By August 1, this will be one of the busiest air fields of any kind in the world and the world's his tory. By that date, tl.e greatest alri transport operation known to man is scheduled to reach its peak: the flying of about 50.000 troops month ly by the Army's Air Transport Command from the Kuropean.and Mediterranean theatres to the United States f. or discharge or transfer to the Pacific . or impo!,sibie t0 obtain eseWhere Of that 50,000, some 10,000 will I AMUSEMENT AMPLE be flown by the North Atlantic I Fllr1tu.r, ,ney haw ,htil. ,1WII rout. About 11.000 more will be ! ,.Ul0 an1 ,.,ubhouse, wlu,rt. ,,.v flpwn a middle route from Casa- j ,.an ,mld d8MW) and 0ber S(.jal blanca in French Morocco, to 1 functions Mlfnli I The colonel emphatically be- The remaining 29.000 - or near-. ev,,s ,ha a happv porsonm., ly 60 per cent of the total number j viUans !md lnllitarVi ,)r))(lluvs ,he -will be brought across by the bes, resuts Accordingly, in ad lower South Atlantic and Carlb-1 dmn , navig firM livlg wlu. bean route JOBS VARIED There are only six Puerto Riean officers and 46 Puerto Hlcan en listed men stationed at the base.' There are several hundred Conti nental officers and men among the permanent base personnel. They are not, says the colonel, "a drop in the bucket." This leaves it largely up to the civilian workers to "run the base." They do much of the work in the S'10PS and hangars, operate the various messes, restaurants and clubs; run the great PX 'post ex change!, the laundry, the shoemak ing and repairing shops, the ice cream plant, barber shop, and many more base units. Colonel Reed, delighted at the I work the Island civilians are do ing, says there's no great trick to it all. He says one must first set up a long-range plan for the var ious operations, then establish high minimum standards, then "exercise a little patience" in training. Under such a plan, he says, it soon develops thai Puerto Rican workers are as good as those any where. CRACK SERVICE As an example,! he colonel called attention to one of the base's messes, where 620 persons are served a given meal in two hours and a half. The food, ample and de lirious, Is served "from cocktails to coffee" by just eight waiters. That means each serves an average of 77 persons. A Continental officer is in charge of the mess but everyone else, from chef and head waiters on down, is a Puerto Rican civilian. In the truly startling PX, which looks just like a Stateside depart ment store uf the best type, the only uniformed employes to be seen are the soldiers who man the censoring-mailing counter. An of ficer, naturally, is in over-all charge. FRUITFUL GARDEN In Borfnjuen's 85-acre garden, one year old and plainly Colonel Reed's joy and pride, Puerto Rican civilians again do the work, and with very happy results. Already ! the garden fills more than 50 "per cent of the base needs for fresh vegetables and fruits. As soon as 20 more acres ran be put into production, it is estimat ed that 100 per cent of this need will be filled. In some instances there are and there will be more surplus commodities to be mar keted elsewhere. Already, Bonn quen is thus supplied with fresh garden produce 365 days a year. From this plot of ground to hos pitals, messes and restaurants on the base go tomatoes, lettuce, cu cumbers, eggplant, carrots, rad ishes, sweet corn, watermelons, bananas, mangoes, papayas, limes, avocados and several other pro duce. OFFERS HELP In the garden's first year of ex istence 189,909 pounds of vegeta bles were produced and 2,248 fruit trees were planted. The base works with, the Agri cultural Experiment Station at Ma yaguez and with the Polytechnic Institute in planning crops and in dealing with other gardening prob lems. Careful records are kept on each step made, and Colonel Reed says he will be happy to have anyone who is interested study these rec ords, particularly if it will result ir improving the Island's food supply. As a matter of fact, he invites government leaders, business men 'and others to inspect any non-military phase of Borinquen life. "If they want to know how a store should be run," he said, "they're welcome to come here and see oar PX. Or if, for example, they care to see how restaurants can be operated efficiently, they're free to examine ours. Remember, it's Puerto Rico's own people who are doing all this work. 'SENDING 'EM' HOME' Cilonel Seed has a plan which works in most cases where his ci vilian employes fall down on their jobs or grow lazy: He "sends them home" for a week, or perhaps more. It is, in effect, a suspen sion. "Usually," he explains, "after the persons has sat at home a little while, thinking about the good food and nice bathrooms and other comforts and conveniences he's missing, he's glad to come back and straighten up." Most of the civilians come from territory close to the field Annrnvifnktalu 1 OifcO . if t tii.ni 11 ri .. ,h-1. ' Ulv, ,, - -. ... . . . . . . .. .... ... 5,000-acre base,' this being a high ly unusual concession for an Army post to make. Besides having ex cellent accommodations, which in clude electric refrigerators, and stoves, the civilians have their own ,..,.ir.wt with Hons, the base personnel has a cess to varied forms of amusement; clubs for everybody, an 18-hole golf course, mavie theatres, and courts or fields for many sports. Because of the nature of Borin quen Field, where hundreds are working, arriving or departing al all hours of the day and night, most sports fields are electrically lighted and play can go on any time. IDEAL LOCATION Borinquen is to be a permanent air base. Colonel Reed says, and all plans are made with that idea in mind. The officer is a strong booster of Puerto Rico's weather, which along with the Island's lo cation, whs responsible for a H-29 training program hnving been brought to Borinquen some time ago. "This is the only place I know of," says the base commander, "where you can set a flying sched ule for. say three months, and at the end of that time have it come out right on the nose. In the States you fall far behind in the winter and then get an overage of flying time in the summer." In commenting on the value of the field as a base for training crews to fly long distances over water, he says: ISLANDS EVERYWHERE "If you want to train men to My to an island 500 miles away and return, without passing over land well, you can do it from here. If you want an island 1.000 miles away for this purpose, you'll find it, too. "If you want to send them non stop thousands of miles, there's the ocean." Other than being used as the B-29 training base, Rorinqiien serves as the base for aircraft in the Caribbean area, is a supply and storage base, is a depot and over haul point, and is a shuttle point for large numbers of men.
