Quartermaster Corps Keeps 'Em Rolling

The Army has a name for the vast, intricate and vital Quartermaster Corps activity employed in the Louisiana maneuvers as well as the preparation for the First Army maneuvers which Lieutenant General Hugh Drum will conduct in the Carolinas during the next two months. The Army calls it logistics. In the text of the civilian the term is readily understandable when translated as a design for living. How soldiers live, are quartered, supplied, and in this day of mechanized warfare, how they are transported is something John Q. Citizen can understand when he puts it on the same plane which he designs for his own comfort and ability to move about. What the Quartermaster Corps does for more than a million and a half soldiers John Q. Citizen must do for himself. His design for living is only multiplied by the Army into somewhere in the multiplication the Army tacked on the term logistics, which the dictionary defines as "that branch of military art which embraces the details of the transport, quartering and supply of troops." So John Q. Citizen begins to understand logistics when he compares it to the possession and operation of his home; the tenting and furnishing of his home; supplying his family with clothing, groceries, meats, vegetables and other necessities of life; keeping his house warm in summer and filling the coal bin for the winter. Not many citizens who maintain and own their own automobiles could adjust their daily lives in these times to a new design for living which did not include control of their motor cars. The housewife, to whom the Quartermaster Corps has often been compared, recognizes the necessity of having the automobile ready for instant use when it comes time to meet the 5:15 bringing hubby home from the office. Mrs. Citizen may readily decide in favor of calling her neighbor on the telephone and taking part of the neighbor's motor car to fulfill a responsibility which she has long recognized as her own. The Army in its plan of logistics, calls for a simplified system on the service of supply to the front lines with Quartermaster Corps not only responsible for assembly of supplies, but to insure their arrival responsible also for transportation. To meet this motor transport problem the Quartermaster Corps is moving with tremendous speed in establishing regional motor maintenance districts throughout the country. Facilities are being installed at a central point in interlocking hundred-mile circles to keep each motor vehicle in operation-conditioned and to hold the Quartermaster Corps' slogan "Keep 'Em Rolling." Like the housewife who demands her automobile be ready when the theory is the Quartermaster Corps has pledged that no motor vehicle shall remain out of service because of damaged or wornout equipment. Instead the Quartermaster has removed the damaged part and installed a completely new one, sending the damaged equipment to the regional depot for repair, not keeping the motor truck in service for the troops and live up to the demand to "Keep 'em Rolling." Logistics, or design for living, in theory links the operation of the transportation with the service of supply that there is scarcely a person who does not see the parallel to his daily life in the activities of the Quartermaster Corps. In Army camps all over the country the soldier's design for living which the Quartermaster Corps operates becomes a clear pattern when John Q. Citizen views the Quartermaster as a combination of a variety of mercantile establishments in a big city. The Quartermaster not only is the ice and coal man, but he is the haberdasher, the restaurant man and the hotel keeper. He runs the taxi service and operates the trucking, transfer and storage business as well. He is the garbage collector and the second-hand salvage dealer. He operates the laundry and shoe repair shop in addition to conducting the clothing store and managing all the dry-cleaning. All of a city's public utility facilities the Quartermaster Corps furnishes for the soldiers much in the same manner which a city manager, or the mayor and board of aldermen or aldermen of a city, conduct those functions in a community. He provides the water supply and the sewage disposal; he runs the electric light plant, polices the streets in camp, builds parkways and operates the fire department. Only the wart-ime essentials of these duties does the Quartermaster Corps take with it in providing the design for living for troops in a theatre of action. To execute behind the lines these requirements of transport, quartering and supply the Army always has selected the highly trained Quartermaster Corps and given to the duties demanded therefor that selection the term logistics, which comes from the Greek word "logostikos," which has as its root the word "lego," which means to select.

DEFENSE QUIZ

Q. Can Defense Savings Stamps be redeemed? A. Yes. They can be redeemed for cash at face value or exchanged for Defense Savings Bonds. For example, 75 of the 25-cent stamps-total cash value $18.75-may be exchanged for a Defense Savings Bonds which in 10 years will be worth $25. Q. How long have Defense Savings Stamps been on sale at retail stores? A. Sale of stamps at retail stores originated in the state of Michigan, July 10. The idea met with such success that it is spreading rapidly, and soon stamps will be sold in most retail stores on a nation-wide basis. Note-To buy Defense Bonds and Stamps, go to the nearest post office, bank or savings and loan association; or write to the Treasury at the United States, Washington, D. C.

Functions of' FHA Outlined

The Federal Housing Administration does not lend money and does not build homes. It is an insurance agency which protects banks, building and loan associations, life insurance companies, and other lending institutions against loss on loans made to individuals or companies for the construction or purchase of residential structures or the repair or improvement of homes and other types of buildings. Through the mechanism of loan insurance, the FHA is able to exert an important influence on the whole building, financing and real estate structure.

Navy Organizing New County Unit

Navy recruiting officials have decreed The Riviera that Navy recruits from Dade County who are in all respects ready for enlistment during the week of October 20th to 25th will depart together for the Naval Training Station and will be known as the Dade County unit. This unit will have the assurance of remaining together during their period of training at the Naval Training Station. This advance information is presented due to the fact that it requires about one week to complete the investigation of applicants for the Navy after they have been found to meet the physical and mental requirements. The Riviera would like to have the names of those who desire to become a part of the Dade County unit and every effort will be made to have the Navy Recruiting Service complete their papers without delay. Prominent citizens of Dade County will be on hand to give the first Dade County unit. to be enlisted in the Navy a big send-off. The second Dade County unit will leave during the week commencing October 27th.

Youngsters Plug Defense Savings

If given $100 "all his own," two out of every three youngsters in the United States would invest the entire amount in United States Defense Savings Bonds, results of a nation-wide poll just made public indicate. William T. Reed, Chicago manufacturer, informed the Treasury that the 75-pound citizens between the ages of eight and thirteen were included in the poll conducted by his organization with the co-operation of the Y. M. C. A. and other groups sponsoring summer camps. Children from families of all income groups were included in the poll. Thirty-five per cent of the boys and 28 per cent of the girls, representing 33 per cent of all children in the poll, said they would invest the $100 in Defense Bonds. Forty-seven per cent said they would put the money in the bank, 1 per cent would buy toys, 7 per cent would purchase clothing, and 2 per cent would take "special lessons."

Family Reunion

A family reunion was held at the home of Mrs. Naomi Boyd of St. Marys, Pa., when her daughters, Mrs. E. R. Padgett, Mrs. Charles Neiger and Mrs. Valery Mehler, all of Coral Gables, visited her. Mrs. Padgett, who lives at 1110 Salzedo, was accompanied by her daughter, Mary. They will return the 15th.

Shorter Hair For Fall

Shorter hair, and not quite so curly, is the new fall fashion. This means emphasis upon hats. And no hair-do will be complete without a hat.

POPEYE, THE RECRUITING OFFICER, HAS FOOD FOR THOUGHT!

AH'OY, SWAB, YA LOOKS LIKE A MILLION BUCKS! P-S-S-T--POPEYE-- IT MUST COST PLENTY TO BUY A NAVY UNIFORM LIKE THAT! ARF-ARF YA GETS UNIFORMS FREE WHEN YA ENLISKS, AN' FREE FOOD AN' NO DOCTOR OR DENTIST BILLS GEE, THEN IN TH'NAVY THE PAY IS GRAVY! NEXT DAY SOME HOSTESS!! I'M GLAD I ENLISTED, BUT YOU SURE GOT THE GRAVY! Copr. 1941, King Features Syndicate, Inc., World rights reserved.

Accidents in School Buildings Top Those on the Playgrounds

Apparently there is more danger for school kids wrapped up in the learning of readin', writin' and 'rithmetic than there is in chinning themselves or skinning the cat on school playground apparatus! The new edition of Accident Facts, the National Safety Council's annual volume of accident statistics, reports that of all accidents (fatal and non-fatal) which were suffered during the 1940-41 school year by elementary, junior and senior high school children, 21 per cent occurred in school buildings and only 16 per cent occurred on school grounds. An additional 7 per cent of the accidents for this group occurred while the children were on their way to or from school. Hazards that make the class rooms more dangerous than the sometimes rough-and-tumble playground activities produce accidents as follows: The gymnasium was the scene of 33 per cent of the accidents that occurred in school buildings. Halls and stairs produced 19 per cent, school shops 18 per cent, classrooms 13 per cent. Seventeen per cent were unclassified. Here is the distribution of playground accidents: Unorganized activities, 42 per cent; football, 18 per cent; baseball, 11 per cent; other unorganized games, 21 per cent; apparatus, 8 per cent. Among elementary and junior high school children exclusively, accidents resulted in 6,600 deaths during the calendar year 1940. There are no accident fatality figures that include high school pupils. The first store in Coral Gables was built in July, 1922. U. S. Mail delivery to Coral Gables was inaugurated on April, 3 1926.
