And, believe it or not, there will
be additions to the list -300 pounds
of tomatoes, 100 gallons of milk,
ingredients for soup and sauce for
the ice cream and cake. For the
salad tables she will have tossed
greens, potato salad, radishes, cel-

cumbers, pickles, cheese and
crackers, fruit bread, fresh fruit
and ca6slerole dishes.
All this food will be consumed
when personnel of the station sit

days a year she has around 1,300
people to satisfy. And in summer

The foods listed will be eaten at

dinner will include similar quantL-
ties, with roast beef and Yorkshire
pudding, or roast pork with apple
sauce substituted for turkey.
F10. Taylor, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Frederick Taylor, 11, West -
acres Drive, Toronto, has one ad-
vantage over the ordinary house-
wife. While it is her responsibility
to direct the food services at the
station,, she has over 100 staff
cooks and 'kitchen personnel to
help her.
She is well qualified for her job.
Obtaining her Bachelor of Science
degree in Home Economies at Mc-
Gill
cGill University, she took her
dietetic internship at the Univers-
ity of Oregon Medical School Hos-
pitals in Portland, Oregon, and
worked! for a large U.S. restaurant
firm before joining the RCAF in
1952. She was messing officer at
ROAF Station, Aylmer, Ont., be-
fore coming to Clinton a year ago.
Meal -planning on a large scale
calls for ingenuity and- imagination
just Ls it does when a housewife
plans her meals. The "ration
scale" for Canadian Armed Forces
provides generous amounts of food
per person, including seasonal it-
ems, but it is still up to the in-
dividual messing personnel to use
that food with skill to produce at-
tractive, appetizing and well-bal-
anced meals.
Personnel at Clinton are, for the
most part, students who are ac-
quiring technical knowledge for
various radar, radio and telecom -

Flying Officer Nancy Taylor, of Toronto, checks the buffet
table in the airmen's mess at RCAF Station, Clinton, Ont., with
Flight Sergeant R. F. Little, of Centralia, NCO in charge of the
mess. As messing officer at the station, F/O.' Taylor is respon-
sible for meal -planning for as many as 1,900 officers, airmen and
airwomen during the busy 'summer months.
munications trades. Their training
requires many long hours of study,
in addition to drill, physical train-
ing and marching. They have, un-
derstandably enough, big appetites.
Not only is it the responsibility
of F/O. Taylor to please the appe-
tites of these people, she must sat-
isfy the medical officers and the
commanding officer at the station
as well, who are very much con-
cerned with what personnel in
their charge are eating.
In the main, it is her job to see
that food is -prepared, cooked' and
served according to the high stan-
dard set by the services; and that
cleanliness is maintained through-
out the kitchens and dining halls
of the four station messes -those
of the officers, sergeants, hospital
and airmen. Her duties entail
constant supervision in the dining
halls: "testing by taste" of all it-
ems
tems of food; inspection of messes
and kitchens, and administrative
supervision as to welfare, deport-
ment and •efficiency of the work-
ers, civilian and service, in her
charge. She prepares menus,
and pinned to the •bulletin boards
in the appropriate messes so that
personnel may know in advance
what to expect from day to day.
Glancing over a menu sheet, the
visitor will find that for every hot
meal •planned, there is a substitute
cold plate, although, according tai
F10. Taylor, people prefer hot
roasts and baked dishes "even in
hot weather."
On Fridays fish features the
main course, with pleat dishes as
an alternative. For example, on
Friday, July 9 of this year, baked
salmon with egg and parsley sauce
was the main dish, with grilled
beef patties offered as an alterna-
tive.
If repairs have to be made to any
of the gigantic stoves or steam
tables, a menu adjustment will
have to be made. Example - on
that day, the reporter found F/0.
Taylor substituting a meal of ham,
jellied chicken, beef and potato sal-
ad for the day the steam table in
the airmen's mess was to be re-
paired.
"People tend to eat more at the
beginning of Tl training course than
later on," she remarked in the in-
terview, "Some young summer
trainees have eyes much bigger
than their tummies for the first
few days of their two weeks'
course," she said, "and load their
trays with three or four desserts.
As they become accustomed to the
A FISHING TRIP
trhe following verses refer to a
fishing trip made by Harvey Les-
lie and John Beattie, of town, on
August 18, 1954:
A smiling fellow said to me:
For some time I've been wish4ng -
That you and I could take. time off
And spend a day out fishing.
In confidence, a friend told me
He knew where trout were plenty;
In fact, he said, he saw a catch,
Some measured inches twenty.
And as it was a date was set -
Next day at half past one -
We both deserve a needed change,
W'e're missing a (tit of fun.
The spot we found was just a mess,
The creek, a tiny trickle;
And was the going ever tough,
Said Harv., we're in a pickle.
I caught one little orphan trout,
Harvey caught three much smaller,
And as we struggled on and on,
The Golden Rod grew taller.
At least we stood close, side by
side,
And both began to shiver; •
Harv, said the dry spell 'h een
here,
No water in the river.
On our return we met a hill
As steep as Gibraltar;
The car was still a mile away -
No time to faint or falter.
A stook of oats looked good to me,
I sat down there to whistle;
My sit was short, my seat was sore,
I sat down on a thistle.
We're going again, I don't know
where,
Maybe to Tobermory;
If we have Iuck, Harv. says we will,

choices offered and realize they
may return for "seconds", they se-
lect their food more carefully and
with greater respect for their ca-
pacity." 4,
Do men like salads? "Yes," she
answered, "practically everyone
adds salad, tomatoes, pickles, dev-
illed eggs, etc..- to already laden
trays. And milk is a favorite, too,
with men and women alike."
Apple pie with ice cream remains
a universal favorite. Doughnuts
are well -favored, too, with the
cooks mixing batter for 250 dozen
when the menu calls for these de-
lectable morsels.
The same food for all is the Air.
Force plan, officers and airmen
alike receiving the same foods,
salads and extras.
On a busy station, time is para-
mount, and in the airmen's mess
it takes. only 12 minutes to get
through the queue from door to
table at rush hours.
Group Captain H. C. Ashdown,
of Ottawa, commanding officer of
the station, has a story to tell pf
one airwoman -trainee who com-
plained to her mother back home
that she was losing weight in the
Air Force. In due course, he was
asked for an explanation. Calling
the airwoman to his office he ask-
ed: "How much did you weigh
when you joined the Air Force?"
"About 118 pounds, sir," was the
answer.
"And how much do you weigh
now?'' he asked:
"Oh, about 130," the girl answer-
ed. Explaining. the girl replied
that if see fold her parents she
was putting on weight the "parcels
from home" might stop coming.
"Flight Lieutenant Elizabeth
Marritt, of Galt, Ont., a woman doc-
tor on the station, agrees that
some put on weight at the station
but that, the standard of health
and weight is -maintained despite
the fact that people are working
and studying hard.

day r8ads:-, apple juice, stewed

up about it, I will!"
He had "no trouble finding the
roadside stand. It stood in one of
the angles formed by the railway
track and the highway. A tired
looking woman with three small
children underfoot waited on him.
She made him up two dozen sand-
wiches, cheese and salmon, picked
him a variety of chocolate bars,
dropped a half dozen individual tea
bags into a larger bag; and wrap-
ped three bricks of ice eream in
heavy wrapping paper to keep, out
the heat. Nets almost forgot the
tobacco and the papers.

Fire Causes $1,500 Damage
Friday, the 13th, did prove un-
lucky for Mrs. John Turner, Rat-
tenbury St., when an unexplained
fire broke out near the stairway in
her home and quickly, spread to
cause $1,500 damage before the
Clinton Fire Department could ex-
tinguish the blaze. Norman Grif-
fiths, son-in-law of Mrs. Turner,
was asleep upstairs pn Friday
morning, when he heard the crack-
ling of flames and went downstairs
to investigate. The heat stopped
him at the foot of the steps, and
he was forced back upstairs, inhere
he escaped unhurt through a win-
dow. Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Grif-
fiths were in the kitchen at the
time, Origin of the fire is not
known. Damage to the stairway,
a back shed and two bedrooms
was extensive. Fire Chief Grant
Rath reported that the damage was
covered with insurance. The Clin-
ton !fire Department was credited
with stopping the blaze from
spreading. -Clinton News -Record.
