The audience itself provided the steller actors, as members were called up to do their stuff. Those asked to entertain did a grand job, and accepted everything in good nature. Everybody Gets Prizes An example of the spirit with which things were done is Leona Millhollin of Wyoming, who works in the fine instrument repair shop. Called the best dressed woman on the field, she stands 38 inches tall. When asked why she came to Hill Field she replied she came to meet new friends, for new adventure. and to have a lot of fun while beating the axis. Her prizes were chewing gum and candies. The song leader, Happy Hopkins, responded to the call dressed as Chief Minnesota. He came up clad in buckskin, 'beads and bonnet, and made a patriotic speech painting Hill Field's role in the fight against the ' powers of darkness." - .

Run on Assembly Line Basis By PRIVATE SYLVESTER ADESSA What strikes you first upon entering the offices of the purchasing and contracting section of the supply division is the amazing smoothness and efficiency of the organization, the ease and aplomb with which things are done, A A further look into the situation-f- and you realize that here, applied to office routine, is the industrial assembly line technique, adopted to administrative work, the edges rounded, the rough spots ironed out and working so well that it takes you some time to become aware that this is after all the well known assembly line. But a technique is only a tech nique, a piece of mechanics so to speak, and as on assembly lines everywhere one essential ingredient must exist to make the technique work. . That ingredient is the state of the relaemploye relationships tionship of employe to employer, the. relationships between employes. And in the office of purchasing and contracting, affectionally called "P & C" by the workers there, the art of employe relationships has been brought to a high level of development.

This office has no problem of absenteeism. Remember Service Men Those who leave to join the armed forces are not forgotten.

Another unique project is a news sheet? strictly for workers in the P & C office, which is due to be out by the first of June. A friendly introductory chat with Mr. Millar, who likes to know his staff personally, tops off the orien tation, and the new employe goes to work with a vengeance. It is not difficult to see why Ine P & C section has the excellent reputation on the field that it has. Credit Union Is Launched a tough time getting him to admit is Jaek M. Millar.
