We are so far removed from the front lines, and the reports from there are so satisfactory, that we do not keep imfirmly in mind the fact that everything we do is portant . . . and must be carried out with thoroughness, efficiency and promptness. Time is still one of the most important elements in and bitter conflict to a tribringing this world-wid- e deumphant close. Every little cog must mesh, every tail of AAF planning must be meticulously followed through, there cannot be and must not be a moment lost in helping to land the knockout punch on our groggy foes. Our supervision and departmental direction should be keyed to the highest possible tempo. There should be no alibis, no excuses for doing a careless job, or for permitting the slightest delay in the functioning of our various divisions and branches. This command is bending every effort to gain greater operating economy, both in money and manpower, and to attain maximum speed .in delivery of supplies and in making repairs on our fighting aircraft and the necessary specialized equipment to sustain them in combat. Now that the hour of destiny may be close at hand now that all the work we as a nation have done to prepare the way to victory is beginning to show tremendous results . . now that we and our allies are getting set to "cash in" on our industrial. might and the performance of our combat troops in the field, on the seas and in the air . . NOW is the time to establish and maintain new high standards of diligence in carrying out the manifold duties entrusted to you and me at the Ogden Air Technical Service Command. Again, remember, irrespective of our assignments, everything we do is important! ...

Prior to coming here as chief of the he property accounting branch, served for six years at the Middle-tow- n depot. During the time he has been at OATSC, he has had three promotions: from chief of the property accounting branch to assistant chief clerk to chief of supply personnel to chief supervisor of the area activities section. His early work on the field, when he helped organize supply, was done in the old temporary buildings formerly located near the end of the present north-sout- h runway. First Job in Supply On July 17, 1935, Taylor accepted work in the Middletown depot as under storekeeper in the local issue unit. He was advanced to a property and supply clerk in the property and accounting branch in February, 1936. He gradually pro gressed from this until he held the position of chief of the property accounting unit handling airervfcesj craft spares. He left this position , to come to Hill field. Prior to entering government service, he worked for five years as a brakeman on the Pennsylvania railroad from August of 1922 to October 1927. In entering this occupation, he was following in the footsteps of his father, who lost his life in a railroad accident while serving as a brakeman. Worked With A. T. and T.
