More than 12,000 pairs of flying boots have had new heels "grafted" on them to make them new again, thanks to a molding process originated and developed by Fabio V. Hatton, left, and Harold W. Osborn of rubber repair branch. The two men are this week being given ASC awards of merit for the development of the new process. Employes Here Receive ASC Award of Merit Fabio V. Hatton and Harold W,f Osborn of rubber repair branch, maintenance, were recipients this week of the Air Service Command Award, of Merit, signed by Major Gen. Walter H. Frank, ASC com- manding general, and Brie. Gen, Morris Berman, OASC commander, for contributions to "winning the n, war." Hatton and Osborn collaborated on the design and innovation of a mold for repairing and rehabilitating flying boots, formerly discarded when they became worn at the heels. Over 12,000 pairs of flying boots have been repaired since the mold was first used a year ago, and approximately 75 pairs are daily being renovated for further use. The new mold makes it possible to "graft" new rubber heels on the boots and to vulcanize the new rubber into the pattern of the original boot. The process has been recognized and adopted throughout the Air Service Command, and molds have been made here from the original design for use in other r Only Male in WAC - ill F T.-- O. . r' ? ) -,,,, -ji- depots. A technical order is now being issued incorporating the new mold and its use. Friends for many years, Hatton and Osborn both saw service in World War I. Before coming to Hill Field 18 months ago they were competitors in the tire business in Salt Lake City. A letter from General Berman to the Merit Award winners states: "The efficient performance of one's duties is no more than is expected of him, but when employes go beyond the performance of their regular duties to develop improved and more efficient methods, it is most commendable and praiseworthy . . . Contributions of this nature to the war effort constitute the highest type of practical pa triotism, and it is with pride in your achievement, therefore, that we recognize your contribution to winning the war by conferring upon you the Air Service Command Award of Merit" . 1 . r vi ti (I w HAS THE WACS . . .
