Service Forces Needed
Following Germany's defeat, the
Air Forces will have to move com
lat groups and supporting ground
units from all over the world to the
Pacific areas. The nature of the
Pacific area dictates that Service
Forces personnel will be needed in
great numbers to carry the war to
Japan. Long supply lines, scattered
bases, jungles, primitive country, all
contribute to the Importance and
necessity for Service Forces per-

Troining Film Librory Is important
Aid In Making Soldiers of Recruits

From 7:30 O'Clock in the morning
when training officers arrive in
jeeps to pick up films and projec-
tors for their o'clock shows, right
through the noon hour, when the
equipment has been returned and
made ready for the afternoon shows.
and up until after $50 P. M, when
the last jeep lfas returned the after
noon show material or picked UP
their evening shows the film library
is busy and crowded place.
The film library has become an
increasingly important institution
in producing and guiding the use of
various visual aids put out by the
War Department for training the
soldier in modern warfare. A trained
and experienced library staff makes
every effort to meet the demands
and promote the use of visual aids
in the training program for the
soldiers.
Psychologists say 90 per cent of
Our learning comes through our
eyes, per cent through our ears,
and per cent through other senses.
That is why army training officers
have found that visual aids have
cut 40 per cent from the 1917 train
ing time.
Visual Aids Material
The film library at Fort Huachuca
has over 900 different 16-mm movie
films and 1000 filmstrips covering
almost every phase of training and
ORIGINATING the soldier for army
life living and combat duty In ad-
dition to film material there is
large selection of portfolios, charts
and posters containing vital ma
terial. Special films not available
from the local library are constantly
~borrowed from the central film Ii
brary from the Ninth Service Com
mand.
Training officers are assisted in
making the best possible use of Wis
ual aids material by previeWing
: films and charts in the three pre-
view rooms Officers are assisted in
preparing quizzes given to troops
after showings which are used with
the special quiz cards. The most
popular and widely used visual
training aids are the movie films.
The monthly attendance to the va
fious moving pictures alone totals
from 100000 to 100000 each month.
Library Equipment
In constant use at the Film Lii
brary are 33 16-mm projectors with
sound, 80 filmstrip projectors, SIX
Balloptricians or opaque reflector
projectors and seven reproducerS or
record players. Most of the time
practically all of this equipment is
in use and at times there is wait
ing list. Many of the projectors and
films go out several times day.
This requires an expert and ac-
curate booker using film and
equipment booking ledger.
Personnel of Library
The Training Film Library is set
up under the Post Signal Officer,
Captain Stanton. To take care of
this important arm of the service
carefully selected and trained
library staff operated efficiently and
courteously under the supervision
of Ellis G. Rhode, visual aids CO.

CPL Lucille Hill is clerk and Sec
retary responsible for the impor-
tant records of all films shown, film
lists and correspondence pertaining
to visual aids.

fruit, as it is often called, is served
raw with salad dressing; in the
autumn, large and small ones are
picked.
AS a cucumber is a native of the
tropics, it must be planted where
frost cannot reach it. The seeds
may be sown under glass and the
young plants transplanted in the
open ground prepared for them
when warmer weather is assured.
With acceptable soil and the right
amount OF moisture, one should have
ull-sized cucumbers in eight weeks.
The height of the growing season
is August, when days are hot and
nights moist and warm. Then the
cucumber patch must be visited
every day the ones that are plump
and almost cylindrical in shape are
ready for eating. They should be
chilled so they will be crisp.
Whether you plant the seeds of
the Cupid or of well established
cucumbers known by other names,
there will be the same old pests
right on the job to take much of
your zest for gardening. Keep an
alert out for the cucumber beetle
with stripes on its wing covers.
1t is fond of the seedlings. 1t hides
under the leaves and usually escapes
the remedies one applies to such
pests. Cucumber blight has had
lot to do with diScOuraging the Gu
cumber grower.
