He later became mess steward for officers mess, Third Army Headquarters, Fort McPherson, Ga. His colonel, L<t. Col. Lewis C.

Miss Helen Whitfield, elementary teacher from Easley, S. C. There are two dining rooms at the assembly. The old dining hall, Rhododendron, which can com fortably seat 400 people but has a maximum capacity of 800, is used for staff members’ meals. The new addition can comfortably serve 1,- 670 people at one time. During Music, Training Union, and Sun day school weeks the staff dining hall has to be reset so that all the guests can be seated at one tune. The dining room has never run out of food, but sometimes there has been much apprehension when too many or too few people have shown up for meals. Mr. Powell, Miss McSrary and Mrs. Stinson, the reservation clerk confer and consider the number of registra tions and the number served dur ing past years in deciding how- many places are needed. Then Mr. Powell and Miss Mc Crary consult their crystall ball (empty ink bottle of former chief hostess) and usually come up with an accurate number to be served at each meal! Miss McCrary tells Mr. Powell that he can open his freezer in emergencies but that she can’t manufacture a waitress or bus-boy. Friday lunch and Sunday din ner are the largest meals in the number of people served. Mrs. Powell is the former Vel ma Beaty from Charleston, S. C. She determines for each meal the cost of each item on the menu, the food cost per person, the food and supply cost per person, and the number fed.
