POST EXCHANGE.
is ENLARGED.
Main "PX" Is Now Doubled
in Size at Dover Air Base
For Refreshments
EMPLOYEES CIVILIANS

Considerably augmented Post
Exchange facilities for personnel
at the Dover Army Air Field were
virtually complete this week with
the doubling in size of the main
Post Exchange, establishment of
an annex for the convenience of
men in a dispersed section of the
air field, and the increased use of
mobile unit for hospital patients.
A department store with an as
sortment of necessities, refresh
ments, and supplies that would vie
for honors with the comic-strip
city drug store, the Post Exchange
caters to the needs of small COM
munity in itself.
Snacks and Light Lunches
From morning until taps" en-
listed men and officers make bee
lines for the "PX" to fill their in
cidental needs. Tobacco, candy,
newspapers and magazines head
the list of popularity among the
staples, while the refreshment
counter is ever busy providing
snacks and light lunches. For
more than a year, the main "PX"
operated in one-half of the recrea-
tion building, completed in July
1943 adjacent to the theatre. Dur
ing the past summer, however, the
library moved to its own building
and the PIX Immediately began to
expand into the remainder of the
building and gradually increased
its facilities to the present high
quality and quantity.
Jewelry and Novelties Added
Clothing, jewelry and novelties
are the latest additions, but the
entire stock has been increased in
both variety and quantity COM
mensurate with availability from
civilian sources. Incidently, only
few primary items such as candy,
cigarettes, sigars and ice cream re-
ceive unlimited quota consideration
when purchased on the open
market by the PIX. Improvements
include doubling of seating capac-
ity, installation of a separate ice
cream and soda water bar, expan-
sion of the refreshments bar for
sandwiches, pastries and milk
drinks, purchase of new showcases
with fiuorescent lights from an
other camp exchange which has
been discontinued, and the estab-
lishment of the PX's own ware
house.
Another PIX ON Field
Newest development is the open
ing of the PIX Annex on the other
side of the field, with a complete
variety of staples excepting cloth
ing. Present operations during the
evening hours are in charge of Pri-
vate First Glass Walter r. Hill, but
it is expected that the hours will be
extended shortly with civilian help.
At the hospital, compact and mo-
bile PIX makes daily rounds of the
wards to provide bedside service to
the patients. A large variety of
items is included and special atten-
ton is given to specific requests
for other items which are provided
promptly. 1t. George T. Walroth
