ded with a small agate or enamel hand basin
in which she can keep her toilet articles when not in use. The basin can
be kept under the head of the cot and is one of the things to be
thoroughly inspected each day.
Dishes for Mess Hall
Each camper should have a dinner plate, a bowl, a cup and saucer of
either white enamel ware, which is the best, crockery, which is not
recommended, aluminum, or if these are too expensive, tin. There should
be serving dishes such as one platter and three serving bowls for each
table, extra plates for bread, sugar bowl, butter dishes, large and
small pitchers, salt cellars; and do not forget the vase for flowers.
The table flat ware should consist of a fork, knife, a large and small
spoon for each child, knives for butter, serving spoons and extra
serving forks. Nickel, re-tinned, or tin-plated steel gives excellent
service.
Dishes for Kitchen
In so far as is possible use no tin in the kitchen. Use agate, aluminum,
porcelain or iron. When necessary to have very large boilers buy those
made of re-tinned steel with copper bottoms. For a camp of fifty or more
the following equipment is necessary: two large boilers, two feet high
and from twelve to fourteen inches in diameter, with handles and with
closely fitted covers; one large open boiler with a bail; three agate
boilers with bails, holding from twelve to fifteen quarts; two smaller
boilers and one sauce pan holding three quarts; four, three quart pails
with covers; one large and one small tea kettle; one colander, two
sieves (one with a handle and one large one without a handle); three or
four iron pans, the largest size that will fit into the oven; one quart
measure, one pint measure, one measuring cup; three large mixing bowls,
four milk pans, four milk bowls, and dishes in which left-overs can be
kept; one bread board, rolling pin, toaster, two iron pot rests, two
frying pans, a tea pot, a long-handled dipper, a long-handled skimmer,
six spoons with handles of different lengths, a bread knife, a meat
knife, a cleaver, a dozen vegetable knives, two can openers, one large
serving tray for each table, three dish pans, a bread cutter, a flour
sieve, a sugar scoop, an apple corer, scales, a meat grinder, and an ice
cream freezer.
