White Falcon needs
your cooperation
The White Falcon, like other
base activities, is suffering
from a shortage of personnel and
must alter some of its present
policies.
Those departments or commands
having personnel reenlisting, be-
ing promoted or receiving awards
are requested to help by having
the men come to the White Falcon
office to be photographed and to
furnish information for use in
the paper. This will free news-
paper staffers from the time con-
suming telephone calls and run-
ning around to get information.
Also, if your unit has a story
to tell the paper is always look-
ing for feature material to bet-
ter inform its readers.
