FISHER bought a thousand dollar bond the other day then thrust her hands in her jeans down on the engine repair assembly line and asserted her belief in fables, fairy tales, and all for her things possible and impossible. It is no wonder, though,four-lea and hand one a in if as she had reads genie story clover in the other. Twice she's gyped fate out of what it had in store for her the first time a few months ago when she made an amazing recovery from injuries suffered in an automobile accident when the doctors shook their heads; the next time when, digging herself through mountainous hospital expense, she suddenly found herself heir to a whole $15,000 left her by a prosperous uncle. The bulk of the money will go into war bonds, for she's bent upon sending son, Jack, through medical school and taking a trip around the world. , CHAFS AND SPURS ELLEN LAWRENCE, who played with chaps and spurs instead oi aoiis DacK in ner Kinaergancu days, fastened her black, black eyes on prospective Todeos this week and polished her riding boots in anticipation. Although she's almost been trampled un der hoof many and many a time, she still likes a bucking bronc more than ice cream sodas or banana splits. A rodeo fan and rodeo star at twelve, she has hat all flourished her over Texas and Arkansas and just finished an assignment in the Ogden rodeo. Back home in Shreveport, she has three horses of her own "Southern Star" "Dan," and "Pepper." Needless to say after work in Ellen Lawrence warehouse nine, she spend all her spare time riding. MIKE MAGIC. MARVIN BROWN, sporting a new cane and a whole fresh supply of good spirits, is sendair ing his voice over the tus-sel waves once again after a with a game leg in the base hospital. Best known to radio fans for his chatty little talks over "Melodic Flight," he has the voice of the common man the man you might call your neighbor or strike up a conversation with over the coffee cups. His formula for success: a contagious good humor' and a gift of gab. He is at the height of his glory when he can indulge st camain a little raderie by harmonizing with it Marvin Brown MSgt.

COX looking as bland and boyish as if he had gazed at nothing more formidable during the last two years than Satur day night movies or college exams, is back at his old job in instrument repair after seven months in Italy. The tales he tells though, crack this school-bo- y myth in two seconds flat. In the European theater as an aerial gunner, he was twice shot down by flak (once forced to bail out) and flew on fifty missions; for which he received the Distinguished Flying Cross and Air Medal with three oak leaf clusters, a European theater ribbon with four battle stars and a presidential unit citation with two clusters. He admits it was something of a patriotic thrill, right in the midst of the fray, to use equipment repaired at Hill Field some from his own shop. He first entered the service a Adrian E.

One of the reasons is this country's capacity and ingenuity for organizing large operations in minute detail. "S 1 fpi Xr fjp At OATSC, for instance, the placement advisory unit is a highly important organizational function which helps other departments on the. field to operate more smoothly and efficient- y ft ly. The chief functions of the placement program are full utilization of all available manpower and the assignment of employes in light of their skills, knowledge and general abilities. According to directives from AAF headquarters, the services of the placement advisory unit are available to employes and supervisors in much the same manner as the services of the relations deDartment. The aim of the program is to get each employe placed in that job where he can best utilize his highest capacities and abilities for the total good of the installation. The program is given impetus by a system of internal recruitment to fill higher grade positions by reassigning persons within the installation.
