs to the S-2 Division. Bock Row: Griffin, Lorson, Linton, Morris, Hunt, Redd Third Row: Dios, Monteleone, Harris, Dominque, Keyek, Boker Second Row: Aguon, Wheelhouse, Fuller, Blackburn, Smith First Row: Hurst, Moore, Lodwick, Roeding.

S-4 DIVISION SOUP TO NUTS Storage and preparation of the ship ' s chow are the responsibilities of the Commissarymen. These men are the butchers, the bakers, the potato stick makers, and cooks. With a crew of better than 600 to feed, S-4 must maintain a round-the-clock work day to meet the pressing schedule. Their cookery , though ham- pered by the large number of portions, shone through in a number of instances while in the Med. The spaghetti, for example, far surpassed any served on the beach in Italy. The pies and cakes are not like Mom makes, but who doesn ' t welcome seconds. Certainly not everyone ' s taste buds can be satisfied everyday, but they do provide a diversified menu. ENS. R. L. FAIRALL S.C. Commissary Off. First Row: Rickmon, Dewees, Barth, Knox, Dohlgreen Second Row: Greeran, Clough, Osborne, Wholen, Hillmon, Horpster Back Row: Ziebro, Ledwell, Koziara, Loughlin, Spry.
