It should be a day of tribute to those who have It should be a day of solemn contemplagiven their lives tion of achievements of the Army Air Forceand of the cost of these achievements. It must also be a day of dedication to the tasks ahead. Recently, the two millionth ton of bombs was hurled by the Army Air Force against the enemy. Two million tons of bombs is equivalent to dropping one ton every minute ince the Japs attqcked Pearl Harbor. Considered in view of its effect on our enemies and of its importance in conquering the Nazis and carrying the war to the heart of Japan, this is a tremendous achievement . . . and reflects credit upon everyone in the Army Air Force. We of the Air Technical Service Command had a vital role And this role will continue. Of in this accomplishment. this we should be proud. But to accomplish this remarkable feat . . . thousands of men gave their lives. This is a high cost for even such results as have been obtained. There is only one way to cut this cost of human lives in the future . . . and that is by quicker victory. And to bring about quicker victory requires greater efin sending supfort by everyone. It requires a speed-u- p p in a speed-umaintenance overseas, plies operations in every phase of our mission. Air Technical Service Command can, by its efforts, help bring victory more rapidly. Thus it is that "Air Force Day" at Ogden Air Technical Service Command should be an opportunity for us to pledge ourselves anew to the mighty tasks ahead to do our best to speed victory . . . so that the cost will not be so high in human lives. This, to me, is the true spirit of "Air Force ... : ... ... ... Day." Colonel, Air Corps, Air Technical Service Command Commanding, Ogden Truck Co. Makes Trip Interesting By Pvt.

Over half of these members are already signed up and will soon be cruising about in their own plane, bought with their membership fees. Calling all basketball players (girls)! All girls interested in basketball come out and let's get organized now! There will be a meeting in the East Wing Recreation hall, Thursday, August 2nd. We have plenty of time to get in trim before the season sets in and we do not contemplate losing one game. All girls who are interested in making trips to Bushnell hospital to visit the convalescent soldiers, sign with the hostess in the Northeast" Recreation hall. These trips are made twice a month and everyone is welcome. The boys appreciate your chatting with them, and if you have talent they also appreciate entertainment. So, girls of the Northeast Hall, let's get together and cheer our boys a little. The lecture on the lawn outside the Northwest Recreation hall, given by Byrd Trego, Friday evening, was most informative and interesting. The topic was "The Great Reclamation Reservoirs of the Northwest," namely, American Falls, Shasta, Boulder, Friant and Grand Coulee Dams. Trego had visited these dams and had facts as to their cost and construction to tell his audience, one interesting fact being that Colling-woo- d, the of Admiral Collingwood, who took over when Lord Nelson fell at the battle of Trafalgar, was the engineer who looked over the prospective dam sites and said, "It can be done." To those who appreciate good opera, we invite you to assemble on the lawn outside the Northwest Recreation hall Friday, August 3rd, at 8 p.m., to hear records from Donna Noak's very fine and complete record folios.

Since its activation November Hill Field has been a potent unit in the vast mainte nance end supply organization which repairs and furnishes supplies for aircraft, flying and fighting throughout the world. The tremendous war machine cf this command has been greatly accelerated since victory in Europe in order that planes and supplies may continue 1o flow into the Pacific area where they are so desperately needed. . The bloodstream of the Air Technical Service Command is its supply system through which our fliers and planes ill over the world get the supplies they need. Bolts and bombers, bullets and bombs, fuel and lubricants, flying suits and jungle kits, radio sets and medical supplies all are made available by this command to our air force combat units wherever they are fighting.-Supply'Motto "To get the right thing to the right place at the right time," is the supply division's motto which represents a tall order. Air Technical Service Command han dles approximately 400,000 various items, ten times as many as you could possibly find in the catalog of the biggest mail order house in the country. The supply division at Hill Field keeps in stock 180,544 items of the entire air force total.
