ARMY COOKS
FIVE THOUSAND TO BE TRAINED
IN AUSTRALIA
Five thousand cooks arc to bo trained during the next 12 months to meet the demands of greatly increased Australian military forces.
Cooks already serving with units are being selected and given further training in dietetics and the theory and practice of cooking to equip them as instructors in cookery. The first bach of 40 cooks selected from units in all States is now attending an Army School of instruction at Geelong (Victoria'.
Oil-burning stoves on motor-vans arc largely to supplant the old horsedrawn field cooker, and experiments are proceeding with vans in which meals may be cooked while travelling at 35 miles an hour.
