Show J I u....ri.i j vi r Ocrobs, The HiMfielder 1 Rule Changed On Moving t Dependents restriction on The the transportation of dependents of military personnel, which has been in effect since September 1942 is now removed according to WD circular 287 paragraph 10. The lifting of this restriction is applicable under the provias modified 0, sions of AR to read that dependents of personnel on orders directing permanent change of station issued on or after November 1, 1945, will receive transportation for their dependents. Dependents of personnel on directing permanent ordersof station subsequent to change 1942 from the last 1, September permanent duty station to present permanent duty station will be granted transportation of dependents providing dependents have not yet joined military personnel in their move to their present station. This travel is authorized only in cases wherein dependents have not previously joined personnel upon whom they are dependent, at their present permanent station and where travel is commenced on or after November 1, 1945. For military reasons, the permanent change of station allowance of authorized baggage will not be shipped at government expense for personnel in the following three categories. (1) Personnel assigned to a unit which is under orders for inactivation. (2) Personnel of a unit being redeployed from one to another theater theater through the United States. (3) Personnel under orders for movement to centers for the purpose of being demobilized. Personnel not included in the above categories may, on and after November 1, 1945, have their authorized baggage shipped upon presentation of proper orders. one-mo- J 1 f t l SUITS . . .

Field Has Latest Devices For Fighting Crash Fires de fire-fighti- , ng The worst crash accident at Hill Field occurred on June 6, 1943, when an A-attack bomber crashed through the roof of Hangar 1. One worker was killed by flying debris and 29 others injured. High octane gasoline was spilled over most of the floor in the fabric unit, creating dangerous fire hazard. The entire fire department turned out and covered the floor and debris on it with foam and carbon tetrachloride. These precautions averted what might have been a disastrous fire. Static Electricity Fire April 20, 1943, was the date of another fire which the firemen who were on the field at that time will long remember. A 4 and a gasoline truck and trailer on the field caught fire while the plane was being refueled. Static electricity was given as the cause of the fire. The truck pulled the blazing trailer into an open space and then pulled away to safety after being unhooked. The plane was practically a total loss, although two engines and various minor accessories were salvaged. At that time the fire fighters had only water and fog to combat the flames. The conflagration even brought out the fact that there was a shortage of fog nozzles. Water and fog proved quite inadequate for the job and the firemen even used sand in their efforts to smother the flames. Added equipment was seen as a vital necessity at that time and action was immediately taken to secure additional equipment. Most of this had been going to the overseas theaters. A Cardox truck, which huge smothers flames with carbon dioxide, was obtained as well as other additional equipment. Today the Hill Field fire department is larger than that of Ogden, and in some respects, larger even than that of Salt Lake City. 20 B-2- 1946 Exemptions Should Be Filed In order to insure that thf correct amount of federal income tax is withheld from employes' wages during 1946, Capt. Frank M. Hatcher, chief, payroll section, advises employes that tax all changes in income with filed exemptions should be the payroll section on or before someone for whom you have claimed an exemption dies, or when you begin or stop supporting a dependent." emCapt. Hatcher reminds ployes that under the law a penalty of $500 may be imposed if the employe claims an exemption to which he is not entitled. CASUALTIES DROP The latest list of total cas,Jec. 1, 1945.

The fire department at the Ogden Air Technical Service Command is equipped with some of the very latest equipment to fight such fires, as well as to save the lives of fliers imprisoned in the burning wreckage. One such bit of equipment for use in saving lives is an asbestos suit. Firemen here have never found occasion to use any of these suits, but they have them readily available in case of emergency. The' 110 foam and carbon-dioxicrash truck has two of these among its 'equipment, two are on the 125 high pressure fog truck and six are with the service section in the operations hangar, according to Paul J. Ronnfeldt, assistant chief in charge of crash equipment. These suits are for emergency use only. Special clothing must be worn under them for most effectiveness, and even then the heat generated by high octane gas fires is so intense that the firemen must enter the fire and come right out again to keep from being badly burned themselves. Plexiglass Face Shields Face shields of plexiglass are also available for the firemen here. These are used as protection against the intense heat from fires. Also at hand is a riuge can opener which operates in the same way as the housewife's standby. This is used in rescues effecting emergency through the side of a plane, and cuts not only the thin aluminum skin, but the inside struts and braces as well. Two types of crash kits are handy for firemen fighting this type of fire. These contain axes, hack saws, bars, metal saws, knives, pipe cutters, pliers sledge hammers, bolt cutters and various other devices. jfurade a 1m Your Service Club Offers Wednesday Dance with orchestra.

Crit-to- n, acting adjutant general, that the intrinsic value of any piece of government property does not reduce the degree of responsibility for its protection from loss or damage. In the strict interpretation of regulations, loss or damage of an inexpensive item is as much a violation as loss or damage to the most costly equipment.
