Since there's no better way of reviewing the past than to scan tne pages oi newspapers, let s iook into the 1952 file of "Hill Top Times," the base newspaper. Size of headlines give a clue to the most important events during the year. Decentralization Important Decentralization of many activi ties from headquarters, Air Materiel Command, to this installation was perhaps the most significant event or series of events during 1952. First came certain Supply activities and later certain Mainte nance activities. Combination of the President's Management Improvementr Pro gram and the Cost Reduction Pro gram into a single program (MICRP) under monitorship of the Comptroller's office was another significant occurance. Many economies in the use of Air Fox-cdollars at this base were noted during 1952 through and more are in the offing. Work was begun on the long- awaited Wherry Housing project on the southeast corner of the base proper. The project will consist of 250 airmen and 10O officer units. Each unit will contain two or three e MI-CR- bedrooms. - r muJ 9vW ' -- ". i ' 7!&ir "TV ,.,. A Vudiences through-ShaPart of its S Kot0Ur the Lh-6- " d.ue down-to-ear- gfEfi& ? urged.

Ihe miniature models proved to be the answer. "The rapidly changing require ments of operations in the hangars and maintenance shops at Hill Air Force Base necessitate many lay out chancres in the shops." he said, models a "With these true-scal- e blue-priof a shop can be made in half the time it would require a draftsman to accomplish the same job. Changes in the plan can be made in a matter of minutes and does not require a whole new blue' nrint drawing." At the present time over 750,000 square feet of shop space has been set un with these models.

The process, called "visual planning" ? fast taking the place of the old- fashioned way of planning, that of making a blueprint. The story of how the Air Force is saving money with the miniature shop models began about a year and a half ago at Hill Air Force Base, according to Second Lt. Robert E.
