To Base Chapel, ttiese youngsters and their teachers gather for first Sunday school classes since the building was made ready for use.

All of this because many people who are able cannot be influenced to come to Hill Field and provide vital help in reconditioning bombers which may save the very lives of their sons, brothers and husbands. Even in these critical times many of us have not shaken off our irresponsible willingness to "let George do it." Shortly before his recent departure for the south Pacific theatre, Brig. Gen. Morris Berman, commanding general of the OASC, revealed that 1000 additional workers must be secured to prevent a breakdown on the "home front." Col. Manning E. Tillery, maintenance division chief and acting commander during Gen. Berman's absence, has gone even farther. Col. Tillery declared today that unless needed workers are procured within 30 days our maintenance and supply schedules in support of the army air forces, already retarded, may be crippled. "Every effort is being made to peed our production - overhaul schedules," Col. Tillery said. "Scores short-cu- ts g have been of devised and we top all other ASC control depots in the efficient use of manpower. Hovever, a man can only do so much, and our people are working to the maximum of their ability. "Our rehabilitation and .plane modification program makes tremendous demands in time. Each 6000 ship s. requires from 4500 to The only way we can reduce that figure is to disregard many incidental repairs, adjustments and replacements that we now make. To do this would compromise the work standard we have established and we do not intend to hazard or trade the lives of the boys who fly those ships for any phoney production records," declared Col. Tillery, himself a pilot with thousands of hours aloft and a stickler for efficiency. By virtue of an inescapable the maintenance di vision is only as efficient as its supply, on which it must rely for the innumerable parts and materials put into reconditioned planes. The supply division is headed by Col. Paul W. Wolf. team For that reason close-kn- it work has been developed between the divisions with a resultant max! mum of and a mini mum of time-los- s through lack of time-savin- man-hour- er, x coordination. While maintenance's role is more glamorous and ro- mantic, the comparative drab and routine of supply are vital: Providing everything from flying suits and life rafts to fine flight instruments and anvils, supply's responsibilities reach from Hill Field to New Guinea and Cassino. If they should fail to meet "dead-lineorders for plane parts from these fronts, flight missions might be interrupted and all action halted. Their needs list storekeepers, inventory workers, clerks, checkers, typists, inspectors, truck drivers and laborers. More than 175,000 individual items many of them critical may be found on their shelves and bins. This exceeds items carried by even the larges't mail order establishments. Supply needs help in its ex panded publications distribution unit another voluminous undertaking. More than 40,000 different military forms and regulations aggregating in excess of 700,000 pieces are handled each month for military installations in the nine-staarea blanketed by the Ogden Air Service Command. Others will find their way into re the new specialized cently activated within the supply division. Of tremendous import ance, it is being speedily organized for immediate operation of exact tasks in ing and two large warehouses. Colonel Wolf stated that 200 employees would be needed immediately for this ac tivity, about a total of 350 later. Hill Field is seeking workers for practically every type of activity on the field. Sheet metal workers are particularly needed to serve in metal repair on the 4 line where the ships are reconditioned from nose to tail. In the labyrinth that is the engine repair building, mechanics are as busy as beavers. Here, where complicated power units for the sky warriors are overhauled, aircraft engine mechanics and mechanic helpers personnel are constantly in demand. Hundreds of hours are spent on each engine which is completely disassembled, worn parts replaced and adjustments made before it again resumes its role as a plane- d" widely-separat- ed te sub-dep- war-importa- ot nt B-2- four-engin- ed tool-in-ha- pulling device. it Reassembled, spends four hours of continuous running on the test block in final examination.

It will cost approximately $75,000. Here the crated engine awaits installation or shipment overseas. Other sections of maintenance want tire and tube repairmen, heat treaters, inspectors, leather and canvas workers. In experienced persons will be given the benefit of training or post schools instruction, both having been eminently successful in. providing qualified workers quickly. Capt. Stafford pointed out that inexperienced persons have an unequalled opportunity to learn a skill which should prove invaluable to them in securing attractive positions in post-waviation. Many who came here a few months ago as mechanic learners or clerks are now supervisors or foremen with relative increase in pay. Other sections too numerous to mention, but equally important, need helping hands and Capt Stafford urges that men and women 18 years or older and even whole families immediately respond through the U. S. Employment service, the Civil Service Commis sion or directly to Hill Field. Winners will be announced shortly after the termination of the contest which is slated to run for the next 30 days.

Mallory said today, as he urged each Hill Fielder to invest ten per cent of his or her pay in war bonds. He also reminded employes who have had recent pay raises that unless their bond deductions are increased in proportion, Hill Field's "ten per cent in bonds" will lag. The cash 'bond sales drive will continue to be active the remainder of this week, and it is expected that pay checks issued this week will be used to purchase an add! tional $15,000 or $20,000 in bonds, Lieut.
