INAME DEFENSE

TRAINING CHIEF

Greene Relieved of Post at Tech High to Give Full Time to Work.

Edward E. Greene last night was appointed director of defense training in Indianapolis schools by the School Board and relieved of duties as Tech High School vice principal. Previously, Mr. Greene had held both positions but the defense program has expanded so rapidly, recently being granted additional Federal funds to purchase more machinery, that it was deemed advisable for him to devote all his time to these duties. ° Joseph Kettery, Tech mathematics department head, was named acting vice principal, and A. M. Welchans, mathematics instructor, was advanced to department head. Jacob L. Jones, chairman of the} Tech building trades department, was promoted to co-ordinator, filling the position formerly held by Herbert Kessel, now office of Production Management co-ordinator in the City.

Teachers Appointed

The Board authorized a $300,000 tax anticipation loan to finance school expenses until collection of the 1940 levy and named seven new teachers. They are: Shortridge’ High School; M. White, industrial arts; John J. Swearington, mathematics, and John Reddick, auto shop, Tech; Shelby S. Shake, industrial arts, Washington High School; Dorothy Moulton, physical education and mathematics, School 35, and Katherine Jane Robins, art, Schools 15 and 12.

Byron Moss, biology,

Resignations accepted were: Carl

Nickenson, ‘Howe High School; Martha B. Stafford, social service visitor; Victor Graves and Rosemary Dunaway, Washington, and Martha Supple, Manual Training High School.

Approve Defense Bids

A five-months leave of absence was granted Theresa M. Carroll, School 7. Bids totaling $40,363.22 for national defense training machinery and shop equipment were approved. Janitor appointments approved were: Luther B. Nix, School 44; Oliver Grigsby, Broad Ripple High School; John H. Thompson and Chester H. MacKenzie, Manual Training; Russell E. Clapper and Arthur E. Fletcher, Tech; William V. Rider, Shortridge, and Lonzo

A Day, Keeps

In planning extension of postal 8} service to the hundreds of new

.JArmy camps springing up through-

out the country, the Postoffice Department experts fi d that the average draftee would write home twice a week. The department, however, underestimated the writing ability of the average draftee, because he writes a letter home about every day. This is the word from C. B. Uttley, chief of the Postoffice Service Division, the man who is responsible for getting the mail to and from the Army camps. Mr. Uttley, who is here to discuss postoffice problems with the National Association of Postal Supervisors, said the shifting of persons to new concentrations—Army camps and defense areas—has been a big problem for the Postoffice Department but that the “mail is going through” regularly and without delay to all camps and to outlying|¢ bases and possessions — including Iceland. Get Mail to Iceland

He declined to discuss mail deliveries to Iceland in view of the recent U-boat attack on a mailcarrying destroyer, thé Greer, other than to say “the boys up there are getting plenty of word from home.” Because of the high importance attached by the War and Navy Department to morale value of prompt mail service to young men away from home, the Postoffice Department has been -allocated additional funds, and has been declared a defense agency to concentrate on the mail service to the armed forces, Mr. Uttley said. For a while, Mr. Uttley admitted, the new camps springing up created new “pressure areas” that kept his department jumping to keep up with the mail, but its all running smoothly now, Even while on maneuvers, Uncle Sam's soldiers are followed by postal workers with bags of mail, which

are delivered at the first moment when the troops pause from their marches and “battles.” To do this, Mr. Uttley said, postal workers are informed of the strategic “battle” situation in advance as far as possible, so that the mail clerks can meet the troops in their bivouac areas. The reason for the great abundance of letters flowing from the Army cantonments, Mr. Uttley believes, is due to the fact that most of the selectees have never been away from home before.

Serves Since 1907

“The old Army man—the regular —writes maybe once in two weeks” he said, “but once a day isn’t often for the new soldier.” On mail service in general, Mr. Uttley said that mail service continues “after a fashion” between the United States and all the belligerent countries in the world, including Germany, ' “The mails come and go by devious routes oftentimes” he said, “and; there may be delays, of course, but I wouldn't say that service has been completely blocked off between America and any country.” : Mr. Uttley, who is sort of “personnel .director” and head of service for the vast postal system; entered the postal service in Indian territory—Muskogee, Okla.—in 1907. Later that same year Oklahoma became a state and he remained there as an employee until 1920 when he became a postal inspector. In 1933 he was in charge of the San Francisco Division of the Postal Inspectors Departinent, and was elevated to his present position in 1934.
