In order to conserve our manpower, both military and civilian, and to attain a greater operating efficiency and economy, we are consolidating the administrative and headquarters, functions of the .base with the Ogden- Air Technical Service Command. This, means a number of changes in assignments. But our primary thought is to be able to do a better job with the use of less overhead personnel, thus having as many of our staff and em? .ployees as possible engaged in actual production.- In this connection I wish to call your attention to the very important communication received from our : The policy is issued by the Business Aden's Assurance company, of Kansas City, Mo., an old legal re serve life insurance company,. The policy, which has now been secured by nearly one thousand Hill fielders, provides for daily room, meals and nurse service allowance for any sickness, plus the cost of operating room, laboratory and anesthetics for any operation, for .acciplus the cost of y dents..'' Jt also pays ambulance charges' up to $50 for identification and transportation in the event of sickness away from home. The policy also provides for the payment of surgeon's fees from $3 to $150 for- each operation, with no limit as to the number in any pol icy year. Application blanks may be obtained by foremen or supervisors in the various plants. Applications may be filed with Wesley King, the B. M.

Knudsen, and which is quoted in full on the front page of this issue of the Hill-- , fielder. We are faced with a crisis in supply, he says, and a crisis in production. He points out that our war tempo has reached the point where we now are expending many of the items necessary for modern combat at a rate faster than they are being produced. And he points out that our workers must now, more than ever, remain on the job. "Our aircraft program must be increased," said Gen. Knudsen. "Workers must stay on the job!" In terms of our own task hereat Hill Ifield, this means that not a minute can be lost in meeting our deadlines, in supply and maintenance. It means that absenteeism must be eliminated. It means that we must collectively meet this new production crisis by increasing our individual efficiency. It means that the war is not yet won. But it can and will be won by the united efforts, night and day, of the millions of civilian war workers, in this and all other production establishments, who provide the tools for the critical battles now. going on in Europe and the Pacific. Gen. Knudsen's urgent appeal, I am certain, will be answered promptly and effectively by the loyal and patriotic workers of the Ogden Air Technical Service Command. n tj J" 1 & i ' , - mm mm , f 'j , Ts X n, A-6- 4, Branch Nine Leads Supply Bond Drive One Worker Allots Per Cent Of Pay to Bonds 42 Rlilk, Can of Eggs PAUL W.

These are operated with gas, oil and coal. The monthly fuel bill at Hill field is no small item with cubic feet of gas being used in November, 50,000 gallons of fuel oil and 1,100 tonr of coal. This was used in 1,253 heating units, including seven large central plants. It takes 96 men to operate and repair this beating, ana proon the duction of processed steam ' dergoes Under Utilities The heating job is under the util ities section, headquarters and maintenance division. It is. divided into operations under Assistant Foreman William A. Rossiter,. Salt Lake City. They supervise the operation and repair of the system on - a - day,' seven - days a schedule, in spite of a shortage of skilled workers. Two of these large plants are d and located in the area. They are so arranged that if either fails the other can be cut in to produce the steam for that area. The open warehouses near the radio transmitter are not heated. Directive Orders 72 Degrees' A recent directive from the office of war fuels administration ordered that offices be 'heated to a temperature, warehouses to 60 degrees and buildings where heavy equipment is handled to 50 degrees. This was done in the interests of fuel conservation.
