Snap Roll A magazine, "Snap Roll," was published by and for the Minter Air Field soldiers on a weekly basis. The first issue was published June 30th, 1943 and ended at November 1st 1945 due to previous writers transferring as the war came to an end, and fewer people wanted to work for Snap Roll. The magazine often included the weekly Army wive's activities, a sports page, and a 2 page paper focused on a topic from war, to something going around the on Minter field. There were weekly reports from several divisions, several war bond fundraisers, events held by the USO, and holidays. The magazine also recorded the fact that there was segregation ongoing when building a separate pool. |
