SAN ANTONIO. Texas, March 29
Aviation recruits have been arrivinf
at the Camp Kelly aviation field late
ly at the rate of 1,000 a day to fill th*
places of men who already have quail
fied for the flying and mcchanica
needs of the aviation service and beer
advanced further toward the front.- As
fast as the men arrive they are organ
ized into squadrons and their prepara
tion for overseas service is rushet
rapidly.
The recruits come from widely sep
arated places, but most of them art
from Columbus barracks, Columbus
Ohio; Jefferson barracks, St. Louis
Mo.; Fort Slocum, New York; Jacksor
barracks. New Orleans and Fort Lo
gan, near Denver, Colorado.
Men of all trades are received ai
this camp and fitting the right man ir
the right place is one of the big prob
lems officials have to face, in this
: section of the signal corps, men ol
many trades are used In training ac
tivities and in keeping the flying ma
chines in tip-top condition Among
' them are the following;
Automobile repairers, armorers
' barbers, blacksmiths, bricklayers, bu
1 glers, boat builders, cabinet makers
canvas workers, carpenters, ehauf
feurs, clerks, cooks, coppersmiths
cordage workers, draftsmen, drill ser
geants, electricians, engine appren
tices, engine testers, engine repair
men, first sergeants, instrument re
pair men, lithographers, meeanicians
for airplanes, mess sergeants, metal
, workers, magneto repair men, motor
cycle riders, motor truck repair men,
moulders, packers, propeller testers,
radio operators, tent riggers, saddlers,
sailers, vulcanizers, acetylene welders
i|<ind skilled and unskilled laborers.
One man who arrived here recently
j gave his trade as a “butter cutter" and
j said he was one of the best butter
.... — — ll_i'JL I .
cutters that ever cut butter. jj
Another gave his trade as a “ham- -
boner.” He said he was not much on I
I
a trombone, but he “could make 'em g
sit up and take notice with a ham- |
bone.” A “hamboner," it proved, was f
a graduate at packing houses who was g
expert in the use of a cleaver.
Another recruit said his business[;
was that of a cocoanut cracker. His g
business had been to drive a sharp in
strument into the eye of a cocoanut s
and pour out the milk, after which ho g
would crack the nut and remove tlie
meat. Still another gave his occupa- fi
tion as a “whistle blower.” He came;;
from the lumber district of the north-j g
west where he gave the signals lor re- s
leasing logs in the stream.
Camp Kelly is facing a shortage ofl ■
tent material and as a result many g
men are not being sent direct to the;v
camp upon their arrival but are boused
here until room is made for them. To
take care of all recruits, it would be
necessary to house nine men in a tent.;
Tiie surgeon general would not per
mit more than five men to be assigned ;
to one tent.
Aviation instruction is probably the f
most important instruction given to|g
recruits in any branch of service train-; I
ing in Texas. Now mechanics arrive g
at the various camps almost weekly,
lit is said a good supply of Liberty |
motors is being sent to Texas i s
