consignment of beach mines, de-

There's a great deal more human
interest in Civilian Personnel than
meets the naked .eye-or the most
casual inquiry.
The human interest lies in the
story behind the story of each ap-
plicant whose complete processing
means something to do" for these
who are responsible for the smooth
running of Civilian PersonnePS ad-
ministrative section: The Director
of Civilian Personnel, End 1t. George
L. Frantz, who also serves as safety
officer; Charles E. Williams, eXecu
tive assistant; r. B. Hoiton, chief
clerk.
There is also human interest in
the story behind the story of Civilian
Personnel itself. Before September
Is, 1941, Civilian Personnel did not
exist, except, perhaps in the mind
of persons who we're responsible for
the issuance of War Department
Order M. This order, dated August
13, 1912, brought about the centrali-
zation of all hiring and personnel
functions under one office whose
working setup was established along
the same lines as Military Personnel.
Before the new setup came into
existence civilian perSonel on mill
tary posts was a more or less hit
and miss affair Every unit had its
own personnel section, with little
coordination between units in the
proper classification or transfer of
employees.
: Mrs. Can't Veteran
Originally in charge of the new
Civilian Personnel setup at Fort
E5uachuca was Mrs. Lenora Can't,
wife of a Fort Huachuca enlisted
man, who has spent % years on the
Post since coming west from her
native Bonneville, Mo. There were

Personnel, now has IL clerks under
her supervision. Formerly employed
as a stenographer in the Quarter
masters office, Mrs CAN'T is one of
the most valued employees in Civil
ian Personnel. Duties of her de-
partment include handling reports,
correspondence hiring, separations
and promotions, establishments of
new positions and card control files.
She is also member of the Civil
Service Board of Examiners.
Much of the credit for the inter-
esting story behind the story of
Civilian Personenl is due to the
efforts of Mr.. Williams, executive
assistant to the Civilian Personnel
Officer. Appointed to his present
post November %, 1912, Mr.. Will
]iams brought with him invaluable
experience gained while working
with civilian personnel at Fort
Douglas, Utah. Most salient key
to the present success and rapid
strides made by Fort Huachuca's
Civilian Personnel Office is the fact
that in processing an employe every
step is completed with the excep-
ton of medical examinations be-
fore the job-seeker leaves the Of
flee.
Mr.. c. E. Williams
Moreover, all phases of handling
the employe, hiring, paying and
clearing, are carried out in one
office. The processing of employees
is quickly and completely done be-
cause Mr.. Williams has Civil Service
authority to recruit civilian en-
ployes, as well as, to give Civil
Service examinations and pass on
them.
While all sections of the Civilian
Personnel branch are not complete
ly setup, those which are function
ing are expanding daily and with
as much rapidity as governmental
regulations and shortages of quail
fled employees will allow.

Post DSO Sets Dental Record

The Post Dental Surgeons Office
has achieved a record of which it
may we'll be proud-completion of
dental work and subsequent place
ment of 15,048 patients in dental
''claSS w."
Placement of dental patients in
"claSs w" means that over $4,000
men who were formerly in bad shape
for military service because of vari-
Gus oral defects no longer require
any treatment. These men were for
merly in classes I, II or Ill" which
meant that, categorically, they re-
quired immediate treatment" such
as extractionS; they required "early
treatment" such as Filings; or they
required extended treatment" such
as construction of dentures and
bridgework. Patients in "claSs w"
are those who do not require any
treatment.
This magnificent job of dental
rehabilitation was performed by the
staff of 1t. COL Edward v. Stack
poole, Post Dental Surgeon, in the
three dental clinics that serve Fort
Huachuca. Interesting feature of
the record job is that it was done
in less than eight months, from Sep
tember to the latter part of March
when the 93rd Division moved out.
Dental Clinic No. l was activated
September 81, with "a chairs and
20 offices on duty. Chief of the
dental service there is Capt. R. w.
Holton, Jr.; chief of oral surgery
section is 1t. E. I. Booker; chief
of operative section is 1t. M. E.
Huffman and chief of prosthetic
section, 1t. F. w. Johnson.

Of service at this clinic is Major

Up to the time that Dental Clinics

Clinic No. 2, with 10 chairs and
eight officers on duty was serving
this station. Chief of service in Den

$500 Sittings
Work done by these three clinics
from September l to April 80, ac-
cording to the Office of the Post

Strikes Cut To
Lowest Figure

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Due to
the cooperation of organized labor,
time lost due to strikes in 1912 was
reduced to one-fourth the average OF
the preceding five years of peace, the
National War Labor Board an
nounced.
The board said that strikes in war
industries last year caused loss of
six days for each ten thousand days
worked. Thus the time lost due to
strikes was cut down to six dne-hun-
dredths of one per cent of time
worked. In the last two months of
the year, even this notable record was
improved to three-hundredths of one
per cent.
Preliminary figures for both war
and non-war industries showed that
the number of Stoppages totaled 5000
ddring the year, but most of them were
of very brief duration. A total OF
$4,000 workers was involved.
Comparative figures cited in the
NWLB showed that in England
there were 1881 strikes involving 349,-
600 workers and indirectly affecting
another 100000 employees during the
same period. 1t was pointed out that
Britain's population is one-third that
of the United States. Furthermore
Great Britain is in the midst of the
war theatre.

Company Wants Closed

TAMPA, Fla.-Closed shop con-
tracts between Tampa Shipbuilding
Co. and ii AFL unions covering some
1900 workers were outlawed for the

The decision is the second VIC

has promised to Danish the closed
shop from this state. So important
did the ALL. consider the case
that it assigned Chief Counsel JOS

A similar argument was invoked in
the Tampa suit, Parks ruling that the
closed shop is against public policy at
a time when "all sacrifices and suffer
