Fort Huochuco Begins the New Year With Proye
CTS Ingenuity
Speeds Repairs

Headquarters, Eur p n
Theater of Operations = An
empowered hack saw which
has speeded repair of equip
ment has been rugged up by
Sgt. James H. Walton, of 1855
South Vincennes, Ave, Chica-
go, ILL.,, member Of an all-Negro
engineer aviation battalion in Great
Britain.
Using scrap metal and discard
ed automobile fan belt, Sergeant
Walton built the saw so that it
could be powered by an air-driven
drill press.
Commenting on the time-saving
qualities of the invention, Sergeant
Walton said: "Now I can do two
jobs at one time. I can work on the
shop lathe while the saw is cutting
axles off of steel bars for me- What's
more, the mechanical saw does more
accurate work than can be done by
hand"

Fort Huachuca Clocks On
Standard Time; No Change
For Railroad, Bus Lines

Telegraphic instructions sent this
week by the Adjutant General of the
Army to posts in Arizona, through
Headquarters Ninth Service Com
mand, directed that Mountain
Standard Time, as proclaimed by the
Governor of Arizona on January 1st
be followed by all posts in Arizona.
Fort Huaucha clocks were therefore
set back an hour at midnight Tues
day, Jan. 8, and all post and Division
activities are now following Noun
tain Standard Time instead of
Mountain War Time, as heretofore.
The message of the Ajutant Cen
eral read as follows:
Governor of Arizona has de-
creed that State of Arizona change
from Mountain War Time to
Mountain Standard Time effective
midnight thirty-first December,
1943. All War Department agen-
cies concerned will conform to Of
ficial time established for State of
Arizona by Governor. Desired
foregoing be brought to attention
of all installations within geo
graphical limits of your Service
Command"
However, because of their inter-
state connections, the Southern Pa
cific Railroad, Greyhound bus line,
and TucsOn-NOgaleS- -BiSbee bus will
continue to operate on Mountain
War Time.

Fifteen of the original 28
pilots of the 99th Squadron
are still on the job, with nine
veterans now back in the
United States to help train
others. Nineteen replacements have
come in since September.
Now past the experimental stage,
the squadron continues to set speed
marks in maintenance, like chang
ing an engine in just over six
hours. When the outfit was in the
United States, it held the best
maintenance record in the 3rd Air
Force for months with daily
average of 85 to 80 per cent of
planes flyable.
Pilots of the Goth have done every
type of fighter plane work, but most
of their missions, as at present,
have been close support bombing

Dear Miss Dix: Why, when a girl

the war bride uproot herself from

ings Crowded she has a home and
is happy there) to 60 and live with
her husbands parents who are usu-
ally entire strangers to her? 1t

when you try to explain that it Is
in order that the husband can be

the same time when he is on fur

country, surely she could 60 to his
home for visit at that time.
CURIOUS WOMAN.
Answer: share your puzzlement
over the matter, for, as a general
thing. brides regard having to live
with their in-laws as a cruel and
inhuman treatment, nor do in-laws
crave to have daughters-in-law as
permanent guests. I have wondered
much over this and the only con-
clusion can reach Is that when a
son, who is starting of to war,
wishes his wife of on his family it
lis because he wants Nom to keep
an eye on her and see that she
doesn't step out with any other lad.
Or 1t may be because the girls
family didn't want to be bothered
with her. Perhaps they already had
their house overcrowded with other
daughters and daughters -in-law
with their kids and, much as they
love Sally or Mary or Jane, her
room was better than her COM
pany. The lot of parents in war
time qualities them for honorable
mention in the Book of Martyrs.
But, for whatever reason the war
bride goes to live with her in-laws,
it is ghastly mistake, and one that
no one with grain of common
sense or knowing a single thing
about human nature can find any
excuse for making. For in-laws to
live together has always been a
feat that only angels could pull of
successfully. even in ordinary times.
And now, when everyone's nerves
are on edge, when everybody is
hungry and worried and their dis
positions are at an all-time low,
nobody is in a mood to handle
strangers with diplomacy and to
