In Air Corps
The Air Corps has a great appeal
to many county men entering the
service. Radiomen, photograpdiers,
: mechanics and fliers are needed
| and to this call Wheeler County
men have responded in force.
In the air you’ll find Lieut. Gail
Young, son of Mr. and Mrs. Grady
Young of this city, who won his
wings last November. Stationed at
Mather Field near Sacramento,
Cal., Gail is a pilot for a navigation
school where students learn to read
maps and charts.
Lieut.
GARY, Ind.—Glider troops may
soon be included among the many
fighting units of the United States.
Headed by Lt. Col. Vernon M.
j Guymon, daring flier and winner of
the Navy Cross, Croix de Guerre
with bronze star and citation, of-
ficers have been conducting a ser-
ies of glider flights at the Mortor-
less Flight Institute here.
Tire motorless planes have passed
the preliminary stages of their de-
velopment and military experts have
been experimenting with them for
a considerable period with a view
that tile craft has valuable mili-
tary possibilities.
Two outstanding features of glid-
ers for warfare use are their silent
approach to objectives and that they
require no fuel. Some gliders have
flown over 465 miles to 22,400 feet
above their starting point.
It is believed that officers, with
the cooperation of commercial glide.'
pilots, may set up motorless flight
schools.
Capt. Eschol M. Mallory, who re-
cently completed a period of glider
flight training and study here, has
piloted motorless planes launched by
winches, automobiles and pulleys.

Just A Reminder—
■
I Pvt. Jack Leith is attending an
advance air mechanics school at
Staten Island, N. Y., after com-
pleting his first course at Chanute
Field, Chicago, recently. Jack is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Leith
of this city and enlisted in the air
corps last June,
Pvt. Lyman Benson is stationed
at Sheppard Field, Wichita Falls,
and is taking an air corps mechan-
ics course. He is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. R. Benson and enlisted Jan-
uary 3. You can see from Lyman’s
smile he’s pretty happy being a
member of Uncle Sam’s armed for-
and a grandson of Mr. and Mrs. J.
L. Newton of Lela. Glenn has been
stationed at Sheppard Field, Wich-
ita Falls, since January 5.
An Aviation Cadet attached to
Squadron 18-A at the U. S. Naval
Air Station, Corpus Christi, was car-
rying out exercises in navigation
aboard a huge patrol bomber. After
a series of confused and involved
calculations, he turned suddenly to
his pilot and said, “Take off your
hat.”
“Why?” asked the pilot.
“Because, according to my calcu-
lations, we are now in the Corpus
Christi Cathedral.”
When Raymond "Pig” Chance used
to hold that line for the Irish foot-
ball team, the opposing squad h/’’
no little trouble in gaining ground.
“Pig” is down at the Panama Ca-
nal with the U. S. army, engineer-
ing corps, and we betclia if the Japs
take a whack at the canal they’re
going to be mighty surprised whC.
that old Irish spirit gets rolling!
"Pig” is the son of Mr. and Mrs. B.
F. Chance.

We’re ALL soldiers and in
the army NOW. And that
means new responsibilities.
For us, our salesmen no
longer blithely offer you this or
that appliance. We must advise that you take good care of
your electric refrigerator, your washing machine, your
sweeper, radio, food mixer, and every other appliance. The
factories that make these marvelous time and labor-saving
servants are being turned to the manufacture of war mate-
rials. Be good to these appliances—and they’ll be good to
you.
It is true that meats shrink less and vegetables lose less
of their vitamins with electric cooking. It is true that there
is less food spoilage with electric refrigeration. It is true
that the electric washing machine, the sweeper, and the
food mixer all have greatly relieved women
of tiresome, unnecessary household drudgery
and save time and energy for wartime work.
And it is true that both workers’ and chil-
dren’s eyes show less strain when the light-
ing is good.
So, as soldiers fighting for our American
way of living, it is our duty to provide elec-
tric Service for all these things which are nor-
mal } peacetime and imperative in wartime.
H .fee, (ft is proper also to urge that you
epv your electric appliances in good condi-
in ... get longer wear out of them.
_ Whenever needed, ask the advice of our
servicemen. They, too, are in the war ... ren-
dering an essential service.
In the radio division of the air
corps is Pvt. Ray Finley, son of Mr.

He is taking his course at Scott
Field, 111., enlisting last November,
and expects to finish March 1. Ray

year after graduation from the lo-
cal high school in 1936.
Pvt. Max Scoggins, son of M'. L.

COLLEGE Station—The farm-
ers of Texas, in general, are getting
their equipment in order for the
production job ahead, but in most
areas of the state farmers still need
to order more repair parts.
This was indicated by a survey
just completed by the Texas USDA
War Board in which county boards
were asked to determine the status
of the farm machinery repair pro-
gram throughout the state.
The survey indicates that farmers
and dealers already have ordered a
great many more parts than by the
same date last year, B. F. Vance,
state board chairman, declared.
County board estimates of the per-
centage increase in number of parts
ordered ran as high as 300 percent,
although most counties reported in-
creases ranging from 25 percent to
75 percent.
At the same time, the reports in-
dicated that in only a few counties
have farmers ordered all the repair
parts needed. About half the state’s
counties reported difficulty in ob-
taining parts, while only thirty
counties reported delays in the re-
pair program because of a shortage
of machines, welders, or blacksmiths.
“We must have all farm equip-
ment in shape in ample time to
avoid serious breakdowns at criti-
cal moments,” Vance pointed out.
“Production is what counts and any
slowdown of production by break-
downs which could have been avoid-
ed is inexcusable. The thing to do
is to order repair parts now so as
to be ready for any emergency.”

ASSET. Let’s
KEEP IT Up to
VICTORY
STANDARD!
The car owner who has his repairing
done now is doing both himself and
Uncle Sam a favor. Watch your car,
and keep it moving.
BATTERIES are a big item in our fight
for Victory. That’s why car owners
are being asked to take care of the ones
they have. If your battery shows signs
