ii. Sergeant Majors Office File Room PUST Lett to right: Lt. Wilson, Capt. Layton, Capt. Tatum, Maj. Waters, Lt. Vanderslice, Lt. Col. Russell, Capt. Parlcs, Maj. Willner, Lt. Sim- mons, Lt. Armiger, Lt. Fleet, Capt. Hatcher. Lieutenant Colonel Raymond H. Russell, Post Adjutant, signs official communications and papers in the name of the Commanding General, and authenticates, reproduces and distributes Post General and Special Orders as well as all directives which apply directly to the proper functioning of Post organizations. Assisted by Major Lynn S. Wiaters, he has complete jurisdiction over the processing of all incoming and outgoing mail and the classifying of documents as to their content and nature. ln the Post Central Files are kept a copy of all important documents and records issued from Headquarters, While the Message Center acts as a general clearing house for the distribution of all communications to the units located on the Post. Over 600,000 pieces of mail are handled during a peak month by the Fort Bragg Postal Section, one of the most important activities to come under the jurisdiction of the Post Adjutant. Operated by a staff of l7 persons, under the supervision of Major A. J. Willner', Post Postal Officer, and Cap- tain Ernest lt. Hatcher, this section performs the many functions of the Army Postal Service and coordinates the activities of 37 message centers scattered throughout the Post. Perhaps its most valuable contribution to the personnel of the Post is the maintenance of the Directory Service, where, by means of locator cards, is kept the correct present address of each organization and of each individual. Through these locator cards the eur- rent addresses of all individuals and units trans- ferred from tlw Post to other stations are kept for a period of two years. During an active month over 90,000 change of address cards were com- pleted. Schools for Unit Mail Clerks, which are conducted periodically by the Postal Otticer, have an average attendance of 300 officers and enlisted INCH.
