American Folk Pilgrimages.
(New York Herald Tribune)

Hundreds of thousands of people would have to oo without pleasure of vacation travel if there were no wayside cabin camps. The plain hospitality of these places enables the family with small income ana inexpensive car to something of the world ID tWo-Weeks' vacation. New England and the Snenandoah can be toured at moderate cost because oi them In fact, there few tourist automobile routes nearby where cabin camps do not flourish The way to Florida is lavish with them and it is on the main-traveled routes to the West Coast no oouot that they flourish most luxuriantly
 In parts of the Southwest they expand to the umensons of small villages and take on the desgna- uoh auto court.

priations for training and equipment. I
 sincerely hope that any shortcomings of our
 Air Corps have been brought to the full
 knowledge of all concerned to the end that
 corrective steps may be taken by the proper
 authorities in providing a sufficient amount
 of modern equipment and sufficient num-
 Der of personnel for future air defense
 programs
 If this not accomplished by the experiment during the emergency then the greatest good that can come from it will have been lost. If the nations system of aerial defense is not going to be kept uptodate in every respect if the personnel manning it is not to be given adequate training, we had better shut up shop. The recent announce ment from Washington, however, that the Army will buy 1000 planes within the next year or two clearly indicates that the lessons derived from the Army's mail carrying have not gone unheeded.

THE ARMY PLIERS AS MAIL
 CARRIERS.

Last week the United States Army flers were returned to their regular stations after assignment carriers of aerial mail for Uncle Sam, detail that has kept them busy since February 19 last It will be sometime before a complete history of how they performed this task is written But con- sidering handcaps of planes unsuted to the tasks, their record is in keeping with the fine traditions of the Army Air Corps
 preliminary report issued from headquarters of the Western Zone Salt Lake City sets forth some of the achievements. More than 300000 pounds of mail carried during the 68 days in which the Air Corps operated the mail service in the Western Zone During this period of time approX- matey 6l5000 miles flown in actual mail carrying activities and distance nearly equal to this was covered in administrative flights training fights and the rapid transportation of supplies and personnel throughout the West in order to keep the organization running smoothly These combined distances equal to than 50 times around the world, carried out through weather conditions varying from ideal to the worst in the history of aviation Not life was lost in the Western Zone while mail being carried
 That this service will be of greater benefit to the nation than just in transporting the mails is indicated in comment made by Lieut. Col H. H. Arnold Zone Commander in charge of operations. At the close of the assignment he said:
 We have learned lot during the last two
 months from the standpoint of organization
 and efficiency of operations Our pilots have

 Harper left the room, intent on more thoroughly his most perishable clues-the foot prints in the snow. The winter sun was shining brightly and it needed but mild rise in temperature to dissolve the marks left by the va- rious visitors on the previous night.

row the news was received of the
passing away Of D. M. Dunwoody at
his home in Okeana last Sunday. He
had been i'll for five months following
a stroke of appoplexy.
"Uncle Dick" as he was affection
ately known by countless friends and
acquaintance, was one Of the best
known men in Butler county. He
served the county as commissioner
for four years and served it faith
fully and well. During his term in the
office and in all his acts he showed
extreme friendliness to organized la
Dor. He will always be remembered
for his CHEEKY and smiling disposition.
He was buried in Shandon Gene
terry, Wednesday afternoon, and the
great number who attended the burial
services and visited the home the
preceding day to view the remains
attest the great love and esteem in
