World Traveller Secured for Second COngrega-
 tiOnal Forum Sunday

Thomas Que Harrison, we'll known peace advocate and world traveller, will be the speaker at the forum of the Second Congrega- tional church Sunday evening at 1880 o'clock. Ills subject will be Peace and the Youth Movement of Today" Though q young man, Mir Harrison is one of the proph- etic voices of America.
 He graduated from college cum laude in 1919 and won state and interstate honors in debates, ora tory and extempore. Barely out of college, he became an international leader in the idealistic post war youth peace movements; travelled throughout a score of countries in North America, Europe and Asia; raised large budget, and launched the first world confer ence of youth peace. He is a speaker of unusual vigor and magnetism with the ability to in- spire both old and young with his enthusiasm and his faith in spiritual forces. His presentation is based on experience and knowl- edge and is thought-provoking and educatiOnally constructive.
 0ihSS oSptCbAUCkp 1SoSb SOHVhSOu that America's welfare lies at stake, Mir Harrison has geven him. self unremittingly to the Manchu- rian problew. He originated far-reaching Japanese-American friendship exchange, secured infiu. entiai backing, and led to Japan a selected graduate-student mis- sion, in order to contact key lead CTS and groups, observe conditions throughout the far east, and bring back to American people first-hand impressions of all they experienced. Fresh from the worlds danger zone, Mr Harrison brings to the lecture platform a message unique and gravely important to every American.

Eugene l.. Vidal, Bureau director says suitable landing places and areas for the new radio system will be selected shortlq.

 Columns and columns would be required to print that impressive report of the Federal Aviation comrnission which has been sub- mttted to President Roosevelt. Clark Howell's commission certain ly did a real job and the aviation world Is hoping they'll be retained to guide aviation in the future.
 Fred Moller and his head me- charic Al Zotack made a tour or the county last week to procure in- formation for the American AIT way lines on field conditions or both regular airports and emergency landing fields. Fred is chief wealth CT man for the American Airways lines in this section.
 If you want to hear Q real ar enthusiast, sort of made over night. then listen to Jack Evans of inc Stratford Bowling alleys tell about seeing the giant S-42 flying boat while he was in Miami, Flor ida for his vacation. Jack reports he had one swell time when the Pan.American boys learned he was from the home town of the giant boat.
 By the way, aside to the 'sikor- sky bowlers, the faithful six are stili bowling every Thursday night at stratford. Caroline and Edna are holding up the feminine end of the matches with communications hoss Walter leading the male pin topplers. Attendance at the matches last week reached new low because of bad travelling condi- tions.
 Sure, everything seems quie in aviation right now but we hear on inc underground wire that just the minute Congress passes aviation legisiation suggested by Clark Howeii's comJnission, the Pan. American Airways system will an. nounce that it ia ready for the first hop across the Pacific. Pilots Tor the trip are being trained right now down in Miami and at least i've will make the Initial trip to China.

 Gene Vidal sends along informa- ton that q vertical "T' shaped air craft radio antenna, three feet high
 has been found by the Bureau of Air Commerce, to be one of tEe most suitable types for use in fly ing the beam" of the radio range directional beacons on the federal
 system. After many tests 1t was found that '"r' antenna with an
 actual vertical height of about three feet Is equivalent to five
 foot vertical mast; that if installed longitudinally above or below tho
 fuselage 1t will receive the signals
 accurately; 1t creates very little

 Neil Ahern, Ed Mccullough, Phil Hall, Fred Moller, Ed sherman
 and some of the other local "avla-

 ments are not permitted to pur-
 chase planes with regular depart
 mental appropriations, Eugene Vidal has worked out a system of
 central aircraft operating pool for the government departments from which pilots and planes are drawn for official business. The departments send along their ex- pense money checks and the de- partment contracts with private plane owners. Vidal in his an. nouncement to the government de-
 partments of the new service urged that all employees and officials
 make use of the regular air lines
 wherever possible.

 urged by the department of com merce until some better method Of freeing the ice has been discovered.
 Forced landings totaled 28 in 1884 from ice In carburetors.
 When Federal appropriations for

 again to procure the $75,00O for reconatructing runways and im- proving the Moilison airport. Gov. ernment officials who have viewed
