FOR RICHMOND FIELD

The American Flying Club OF Vir-
einia went on record last night dur
ing It's session at the WestmoreIanJ
Club. az opposed To the edict of III.
War Department. calling FOR dismant.
ling of the Richmond intermediate Air
Depot. at the east end OF Fulton. for

The Flying Club will ally itself with
the Chamber OF Commerce i'm the fcht
to have the government continue
maintenance OF the station. other
local interests already have an
nounced their determination of re-
viewing the matter at Washington.
The Flying Club made n valiant at

Richmond which would serve both

time there was 4 report current the

Says Field IL Necessity.
Several well-known loca! flyers who

daring aerial exploits, expressed the
opinion last night that flying field
is an absolute necessity in Richmond.
They declared that with the possibil-
ity of the government later becoming
interested in Il local air station. the
loss of the supply depot would be Of
serious consequence to the city. 1t
also was cmpha sized that permanent
municipal flying field should be cs-
tablished without further parley and

T0CARE FORTH
 CH|L DRE N PER JAY
Neighborhood House Outlines Work For Next Year in
 Its Annual Appeal

The annual appeal for Neighbor- hood House was Issued Saturday to provide the necessary funds for the budget for the coming year.
 Neighborhood House during the past year has cared for an average of forty children per day and it costs approximately s1o0 year to mother a child at this institution. It Is es- timated that about S5,000 will be required to carry on the work dur ing the coming year.
 The appeal Is signed by Mrs. vic- tor H. Hanson, president and Mrs. Sterling J. Foster, vice president and request Is made that checks and con- tributions be sent to the treasurer. Mrs. Theodore Randolph, 1915 Wau- coma street.
 Knowing that it is our job to render this unique service. that you have delegated this board of drec- tors as your vicar to serve the chill dren of mothers who work during long hours for meager pay and have no leisure to mother them and tend them through the waking hours, It becomes common community task" tke appeal says.
 During last year Neighborhood House cared for an average of forty children daily-children of honest bread winners. This meant relief not only for the mothers of forty babies but oftentimes older children and grandparents physically unable to minister to them while the mother worked
 "Our purpose holds to increase the daily attendance to fifty. The field for this neighborly service is broad as Greater Birmingham, but the Neighborhood Houses are few. Ours must be as the candle shining Tn great darkness until other commit mites begin to serve their own in this fashion.
 By the grace of God and your support during the coming year. we will shield. safeguard and nourfsh fifty children for fifty mothers and their dependents

around his home, and Captain Taylor promptly agreed to furnish, and did furnish, patrols in and around the vicinity of Mir. Gentrys house at night and at no time was any mem Der of Mir. Gentry's family spoken to by any soldier or officer of the na- tional guard. It seems to us that this really makes MT. Gentry,s posi- tion in making his affidavit rather inconsistent and untrue. Mir Gentry stated after the injunction hearing to the commanding officer of the troops that since the arrests had started there was considerable nerv- ousness, and we agree with him. It was very noticeable that there was great deal of nervousness and we believe that most of the nervousness was due to the fact that great num- bers were apprehensive of their ar rest and are still in the same frame of mind, for the guilty have not all been arrested by any means.
 We have / at all times had the hearty cooperation and support of the sheriff's office, and we believe that Sheriff Hartsfield. whom we know to be courageous officer, will be glad to make statement to the public or to organized labor as to what he, as a law enforcement of ficer, really thinks of the activities of the national guard and the results they have obtained. The sheriff s office did not have sufficient force to detail men on the dynamitings and whippings and develop a case to where arrests would result.
 Tt is indeed a surprise to us how men who call themselves American citizens can come out and face the public In any kind of a public meet Ing when they are now under bond charged with crime. It is indeed an unheard of state of affairs when criminals publicly protest against being arrested.
 We do not say that the people who are behind this meeting have committed crime, but we do say that they have called the meeting because We have arrested people who have committed crime.
 Grand Jury the Place
 The grand jury has just ad- journed after strenuous session. If the national guard have been guilty of wrong doing this honorable body was the medium through which the shop crafts had redress. But they do not fight in any such manner they prefer to use prejudiced argu- ments of few of their more learned leaders and these leaders do not all ways present real facts to their less well informed bretheren. They talk of good citizenship and what we are doing toA: destroy it. Strange, is it not, that they did not think of this in August or September when good citizens were being beaten and Edynamite,l in thsir homes"

 The library has made out list of Christmas plays and stories for chill dren. The printed page affords the
 best medium for teaching the Christi
 mas spirit to the young Perhaps
 more, art and skill has been employed in the writing of Christmas stories for the young than In any other class for them. The greatest writers the world has ever known have con-

 parent may find more desirable ma teria1 for his children than in any other class known.
 Much of the value of Christmas is
 in the period before 1t. Then it is that the childs mind Is alive to every
 possibility that his imagination sug- gests. Good Christmas books direct that imagination along the proper lines. and inspire it to the best crea- tions of the child mind. The iibrary's list is just such list. No child could read any book in 1t
