Jeeps Are Hard On Soldiers' Trousers Atlanta, Ga.?A soldier's trousers may wear out from too much sittini on the seat of a galloping jeep, but he won't have to wait long for a new pair under a plan announced recent ly by Brigadier General James L. lYank, Fourth Corps Area Quarter master. The new system puts re placement of clothing and equipage on an exchange basis. This plan, already in qperation as far as motor parts and general re pair work on the army's vehicles are concerned, does away with the red tape of requisitions by replacing worn-out goods with new ones in a simple exchange. Under the old system, if a soldier's trousers wore out, he had to report that he needed new ones to his com pany commander who in turn took the matter up with the supply offi cer of his unit through a great deal of paper work in requisitions, corre spondence and the like. Under the new set-up, the soldier turns his worn-out trousers in to his company commander who in turn takes them, in a bundle with other clothing, to the supply officer of his unit. The supply officer then turns them in to the classification of ficer in the office of the post Quar termaster. Immediately after the trousers are turned over to the classification of ficer, the post Quartermaster prop erty officer issues new clothing for all the worn-out ones turned in. These are, in turn, reissued to the individual soldiers. Not only does this new plan save both the enlisted man and the offi cer's time, but in the case of organ izational equipment, such as office furniture, office machines, tents, certain items of specialized cloth ing, and the like, a great deal of mon ey is saved through the repairing of turned in articles. For example, two worn-out tents may have enough good sections to make one good shel FOR SALE! Baby Chicks MOORE Grocery Co.
