His standing with and in the adjacent communities was recently summed up in alocal newspaper editorial on his promotion to Brigadier General: "Were a vote taken in this locality there would be for overwhelming approval of the President's action Genthere long has been a keen local appreciation of eral Berman's abilities and a knowledge of the size and scope of his duties.

So effective and successful have been the policies of General Berman, who has been in command since the activation of the Ogden Air depot three and one-ha-lf years ago, it is considered the better part of wisdom to continue such policies, which will Include a constant striving for improvement to the end that the Ogden Air Service command becomes the most efficient supply and repair depot In the service. Realising that the success of the Ogden Air Service command depends upon the efforts of its thousands of inval miiiin, and civilian personnel, I earnestly solicit and feel confident your loyalty to the common cause will inspire you to continue to give the same efficient service that you have always given my prede cessor.

During the three and one-ha- lf years ef the varying vicissitudes of activation, organisation and operation I have been privileged to remata in command. However, I have Just received War Department orders which transfer me to another command. If I have taken an Inordinate pride in the accomplishments and success this command has enjoyed, it is but natural. Every problem confronting this command has been my personal worry? every achievement has been a source of personal gratification; every member of this command I have come to regard as a member of a great official family ef which I have had the honor te be the head. Having seen this depot grow from a barren plot of ground to a major repair and supply Air Servdepot equal to that ef anyhad ice command depot In the United a hand States, and Laving in shaping Its destinies to some extent, I fcaew I can be pardoned if I have come to feel a sense of rreprletership in tne installation and a sense of comradeship wi.h every officer, soldier and civilian who has labored so faithfully and contributed so materially in the making ef this great organisation. I cannot help but feel a deep and lasting regret at leaving a eommani which I consider the crowning experience ef 22 years ef Arm? service. If I have been credited with some measure ef success In tb th organisation and operation ef this Installation, I realise that efficredit belongs, not to me personally, bat te the loyal and cient support I have received from the personnel ef this tm acnanar that T mand. and I want each and nf have my deepest gratitude far the consistently efficient service' you have rendered.
