"Tell it to the Chaplain" is a comment frequently heard in the army. Often it is spoken in jest; but the truth of the matter is that the chaplains of Hill field are anxious to have you "tell it to the Chaplain." They have a keen sense of responsibility for the moral and or morale, of spiritual the personnel assigned to this field. If you have a problem that you would like to discuss, or if you just wish to talk to someone, why not "tell it to the chaplain?" They are here to serve you to the best of their ability.

Ogden Air Technical Service Command, Meet Your Supervisor E-2- 46 . ds rd E-2- E-- 5, E-- Our Goal Is Efficiency One of the most important factors in the successful performance of our mission here at Ogden Air Technical Service Command is efficient personnel management. .This term . . . personnel management . . . implies the proper utilization of every individual ., . . in every department of the command. It. is achieved in many ways . . . by teamwork, unity of command, proper assignment and delegation of authority, adequate leadership, and by the desire of the individual employe to is reach the common goal, which . . .in our case victory. Effective personnel management has been a principal reason for our accomplishments in the past, but in the future . . . this aspect of our operation will be even more vital. With an increased emphasis on our job . . . proper personnel management will be the determining element in our continuing success. To individual supervisors falls a major responsibility in personnel management . . . the responsibility of analyzing the job, locating points for desired improvement, and reporting these findings to the proper section of Personnel and Base Services. Then it is the function of Personnel and Base Services to act . . .to eliminate points of friction . . . to develop a more efficient organization. Personnel and Base Services is equipped as a team of varied sectional activities to assist every department head and supervisor in all phases of the operation. Problems of separate units cannot always be recognized by the particular service activity concerned until these problems are brought to their attention. Each supervisor should realize that the tools are at his disposal to properly utilize every employe as an integral part of the overall mission of the command. Once the. weakness has been recognized and action taken by Personnel and Base Services to correct it,' the various supervisors and department heads must again assume the responsibility for continuing the smoothness of operation and the increased efficiency which should naturally result. ' Proper personnel management insures the accom- -, plishment of our mission with the utmost efficiency, speed, safety, utilization of manpower, and with the greatest personal satisfaction to each individual. It is a program which demands the cooperation of every one of us at Ogden Air Technical Service Command. ... ... ; -- Colonel, Air Corps, Commanding, Ogden Air Technical Service Command Two Workers' Suggestion for Cleaning Housings Wins $250 Important, contributions to thef Simple as this suggestion was it war effort are constantly being at will effect an estimated annual sav talned by the suggestion award Ing to the government of $98000 in program which has filled in man- manpower.

Utah, a sheet Cooper metal worker, who noticed a problem in the sparkplug unit and set about to correct it during his spare time by inventing a buffing machine, which enables one operator to turn out 250,000 spark per month. This is in contrastplugs with 50,000 airplane spark plugs per month formerly turned out by hand by four workers. More than a year Cooper was in the spark plugago, unit on a sheet metal job, installing a suction system for the spark plug sand blaster. He noticed the women buffing the plugs by hand and decided there was an easier and more efficient way of doing the job, and so set out to find it. Invention Requires Time He worked on for two or three months before perfecting his invention, which provides much greater safety and health protection, as all pigment and other foreign matter are drawn away by suction. It is impossible for the operator to get caught in the new machine, and it is made so it can be fed by both hands, automatically discharging the spark plugs in a tray, thereby eliminating the necessity of picking up the plugs. , Cooper's invention, which has a capacity of 20 spark plugs a minute, has saved the government an One stories of 01 his-ide- a estimated $8,500 In equipment OT the manpower Z. -during .nrotmn It is P" 1 dew ably the only one of similar Ik in any ATSC depot.
