Gets Training At
Air Base In England
Announcement from an Air
Force Service Command station
“somewhere in England” reveals
that Pfc. Walden E. Head, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Foster C. Head,
of 800 West Union Extension,
Morganton, is now overseas and
has participated in a course desig
nated to bridge the gap between
training in the States and soldier
ing in an active theatre of war.
At one of the Air Service Com
mand stations known as Control
Depots, Pfc. Head was carefully
processed by classification experts
who made certain that he was
well fitted for the job assignedto
him.
Security training, personal hy
giene, a talk by a special service
officer informing him of facilities
for healthful recreation, and a
lecture by the chaplain are all
in turn part of the G. I.’s prep
aration for his overseas duty. His
next station will be one from which
American fighting planes will take
off to smash the Nazi war ma
chine.
Before entering the army he
was employed as a machinist’s
helper by the Triangle Construc
tion Co., Durham, N. C.—Contrib.
