Judge of Going Slang
Army Taking Word of
Civilian Truck Men
Commercial truck owners who
»re taking every possible step to
Prolong the life nnd operating ef­
ficiency of their equipment will lie
heartened by the news that U. S.
Army motor maintenance units
Lave largely adopted the exacting
preventive maintenance methods
proved so effective by the nation’s
leading truck and coach fleet oper­
ators.
Army trucks must be ready at
all times to transport troops, move
munitions and supplies, pull big
guns and anti-aircraft equipment,
carry the brunt of moving our
armed forces. An army truck
breakdown is a breakdown in the
Very defense of the country.
Starting with trained drivers, the
army insists that its trucks be
lubricated every 500 miles, oil be
changed every 1,000 miles, and that
oil filters be checked at every lubri­
cation. These are simple Imsic pre-
cautions that are only the begin­
ning of a standardized preventive
service set-up which is character­
ised by constant checking of motor
vehicle operation — a "repair-
before - failure" servicing plan
founded on the axiom that “an
ounoe of prevention is worth a
(M>und of cure."
To assist in this big program of
preventive maintenance, the army
is now using expert civilian me­
chanics at Camp Adair and other
training camps. An even greater
job of army preventive mainten­
ance is living undertaken by certain
motor vehicle manufacturers to
train army men in correct pre­
ventive maintenance practices. An
A frantic sergeant at Sheppard
Field, Tex., called the post utilities
office during a heavy downpour
not long ago. “We’ve got a couple
of drips in the personnel office,"
he explained. “What can be done
about it?"
At the other end of the line,
another non-com thought a second,
then suggested: “Fire ’em, serge­
ant!”
Faithful Clerk Loses
Sight of Own Salary
After all, money isn’t everything.
That might have been the wise­
cracking answer of Corporal James
Jennings. But it wasn't. Corporal
Jennings, a company clerk, had
labored all afternoon on the com­
pany payroll.
At last every page was neatly
typed. As he surveyed the job,
content it was well done, his ser­
geant peered over his shoulder.
Only one small error did the ser­
geant point out — Corporal Jen­
nings had omitted his own name!
