We must strive to improve

the Sports Arana Wednesday.
New ideas nay emanate from any
one within the organisation. Col.
Smith reyealedc He explained that
many times enlisted men, ineludiog
privates, who are doing minute de
tails are able to make suggeatiom
that improve the efficiency of the
entire unit and thus contribute ma
terially to the overall performance
of the station.

Rations To Save Food
With civiliano being required
to take a rationing notch in their
bolto, Sojnsour Johnoon Field aa a
part of the Aray Air Forces Techni
cal Training Conmand iodoing its sh
are to aid tho national effort to
conserve food without stinting tho
healthy appotitoo of ooldioro in tr
aining.
A stop in this direction has
been taken by the switch from ^rr-
ioon to field rations in all poot
mass hallo, a change dictated chie
fly by tho increasing shortage of
eoffoo, tea, sugar and cocoa, ^oh
must bo li^rtod throu^ depleted
and diverted shipping facilities.
Growing demands for food and more
food for st^pment overseas also wore
o contributing factor.
But Air Force Trainees who th
ink of tho field ration in torao of
hard-taek and boAly beef are wrong.
In fact they will have to be sharp
to note any change in the quantity
quality of food served them*
