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.
