This installation is the property of the people of the United States; it is making a vital contribuion to the total war effort of our nation. "It is hoped that you enjoy your visit here and depart with a feeling that you share in the success of this great establishment. ; "Morris Berman, . "Brigadier General, U. S. A., . . "Commanding." Hill Field and You (An Editorial) In the short space of three years since Hill Field was activated as an air depot, it has become a major military and industrial landmark on the Utah scene. The field is a vital part of the lives not of only of the many people who work here but of the many other people who live in the area. For Hill Field now represents an investment of over $50,000,000, and this investment will not sink back into the sands of the valley when ' ' the War is over. While the editors of this paper cannot presume to . be prophets, it seems likely that the United States will " maintain a large and powerful military air force after the war, and it is certain that we will have a rapidly expanding commercial aviation. And Hill Field will be here, in the Salt Lake valley, to serve either, or both. Thus the people of this community will have a continuing interest in Hill Field after the war. And Hill . Field, in turn, will have a continuing interest in the community, for it will have trained tens of thousands of civilian workers, and this training represents an in- terest in human knowledge and skill an investment over and above that in buildings, land and equipment, and one not so easily measured in dollars and cents. This community can take pride in its association with Hill Field first of all for patriotic reasons; As head-- " ' quarters of the Ogden Air Service Command, this depot is a potent unit in the vast maintenance and supply organization that keeps our airplanes flying and fighting the world over. But, this patriotic motive is something like that involved in buying bonds it not only helps the nation at war but returns a later benefit to the individual. The training that thousands of workers have received here will be of great value to them in the post-wworld, if they wish to retain places in the giant industry' that aviation will become. This is especially true of OASC's "upgrade" training, which enables workers to reach increasing levels of skill, and skilled workers to become foremen, supervisors and managers. Now let's admit frankly that this post certainly" no paradise in the past is no Utopia even now. We know that "griping" has been prevalent about various inconveniences, annoyances, delays and confusion. A lot of this could be fairly described as the unavoidable jerks, jars and grindings of . a nation frantically building a huge war machine as fast as possible. 'And another lot is due to the fact that human nature and human wisdom and therefore human management is not perfect. ' On the other side of the picture, we wonder if all our workers know how tirelessly and selflessly the management of Hill Field military and civilians alike-h- ave striven to create the utmost possible improvement in the Hill Field environment? Some of his unceasing effor can be glimpsed frota the articles elsewhere in these pages. It is something to think about. ; -- . , T1 I' . ar , r. -- . of-2- fv ,. ' .
