Fcf! Beivoir Building
On Schedule Despite
Labor Shortage
'We Don't Take No for an
Answer' in Procurement,
Quartermaster Explains
Construction of 680 cantonment
buildings at Fort Beivoir, Va., 12
miles below Washington, is running
ahead of schedule despite an initial
shortage of carpenters and a cur
rent shortage of sheet metal work
ers and plumbers, it was learned
today
While cantonment projects in
many sections of the country are
running far behind original sched
ules, 11 new buildings that were
scheduled for completion at Belvair,
on January 3, were turned over to
the Army last night.
It was said that by Friday, when
14 additional buildings are due to
be finished, 39 structures will be
turned over to officials. Another
203 buildings scheduled to be ready
by January 3 are more than 70 per
cent finished.
First Group on Schedule.
The original group of 15 buildings
scheduled to be finished on Novem
ber 25 were completed on schedule
by the Charles H. Tompkins Co. of
Washington and already are oc
cupied by men of the 294th Depot
Engineer Company, the 56th En
gineer Shop Company, the 31st En
gineer Combat Company and Com
pany A of the 84th Engineer Regi
ment.
These troops are part of the
Regular Army increase under the
National Defense Act.
Maj. Oliver F. W. Cromwell, con
structing quartermaster, in dis
cussing the work at Fort Belvoir
declared today that "every one here
is on the ball. When a knot shows
up we find out whose bailiwick it's
in and he rolls up his sleeves and
goes after it.”
He said an initial shortage of
carpenters was overcome, while a
current shortage of sheet metal
workers and plumbers "is coming
along all right.”
F’ight for Materials.
Maj. Cromwell said Fort Belvoir
has had to fight for heating and
plumbing materials, like other can
tonments, but that when materials
are needed "we don’t take 'no' for
an answer. We send an officer to
the factory and he sits with the
president until our stuff is shipped.
"The manufacturers are having
a tough time meeting these sudden \
demands from so many cantonment
projects. However, every one here
wants to make our schedule on time
and we just won't let them turn
us down. We work from 12 to 20
hours a day in the office and we
intend to keep it up until the job
is finished—on time.”
Mrs. Marjorie Meurer

mrmbrance of our dear mother. GEOR
GIANA C. JORDAN, who passed away six
years ago. December 18. 1934.
It was in the early morning
Six years ago today
An ancel of death came down on earth
And bore our dear mother away.
Gone is the face we loved so dear,
Silent the voice we loved to hear;
'Tis sad but true, we wonder why
The best are always first to die.
