Unsung Heroes
Theirs the Job to Keep War
Machines in Condition
For Active Service.

HICKAM FIELD, T. H. - Air
strength must be measured by more
than numbers of planes, for without
repair shops. maintenance facilities
and the thousands of gadgets which
must be fitted and overhauled by I'M
sung ground workers. it would be
impossible to keep 'em flying.
An indication of Americas swiftly
growing air power in the southwest
and South Pacific can be seen at the
Hawaiian air depot. For the first
time since Pearl Harbor, CORE
spondents have been taken behind
the scenes and shown how this huge
aviation depot is making its influ-
ence felt.
In one large hangar, workmen
swarmed over a long line of four
engine bombers. Some big ships
were battle SCARED veterans rejuve-
mated and improved for further
service.
Get e. Award.
In other hangers, hundreds Of CT
william employees - including Fill
pinos, Chinese. Coreans, and Ha.
waiians-and army technicians were
overhauling and repairing engines.
There is even a foundry where new
parts are manufactured.
Large warehouses at this depot
contain thousands of different spare
parts for planes. Workers can oh.
tain any one of those items-no mat
ter how rare and intricate-on a m
ment's notice.
The army and navy added their
official praise when they awarded
an ''E" to the depot for its out
standing record. It will be the first
time an army unit in the Pacific
has been given such an award.
Lieut.. Gen. Robert c. Richardson,
commanding the Hawaiian depart
ment; Maj. Gen. Willis H. Hale,
commanding the Seventh air force,
and Rear Adm. William R. Furlong,
commandant of the Pearl Harbor
navy yard, officiated.
Absenteeism Rate Low.
Many important improvements to
aircraft have originated here after
planes arrived from the United
States. suggested by Pacific war vet
Grams and skilled engineers on the
staff.
Stories about discomfort among ci-
william workers on Hawaiian projects
do not apply to the Hawaiian air
depot, according to Col. Harry G.
Montgomery. commanding officer.
Democracy is at work here" he
said. I've never seen such hard
workers. Hours mean nothing to
them and there have been times
when they've worked the clock
around to rush planes into condi-
ton" "

Omaha, Neb., said that absenteeism

this, some authorities stating the ma

others preferring to wait two years.
Decomposition can be fastened by
using certain commercially prepared

such products claim a compost pile

in several months. but many gar.
deners do not agree.

AS a usual thing, we're not much
on gripping. We'd far rather pat
someone the back than to start to
crab. However, it seems we have
made a miserable mistake in. our
selection of a candidate for mayor,
on one score. No mayor of Ken
newick should ever be in the auto
mobile business. The condition
of the streets is such that it con-
stitutes major cause for car re-
pairs and a mayor in the automo-
bile business possibly would be
loathe to remove one of the prin-
cipal reasons for car repairs.
In other words, probably the
major improvement which citizens
of this community will look to
the new mayor for will be real
job of street improvement. Our
patchwork street Surfacing has
certainly been worth what it has
cost (almost nothing) and it's high
time we had a decent job. After
all the only way to sell the town
is by having decent streets and
lighting. Where the street surfac-
ing is so bad that it becomes a
constant source of income for car
repairers, it's certainly time some
thing was done. But maybe the
new mayor will quit the repair
business when he gets to mayor
ing!

BUSY BUYING

BUSY BUYING
Market reports point out that
Christmas shopping has set rec
ord in retail history, by getting off
to its earliest start. In certain
large cities where stores have tried
to keep a reserve stock for the
late Christmas rush, it has been
necessary to make inroads into
the holiday supply. This might
well indicate shortages by the
time some of us grab our hat and
try to make the deadline! There
is no practical reason why Christ
mas lists couldn't be made now.
We could help the over-worked
clerks, avoid those crowded trans
portation lines, simply by doing
it now. Mail early and soften the
blow for the postoffice depart
ment. Don't overlook the perils
of procrastination!
