S-l DIVISION 22 Supply Corps means chow and cigarettes and pay to most of us. But it also stands for spare parts, for clothing, for the myriad things from fuel oil to rags that make the ship go, for paper work, chits, stubs, and long truck trips for supplies. . . . Hey, Draper, what ' s the stock number for scissors? Save me a foun- tain pen, Mason, will ya? Can I get in line for more ice cream? This orange drink stinks. . . . Boy, those bakers are good. JJ, something ' s wrong with my pay. And so it goes.

When heading for home the engineers become very popular and are besieged by many questions as to speed, — will the en- gines hold out, etc. The E Division is divided into four parts, the engine room, fire room, electricians, and auxiliaries, each depending upon the other. Rivalry runs high between different rates but they all stick together when an outsider steps in. An engineer ' s job is dirty, hot and very uncomfortable, but not one would trade with any other department. Our boast is name the place and we will get you there. DIVISION 21

Up the ladder — lemonade — coffee, sandwiches — and so it goes all day and most of the night for the boys in S-2. What with meals to cook, and dishes to do, and rooms and beds to make and clean, its no wonder that they keep saying they ' ll make good wives for some women. ■■S-2 M DIVISION t 23
