AT THE SAN
There is much excttment in the
San main kitchen this time of
year. At coffee time this morning
there was an extra special spicy
aroma floating into the dining room.
1 suspected fruit cake or plum,
pudding. There will be much to
do in the next few weeks as every
one in the dietary department cap
italizes on the season's festivities
to produce his own masterpiece.
All of which results in some high
level food. Your reporter believes
this kitchen could compete with
any other old fashioned home kit
chen or modern experimental lab
oratory and come right out on top
with the food honors — he ought
to know, he eats there.
The San Chat expects to print
a report of Thanksgiving dinner
aboard the B.M Wonsario docked
in Manilla. First cook, Lillian Al
dridge, a passenger on the ship
promised to send the report to
reach us before deadline, Decem
ber 10. Mrs. Aldridge will circle
the globe aboard the Wonsario
before returning here next May.
We will hear from her at least
once a month from some remote
spots, and these letters will be
published regularly in the San
Chat.
Letters from Helen I’riehe and
Diana MacKav tell of a pleasant
trip outside over the Alaskan High
way and south as far as Texas.
They plan to be back to Canada
for Christmas.
A new stainless steel pot and
pan sink has recently been install
ed in the iktchen. 1 can't imagine
such a thing, but Miss Hayward
reports that there is competition
to see who gets to wash the pots
and pans since the new sink has
been put in. Now — if it were an
automatic pot washer I might be
interested, but not just a sink —
not even a stainless steel one.

“good-luck" to their son. Johnny
recently too. He proceeds Devlin

Other news picked up during i
talk over morning coffee, Mrs. j
Gardner is giving her room a face
lifting — and so has Mrs. Clark
son. The night crew have started
a ping-pong tournament .and now
competition is so keen it's hard
for them to take time out to eat.
(Maybe your reporter will hear
•who the champion is.) The girls
had fun working on the Thanks
giving trays. Jane and Susan
Phillips helped make the little
turkey favors. In fqct,, Jane
thought the turkeys were under
fed and brought over a jar of
corn. By the way. do you know
how many turkeys were cooked
for Thanksgiving dinner for pat
ients at the San’ Twelve 22-pound

We think that's mighty swell of

Ollle Amend has been delivering
milk at the San kitchen for many
years and every day drives by
ward five just to wave a cherry
greeting to the children. Kids on
ward five watch for his truck every
day and a “tfere’s Ollle" goes
all around the ward as soon as
one of them spies the truck. He
left ice cream for their special
Thanksgiving treat. We wonder
if some of the children don’t think
Santa Claus drives a Milk Delivery
Truck?
Agnes Harp who has been down
'for several weeks with polio, has
returned home. Home being a

the dining room herself.

three showers given in her honor
