HE National Aeronautics Coun-
cil has just launched a movement
to teacb aviation in its various
branches to thousands of young
men and women, under the guid-
ance of recognized experts who are
officials of civilian flying services
as well as ranking officers or ex-
oificers of the Army and Navy
The individual cost will be nomi-
nal—-only twenty-five cents a week.
The- plan has in mind the many
youths who are enthusiastic on the
subject of becoming pilots or seek-
•tig careers in airport work or air-
plane manufacturing, but who can-
m>t afford a flying school course,
or who are in localities where avia-
tion training schools are not avail-
able it aims to present by mail
the numerous preparatory steps in
'ground school” work and empha-
sizes* the point that a flying as-
oiranr must learn a great many
things on the ground before being
fitted to sit at the controls of a
plane
General James E. Fechet, retired,
formerly Chief of Air Corps, U. S.
Army, heads the Editorial Board.
Captain Holden C. Richardson, for-
merly with the Bureau of Aeronau-
tics, U. S. Navy, and who piloted
the famous NC-3 on its trans-Atlan-
tic flight in 1919, is one of the ad-
visory experts for naval aviation.
Dr. Alexander Klemin, chairman of
the Engineering Department, Daniel
Guggenheim School of Aeronautics,
New York University, is in ad-
visory capacity for civil aviation.
Coordinating the work of these and
numerous other experts, as general
editor, is Don Ryan Mockler, well
known throughout the aviation in-
dustry for the part he has played
in its astounding growth. Among
those who will contribute the bene-
fit of their varied experience in the
form of lectures and specialized in-
struction q,re Col. Harold E. Hart-
ney, who was commander of the
First Pursuit Group, A.E.F.; Col.
Roger Q. W ..lams, pioneer trans-
Atlantio pile; R. W. Schroeder,
vice-president, United Air Lines;
Dr. Jean Piccard,, professor of aero-
nautical engineering, University of
Minnesota, and some si^ty other
aviation executives and experts.
Many enthusiasts who do not as-
pire to become army pilots (per-
haps because of age or slight physi-
cal defects) nevertheless may find
the job they would fit in the hum-
ming atmosphere of the private or
commercial airport. They may get
the fundamental knowledge re-
quired for airplane engineering, de-
signing or production department
personnel, or for aerial photogra-
pher, radio operator, or some forty
other jobs about the flying field.
More than 1,500 photographs, charts
and diagrams will have to be
studied by the students in the
course of mastering some 1.028
lectures; likewise air photos and
working maps of the twenty-four
principal American airports and
others. All of these, however, are
to be clearly and painstakingly ex-
plained in simple phraseology as
are more than 3,000 cages of in
struction text.
Aviation authorities estimate that
900,000 or more trained men and
women will be absorbed by civil
and government air branches with-
in the next twelve months. Par-
ticulars may be obtained from, and
applications for the course made
with, the National Aeronautics
Council, Instruction Department,
37 West 47th St., New York, N. Y.
The windstorm, accompanied ;
by rain, did considerable damage
last Saturday afternoon.

mounted to half an inch, the sec-
ond rain since before harvest. On
the Saturday before .the rain mea-
sured 1.05 inches.
A tent show here last Saturday
was badly damaged by the wind.
Southeast of town heavier dam-
age is reported than in any other
area. Marvin Hodges had the roof
of his house blown off. Chicken
house, brooder house, and garage
were wrecked. Water soaked the
contents of his house after the
storm. Byron Hodges lost a wind-
mill, brooder and turkey house, I
and damage was done to his barn
and machine shed. ,
David Hodges had about 75 ft.
of cow shed blown down, as were
the walls of his machine shed.
Tom Pool suffered the loss of his
chicken house and W. D. Collins
had his granary badly damaged.
The top of the granary on the
farm of Mrs. Hugh Edwards was
blown off, and many others suf-
fered small losses in sheds, barns,
and out buildings.
