ving of meals. They are also hard

the culinary art. Heading the
list is Flight Sergeant A. Graham,
Halifax, N.S., followed by Flight
Sergeant F. T. Manderson, Syd-
ney, B.C., and Flight Sergeant T,
Thomas, Hamilton, Ont. These
NCO's administer twenty - four
cooks and fifty mess orderlies and
generally ensure that all airmen,
airwomen and flight cadets leave
the mess hall in a happy frame of
mind. It is no mean task to pre-
pare tasty, varied meals for stat-
ion personnel ranging up to 1600
hungry mouths from day to day.
Cleanliness is of prime interest
to the messing staff. That in-
cludes refrigerators, butcher shop,
vegetable rooms, storage rooms,
grills, steam tables, cooking uten-
sils, dining tables and most of all
the personal cleanliness of the
mess staff. This is ensured by
weekly visits of the Station Med-
ical Officer and daily visits of the
Orderly Officer to inspect the
mess. In addition, the Training
Command messing officer pays re-
gular visits to Clinton -to ensure
that all is well with the messing:
Another regular visitor is the
Commanding Officer, Group Capt-
ain E. A. D. Hutton. It is not un-

lunch with the airmen and air-
women. This further serves to
keep the mess staff on their toes
to ensure that everything is ship-
shape.
Gone are the days of long tables
and wooden benches. Each table
seats six people and comfortable
folding chairs are provided. The
tables are all metal construction
with an arborite top in a light
blue and white floral design. They
are easily and quickly cleaned
and the surface does not mark
easily.
The airmen's mess is an H -type
building with the kitchen in the
centre of the H. The dining
room is painted a pale green and
drapes adorn the windows. A
dining room annex had to be ad-
ded this summer to accommodate
the increase of personnel as the

Presents "Wings"
Orderly Corporal acts as a "traf-
fic cop" to direct personnel to
tables and save precious time.
An hour for lunch doesn't allow
too much time to feed 1600 hungry
airmen and airwomen who have
to be back in classes at 1 o'clock
sharp.
Every attempt is made to instill
variety into the menu. Seldom
does a dish appear on the menu
twice in the same week. Here is
a typical daily menu for "Johnny"
to choose from. For breakfast
there is tomato juice; a choice of
porridge with brown sugar or var-
ious cereals; poached or soft cook-
ed eggs with bacon; toast; jam,
honey and peanut butter; tea, cof-
fee or fresh milk. At noon there
is cream of corn soup; a choice of
baked virginia ham er minute
steaks; harvard beets; buttered
cabbage; creamed potatoes; a sal-
ad buffet; rice pudding; cheese
and crackers, bread and butter;
tea, coffee or milk. At supper
time in the evening he may eat
dinner soup; chicken a la king or
cheese omelet; potatoes o'brien;
mixed vegetables; combination
salad; salad buffet; hot rolls;
chocolate cake; apple sauce, bread
and butter; tea, coffee or milk.
It is not unusual for "Johnny"
to gain 10 or 15 pounds during
the first few months after he en-
ters the service. If "Johnny"
comes marching home on leave
with a well fed appearance, it is
the result of well planned meals
and a balanced diet.
