"The Radio Branch wishes to commend you and the members of your staff for their work in the planning and execution of this program, the commendation, addressed to the public relations officer, stated. "We find it to, be a worthwhile program and one which performs a sound public relations mission", it added. Written by Evelyn McCutcheon and produced by Lt. Ronald Gamble, both of the OATSC public relations office, the drama related the story of Capt. John Alley, husband of Sylvia Alley, who is employed as a clerk in the utilities section here. Capt. Alley, pilot of a was killed while flying supplies over "the Hump". His wife, on his twenty-nint- h birthday, purchased two $1000 war bonds in his memory.

The leg J. Dyches, safety muscles, which are much stronger than the back or abdomen muscles, should carry the strain in lifting to avoid hernia or back injuries which so often result in permanent disabilities. There were 341 lifting accidents at OATSC in 1944. Many of these were the source of serious and Dainful injuries. It behooves em oloves at this installation to bear in mind that this type of accident is usually unnecessary and contrib utes to loss of earnings to the in jured and loss of manpower to the war effort. The safe way of doing the gob is the shortest way. Safety, qual are the essential ity and quantity factors in a high standard of pro duction. Each is indispensable in doina the work satisfactorily. Any employe not sure oi tne proper methods of lifting should consult nis supervisor. Post Schools Start . sus-IwZ- I Two meatless days weekly at both Hill field arestaurants began this week, Captain John J. Niemy-sk- i, post restaurant officer, has announced. With the availability of extra shipping space U. S. fighting men abroad will soon receive fresh meat in place of "C" and. "K" rations. This, plus other problems, is ex pected to result in a marked cut in the domestic meat supply. One of the days will be Friday and the other has tentatively been et for Tuesday. Meat substitutes will be utilized to maintain nutri tional value of meals, Captain Niemyski said. Substitutes to be Major Bruce W. Strong used will include fish, beef liver, eggs and cheese. How long the meatless menus will continue has not been determined. Medical authorities have said that meatless menus will prove bene ficial to most people and added that in the past several years the general health of the British has improved despite more severe ra tioning than Americans will ever Major Bruce W.
