Each is important to the crew in a different way. S-1 Division, under the supervision of CWD Roland Eorgrave, includes the cooks, bakers, and storekeepers. Food is their busi- ness, they order it, load it, store it, cook it, and serve it. The tantilizing aromas that rise from the bake shop are one of their advertisements, and those earnest pleas for pastries from passers- by are their greatest compliment. Each week a new menue is planned with meticulous care to insure that it is healthful as Well as appetizing. S-1 handles staples of both- kinds however. In addition to its job in the galley, it also runs GSK. Nuts and donuts, bear claws SUPPLY GFFICER A native of Central Falls, Rhode Island and a relatively new member of the crew is LCDR George Buben, who reported from NSD Newport for duty as supply officer. Mr. Buben hasn't always been an officer. He joined the Navy as a SR in 1940. In 1945 he went to Midshipman School at Notre Dame and commissioned a line Ensign. In 1949, as a Lieutenant jg, Mr. Buben transferred into the Supply Corp. He has served on the USS GILBERT IS- LANDS CVE 107, the USS SHELLIKOF AVP 52, and at various. LCDR Buben is married and is the proud father of two boys, aged six and nine. Presently his family is residing in San Diego, California. LCDR George Bu ben and pelican hooks .... every spare part and special order passes through this division. On this Westpac cruise, the men on the RENVILLE have consumed enough coca cola IO float the ship in, enough spa- getti to reach around the world if each piece were laid end te end .... all courtesy of S-1. Ensign William Day heads the S-5 Division which includes the ship's servicemen, disburs- ing clerks and stewards mates. The shipis servicemen ren- der all the personal services to the crew .... in the ships store, barber shop, soda foun- tain, and laundry. The words Pay Day for the crew are ones the whole crew waits for. The disbursingl clerks are responsible for pil? ing the crew, and exchangilig money as the ship passes from port to port. Last, but certainly not least. among the supply personnfl are the stewards. Their haffl work often goes unlauded. but they work hard and well keep' ing Ofiicerls country clear. preparing and serving food iii the VVardroom, and two ligtvf the distinction of working W' the Captain.

X D1 VISION The Yeomen, the Personnelmen, the Postal Clerks and the Masters-at-Arms comprise little front offices of the floating Renville Hilton. Our Yeomen and Personnelmen process the tons of paper- Work that come and go. Countless hours are spent maintain- ing the processing the service records, officer records, correspondence, special request chits, personnel diaries re-enlistments, extensions, school requests-and on and on- and up to the standards set by Washington. The morale has been kept cruisin' by our Postal Clerks. The arrival of those bright orange mailbags on the shoulders of Hall and Ludi means only one thing-mail from home. Our stops at the post office Window for stamps, money orders, parcel post and registry service never cease. The MAA,s, our sheriff and his deputies , are assistants to the Executive Officer in enforcing internal discipline. The MAA shack functions 24 hours each every day. One of the primary duties of this small and efficient group is the policing of the ship -on the mess deck, for example, which is maintained on the 4.0 level by a MAA representative. ., V 14: .ffacihf A las...
