Training Goal
Of 1,000 Fliers
Monthly Near
j
Pour-Fold Increase Dm
For Fiscal Year
Of 1942
WASHINGTON <U The army
air corps, striving to attain a
strength of 16,000 pilots within tfhe
next 16 months, estimates that it
wift fly a total of 5,300.000 hours
during the 1942 fiscal year, a four-
fold increase over the current
year.
Officials said that flying for the
fiscc-l year ending June 30, 1'941,
will approximate a total of 1,500
000 hours. The accelerated train-
ing rate, plus rapid deliveries of
equipment will result in a sharp
climb in flying activities, they
said.
Goal Soon to Be Reached
Authoritative quarters declared
the "goc-l" of training fliers at the
rate of 12.000 per year for a pro-
jected air force of 25,000 planes
-hould be reached within the next
three or four weeks. A plan for
ultimately having a 10 000 plane
force is under consideration, but
details as to how many additional
pilots would be trained hr.-ve nor
been revealed.
The scope of the increased fly
ing activities was revealed ajtot
Secretary of War Henry L. Stim-
.son said that flying "safety" had
increased "tremendously" since
the World War.

He mc.de the statement when
asked for comment on the recent
wave of fatal crashes. He note;:
that the rate of deaths had de-
creased heavily over the past 2u
years when compared to the num
ber of hours flown.
The current program envisages
a total of 166,000 enlisted men nd
16,000 officer-pilots in the air
jorps by July 1, 1942. Each pilot
must have 200 hours of flying be-
fore accepted, it was said. Experts
estimated that it requires 35 gat-
Ions of gasoline hourly to operate
an aircraft engine. Thus, they said,
each pilot w ould use & minimum of
7,000 gallons, if he used only a
single-engined craft during train-
ing.

.. .. So Why Be Primitive In
Selling Your Merchandise
Or Service?
TS FUN to cook over an open fire once in a while on an out-
ing. But no modern housewife would think of doing it three
times a day, especially when she knows how easily and economically
she can use up-to-date kitchen equipment.
YET there ARE firms which continue to handicap themselves just
as definitely — even in 1911 — by failing to utilize ADVERTISING,
the greatest force in modern selling. Patience is a commendable
trait, but the man who sits back and waits for business to come
unbidden to 4Ri ; door certainly is not to be complimented on his
PROGRESSIVENESS or his perspicuity.
