At the nine a.m. service. ChaDlain Carl G. Carlson will bring an Easter message and the chapel trio will present special Easter music. rd , , Again the Ogden Air. Technical Service Command is honored to act as host to a national conference. This," time, from all area commands in the continental United States, from world headquarters of ATSC at Wright Field, from the ' AAF chief of air staff office in Washington, D. C, and from the National Safety Council headquarters in Chicago, delegates are gathered here to discuss the ground safety program, so important to the work of the Army Air Forces. Perhaps no other part of the army has given more considered study and attention to the problem of safety than the AAF, The problems arising from training of thousands of fliers, the hazards of routine and tactical flights by AAF personnel, have served to emphasize the safety factor in the minds of those entrusted with the leadership of the world's greatest air force. However, safety does not begin and end in the air in the AAF. It starts right on the ground. Statistics show us how vital a part safety methods play in con- serving our manpower and in preventing the loss of in--on the job. Naturally, since the. valuable ATSC is the greatest employer of civilian .workers in Air Technical Service Comthe War Department,-the- ; mand has put into effect an intensive safety program on a nation-wid- e scale, planned to protect all. workers, and civilian, who are helping to "Keep 'Em military Flying." It will be recalled that last year the National Safety Council presented the command with a special award for its efforts. The credit for past success in the safety program can be attributed to a large degree directly to the work of the delegates who are cathered here. The outstand ing success of the ground safety program is a tribute to their careful and meticulous planning.' The elimination of personal injuries due to accidents contributes dimission of rectly to presenteeism and to ATSC; the procurement, maintenance and supply of aircraft for the Army Air Forces. Delegates to the safety conference, we hope your stay here has been a pleasant one and! you will take away with you happy memories of Hill Field. But most of all we wish you a successful meeting as you discuss ways and means to establish a new high safety record for the tens of thousands of men and women now manufacturing, modifying, maintaining and supplying the fighting and bombing arid cargo carrying aircraft of the AAF. At the eleven a.m. Easter serv ice conducted by Chaplain Karl A. Tubesing, selections from the "Eas ter Messiah" by Handel will be sung by the chapel choral club, Arthur Chaplain Spears and Pfc, Louise Carpenter report having enjoyed their classes at the Chaplain transition school held, in San Antonio, Texas. Returning to Utah with its snow-cla- d peaks and cold weather seems quite a change after spending several weeks in the sunny clime of Texas. We" welcome them back to our midst. ' A. N. Holt, Pfc.
