A NOTE ON SUPPLIES AND PRE-INVASION TRAINING


 It. General John c. H. Lee, Gen. eral Eisenhower's deputy Comman- der of the European Theatre of Operations, heads the important Service of Supply. 100000 separate items, ranging from tanks to watch springs, were necessary for the in- vasion. Counting everything, trucks, clothes and weapons, it takes 10 tons of organic equipment to get a single man into the thea tre of operations and 60 pounds per day to keep him there. It has been estimated that the amount of SUD- plies necessary for battle is double that needed in World War l.
 On Tuesday, each man of an Am- erican assault unit carried so rounds of ammunition and three grenades. Some men were armed with rifles, some with Springfelds which had grenade launchers; oth- CTS had Browning automatic rifles, flame throwers and TINT pole charges. American troops each were given 200 francs to spend across the Channel.
 In training for the assault, US infantrymen had an hour of calis-

 Finance Director of training is "Wild Bill" Harrington. He won this assignment on the basis of previous fine work when Sgt. Earthman came into the enlisted pay section. After teaching Webber the ropes, he took over the job of instructing the newest addition to the Finance Office, But Brandt, in the intricacies of enlisted pay. It is just his Boston background coming to the fore.

INVASION OF
 BRADLEY FIELD

During the month of May Brad ley Field was invaded numerous times by the enemy, ACCIDENT AL INJURY. During each invasion casualties resulted, which totaled sixteen for military personnel and two for civilians for the month, Similar invasions were attempted at sub-bases located at Suffolk County AAF and at Hillsgrove AAF. At suffolk four casualties re- suited, three for military person nel and one for civilians, while at Hillsgrove, the enemy was success. fully repulsed with no casualties to the defenders. ..::...
 Analysis of the defending strategy reveals weakness of many simple items of precaution- ary defense, particularly those against injuries from slips and falls which accounted for the large portion of casualties and resulted in foot, ankle and knee injuries.
 The most severe injury involved the loss of the ring finger of the left hand of a worker, caused by a finger ring catching on projec- tion on the bomb rack of a plane, while the injured was stepping down from the plane to the apron. Rings, identification bracelets and similar jewelry should not be worn while working on machines or equipment.
 The foot, ankle and knee injuries were caused by slips and falls from stepping on loose stones and un- even or insecure objects or sur faces. Watch your step at all times.
 We can expect a daily invasion by our common enemy, accidental injury, and beware of the excellent camouf1age that covers many of the potential injury hazards.
 Don't forget the ABCs of Safety: Always Be Careful, both on and off duty.

U. S. HONORS INFANTRY ON ANNIVERSARY

The U. s. Army Ground Forces are observing June 15 as Infantry Day-commemorating the 169th birthday Of the Infantry, backbone of the Army since 1775.
 The day officially marks the birthday of the Army itself as we'll as that of it's Infantry complement, for it was on June 15, 1775 that Col. George Washington, of the Virginia Militia, became Comman- der-in-Chief of the Continental Army, then composed almost en- tirely of Infantry
 Tn observance of the anniver- sary, It. Gen. Leslie J. McNair, chief of the Ground Forces of the U. s. Army, called upon the Am erican public to honor the Infan- tryman "as our foremost fighting man."
 "So far as the United States is concerned, this war up to now has been marked by a long period of naval and air warfare, with rela- lively little serious ground action" Gen. McNair said.
 Nevertheless" he continued "our ground actions in every thea ter have verified beyond doubt that the Infantry still is the decisive and indispensable arm. We must rule the sea and air, but land vic tories alone can bring peace, and only the Infantry can gain these victories.
 "Modern weapons have made the Infantry's task harder, not easier. We must realize that the Infantry bears the brunt of war in both hardships and losses. If we think this thing through, we all-both at home and overseas-really are in the fight to back up the Infantry man. We want him to advance, and we want to save him losses. There is no other sound formula for vic- tory.
 "Infantry Day should honor the Infantryman as our foremost fight ing man." the general concluded "He is our symbol of victory-our greatest war hero"

Great news was in the wind at the end of last week. The first re- suits of diligent efforts in garden ing were to be seen when the first tender pink petunia blossomed in our flower bed. But, alas, it soon withered and died.
 Truly in the line of great news, however, was Tuesday mornings word of the opening of ground op' erations against Fortress Europe We all sat close to the radio as long as possible Tuesday morning and listened to the early reports with prayers in our hearts.
 A vital question of ethics aroused us from our slumbers late one night. The moral issue at stake re- volved around the question of whether a CT should use his real name when making conversational contact with a young lady in Keney Park. The sides were divided into the wolves and the would-be- wolves.

Call Me Meyer
 One First Air Force fighter squadron has a bulletin board la beled "Call Me Meyer" It's used exclusively to display the score of daily bombing and fighter attacks on Hitler's Fortress Europe. The unique name given the bulletin board makes unusually good sense, for it derives it's provocative tag from a remark made by fat Mar shal Goering early in the war. He said, "You can call me Myer if an Allied plane ever attacks the Reich. ."So it's Meyer, Meyer, Mey- CT. until your tongue goes limp with wagging.

Telling Adolf in Mournful Numbers

Since Pearl Harbor Uncle Sam has managed to corral and send to the fighting fronts for crack at the enemy about everything from kitchen sinks to artificial freplaces. War Production Chairman Donald M. Nelson recently announced the war production record as 100000 planes, 225,O0O artillery pieces, 13O,OOO tanks, 1,300,0OO trucks, 31,- 5O0,00O tons of merchant shipping, and 100000 tons of naval ship ping. In the face of these figures who dares say that the American worker is lying down on the job? As for the First Air Force, it is proud that a goodly chunk of those planes came it's way to be put to gainful use and into action.
