A year ago it required nearly two months for a bomber to negotiate the line; now it takes approximately half that time. Most of the ships repaired here are destined for action in the South Pacific area, where the offensive against the Japs is gathering momentum each day. Maintenance officials said that to discharge its enormous responsibility to U. S. airmen throughout the world the line must receive the added impetus of increased efficiency from each worker.

The theme seemed to be that the living should not forget what veterans of all wars have sacrificed, and that not only Memorial day, but all days of the present and future should be lived in consciousness of that sacrifice and a determination on the part of civilians to do their part as the men in the service are doing theirs.

War bond officers have been appointed in each group, Lt. Murphy said. Those appointed are: Lt. Mary D. Ash, supply; Lt. John F. Walsh, maintenance; Capt. law-renD. Greenawald. army air base, and Major Robert D. Critten, OASC headquarters. At present 92.79 per cent of Hill Field's workers are participating in the payroll reservation plan for overall deduction from gross salaries of 10.127 per cent, Lt. Murphy said. Each employe will be expected to increase his present deduction to at least 12 per cent of his gross pay, including overtime. .Minutemen have been appointed in each department. They will act as sales promotion agents and will be enabled to prepare the initial form required for cash purchases.
