Thousands of diers have landed at Hill Field in the past few weeks. During a recent month, for example, nearly 700 wounded men, many of them from Okinawa, were hospitalized at the station hospital. Many times that number delayed long enough to receive emergency medical care and refreshments from the Red Cross before speeding on. As soon as word is received that a hospital plane is stopping at Hill Field, the Red Cross, Air Transport Command, and hospital officials go into action. As the plane alights, equipment follows it to its stop, ready for any emergency that might jeopardize the valuable cargo of wounded heroes. Ambulances are waiting, manned by experienced medical personnel, to take patients who are fire-fighti- ng IFaeBd Red Cross volunteer representatives are on hand to greet the men, supply them with everything from cigarettes to coffee. At the hospital, patients receive necessary medical treatment from Hill Field doctors and nurses, including changing of bandages and bathing. After this, they eat and the menu usually includes steaks or chops. After the meal, the Red Cross provides entertainment, movies and local shows, and refreshments again. Everything possible is done to make the wounded men's stop at Hill Field as pleasant as possible. Much of the work in enter taining the men, providing them with refreshments, and making them comfortable is done by the Hill Field Red Cross chapter unn, der supervision of Sheldon field director, Paul Parr and Alfred Oakie. Women volunteers from the Davis County chapter of the Red Cross are at the field to greet every incoming plane. Mrs. Rowetta Kilfoyle is chairman of this group. Charged with the responsibility of coordinating movements of air evacuees through Hill Field is Captain William B. Bickley of the Air Transport Bur-geso- Command.
