He indicated that the future looked bright for the base and emphasized that Hill AFB is a permanent installation with a permanent place in the Air Force cut out for it.

For the" first time that can be remembered, Hillfielders will get an extra pay check in 1953. They're getting 27 pay checks this year instead of the regular 26, officials said. Usually, with 52 weeks in a year, and pay checks coming every 2 weeks, there are only 26 pay checks issued to each employee a year. But this year the days fell in such a manner that there will be 27 pay checks issued in 1953. Some people figure that because of this they'll only get 25 pay checks in 1954. But "Tain't so," say officials "Everyone will get their regular 20 checks next year, too." This only happens about once in every 20 years so enjoy it, they said. |
