Show i Workers Needed At Hill Field, Stafford Says "If you can't fly 'em, you can fix 'em" was part of a message Captain Robert 0. Stafford gave to South high seniors last Wednesday when he, Private Claude Breeze, and Fred Schwendiman, of the civil civ-il service told of Hill Field's urgent ur-gent need for workers. "It's the civilian workers who actually ac-tually run the field, and we've got to get more of them," he said. Hill Field's main business is to repair airplanes, and they said that they were in urgent need of mec-anics, mec-anics, technical workers, draftsmen, drafts-men, clerks and stenographers. In order to become mechanics, graduating seniors would first be given civil service examinations, and then if found eligible, they would be sent to school either at the A. C. at Logan, Weber college in Ogden, or at Hill Field. In school they would learn some special branch of repair, such as airplane repair, instrument repair, and machine ma-chine or wood working shops. Pay during the training is $120 a month. After three months of training they will be ti'ansferred to the department they specialize in. All girls over 16, and all boys over 16 and under 17 are eligible. Miss Winifred Dyer, assistant principal of South, enumerated the advantages of working at Hill Field as compared to working at a ten cent store. She pointed out that besides earning more money girls would be helping their country more repairing airplane instruments instru-ments rather than selling flowers, or knick-nacks to wear on one's lapel. |
