er, ordered the grand jury to re-
convene next Tuesday when the
prosecutor will present the Noble
Farmer case as we'll as other mat
ters which may be brought in for

MANY PROMOTIONS RESULT AFTER
REORGANIZATION AT LOCAL POST

A complete reorganization of
Erie Ordnance Depot, effective inn
mediately, is announced by Col
E. M. Webb, Commanding officer.
A new organization manual,
providing accurate information de-
picting the functions and organ
ization of the post, has been
compiled and distributed by the
Management Office.
Explaining the new organiza-
tion, Col. Webb states:
This organization is based on
the result of months of study by
the most competent Department
of Army personnel, and follows
modern concepts of efficient Jr-
ganization and accepted principles
of we'll managed private indus
trial plants.
"ThiS organization is a tool for
the guidance of individual think
ing and action. In the final an
alysis, perfect Organizational
plan will accomplish absolutely
nothing with inefficient people;
conversely, a poor organizational
plan may be productive when it is
implemented with competent peo-
pie.
"Thus the combination of Su.
perior personnel for which this
depot is we'll known, and the at
tached organizational plan, will
raise the already high standards
and reputation of Erie Ordnance
Depot provided each employee
plays his full part.
81 am confident this will be
done"
Numerous reassignmentS in po
sitions, many of them promotions
are announced in conformance
with the new organization, and
because of the increasing need
for trained and experienced ad
ministratorS, technicians, and SUI
pervisors resulting from the de-
pots expanded work program.
