All in the Day’s Work
By a Valley Cook
- Oh that I could cook what the
* customers like
Or know what the customers
want.
The species are queasy and it is
not easy
To please both the heavy and
gaunt.
My day starts quite early when
most folks are surly
Until their first coffee they’ve
had—
“The toast is too brown on one
side,” they frown,
“And the mush is too mushy,”
they add.
“A cannibal sand” up with a
“ham and,”
Fry two over hard and a stack, i
That’s simple enough but the
going gets tough,
The next customer has the
knack.
“Egg sandwich, and look! you go
tell that cook
I don’t want no grease running
out.
A slice of tomato, and hold the
potato.
The gravy is sour, no doubt.”
Crab salad, dry toast, spare ribe
and pot roast,
Lean on the spare ribs, “Oh
dear.”
Rib medium rare, only well by a
hair.
I’m sorry, it can’t happen here, j
I’m tearing my hair—they don’t j
seen to care—
And here comes the classic, she j
hollers:
“Egg salad sand, with no mayon
naise and
Some hot cakes the same size as '
dollars.”
A waffle with bacon—my po’
head is achin’—
A B, L & T and two chilis,
A" big slice of raw that some boob
wants to chaw
With his donuts—it gives me j
the willies.
Some day I’ll retire, and not go i
near a fire
Except to get warm, and my
cooking
I’ll do in my dreams, just cooking j
up schemes
To harass other cooks—are they
looking.
Dept, of Defense
To Continue Sending
Dependents to Germany
FORT RICHARDSON — The
Department of Defense recently ■
announced that it will continue to ;
send dependents of military and •
civilian personnel to Germany.
However, the shortage of housing
in certain sections of Germany ;
has made it necessary to slow,
down the movement of dependent
families to that area.
On and after February 15, 1951, j
no applications for concurrent j
travel of qualified personnel and ;
their dependents to Germany will j
be approved. Those individuals :
whose applications are approved ;
before February 15 will be per
mitted to have their families ac
company them.
’ The overseas movement of the
families of personnel who are as-;
signed to stations in Germany j
\^ill be by a priority waiting list
which will be established by the;
overseas commander. These fam- j
ilies will receive overseas move- i
ment orders as soon as housing is j
available.
Dr. Neil W. Hosley
Named Dean of Faculty
At University of Alaska
I
After studying the qualifica- j
tions of some 53 candidates, the
Board of Regents of the Univer
sity announce the appointment of
Dr. Neil W. Hosley to be dean of
the faculty, effective at the end of
the academic year 1950-51, on
July 1.
Born in upper New York State j
in 1901, Dr. Hosley graduated |
from Syracuse University in 1924 !
majoring in forestry. He received
his masters degree in Forestry
from Harvard in 1925 where he
was forest assistant at the Har
vard forest from 1925 to 1930.
During the nineteen thirties he
was an instructor in forestry at J
Harvard. During 1934-35 he held
the Charles Lathrop Pack Fel- '
lovship at the University of
Michigan where he received his
Ph.D. in Wildlife management in
1938. He then went to the Uni
versity of Connecticut where he
became assistant professor of for
estry and wildlife management,
and subsequently head of the de
partment. a post he held until
1946. In that year he became
biologist in charge of wildlife in
vestigation of public lands for the.
United States Fish and Wildlife
Service; and in March of 1950 he j
was appointed to be head of the .
wildlife research unit and the j
courses in wildlife management j
and conservation taught at the j
University of Alaska.
Two Great Deans
Commenting upon the appoint
ment, President Moore said: “The
work of the faculty and life of the
students they teach at the college
or university, revolve around the
dean. There have been two great
deans in the history of the Uni
versity of Alaska: Dean Paddy,
who first developed its School of
Mines; and then some years later,
Dean Duckering, who brought the
Engineering School of the Uni
versity to its present position of
importance. Although a good
dean like a good president does
not favor his own personal field,
but aids the work of all depart- j
ments of the University, never- j
theless, one cannot help but be |
