Goal (FC Surpassed $218,056 Total With 30th birthday tomorrow but there will be no fanfare. Maj. Gen. Richard M. Hoban, Ogden Air Materiel Area commander, said that no special observances are planned on the date as the base goes about its important business of the nation's defense. Ground-breakinfor the giant Utah air base took place on Jan. 12, 1940. The birthday is observed on Nov. 7 because 30 years ago on that date, Col. Morris Berman assumed command of what was then the Ogden Air Depot. Some 25 northern Utah officials, mostly from Ogden, gathered on that stormy day in January, 1940, to launch the giant installation that now encompasses 7,000 acres. Many of the group are deceased. Among those who are still living is Sam Powell, a practicing attorney in his seventies. At the time, Mr. Powell was president of the Ogden Chamber of Commerce. "It was a cold, blustery day," said Mr. Powell. "We all were out there to see the culmination of our efforts that had gone on for a number of years previously." On Oct. 6, 1936, the Ogden Chamber of Commerce and the Weber Club deeded 160 acres of land in Davis County to the government . They held options on 4.265.42 acres until the Government could begin acquisition. The Chamber eventually deeded 386.17 acres to the Government for siting the base. if v celebrate its TV rnr-nrr- will show that We betbought the land somewhere has climbed over the $50 and $100 an acre," Mr. top of its assigned dollar goal in Ihe- ween said.
