Jn 1927, he moved to Clark Field, and returned to the United States in February, 1929, assigned to the First Pursuit Group, Selfridge Field, Mich. Attended ATSC School In May of 1929 he was appointed commanding officer of the 17th Pursuit Squadron, and later became operations officer of the First Pursuit Group. For a year, from July 1932, until July, 1933, he attended the Air Corp Engineering School at "Wright Field, and was subsequently assigned to the engineering section, materiel division. Two years were then spent at March Field, Calif., until he retired from active duty in September, 1935, in the grade of captain. One of the most interesting of Col. Wolf's experiences was participation in the first Arctic patrol by the United States Army Air Forces the first mass flight ef the Air Corps to test existing equipment under conditions of extreme cold. In October 1940, he was recalled to active duty and assigned to Lowry Field, Denver, Colo., where he served in various assignments, including that of base engineering officer, and later, engineering officer of He was the 59th commanding officer of the Lowwhen the Air Serv ly ot sub-dep- ot sub-dep- ot. assumed jurisdiction.

Wolf's broad Army background is reflected in the fact that he is a flying officer, an infantry officer, and engineering and supply officer, as well as a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point. Few officers in the AAF have had a background of more diversified experience. While stationed in Denver, Col. Wolf was instrumental in develcenter oping the modification there. Col. Wolf saw this original investment of $2000 grow to an investment of over ice Command $30,-000,0- 00. . In his job as chief ot supply at Hill Field, Col. Wolf did an outstanding job, supervising the expansion of this division and efficiently directing the complex activities of its functions. His tour of duty as commanding officer of Hill Field has gained for him recognition from Utah civic and state leaders, as well as praise from higher headquarters. Among CoL Wolf's hobbies are horseback riding and stamp collecting. He was born in Eureka, Kansas, April 6, 1901, and attended Colorado College at Colorado Springs prior to his entrance into West Point. Col. Wolf and Mrs. Wolf, with their three children, reside on the field.

The driver, Mr. Dawson, had the wagon at Sahara Village at 8:30 and drove the long way around over bumps, hills end through calling, "low - bridge," gates which meant, "watch for the trees." The group sang and fed each other hay all the way, but that was just an appetizer for the real treat that awaited them. Would you like to go on a ride? "Hay?" Attention is celled to our movie, Wednesday evening, Sept. 12th, when "Star Spangled Rhythm," will be presented for your en joyment. On Saturday, Sept. 12th, the feature picture will be "Objective Burma," and another epi sode of the "Tiger Woman." The attraction for Sunday, Sept. 16th, is "Take It- Big." There are no more swing-shi- ft shows, but our regular 7:00 and 9:00 p.m. performances remain unchanged. Our various halls are again crowded in the evening due to the cool weather driving the people indoors. There is always some entertainment for young and old, and our talented musicians keep the crowds busy around the piano. The use of the kitchen in the Library building is avail able every evening, and all day Saturday and Sunday for private dinners and parties. Reserva tions must be made ahead of time. This is also true of the sewing machines as they are so much in demand, to be assured of their use, it is best to notify the hostess as early as possible.

This recent contribution to the of health and the morale overseas AAF soldiers is accomplished through hydroponics, otherwise known as chemical gardening. Though the project is based on proven methods of scientific gardening, this is the first time the chemical process has been applied in such vast proportion. Adaptation of the method to AAF needs has been worked out by the Aero Medical Laboratory of the Engineering Division, ATSC, which had been 'waiting the necessary priorities before going ahead with a stepped-u- p production schedule. Two Projects In Operation Two projects are already dish ing up fresh vegetable salads to GI mess halls at overseas bases. One is at Ascension Island and the second is at a station in the South Pacific. The third and latest project was recently to Atkinson Field, Georgetown, British Guiana. Ten additional projects are in the planning stage.

ReDresentatives will be at the Mondav clockhouse dailv. through Friday, during the reg ular day smtts, until September 21. Meanwhile conies of com pleted retention registers are be ing aistriDutea to tne various administrative offices of maior divisions of the command as well as to employment counselors and placement advisers. Registers Open To All These retention registers are open to examination by any employe. Major suggested that persons interested in learning their status on the retention register should contact employment counselors, who will also be able to answer questions relat ing to reduction in force. Within a few davs. a list of all those to be separated will be completed. These persons will ..then receive an official notice of separation. Retention registers list employes in order of retention preference. This retention preference is based upon type of civil appointment, veteran's preference, efficiency rating, and length of service. These retention registers, which have been checked and rechecked during the past week, are compiled in accordance with War Department procedure and Civil Service Commission regulations. According to Major Sny der this method provides fairness for everyone concerned. It is anticiDated that the nlan of having representatives from labor short installations interview employes who may be separated from Hill Field will result in little or no loss of employment time, and that this procedure will prevent unemployment among persons separated from the Field- Persons who are accented for transfer by other installations will be released from Hill' Field as .soon as they desire, Col.
