MORTON ' S Supply Department has two mottos: Ready for Sea, and Service to the Ship. I ' m not too sure how valid the first motto is, but I have no doubt at all concerning the se- cond. Our expert barber is without a doubt one of the finest. His shears are so fast you don ' t have time to finish reading one of his interesti ng, up to date magazines. And then there is our friendly ship ' s store operator. When he ' s not busy pushing Milky Ways, he is out making sure his coke machines are in full operation. Down below are the men you seldom see . . .the laundrymen. They are constantly working to provide the crew with daily laundry service, making sure no but- tons are crushed and all underwear is returned white (not pink or blue). Next we have the storekeepers, affectionate- ly known as the biz boys. These energetic young men (and one old salt) make sure we have enough spare parts on board (just ask the weapons department). And, of course, they are always happy to get up in the middle of the night to provide you with that needed part (right men?). Our disbursing clerk and his ever faithful side kick are never without money (except when they ' re on the beach). As disbursing clerks, they are constantly making sure your pay is accurate (and they certainly appreciate it when you let them know they ' re wrong). Our culinary experts are known shipwide for their famous MORTON Mystery Meat. They take great pride in the manner the crew is con- stantly complimenting them on their fine cook- ing. And speaking of cooking, our leading steward and his staff of chefs make sure the of- ficers are fed like kings. When the stewardsmen are not in the pantry, they can probably be found studying for their advancement exams (right, men?).
