Takeit N. Dislikit, chief of the You - Ain't - Treatin' - Me Right branch, Hill Field. A Hillfielder reporter was re ferred to Dr. Dislikeit for a much- needed punching of his weeping ticket, and was pleasantly amazed at the doctor's statement. Beware of the man who never gripes , warned isthe doctor. "Hecon-is the ma t who smug and tent, and who will never get the work done to win the war. acts "A normal case of gripe-lti- s like a shot' in the arm, and its value is impossible to estimate. Nothing important has ever been accomplished without at least one bellow of mistreatment either by the elements, competition, or some other handicap." Dr. Dislikeit s statement was so interesting that we decided to pass it on to a representative group of GIs and their squadron officers. We asked them: "Do you think, from a GI stand point, that griping is important?" Here are their answers: First Sgt. Norman Parker of the 99th "It wouldn't exactly be the Army if there wasn't a lot of griping, and it helps to keep up morale because it gives the boys something to talk about". Opl. C. O. White of the 308th "In some ways yes. In some ways no. If you're not getting the break you think you should have, then gripe about it. If everything -- '' ,. rlbi nii j - Genevieve C Neel It took a trip overseas to con vince one Cpl.

Hyde spent a profitable two months in branch and seven last fall, learning the ins and outs of the inspection procedure and then in October was transferred and wound up eventually in England. Recently Mrs. Genevieve C. Neel, an inspector who helped train him, received a letter from somewhere in England signed Cpl. Jack Hyde Part of the letter follows: "With your permission, l wouia line to thank each and everyone of you, in the inspection department, for the wonderful work that you have been turning out. I didn t realize how complete, and important, your section was, until I came over here and helped set up an inspection unit The material coming from Hill Field is so complete in every detail, that we find real pleasure in inspecting it and sending it to Airs, one-ha- At Craft Class Ses sion and Exhibit - , -n- - classes.

Rudy Gerl, 482nd "Sure, it's important it's the way a soldier makes himself known. But you have to learn to gripe to the right person, not to everybody in general." Capt Peter Biesiot, C. O. of the 99th "I know from my own experience I'd be better off if I never had done any griping." Capt. Fred Sandoval "As C. Ot of the 482nd, I would rather not talk. I refer you to my adjutant, Capt. Knobel." Capt Bentley Knobel, 482nd ad"When soldiers ':pe, it jutant us an indirect knowledge of gives what's going on. If a soldier doesn't gripe, then you know there's something wrong." A Pvt. Klein (who refused to identify himself further) and five other soldiers in the 482nd orderly room were questioned within three1 minutes after Capt Knobel expressed his opinion. Said the six soldiers: "We can't answer that because none of us have a gripe to make". So there's the green light on griping, fellows. Start singin' the blues when you're put on latrine duty.
