Releases Say Hill Field Is Permanent Hill Field has been designated as a permanent installation in the interim Army Air Forces, according to news dispatches from Washington, D. C. Nothing official has been received at this headquarters as yet to confirm this information. Brig. Gen. Ray G. Harris, commanding general of Og-dAir Technical Service Command, declined to comment pending further information from official sources. en Section Aims To Lessen Fall Injuries Reduction of injuries due to slipping, tripping and any hazard which causes workers to fall and injure themselves, is the objective of the ground safety section for September and October. This type of accident accounts for an average of 26,000 deaths in the United States each year, according to figures released by the section. It hopes to reduce such accidents to a minimum at Hill Field. Falls at OATSC have resulted in injuries to every part of the body, according to figures kept 1945 through Joseph Edvalion (Offden) master I by the section. In were 269 falls reported Donald A.

Snyder, chief of civilian personnel. of nearby Representatives military installations who have been stationed in the clockhouse for the past 10 days aided many of the employees being separated to transfer to other civil service jobs. Major Snyder explained that it was the policy of the command to give employees two weeks of active duty where possible. However, employees may clear the field at any time after receiving the official notice of separation, he said. All employees who have been notified of separation under reduction of force action must leave the field by October 31, either on annual leave, LWOP, or complete final clearance, Major Snyder explained. Retention of registers will be revised as of November 1 under provisions of new civil service regulations which become on that date, Major Snyder said. ef-fest- ive Figures reveal that employees personnel and training have contributed $588.19; engineering $409.87; supply, $480.87; and headquarters $296.82. Hill Field officers have donated $669.13. First sections on the field to achieve 100 per cent participation in the drive, says Capt. Murphy, were the judge advocate general's office and the air inspector's office of headquarters. The vehicle and powered ground equipment section of engineering also made a superior showing, he reports. Leading: In Drive Other OATSC sections making appreciable progress in the cam paign were the technical order and compliance section and the aircraft storage section of engineering; employee relations, payroll, and surgeon's office of personnel and training; and the administrative section, branch two, and property and supply branch of supply. Capt. Murphy once again reminds employees that this united appeal avoids the necessity for many individual solicitations and will enable fully twenty-seve- n different agencies to benefit from the funds accumulated. Of the combined fund for Og-dand Weber counties, $72,-6will be allotted to war services and $42,302 to local agencies. The latter fund will ba distributed among boy scouts, girl scouts, children aid, dental clinic, Weber County health, and Salvation Army. en 98 Shoe Stamp Is Available for Shoes Safety G. E. England, safety engineer, reminds Hill Field employees that special shoe stamps with which to purchase safety shoes may still be obtained at the ground safety section upon request Employees need only present their ration books showing no valid shoe stamps and a special stamp will be issued to them. Safety shoes, he says, can be purchased at most Ogden and Salt Lake clothing stores: Participating In Program to Aid Veterans Hill Field Is Approximately 300 civilian supervisors and 200 officerstwo-ho-at OATSC have attended a conference in the post schools which has ben held at various times during the past two weeks to acquaint such officials with the background of the veterans' program. The first conference was held on Sept. 26 under Richard H. Coombes of the supervisor training unit and the last on Friday. The veterans' obprogram covers a three-fol- d War the Departunder jective ment's interpretation of the GI Bill 'Of Rights. These three nhases are the war uepari- ment s obligation to the return-- ) ur returning veteran must meet and the rights and benefits he will enjoy upon fulfilling these requirements. Master Conferences This program was set up and sponsored by the office of the Secretary of War and was first presented at four master conferences held in New York City, New Orleans, Chicago and San Francisco by three officers. Those persons trained at these worked as a team in presenting the program at regional conferences. Persons trained at these regional conferences then returned to their installations to place the program into effect. This planned approach has resulted in sll 1600 War Department in- high-ranki- ng |
