Americus bade goodbye today to
the cadets at souther Field. More than
seventy men in training for commits.
sions as flying officers lert on the 2:17
O'Clock train this afternoon for San
Antonio, Tex, where they will con-
tinue their training at Kelley Flying
Field until they receive their COM
missions as second lieutenants, when
they will receive their discharges. The
cadets have varying periods of time
yet to fly to complete their training,
ranging from a few weeks to three
months.
Two special cars we're provided for
the cadets by the Central of Georgia,
the cars being taken on at Aries. Their
baggage, however, sixty eight pieces,
was delivered to the station in Amer
icus and loaded here. The cadets
were busy all last evening and this
morning saying farewell to citizens
of Americus with whom they have
been associated for some time, and
among whom they had made many
close friendships. Many regrets were
expressed on both sides at the parting.
About fifteen cadets were left behind
at Souther Field, it was said this af-
ternoon, these being men who have all
but completed their required work and
who will be given their commissions
and mustered out here soon.
Several officers also left Souther
Field today for other posts where
they have been assigned, but num-
ber are still to be transferred and dis
charged. When the reduction Is com
pleted as ordered from Washington,
Colonel Dickman will have only ten
officers and about 200 enlisted men in
his command.

things which kept the Office force
'on the jump" from 500 a. m. to
$50 p. m.
The morning mail brought
eleven [11) letters and an ample
supply of periodicals. Among the
letters were three inquiries for
information about Americus and
Sumter county from people who
want to locate here. One of these
inquiries came from Quebec, Can
ada, another from North Carolina,
and a third from North Georgia.
Thirty-four (34) letters were
dictated and mailed; two (2) i'm
portant committee meetings were
held; more than rs people called
al the Office during the day; sew
eral applications for nitrate to be
supplied by the government to
farmers were filled out and filed;
newspapers scanned for items per-
tanning to Americus and Sumter
county, and these items clipped
and fled.
Over 25 telephone calls were an
swered and the following gives
an idea of the information called
for
One person wanted to know the
exact time of day; another the dis
tance from Atlanta to Chicago;
another the price of iron ore; an
other the elevation of Americus
above sea level; another the facts
about the "fu" situation; another
the weather outlook, etc, etc.
Besides all of the this, the sec
retary found time to drive ten or
twelve miles in the country on
important business in connection
with Souther Field, and called on
several business men regarding
the chamber.

ty, was called for O'Clock last night,
but a quorum was not present, and
no action could be taken, had it been
desired However, several members
gathered and the situation was thor
oughly canvassed with Dr. Bond.
The influenza situation in Sumter
county continues to show some i'm
provement in the way of a decrease in
the number of new cases reported by
physicians.
DR.. Bond stated today that, while
the situation is serious because of the
large number of people now i'll, and
the number of pneumonia cases de-
veloping, hope could be taken from
the fact that fewer new cases were
being reported. Today's reports from
physicians showed cases of pneu-
monia for yesterday, the highest num-
ber in one day in the present recur-
renee of influenza. Five deaths have
occurred in the last seven days, two
of them negroes. Two of the whites
were residents OF Americus.
