With the summer months at hand, the firehazard at Hill Field becomes increasingly great. And the job of fire prevention is not just one for the fire department, but for all of us both military and civilian personnel. We must become aware of the dangers from fire andeliminate wherever possible the conditions which occasion them. We must concentrate on putting out the blaze before it starts. The warehouses and supply buildings of the Ogden Air Technical Service Command represent many millions of dollars invested in invaluable concentrations of highly critical war items. They are stored here pending their requisition by the various tactical units of the AAF, both at home and overseas. Every care must be given to protect them from damage and loss. The same is true of the repair facilities and the planes and engines in our maintenance division. Proper fire prevention means that each soldier and each employe on this base is constantly on the alert to the danger of a conflagration. It means that everyone is a fireman . . . with a responsibility to be discharged, and a knowledge of what to do in an emergency. Generally speaking, in the past, this command has been fortunate in having a low fire loss. We must see that this continues. There is too much at stake to be careless or to overlook any situation where remedial action may be taken. Ordinarily the loss from fire increases during the summer and fall months. . We must see that this does not occur here. 'We owe it to ourselves and to our country's welfare to make certain that every dollar's worth of A AF supplies entrusted to our care arrives at its final destination safely and without loss due to our great enemy fire. : , ' V May Y 1 31-Ju- ne Matinee Thursday 1 Evenings 7 and 9 "See My Lawyer" .

A-2- Veteran Pilot Makes Perfect Crash Landing in Fast timei A-2- 0 excitement was created-last Friday at Hill field when the crew chief on a routine flight test in an 0 "Havoc" attack plane had to bail out and the pilot had to make a crash landing due to the fact that it was impossible to get the nose gear down. The crew chief Walter J. Scott of Murray, Utah, suffered a dislo cated ankle and broken bone in one leg when he landed by parachute, while the pilot Lieut. John H. Freeman, veteran of 65 missions in North Africa, Sardinia, Sicily, Italy and southern France made a perfect belly landing and came out without a scratch. Scott, who is a senior aircraft service mechanic in flight test, and Lieut. Freeman flight-tes- t pilot a OATSC sweat it out for approximately three hours, attempting to get the nose gear down so they could land. When it became apparent that it was impossible to correct the condition, Scott bailed out at 2500 feet about 1:45 p. m., Lieut. Freeman kept circling the field until his gas supply was all but exhausted and then made his perfect landing with the wheels retracted so the plane would not turn over.
