While it is only natural that the thoughts of all civilian and military personnel should be concerned with their own personal reconversion to a peace-tim- e way of life, it is regrettable that this concern has become an incentive for rumors, which range from the ludicrous to the fantastic. Recently, we have been investigating rumors circulating Hill Field, and of dozens of rumors checked, not one had its basis in fact. That most rumors are false has definitely been proved . . . and this alone should discourage loose talk about future activities at this installation. Rumors invariably result in confusion and chaos. They cause needless anxiety, and frequently they stimulate hasty action which is often regretted. Rumors tend to destroy morale, to lower efficiency, and to decrease the quality and quantity of work produced. Let us assure you again, as soon as official information is received at this headquarters, it will be disseminated to you as rapidly as possible. This information will be authentic. I urge you to base your actions on news from official sources and to ignore the rumors which are usually the figments of someone's imagination. As one of many persons who are charged with the responsibility of carrying out reconversion directives with as little friction as possible, I appeal to you as individuals to cease the promulgation of rumors. The smoothness of this .changeover period is jeopardized by all persons who originate, carry, or take stock in rumors. Depend upon official sources for your information. In this way you will be helping assure an orderly and efficient reconversion process.

Carl B. Seideman, shift superintendent, reports that the projects now underway will be completed about the middle of September. This section employed 1008 people at the peak of production and at present has a total personnel of approximately 600. One needs only to learn of the records established by these employes and the vital type of work accomplished to realize the outstanding job done and its importance to the successful winning of the war. Types Overhauled Of the 14,050 engines which will have been completely overhauled, including the complete disassembly, cleaning, rework, assembly and testing of each engine, by the middle of September, a great many different types have been worked on. All these engines are used on modern military aircraft.

There is no better way to keep fit than by playing sports so let's get into the swing of things and come out for volleyball, softball, football, badminton, basketball, tennis, archery or any other sport you are interested in.
