B 14 - 27 Mess Hall Workers 2

B 14 - 27 Mess Hall Workers.  


Ben Murphy: The camp's War Relocation Authority Caucasian staff directed that cleanliness and sanitation contests be periodically conducted as a means of encouraging morale plus maybe making the dreary, institution cooking a little bit better for everyone.  For the April 17,1943 contest mess hall 14-27 got 5th place (out of 39 mess halls in the residential area of the camp).  The other winners were; 1st place; mess hall 6-30; 2nd place, mess hall 28-30; 3rd place, mess hall 9-27; 4th place, mess hall 30-27.  (Each block had two mess halls whose building numbers were xx-27 and xx-30.)
