Air Corps To
ReGCtiUGte
Field At DOUeT
Continued from first pagel

The Army took over the field on
December II, 1941, just 10 days af-
ter Pearl HarbOr. The first unit to
move in was an observation group
of the Ohio National Guard, and a
bomber unit followed.
In 1943, the base became a field
for training P-40 ThunderbOlt
fighters. A million dollar construc-
ton project added a second hanger
and portable shop building in the
summer of 1914, and made the field
one of the key bases of the First
Air Force.
Hundreds of Thunderbolt fighter
pilots received their final training
there.
After the war, the field continu-
ed as an important unit. AS other
bases were deactivated, it became
the only fighter plane field on the
Atlantic Coast. 1t was also at that
time-1946-the only air force field
in the East having the famous P-SO
jet propelled Shooting Star based
on it. And in addition, it was being
used for aircraft rocket testing and
development, unknown to most res
idents of Delaware.
Planes took off from the fielC
equipped with rockets and hurled
them into targets in marsh lane
near Dover.
The field was deactivated on Sep.
! tember l, 1916.
The air field was considered ar
economic asset important to Dover
The hundreds of men stationed
there brought business to Dover
and in addition the field was sup
piled with electricity from the Do
yer power plant.
The field was highly rated b!
/ Colonel Kenneth r. Powell, com
mander shortly before it was de
activated. He declared: "DOver''
facilities are excellent and we hav,
one of the finest and best equipped
air bases in the world"

CARPENTER MITCHELL
HOSPITAL NOTES

A modern hospital should be a
place Where every function is so
cOordinated that there is no evil
dence of tension, no excitement
where every person employed from
doctors to Orderlies are composed,
competent, unhurried with the
peace of mind of a saint.
This condition is hard to accom-
plish in this world of rapidly
changing conditions. Every day
new methods are used in the treat
ment of diseases; new drugs are
discovered, new applications for
old. So we are required to keep on
our toes, not to get ahead of the
! other fellow, but to do the best we
can for every patient; to have
available all the facilities needed
by our physicians and nurses for
the care of patients.
Nearly every patient admitted to
hospital is tense on arrival.
Their physical ailment is some
thing that could not be foreseen
and planned for, so most every
patient, if conscious, brings with
him a state of mind bordering on
panic. These fears must be allay-
ed and nerves must be quieted if
hospital treatment is to help him.
A writer of a recent article in
the magazine Modern Hospital" 4"
speaking of nervous tension and
it's causes and ways of eliminating,
says: ito the extent that tension
is caused by moral conflict, the
only ultimate answer to it is be-
haviOr according to right moral
principles. BY whatever process of
reason or act of faith right be-
havior is achieved, it is not es-
pecially to be sought at cocktail
parties. Whoever seeks real relief
from tension should look in the
Bible, not in the bottle"
Extreme temperatures, either hot
or cold, is one of the causes of in
crease of illness and injuries. Mil
ford Memorial is feeling the excess
siYe heat and the facilities are
strained to the utmost; nearly ev-
cry bed is occupied. Financially
the picture is different, and if
those of you readers who owe this
hospital a bill for service rendered
will pay us it will aid materially
in carrying on the work.

the past week:
