entire gun crew, its ammunition, and
tow a light or medium artillery
piece.
An example of the wide variety of
Army needs being filled by General
Motors Trucks is the 1 1-2 to 3-ton
model equipped with an air compress
sor unit and attachments. This is a
four-wheel drive model, of Cab-Ov-
er-Engine design, equipped with a
two-stage air compressor capable of
delivering 105 cubic feet of free air
per minute. Designed primarily for
use by the Corps of Engineers, the
compressor is operated from a sep
arate industrial-type engine mounted
on the sturdy truck.
Another less-familiar but highly
unitarian GMC being built for the
Army today is four-wheel, 1-2 to
3-ton Cab Over Engine type with an
Ordance small arms repair body.
With this unit, gun repair crews can
proceed at a high speed right into
the field of battle to repair light wea-
pons and machinery.
Then there is the 1 1-2 ton, four
wheel truck with radio body, used
largely by the Signal Corps, and
equipped with both sending and re-
ceiving apparatus. And the 2 1-2
ton, six by six tank truck, of $50
gallon capacity, for supplying fuel to
convoy of motor vehicles while on
the move. Also 1 1-2 to 3-ton, four
wheel unit, fitted with an unusual
looking earth-boring machine for the
rapid drilling of ground holes for
mine laying.
AS if to exemplify the real mean
ing of an entirely motorized Army,
General Motors Truck even supplies
the Army with a stock rack body
truck for hauling horse cavalry,
which even today finds it's important
place with a fighting force. GMC
fills vital need of anti-craft units
of the Coast Artillery with 2 1-2
ton, six-wheel unit flour driving
wheels) for transporting giant search
lights. This unit has a five-man
cabin order to carry properly the
entire searchlight crew. In action
these trucks travel in pairs, one car
lrying the searchlight and other es-
sential paraphernalia, the other trans
porting the electrical generating
equipment.
While all of these units are now
more or less standard" equipment
for the Army, there are others adapt
ed to a wide variety of uses.
Today's soldier uses GMC's to trans
port mobile kitchens which cook while
on the move, to tow mobile army re-
cruiting stations, to haul equipment,
food and supplies-in short, to do
all of the multifarious tasks perform

MOTOR TRUCKS
IMPORTANT IN
WAR MATERIALS

Despite the wide publicity given to
mechanical army divisions in the Eu-
ropean War and in the current nation
al defense program, few people rea-
lie the Importance of the part be-
ing played in a motorized army by
motor trucks themselves.
The wide diversity of military
tasks being performed by today's mot
or trucks is we'll portrayed by cur
rent activities in the Pontiac, Mich,
plant of General Motors Truck and
Coach.
Here, in the plant of the worlds
largest exclusive manufacturer of
commercial vehicles, thousands of
olive-drab colored military vehicles
of all types and descriptions are roll
ing off the assembly lines-both for
the Army of the United States and
for export.
These ultra-modern defense units
being produced by General Motors
Truck perform thousands of impor-
tant tasks in the military world
just as commercial trucks play a
necessary part in the civilian life of
every individual. They also serve as
concrete examples of the part being
played by the automotive industry in
providing this country with an army
properly equipped to move swiftly
over rough terrain as we'll as on paw
ed highways.
Foremost and best-known among
these GMC Army vehicles is the unit
commonly known to Army men as
the 1.-TWO and half, six by SIX" This
truck, as the term implies is a 2 1-2
ton, six-wheel drive cargo-body
truck, which is used for transporting
troops or supplies.
This unit is manufactured with
both a 145-inch wheelbase and 1914
inch wheelbase, either with or with
out powerful winch attached at
front. The winch, powered by the
truck engine, is used for shaking"
either the parent vehicle or other We
hicles from bitches or mudholes-an
invaluable aid to an army moving
over rough and unfamiliar territory.
This territory is standard" as a
prime mover for the Army's new 105
nm. howitzer, and all such trucks
constructed for artillery use are
equipped with winches.
The model is equipped with two
rear driving axles, mounted in tan
dem, and front driving axle which
may be disconnected by the driver
when desired The steel cargo body
is provided with troop seats which
may be folded to convert the vehicle
into supply-hauling unit in mat
ter of minutes.
One Of these trucks can carry

ed by commercial trucks as we'll as
many new jobs peculiar to army life.
The General Motors Truck plant is
providing units for virtually every
government department, from the
forestry service to the coast guard.
Not all these vehicles are of a mill
tary character, of course, but all play
an important part in the general de-
Tense program.
Many of the basic models, origin
ally designed for the Army of the
United States, also are released to
GMC truck dealers as standard mod
els in the GMC truck line. Some are
sold to state and county highway de-
partments for use in snow removal
road building and maintenance. They
also are used by contractors and fol
logging and oil field work-all OF
which they are ideally suited to han.
die.

TALBOT COUNTY DESIRES
LIQUOR BOARD DISMISSED

A delegation appeared before the
Talbot county commissioners las
week demanding some information
concerning the appointment of the
Talbot County Liquor Board and re-
questing that the Commissioners use
their influence in having the present
law repealed instead of the proposed
amendments now before the legisla.
ture.
The delegation pointed out to the
Commissioners that the people arr
complaining each week about theil
tax bill, and here was chance fol
them to get behind the movement
which in the end would slice off a.
bout $1,000 a year, the present cost
of the Liquor Board. In the event
the proposed amendments are passed
this will add $3.50 additional cost a.
long with the present sum.
The delegation stated that they
represented a group of prominent cit
zens controlling or representing about
5000 voters, and they have as their
goal the saving to the taxpayers OF
all money possible. They maintain.
ed that the County Commissioners
were the ones to do the work of the
Talbot County Liquor Board and
when asked if they would assume
these responsibilities the reply was
that they would without any addition
al cost whatever. The delegation
said they could have the work done
without any cost to the county if the
Commissioners did not care to assume
the responsibility.
Objection was made to the fact that
neither the State Central Committee
nor the County Commissioners had a
hand in selecting the present board,
and the delegation further objected
to giving officials not elected by the
voters the authority the present hq-
uor board has.
Many pertinent questions were fir
ed at the Commissioners, who ans
wered them to the satisfaction of the
delegation. It is said several of Tall
