trying to fly alone to France:
She landed at Lympne Airport to
take on gasoline. When she was

wheels So she tried to take off
without assistance. She tightened
the hand brake of the aircraft and.
with no one in the machine, gave
the propeller e twist herself.
The engine took hold, but the
brake didn’t. Miss Woodward
clung to a strut. She couldn't stop
the little craft and, dragging her

Benefits Forecast
For Future Gls
A prediction that the federal gov-

education benefits for any future

Oddly, his deputy is earned Love-
less, too. She is Reba Jo Loveless,
but no kin.
She started a unique practice in
the superintendent’s office which
may adorn door frames with coins.
It begun when she demonstrated
what "stick-tax", a convenient sub-
stitute for thumb tacks, would do
to post bulletins. She stuck a penny
to the wall facing. Then others of-
fered pennies, then quarters, half
dollar* and dollars Now the door
sides and lintel are “tracked" with
the coins — and being added to.
No one who visits the office fails to
ask “How's it done?" or "Why?"
In the collection are numerous pen-
nies and a silver dollar.
Loveless has been superintendent
for several years. Before taking his
present post he was head of the
Novice schools, which grew rapidly
under bis supervision.
