AWVS CANTEEN IN ACTION--Apple pie is a favorite of San Francisco men who guard the city at night. Here is a fresh batch of pies made by Pastry Chef Ernie Wenger of the Palace. Wenger has enlisted in the Navy as a pastry cook, and is awaiting a call to duty. Meanwhile he helps Mrs. David Huenergardt (in dark uniform) provide pastries for the AWVS canteen. Looking on are Mrs. Sydney Weisbaum and Mrs. Arnold Pastorius, whose husband was a pastry chef in World War I.
1946 Sept. 18.
