ORDNANCE
 BLOCK BUSTER

Most people don't think about Ordnance until they want some thing. We'll, that's what the Ord nance is for. We deliver that need ed ammunition and maintain vehi- cles and guns necessary to carry on the war to a successful conclu- sion and the Axis disillusion
 An Ordnanceman is usually jack of all trades. Knowledge of guns, ammunition and cars is down his alley. Even the most ardent desk worker becomes a thrower of dy- namite in an emergency. We're the men behind the men behind the gun. Yet we can use lead thrower, too. The chaplain who coined Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition" gave a good exam pie of an Ordnanceman.
 You'll hear of the Ordnance in more ways than one, if you haven't heard already. They are one of the best drilled outfits on the Base and have competent leadership to thank for this and general efficiency.
 Why boggle over the obvious? We may not blow bugles like the band but we have things that make more noise in revendment No. X-O.
 Now for the personal touch: Did you ever wonder why so much wash was hanging on the lines by the Ordnance barracks. We'll, the boys fell heir to an electric washer. No, there is no laundry service offered. Just a line-Just a line. Would someone like to know the name of the tough room orderly we have. Ask some of the boys if they know Joe around the first of the month. Some of the girls in the PIX are un- happy since the rumor got around that Sgt. Steer is married. Don't worry girls, there are more Ord nancemen Time out to adjust the carburetor and gas up; so, un- til next time, look for the red and gold.

Unhappy occupants of the Dis

watched the mercury 60 up again
today as seasonal hot weather re-
turned to Washington after a week

Air-conditioning units in both
buildings are out of order and it is
just as warm in these buildings as
elsewhere. The Municipal Building
system has been out of order for
five days, but Building Superintend-

repairs to be made in "a couple of
days."
One heat prostration was reported
last night when Estel Robertson, COL

.0n-the-Job FEEDING
Urged for Hard | labor
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
On-the- job feeding was advanced
by DR.. Robert S. Goodhart of the
Food Distribution Administration
yesterday as the Governments solu-
ton for workers whose rationed
home diet is inadequate for their
heavy labor.
Harold Rowe, director OF food ra-
tioning for the Office of Price Ad-
ministration, told the same Blue
Network radio audience that distri-
button of extra ration stamps would
be impossible at this time.
DR.. Rowe emphasized that all
Washington agencies concerned with
diet are agreed that provision must
be made for the workers whose
rationed diet is inadequate. He said
provision must be made not only for
those doing extraordinarily heavy
labor. but for persons in areas so
isolated. or SO congested. as to pre-
vent them from having access to
fresh food markets and restaurants.
DIR. Goodhart and Mr.. Rowe
agreed that experience in war plants
had demonstrated that one ration
point-free meal daily on the job
furnished satisfactory food sup
plement for those who need it. DR..
Goodhart added that management
had found that in-plant feeding
yields returns in better morale, de-
creased absenteeism, and increased
production"

BALTIMORE, July 12.-Robert M.
Law, technical director of the Fed

those of the urban area. / wonder If

Michael Rosenauner, chairman of

interesting" suggestions takes a
long way from the theme Of these
conferences"
But" Mr.. Law insisted 1T is
related to the practical problem"
