lantic air traffic that has just been
proved practical by the pioneering OF
the giant R-34 Yankee flylng-boat
builders are today forming powerful
construction combinations to fill the
skies with craft to carry the superseas
cargoes of the future. Though the
building of floating fleets to repre-
sent America on the high seas in the
world trade battle that is already be-
ginning, is vital undertaking Tor
the future, many men at TINS port pc
lieve that it, is even or great lmpoF-
lance to put this nation in he van IN
the flying field, that must surely be de-
yeloped commercially within the next
few years. Since the country that CON
trolls the air can ward Off war most ell

new state bureau for the registration
of dope addicts here has just begun
TO take it's census of those unfortu-

Tax Tryout.
That the terrific tax load OF the
people of this town will be made bear

does not practice economy in the next
few years, has just been pointed out
by economic experts who have been
studying this subject here. With an
added income tax to be piled upon
the growing state and local taxes, 1t

retrench in all it's expenses or drive
its people near civic bankruptcy, Since
such huge OUTLAWS as have been pro-
posed to begin building water power
plants, on top of the many millions re-
Quired to set the state roads in order,

taxpayers pocket, the people of this
town declare they will elect their rep

firing line of the forces enlisted to
fight heat and sickness off from
children. With half a million more
men, women and children swelling
last years mortality records, it is
urged that this campaign for the sur
Vival of the coming generation is most
vital postwar work. New York will
never rest in its activities along these
lines until every infant. caught in its
