When the flats were constructed originally, it was impossible to obtain pneumatic tires, so the trailers were mounted on hard rubber and steel wheels.

Call forth your best choco attach adjectives, them to a bit of loveliness and between you have something "the promised kiss of springtime" and the answer to a GI's prayer the Hillfield pin-u- p girl. The pin-u- p parade assumed new emphasis at Hill Field back in January when Lt. Madison Geddes, photographic officer officially publications and repro ductions officer, maintenance division photographed a comely Hill Field worker and named her first pin-u- p calendar girl of 1945. In quick succession, other calendar girls followed. There was a Valentine number all done up in lace and ribbons, an April bathing beauty, a May day who queen, a June charmer might have been plucked off the. pages of Esquire. Now in midsummer this pinup parade still continues and the pin-u- p girl, as unofficial morale builder of the command, is still going strong. They're All Workers She poses in what seem to be gardens and lounging rooms, on beaches and tennis courts in sort of a luxurious idleness which reminds you of the days when week ends at Miami and Santa Monica were routine things. She's always fresh and always lovely and never has the telltale three o'clock droop or that smear of grease across her cheek. But no matter what illusion of indolence she gives, she is never the languorous lady who has nothing more to do than drink a coke and acquire a sun tan. She's the girl from the maintenance assembly line, the supply warehouse, the post library, the motor pool, and until the moment when she doffs the levis for the negligee, she's working like a trooper.
