Spirit Of Inquiry.
All the men in the section
seemed to have the same spirit Of
inquiry and pride in their work.
Most OF them are volunteers re-
cruited into the Army in 1871
largely from the automotive in
dustry. They were picked for their
experience and specialized skill, but
there have been replacements and
new talent has been uncovered. One
of the two watch repair experts
never took watch apart before
he entered the Army. His bench
mate has IL years experience.
1t. Vermillion is typical of the
men who direct the work of the
giant shop. Things mechanical are
his consuming interest and have
been for long time. At 18 he
took a job as a mechanics helper
in an agency in Williamsburg. Four
years later he was foreman of the
shop, and the next year was pro-
NOTED to service manager. He was
general manager at Is but even
after graduating to the office, he
did a month of shop work every
year just to keep his hand in. Dur
ing this time he says he went to
practically every automotive school
east Of the Mississippi.

studying. That's the thing-I'm
learning more about how things
work all the time. This is the kind
OF work I'm going to be doing from
now on, and I don't want to get
lazy"
He won't have much chance to
get lazy as long as the Army uses
such complicated instruments and
as long as the enemy keeps shooting
at them. He and his men will have
plenty OF work and as long as he
and his men are there, it looks as
though the work will somehow get

A short circuit developed in the
electrically heated suit of the
tail gunner and he had to change
positions with one of the waist gun

he could keep his blood circulating
by jumping up and down on the
floor of the careening plane. Even
ut that, both feet of the other waist
gunner were frozen.
Sergt. Waters was in the ball tur-

keeping the gun pointed at enemy

County officials took a

Baquero was right. Where
the red, yellow and blue

posed to be, there was the
red, yellow and green tri-

TO investigate.
An inquiry was launched.
The Plaza custodian was
quizzed. He said he didn't
know of any flag changing.
He went out to take a look
for himself.
THE Ecuadorean flag is

to be-" he reported back.

the man was loco. He
