THIS BOOK PRESENTS THE VIEWS OF THE AUTHOR ONLY AND HAS NO CONNECTIOIN WITH ANY DEPARTMENT OF THE GOVERNMENT.

**     THE PREPARATION OF THIS BOOK IS THE OUTGROWTH OF ABOUT TEN YEARS' EXPERIENCE IN MANAGING MESSES OF OFFICERS, SOLDIERS, AND CCC CAMPS. IT IS THE OBSERVATION OF THE AUTHOR THAT ALL MESSES NOT CLOSELY SUPERVISED HAVE ABOUT THE SAME STANDARD DEFECTS, DUE TO A FAILURE TO APPRECIATE WHAT MAY BE DONE WITH A MODERATE AMOUNT OF EFFORT ON THE PART OF THOSE CONCERNED WITH THE MANAGEMENT.                                                                                                                  THE COOKS, THE MESS SERGEANTS, MESS OFFICERS, AND COMPANY COMMANDERS ARE ALL ANXIOUS TO LEARN HOW TO IMPROVE THE MESS. THIS BOOK TRIES TO PRESENT A SIMPLE, DEFINITE, EASY PROCEDURE, AND IT IS THE HOPE OF THE AUTHOR THAT IT WILL PROVE HELPFUL TO BETTER THE FEEDING OF THE ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE CCC CAMPS.
