We get the jobs no one else can C10 .... and what 3 varietyuof jobs we do, Everyt 'ng from kee - ing the motor whalehoar rurming to keeping telephones working, from welding a broken brace to fixing the laundry dryer, Another of our big jobs is keeping the ship ready to meet any damage it might suffer such as fire or flooding, lf we have any trouble, our damage control teams Work quickly to minimize the casualty, and keep the ship afloat and ready to fight. When things go right, ours is a thank- less lot. But you should hear the -hue and cry that goes up if anything goes wron . Electricians, plumiers, mechanics, all rush to the scene. Why in all modesty, we realize that we must be the most important and doingest division aboard. E z
