And the Westinghouse Research Laboratories which developed the Westinghouse engineers who perfected the men and women of Westinghouse who make it in great proud as Punch Westinghouse Electric Manufacturing Company Pittsburgh Pennsylvania WHEN THE GERMAN RADIO paid glowing tribute to the General Sherman once it was telling the truth You see tank battles used to be stop-and-go affairs because a tank's heavy cannon could be aimed accurately only when the tank was at a complete standstill That was every stop naturally made the tank a juicy target for the enemy Then the Army Ordnance Department called on American industry for the solution of this problem So the men of Westinghouse went into a huddle And out of it came what has been called one of the greatest military developments of this tank gun stabilizer that permits incredibly accurate fire while the tank is charging ahead aquil speed over rough ground! No wonder the Germans thought well of the General Sherman And no wonder they considered its gun stabilizer its outstanding feature For this one device has revolutionized the whole combat technique of tank fighting! ft iti USO Activities Slated Today 0 activities in Salt Lake City Tuesday will include: 57 South State home night informal dancing 8:30 201 East First South Spanish class for officers 7 sketch group with Mrs Patricia Greene and dancing with orchestra in ballroom 8:30 127 South State broadcast by Kearns orchestra 9 rri and roller skating at Woolley's Roller rink 460 South State street 1 1 '14NN 1 r--- 1 ro tl)1 i I 1 Li USO Activities I Slated Today' I 4-r i I day Lake I 4-kalt nons OF SpUtj 57 South State It allpt a-letter home night informal dancing 8:30 201 East First South street r7 2 AP Spanish class for officers 7 I 4 or 4S 4elb sketch group with Mrs 0--" 0 1 0 0 100 1 Patricia Greene and dancing zP' to 4 toe lit NO with orchestra in ballroom 8:30 1114 I pm CANADA DRY 1'27 South State street---11adin broadcast by Kearns orchestra 9 rri and roller skating at Woolley's Roller rink 460 South 6k State street a Ateov--4-w-mr--mao gw 4 Ld PLANTS IN 25 CITIES -71(12W I PLANTS IN 25 CITIES tirlb-71 Ci 4i1 OFFICES EVERYWHERE (r0 OFFICES.
