HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

Sioux Falls, largest city in South Dakota, is located at the falls of the Sioux river, named after the warlike Sioux Indians and called by them “Te-han-kas-an-data” or “Thickly-wooded-river.”

White men found this part of the country occupied by the Dakotas, the most powerful member of the great Sioux family. Here these hard-riding, hard-fighting Indians hunted buffalo and battled intruders. Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse were among their great war chiefs; Custer’s Massacre is their best known victory over the white men.

Sioux Falls was first settled in 1857, but after the Sioux Massacre in southern Minnesota in 1862, it was abandoned until 1865 when Fort Dakota was established at this site. The present city dates from the coming of the soldiers who afforded protection for pioneer settlers.

The Technical School, Sioux Falls Army Air Field, adjoins the residence part of Sioux Falls on the northwest. Started in the summer of 1942, it is one of the largest training schools of its kind anywhere.

TECHNICAL SCHOOL INFORMATION

POST HEADQUARTERS—Post Headquarters is only a short distance from the entrance at Gate No. 1, and is easily recognized by means of the large flag pole in front. Here are the offices of the Commanding Officer, Executive Officer and Adjutant, as well as S-1, S-2, S-3, S-4, Message Center, and Administrative Inspector.

BUILDING NO. 2—Situated next to Post Headquarters, this building houses the Post Judge Advocate, Classification, Legal Aid Department and the Historical Department.

SPECIAL SERVICE OFFICE—Is located in Building No. 13 and it is here that a multitude of activities are sponsored for the welfare and entertainment of the enlisted men and WACS. Also located in the same building are the Post Chaplain’s Office, Post Broadcasting System, Public Relations Office and the Personal Affairs Division, which includes War Bonds, Insurance, Legal Aid, and Army Emergency Relief. It is through the Person Affairs Division that assistance is provided military personnel and their dependents in securing employment, re-employment, education and vocational rehabilitation. Each squadron has a Special Service Officer who should be contacted by all those interested in sports, orchestras, glee clubs, acting and other recreational activities.

SERVICE CLUB—The Service Club is the center of recreation for enlisted personnel and their guests. It is on Algonquin Avenue between Gate No. 1 and Post Headquarters. The main salon is used for dances, band concerts, shows, and broadcasts. Included in the club are a cafeteria, snack bar, and soda fountain, a game room, a balcony which is used for letter writing and a library with more than 8,000 books. There also is a public telephone center on the second floor off the balcony with operators in attendance during the busier hours. Another telephone center with operators is located in Mess Hall No. 4—Building 845. Guests can be taken to the Service Club when proper arrangements are made. (See page 24 for pass procedure)

Other entertainments, such as USO camp shows and personal appearances of movie and radio stars, are frequently provided. Time schedules and programs are announced in the Daily Bulletin, the Post newspaper, “The Polar Tech”, and over the Post Broadcasting System. The theatres are located in Buildings 73 and 23.

YOUR TELEPHONE SERVICE

TELEPHONE CENTERS—Camp telephone centers are located off the balcony of the Service Club and in Building No. 845. In these centers, skilled telephone operators are on duty during rush hours to help you with your calls. These operators will take your calls, make change, and help you in looking up telephone numbers. This assistance will be of special advantage to you in making calls to faraway places. The same service is also offered at the Main Avenue USO.

At all three centers, a file of telephone directories is maintained for reference. Lounge facilities are provided and information is furnished regarding bus and railroad schedules, sports, shows, dances and other like events.

LOOK FOR THE BLUE BELL SIGN—Other public telephones are in day rooms, mailrooms, orderly rooms and other convenient locations ... marked by the familiar Blue Bell sign.

TO MAKE A LONG DISTANCE CALL

Every effort is being made to provide the best possible service on your calls but many long distance lines are so heavily loaded with calls that we may not be able to get them through promptly, especially during the busiest hours. Moreover, more lines to meet increased needs can’t be added now because the materials it would take must go to make war weapons and munitions.

The following information is furnished to help you place your calls and get them through as quickly as possible. Whenever you call, you can be sure that we will do everything we can to get your call through.

STATION-TO-STATION CALLS—When you will talk with anyone available at the telephone you call, please give the operator the desired place and number (if you have it), for example. “Acton, Illinois, Main 2324.”

You can find telephone numbers of persons in many cities and towns in the out-of-town directories in the Telephone Centers. If the directory you want is not there and you do not have the number, give the operator the name and address and tell her you will talk with anyone at the telephone there.

PERSON-TO-PERSON CALLS—When you want to reach a certain person, please give the operator the desired place, the number if you have it, or can obtain it from out-of-town directories available, and the name of the person wanted, as “Acton, Illinois, Main 2324, Mrs. E. R. White.”

MAKE SURE OF RATE BEFORE CALLING—When making a long distance call from a public telephone, it helps to know what the rate is and to have the necessary change ready. Attendants at the telephone centers will give you information about long distance rates, assist you in placing calls, and collect charges. From other public telephones, you can get the rate by asking the long distance operator. Also, there’s a list of rates to representative cities in the United States on the inside back cover of this handbook.

COLLECT CALLS—If you wish to make a call collect, tell the operator when you place the call and she will determine whether the charges will be accepted at the called telephone.

REDUCED NIGHT AND SUNDAY RATES—Every night from 6 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. and all day every Sunday, rates on long distance calls over distances of about 50 miles or more are lower than regular week-day rates.

PLAN YOUR CALLS AHEAD—To make sure you remember all the things you wish to talk about—and to save time and money—jot down the items you intend to mention. If you wish to spend only a certain amount on a call, ask in advance how many minutes it will pay for and limit your conversation to that time.

REMAIN NEAR TELEPHONE—After you have placed your call, if it cannot be completed at once, please stay nearby so you can be located quickly.

PLEASE BE BRIEF—Give the other fellow a break. All over the country, men in service are placing long distance calls. If conversations are brief, more men can get their calls through.

DON’T LOSE YOUR NICKEL—Public telephones here are operated on a “post-payment” basis; that is, the coin is not deposited until after the operator completes the connection for you. Give the operator the number first, and do not insert the coin until she asks you to.

CALLS TO ORDERLY ROOMS—To call a squadron orderly room from off the Post, ask the Sioux Falls information operator for the number of the public telephone there and call that number, as use of Post telephones in orderly rooms is restricted.

TELEPHONE CALLS FOR YOU—If you expect relatives or friends to call you, please make sure that they have your complete mailing address, including your barracks building number, the telephone number at which you can be reached, and any other information which will be helpful in reaching you. Generally, however, it works best if you place the call instead of having them call you because changes in the schedules of camp life often make it difficult to get in touch with you promptly when attempting to complete a call to you.

TELEGRAMS—To send a telegram over a telephone, just call “Western Union”, give the message to be sent and deposit the telegraph charges in the coin box as requested.

ADDRESSES

Please Be Brief—Give Others a Chance to Call

NOTES

VISITOR’S PASS PROCEDURE—The issuance of passes to visitors is under the direction of the Provost Marshal who maintains a Pass House for this purpose at Gate No. 2 (Soldier’s Gate). If possible, the soldier and visitor must be present at the Pass House when the pass is issued. However, if it is impossible for the soldier to be present he can make arrangements with one of the Service Club hostesses to get a pass for his visitor. The pass must be retained by the visitor and returned to the Pass House at the completion of his visit, after being signed by one of the Service Club hostesses.

Persons desiring to stay at the Guest House are issued a three-day pass upon request of a Service Club Hostess. This pass is also returned to Pass House upon completion of visit.

The following charges are for three minutes, including tax, on Station-to-Station calls from Sioux Falls between 6 p.m. and 4:30 a.m. or on Sunday. Rates for Person-to-Person calls and Day Station-to-Station calls are somewhat higher.

Rates and taxes are those in effect May 1, 1944

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm

Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org

This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
