UNCLE SAM’S army command]
seems to have surrendered almost
unconditionally to aviation. Any-
The battle for Britain was almost
lost because England had none of
these giant four-motored planes with
which to fight back. We need thou-
sands of them and they are coming
off the assembly lines in our pro-
duction plants at a high rate of
speed today. You can help buy
these for your Navy by purchasing
War Bonds and Stamps every pay
day. Put at least ten percent into
Bonds or Stamps and help your
county go over its Quota.
Bkt For our fighting men,
for our country’s fu-
ture and for freedom
we must meet and
beat our county War
Bond quota and keep on do-
ing it.
Pick up your War Bonds and
Stamps on your second stop
in town... right after you’ve
sold your eggs, milk, poultry,
stock or grain. No invest-
ment is too small and no in-
vestment is too large .. . the
important thing is to buy
every time you sell!

j on metal household goods, we urge
you to keep your gas equipment in first class condition.
I. ROOM HEATERS: To store for the summer, remove dust
inside and out; wrap in newspapers and keep in a dry enclosed place.
. II. RANGES: Do not let food spill over (in top cooking, the
simmer-burner heat prevents this; in oven-cooking, careful handling
does it). Do not set hot vessels on the bare porcelain surface. (Use
cork mats.) Do not use the oven to heat the kitchen in cold weather
(prolonged heat will cut down the life of the oven walls). Do not
clean up the range while the enamel is warm. When it cools, remove
crumbs and spatters with a damp cloth. Do not over-cook foods. It
means wear and tear on the range, as well as on the groceries.

indispensible observers, frightfully
destructive raiders and, both as be-
tween themselves and, in certain
cases, as combatants against land-
lings and seamen. But they’ve
maintained that the skyhooters
can’t land in a country and occupy
it permanently, that they can’t
swoop down on distant targets
without carriers to take off from,
that they can’t transport supplies
in adequate quantities to keep a’
foreign invading force, under their
own colors,-, in action. (
Now, aviation development has
begun to deflate this idea.
Chairman. Donald M..Nelson of
(the War Production Board is es-
tablishing an Air Cargoes j com-
mittee that’ll evolve a plane equal
to carrying freight and ammunl-’
tion almost without limit—to any-
.where.
Heretofore a plane’s been'rated
as good for carrying a small crew,
and a few handfuls of bombs ade-!
quate~to fret a small spot on the'
landscape. Such raids have had
their morale ‘ effect, maybe—but1
not the military kind.
Yet a morale raid can have its
military reaction. a It’s obvious in
Japan.
Current dope is that U. S.'Avi-
ator Doolittle’s has given the Japs
the, jitters* True, they can slam
back at us. It’s predicted, But
we’re fireproof, if they drop
matches on our industries. Their
factories are as frameworkily com-
bustible as pine shavings.
But our planes?
Are they only homeopathic?
Or is warfare going to become
aviatorial almost exclusively?
• Aviation, apparently, is going to
turn over into freight trains and
carriers of big bodies of troops, to
be janded and ’’dig in.’’
Don Nelson’s objective v is T a
plane that can deliver up to 80
tons of supplies, military or what-
not, as far as 2,000 miles away
and in one-tenth the time required
for the stuff’s transportation by
any other means. It’s a financially
economical method of delivery, too..
Aerial Freight
But this isn’t a circumstance in
comparison with what is proposed
by Col. Edward S. Evans, once of
the quartermaster * corps, later,
president of the Lockheed com-i
pany, now head of the Evans Prod-1
uct corporation, well known as the
“father of aviatorial gliding ” Col-
onel Evans proposes aerial freight)
trains, with a flying locomotive in
front and three gliders coupled onj
behind each of ’em. • He Says hej
can make deliveries in about treble
the quantities. suggested by^ Nel-
son.”
Now,' those figures apply to mili-
tary merchandise.
Express it in terms of men!
Say these boys weigh 200 pounds
apiece—a pretty liberal allowance.
That means 2,400 fighters perl
train.-At such a lick of arrivals,]
they’d make a dent in any enemy,
on earth before long A And their
supplies would be accompanying!
'em, in ' supplementary freight
trains.
If the thing works out militarily
according to Hoyle, it’ll be inter-j
esting to watch what it'll do to
peacetime passenger and commer'l
cial transportation after the war.)

ley. There were 25 guests at the
wedding and reception. J. C. Jen-
nings of Wichita Falls, Mr. and

Mrs. George Leath Wednesday,
July 1st.
