"Stewarts" ?????????????

I think you meant "Stewards"
Just as an aside,the origins of the term "Stewards" stem from seafaring days of old.
In those days pork was a staple meat diet on sailing ships and the person who looked after the live pigs before slaughter was the "Sty"(as in pig sty) Warden.
The term "Steward" is a deritive of the old nautical position of "Styward"
A cynical person may say not much has changed in 2 or 3 hundred years.
