Elizabeth M. Cordes of Fredericksburg is Post Tailor at the Dugway Proving Grounds in Tooele, Utah. She also holds the position of soldier-WAC counselor, chief trouble shooter, and barracks morale builder, besides being the first and only tailor in the Women's Army Corps.
The story of how "Tex" as Elizabeth is popularly known at Dudway, happened to become the first WAAC tailor goes back to her life in Fredericksburg where she lived with her mother. Here Elizabeth took an active in interest in the life of the town, sewing for social affairs and working for the Red Cross, Elizabeth was the Volunteers Service chairman of the local chapter of the Red Cross and as the war progressed, she became increasingly absorbed in the work of the Chapter. It was a national step for her to enroll in the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps where she felt she could be of greater service.
On February 15, Elizabeth began her basic training at Ft. Des Moines, Iowa. A little older than the other girls, Elizabeth claims now that nothing was ever harder for her than those first weeks of basic. Nevertheless, she looks back on those weeks with pleasure, considering them one of the most valuable experiences of her life. Before long her officers had noted her ability to adjust herself and after the completion of her training, Miss Cordes was sent immediately into "the field" the aim of all WAC's.
"Tex" really enjoys her life in the Army and was one of the first WAACS at Dugway to sign into the WAC. Tailoring for the whole Post really keeps her busy; but life for Tex, with her own particular ability to get around, has its lighter side too. Tex has found that mending pants, especially if they include those of a visiting two star general, can be a very interesting experience.

Easter Sunday morning found a happy family reunion in the home of Alfred Neffendorf when his 19 year-old son, Daniel Neffendorf, Navy carrier-based torpedo plane gunner arrived here for a 30 day leave. Dan had been in combat duty since last October aboard a U.S. Navy Carrier in the Philippine, Leyte, Luzon and of late at Iwo Jima, in the Pacific Island campaigns. In February he underwent an appendectomy while his ship was in port. The next day following the operation his ship shoved out of port into battle areas and during his recovery from the appendectomy Dan saw no action in the aerial battles with Jap planes, but as he stated, he "sweated it out" on board the carrier while enemy planes were attacking.
The young Navy air crewman is a graduate of Fredericksburg High School, 1942. He enlisted in the Navy in September, 1943, and received training at San Diego, Calif., Norman, Okla., Purcell, Okla., and at Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Following a short leave at home in August last year he went overseas in September and by the following month had joined a combat outfit which had already seen considerable action in the Pacific waters. Events moved rapidly from that time on and Neffendorf and his crew were constantly on the alert and oftentimes out on duty. On one occasion his plane which is known as the Grumen Avenger "Torpedo" plane, crashed onto the decks of the carrier, the plane splitting in half. None of crew were injured in this crash, however. Several times his plane came back with numerous flak and enemy machine gun bullet holes, but as good fortune would have it, none of his crew mates or he himself ever sustained an injury while in combat action.
Upon completing his present leave, Neffendorf will report to the Norman, Oklahoma, Navy School for a six-months special course of instructions.
