Deadline for completion of the project has been set for September 7th. which gives workers just four working days to cpmplete their job. When Project "Uplift", is com pleted, Hill's bosses expect to be able to give Red Feather agencies a shot in the arm thatwill increase the size of the Community Chest to a nice round figure. ...... Heres how Project "Uplift" is de signed to work at Hill: The work order of Project "Uplift" calls for the maintenance of the Ogden Area Council of Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, Inc., and the Salvation Army: rehabilitation of the blind through the Ogden chapter of the Utah Association for the Blind; and rehabilitation of destitute children through the Children's Aid Society. Requisitions written against Project "Uplift" order the services of a Dental Clinic, authorizes funds for the United Defense Fund to help provide foreign relief for war- torn countries and recreational fa cilities for servicemen, funds for the USO, a residence for the YWCA to carry out their counseling and recreational services, and a Traveler's Aid service. The shipping ticket or shipping document being issued to each worker at the field lists the ten agencies in the Ogden Community Chest. These agencies are the actual destinations of the cash contributed in the campaign. Each worker is marking on his shipping ticket the amount of material he is supplying each agency to operate it for a year. While officials who are directing the work of Project "Uplift" have not accepted or established a quota or even set a goal for their participation in the Red Feather campaign, it is anticipated that work- - Hill Visitor se at for wage board employees amount will base Air Force in increase in the biweekly pay-- -, Hill of approximately $20,rtn' according to Lesl'e ef of classification and wage branch. at 7,000 employees proximately an on huriy 1, who are paid be ?tecreayse winch 1S; T?om Tto 6 cent? an hour, iges cents 3 hour for ungra 1 at JSTpSi of September. he raise is a ird surveys wWcn tly to keep wages , pioyees m private oi u- Aed employees. . b , ilaries b on AoneTesSt Norton paid ermincd by The opening of a bank at Hill Air Force Base not only provides convenient banking service for employees but will simplify the payment of military personnel also, according to Major Merle G. Coombs, finance officer. Since the opening of the bank, plans are being formulated to pay military personnel by check, Major Coombs said. Heretofore, the over 2500 officers and airmen stationed at this base had been paid in cash. In September it is anticipated that the 900 military personnel in the maintenance squadron will be paid by check as a service test, the major said. If this system works satisfactorily, all military will receive their monthly payments by check. This will not only save time, but will provide a much better record of finances disbursed by this base. the major said. The recently opened bank is the Hill AFB Facility of the First Security Bank of Utah, N.A. Located in the south end of the civilian cafeteria, the bank is opened for business from 11:30 a. m. until 5 p. m. Monday through Friday. Manager of the bank Harvev Neuteboom, states that complete banking facilities are available. "We handle savinea and chenk. ing accounts, bank money orders, travelers checks, cashiers checks, and cashing of saving bonds," he said.

"If anyone deals with our bank in Ogden, he can make deposits or withdrawals from this branch which will be recorded In the main office." Additional cashiers are on duty on pay days to handle the extra rush of business Neuteboon said.
