-Buy Bonds—
Attorney General Francis Biddle
swards prisoner in Atlanta prison a
certificate of merit for good work
in behalf of defense. Prisoner’s back
is toward the camera.
Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Spriegel
and Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Shaw
spent the week-end visiting in
San Antonio as the guests of Mr.
and Mrs. J. L. Fields.
Lonnie Yoder, son of Mr. and j
Mrs. Ben Yoder, was one of 171
Texans among the class of avia- \
tion cadets which recently check-
ed in at Perrin Field, for the sec-
ond stage of their instruction.
He steps from the 175-horse-
power primary training planes
into the speedier and more com-
plex 450-horsepower basic train-
ers. Instruction, too, becomes
more advance. As part of the
basic phase, future Army pilots
start cross-country, formation
and night flights, as well as acro-
batics and standard Army man-
euvers.
Following nine weeks at Perrin
Field, the cadets move on to ad-
vanced flying schools for a simi-
lar period, after which they re-
ceive their “wings” and commis-
sions as second lieutenants in the
Air Corps reserve.
Yoder received his primary
training at Hicks Field, Fort
Worth, before going to Perrin
Field.
