Ships Receive Overhaul and Battle Equipment shiny White men who have lived much around Indians assure me that any camp Is safe around Indians If you miss anythingjook for some white tourist Most Indian men are versatile farm workers many of them having farms of their own I have had Indian workers on my own farm each fall for three years From pitching hay to topping sugar beets they are fully the equal of white men The women even better workers than the men at certain jobs Indian Brother Here 'may be a clue Last fall we loaned out our Indians to -a neighbor One of the squaws soon Asked by another neighbor what was the matter she replied no like to work for white man Me go back' and work for Robertson" i Traffic Lieut Darrell Shaw has announced a new policy announced a new policy today which is aimed at elimination of petting parties in the city cemetery Henceforth no cars will be allowed to park in the cemetery after dark There have been too many complaints of damaged headstones and graves Shaw declared Anti-Mosquito Program Slated A state-wide program to wipe out malaria-laden Anopheles mosquitos has been mapped out by Utah department of health leaders and officials of Ogden Weber county and the army Dr William McKay state health commissioner said a survey would be made in the Ogden area to determine the prevalence of mosquito breeding places Hie program will be extended from Weber county to Box Elder Davis and Utah counties Dr McKay said that funds for the program would be -obtained through a tax levy to be established in conformity with a state law which permits

be imported or pampered driven or cajoled in many in- stances now come our own American Indians a potential source of labor supply on the farm front has been completely overlooked There are a lot of them If if good workers fy and they require luxury cottages nor a shower bath ev- Robertson ery evening' -Strange as it may seem there are still a lot of people afraid of Indians Not afraid of losing their hair necessarily but afraid that Indians work or that they will steal Or that they are sullen Nothing could be farther from the truth No people have a greater sense of personal dignity Treat an Indian as an inferior and he will be sullen Put a watch over him and he may steal Assume that he is going to loaf and he will loaf Indians Honest If you hire an Indian and tell him to drive into your orchard set up his tent and help himself -to anything he needs you may be sure he will help himself to exactly what you tell him he may have and no more He will ask for what he wants and for nothing else If he borrows your stew pan it will be returned bright and SS Rawson 1c Long Pvt Long Pfc Cottle Pfc Herrick 3 Sd Lieut Oren Moffett recently spent a ten-day leave with his parents Mr and Mrs

The war department has been pretty hush-hush about them until recently Officially these clinics are modification centers unofficially they are induction centers but for airplanes instead of men based on the idea that the war-birds of the nation must be as fit for battle as are the men who fly them A string of these clinics has been set up across the nation One of them is in Kansas City operated for the material command by Transcontinental Western Air Inc Forty per cent of the clinic staff here are women pretty girls in grease-smeared overalls who swarm onto the planes as they taxi to a stop at the municipal airport The rest of the workers are skilled airline mechanics and technicians In Armed Forces Nearly all of the girls have husbands sweethearts or brothers in the armed forces They have deserted jobs in beauty salons in telephone offices and the like because they feel each day in the clinic will bring their loved Ones back that much sooner As soon as a plane reaches the hangar it is stripped to the "skin" like an army doctor examining an army inductee for physical flaws All the checking is done by civilians They work around the clock seven days a week As soon as one modified plane roars away toward a secret destination" another fresh from the assembly line takes its place 1 Before the plane leases the clinic it may look a lot different than when it came in from the home factory Here it will be altered depending on where and -how it is going into combat duty Changes at the clinic the war department figures can be done faster and with less expense than by re-tooling in factories every time a new improvement is de veloped That is only part of the job however Every piece of radio equipment is put through a laboratory engines tested guns manicured bomb release racks inspected and on down the line until every Inch of the craft from nose to tail is examined If the ship is heading for Arctic duty winterizing equipment is added Perhaps to become a torpedo bomber then the bomb bay must be altered to accommodate tin fish When the craft reaches the end of the clinic line it goes outside for a copipass check To obtain correct magnetic readings on a navigation compass allowances must be made for the steel in a plane In "swinging a the inspector sights a landmark while the plane is towed merry-go-round fashion by a tractor From the landmark he is able to make necessary changes in the compass reading Then the recruit plane usually it has tried its wings only 10 or 12 hours since leaving the home plant is turned over to a veteran pilot For Forty-five Minutes For 45 minutes to an hour he puts the ship through a shakedown flight He gives It a dose of everything it is likely to face in combat duty and more He checks the engine operation its flying char acteristics its radio equipment anc its Instruments If satisfied with its perform ance he steps out of the cockpit and a ferry pilot' gets in Into the plane beside him climbs another man He is an army aircraf mechanic That aircraft mechanic never leaves the plane from the time it wings from its home factory until It goes into actual combat duty and even then he nursemaids it Ids baby He has gone over every part of it with the clinic crew stay with her unti the end a Truman part of that plane Sd Lieut Moffett (Linlt-Tilfany) Ensign Paul Pvt Parker Rt So Chatfield recent

Herrick entered the ser vice in September 1941 and took his trailing at Camp Roberts Calif and Tacoma Wash He has been in Australia about a year before being transferred to New Guinea The gist of his letter is as follows: am writing this letter from New Guinea The natives have been very useful to us here the native women pack heavy loads on their backs and the men walk behind with very little It seems that the men like the women to do all the work "Their homes are made of bamboo and although they have grass roofs they do not leak They never use any nails or wire but use vines to hold their homes together Their sleeping quarters are the bare floor "Their hair is bushy and they wear hand-made bamboo combs in it The women wear a long piece of cloth for a skirt but the men wear only a lion cloth They al" go barefooted "Some of the natives can speak pretty good English because they used to have Australian missionaries there to teach them They also established schools for the natives "I think there Is such thing as winter here They have no snow but it rains all the time The seasons seem to make much difference it seems all the same to Pvt Owen Baird son of Mrs Joseph Baird of 3341
