way. He walks at least five
kilometers over jungle paths,
gathering a little latex from
each tree. About 10 o'clock he
arrives back at his matched hut,
lays aside the gun he carried for
protection from wild beasts and
C .ually wild Indians, and begins
smoking the latex he gathered.
The smoking is done in his
hut or under some other cover
that will prevent any breeze
from DETECTING the smoke. The
seringueiro dips a pole or pad
die into liquid latex, which is
about the color and consistency
of sweet milk, holds it in the
smoke, turning it constantly un-
til it coagulates, and then dips
on another layer of latex. He
continues this process all after
noon, while the acrid smoke
ruins his eyes and does no good
to his lungs. For the hard-earn-
ed rubber thus produced he re-
ceives Is cents a pound less IL
per cent for water content.
That is the life of a Bolivian
seringueiro, who is fortunate
enough to work where he can get
a long ton of rubber, 1000 kilo-
grams wear.

Accidents in Hangars

A survey of accidents in and around hangars, shops and aprons has shown that more individuals are hurt from falls, than so-called dangerous machinery.
 Falls from airplanes, while get ting on and off wings, grease spots on the floor, makeshift boxes and steps and towing vehicles were the cause of most of the injuries.
 A certain amount of the blame can be placed on poor housekeep- ing but the greater number were caused by just clumsy carelessness and lack of forethought. Grease or oil should be removed immediately before someone slips. Tools, parts and equipment should be kept out of passageways and not be allowed to remain lying on the wing or fuselage surfaces. Adequate num- bers of maintenance stands, plat forms and steps should be provid- ed and kept in good condition. If repairs are necessary, the work should be done by competent per- sons who know how, rather than in a make-shift way. Drop cords and air hoses should be so arranged as to avoid tripping hazards.
 Maintenance stands should al- ways be used when working on the engine or the accessory section. Never climb up on the engine or the accessory section, because a slip will usually result in bad fall. -.-: l....= ....
 One serious injury was caused by a fall from a towing tug. These ve- hicles were not designed to carry passengers and base regulations forbid personnel riding on them.
 Good safety precautions prevent accidents and pay dividends in manpower saved. Today's shortage of trained personnel makes the elimination of all hazards MUST.

FAF WACS PLAY BIG PART IN WAR EFFORT

"For every woman behind a type writer or a switchboard, every woman driving a truck of supplies or doing any of the hundreds of jobs which must be done to keep behind-the-lines activities moving toward the invasion front, there is one more man fighting on that front" said Major Elizabeth H.. Gilbert, WAC Staff Director of the First Air Force in D-Day state ment issued at her headquarters. By reason of the opening of the new front in France, WAC's every where feel more conscious and more confident of their need in the Army plan," Major Gilbert con- tinued. "I'm sure that every WAC assigned to duty in the First Air Force is powerfully aware of the part she is filling in the war pie ture."
 Right now, on eighteen First Air Force bases and installations, WAC's are serving their country in the best of many possible ways. Of- ficers and enlisted personnel are performing wide variety of duties in Quartermaster, Special Service, and Personal Affairs office. In post theatres, libraries, exchanges and other units essential to wartime maintenance of an air field, WAC's have taken over for the men who left such tasks behind to partici- pate in the biggest show of all. As the speed of invasion moves toward maximum, more and more WAC's will appear at First Air Force bases trained to handle jobs in Budget anad Fiscal, Civilian Per- sonnel, Statistical, Operations and Training, Maintenance and Supply, Recruiting, and on down the line through hundreds of other Army classifications.
 Although only little more than a year has gone by since the ad- vent of WAC's in the First Air

CTS and provided chiefly by local talent, facilities for playing games, reading and writing are some of the attractions enjoyed by the service men.
 The soldier who is worried, how ever, gets priority attention from the Red Cross field staff, his prob- lems are threshed out, messages and letters are sent by cable or air mail on their long jorney to Amer ica, and then comes back the an- swer to his queries. The process works in reverse, too, when the soldiers family has an emergency message for him. j.

Force, their record of achievement has been great. Many of the early arrivals are now serving in half a dozen foreign theaters of war. Their assignments overseas run the gamut from clerk typists and op- erational code clerks to teletype op- orators and cooks and bakers, jobs vital to the success of our present major offensives.
 Another section of the First Air Force in which WAC's' have been of exceptionally progressive aid is the medical department. According to Colonel Cadmur J. Baker, First Air Force Surgeon, it has been estimated that fully 60 per cent of all enlisted personnel within the FAF medical department can be replaced by women. "WAC's," said Col. Baker, "are being assigned in ever-increasing numbers to medical department jobs as laboratory technicians, dental technicians, medical non-coms, statistical clerks, cooks, mess sergeants, and scores of other tasks. Their capabilities are endless"
 The opening of Allied activity in France has accelerated WAC re- cruit in to an all-time high. Re- ports from recruiting officers are extremely encouraging. Base conn., manders, and recruiting teams set up by them will undoubtedly obtain excellent results now that respon- sibility for enlisting WAC's for their organizations is their own.
 It is hoped, in view of the fact the previous flow of WAC person. nel made available to FAF by AAF headquarters has decreased, that the spur of enlistments prompted by the invasion of Europe will go far toward filling the quotas of WAC's needed at First Air Force bases from Maine to Florida. In the FAF the welcome mat is out for WAC's.

A real musical treat is in store for the audience at next Tuesdays concert of recorded music at the Base Library for it will feature an all Gershwin program, including his famous Rhapsody in Blue," his Concerto in F and his folk-opera, "Porgy and Bess."
 Gershwin is another Brooklyn lad who made good. Born in that famous "tree" city in 1898, he studied piano with Charles Ham, bitzer and hormony with Edward Kilenyi, and at the age of sixteen went to work for the firm of J. H. Remick 6 Company as "song- plugger." He also started to write his own songs and was almost inn mediately launched on his brilliant career.
 "The Rhapsody in Blue" was an instantaneous success, followed soon thereafter by his Concerto in F." written in 1925. His folk-opera, "Porgy and Bess," based on the play, "Porgy," bu Du Bose and Dorothy Hayward, was produced in the autumn of 1885. It was char acteristic of him that when he did get around to writing a jazz opera he wrote it for the theater, and not for the opera house, so that it might be good show, and not just a musical triumph.
 At cruelty early age Gershwin died while working on the score of

93d Upsets Ordnance
 In League Play, 24-l3

In mild upset at the Base Gym, the 93d defeated the hitherto un- beaten Ordnance Blockbusters by the decisive margin of 24-13.
 The men of the 93d clicked smoothly throughout the game and at no time were in danger of be- ing overtaken. Ward and Locicero were largely responsible for SCOT ing the points but the magnificent teamwork of the Controlmen broke down the Blockbuster.
 In the first game of the evening, Finance whipped the Tow Target five by a 32-18 tally. This was an nounced as an exhibition game and did not alter the standings of either team in the league.
 Michaelson, the Moneymen's star forward, rang up eight field goals to lead the scorers with 16 points.

FINANCE INCREASES PIN LEAD

The Finance Detachment bowling team swept through d-fghting Ordnance "B" outfit, winning all three matches. Before the wrong impression is created, however, glance down at the box-score.
 In the first string, Finance seked out a two-pin win and in the sec ond, they had another narrow es- cape by four-pin margin. How ever, in the final match, the Mon eymen took a decisive twe've-pin margin into the records with them and thereby increased their league leadership.
 Jones, of the Blockbusters, was easily the "hote man of the evening with a brace of 115 lines sand wiched around a "low'' game of 1O6. ..-,se.
 Michaelson, the Finance star, had one 112 string to his credit.
 One of the main reasons for Finances phenominal success is due to the team's consistency. In the final frame, just six pins separated the high and low men. No score was over 100 and yet the ATT was enough to win the match. Detachment C-I and the Ord nance "A" teams postponed their match until next Wednesday.

 The Airmen broke into a 70 lead but quick scores by the Knights found the 18th leading 7-6 at the end of the first quarter. Stan Och- manski inserted a complete new team and at the close of the first half, the service men had a com fortable 1910 margin.
 Salustri and Haigh sparked the second half drive with both men bucketing several spectacular shots. As usual, Frank Bisanzo was a tower of strength as steadying in- fuence and also as a defensive player.
