Just prior to entering active scheduled in the Post Chapel ERTC Officer Post to Have Page Five service in the Army he had turn ed his attention to the broader field of engineering and con struction, for which his earlier experience had prepared him. His study of the structural de sign of factory buildings and complete lay-out systems was followed by comprehensive re ports with recommendations for increasing efficiency in operation and production. Col. Mock is an associate mem ber of the American Society of Civil Engineers and a registered Professional Engineer and Sur veyor in the State of Ohio. The struggle of a valiant peo ple in the greatest battle of his tory, "The Battle of Russia,” is vividly portrayed in this fifth film of the Orientation Series now being shown on the post. The film accurately photographs the story of a “ people’s war” with the hated Nazi regime. Pictured is the German ag gression, the suffering of the Russians ,the Nazi rush across the 2,000 mile frontier, the at- t a c k s inflicting tremendous losses. Then the Red Army stif fened and they scorched their earth. “ The Young in Heart,” first legitimate stage presentation staged before a Camp Abbot audience, was greeted with warm applause when the Bend High School student body pre sented the three-act comedy at the Post theatre Thursday night. Although the play itself was not an ideal vehicle, being some what trite in plot and a little too shy of the risque element for the average soldier audience, members of the cast turned in performances of a quality not usually associated with high school dramatics.
