Plans were all completed and the Guard units 118th Dump Truck Co. agreed to aid in the project. After considerable prob-, ing a definite date was finally , set for April 28 as the zero hour -for the grand-' event. ' Plans were'' laid for twenty Guard trucks to swing into the big haul and get the pier built. - As the zero hour neared War- , rant Officer Dahl argued that five trucks would do the best Job and the committee officers insisted on the twenty. - r , The committee finally appealed appeal-ed to T Major General . Rich through State Representative . Orville Gunther ' . and orders came out Friday for the local officers to use twenty trucks on the project. What do you think the final outcome was? 5 The twenty trucks were , put on the Job all right and they actually delivered sixty odd loads of material at the harbor from the. steel plant, Just six miles away. It took from eight o'clock In the morning until eleven o'clock for the first load to reach the project. Then the entire con- vqy. j?a frozen for tt v't to drive to the armory for dinner and the work ended at 3: S3 pa'. Twenty trucks, : a', erew. of twenty-two officers and men delivered some two and one-half trips per truck on a project of this type. . The steel company loaded the trucks and all the men had to do was drive back and forth- and dump the slag on the end. of the pier." . v ' It appears that for some reason, rea-son, yet undetermined, a deliberate delib-erate stall was pulled to defeat the project completely. ; A check of the matter By ihe writer found that Warrant Officer Of-ficer Dahl had : a dozen good excuses why, the project was & failure. - . .
