teachers had their pupils write
letters to their mothers, asking
them to cooperate by answering
the letter and telling some of the
ways in which the house and yard
had been improved through their
child's efforts. The Social Science
department emphasized the home
and yards and alleys; the General
Science the yard at school, while
the Mechanical Drawing depart
ment had the boys repair broken
furniture, paint and improve the
plumbing while the girls were to
scour dishes and the silver, wash
curtains, etc.

the pupils present were limited to
the boy and girl representatives
from the home rooms and one other

The program was opened by the
announcer, Samuel Hicks. The
school orchestra played some stir
ring music followed by interest
ing reports by Cornell Mitchell,
Leroy Rogers, and Beulah Ware,
on work done in the city, school
yard, and home. The community
singing was a happy event as the
pupils had composed cleanup
words to told tunes and all Joined
in the songs, also poems on the
subject had been written in Miss
Odfen's English classes and were
given by Charles Smith, Marion
Cunningham, Tommy Ulmer, Lu-

to true cooperation was when Mrs.
Ruth Ellis Of 513 Medbury avenue,
representing the mothers of the
neighborhood, told us of what had
been accomplished in the homes.
An imitation street broadcast
was held with George Gukich re-
presenting Duncan Moore. His

reluctant to receive Negroes, and
many will not enroll them at all.
Negro pilots have been reasonably
resourceful; they have borrowed,
stinted, bartered, and formed clubs
to secure their training. Thirty
seven clubs have been formed and
thirteen Of these have failed. Their
resourcefulness and the friendly in
terest of others have enabled them
to obtain instruction.
Twenty-four pilots have receiv-
ed ground training average train
in period, fourteen months), thirty
had acquired an average of eleven
dual hours before solo flying, and
twenty-nine pilots had acquired an
average of 100 solo hours.
Eighteen student licenses, four
amateur licenses, seven private lie
enses, three limited commercial
licenses and two transport licenses
are held by members of the group
mentioned. Only two Negroes are
employed exclusively in aviation,
one conducting q school and the
other is with the Ethiopian air
force. Several others, however,
have unsuccessful attempts to Sc
cure employment.

Commerce Bureau
Makes Report On
Negro A vi a t i o n

Washington, d. ca study con-
Quoted by the Division Of Negro
Affairs, Bureau of Foreign and Do
nestle Commerce, reveals that at
least fifty-fve Negroes two OF
whom are women, hold licenses
from the Bureau of Air Commerce.
The background training and at
tainment of this group are indi-
Gated by an analysis Of the replies
given to questionaires by thirty
seven Negro licensed pilots.
Background
The ages of Negro pilots range
from twenty years to forty-four
years. Nine fall in the age group
1924, thirteen in the age group
1929, five in the age group 1924,
seven in the age group $3.50, and
only three in the age group 40-44.
Twenty-seven are less than thirty
five years old.
Nineteen pilots were born in the
South, but thirty-five reside in
either the East or West. Illinois is
the State of greatest concentration
fifteen reside there.
Although five had not complet-
ed grammar school, eighteen had
finished the grammar school grad
es and fourteen had either attend
ed or been graduated from college.
The plots are unskilled, semi
skilled, and skilled laborers, cleri-
cal workers, and professionals. Six
are listed as professional men and
ten are listed as mechanics.
Training-Attainment
Financial difficulties and limited
training facilities have hampered
the progress Of the Negro in avia-
ton. The majority of these men fol-
low occupations which return only
average incomes, but they have
paid on an average of twelve dol
lars and fifty cents per hour for
training. Many aviation schools are

WET-DRY CYCLE
BELIEF BLASTED
STUDY OF PRECIPITATION REC
ORDS FROM 1880 TO 1884
EXPLAINED

The prevalent belief expressed at
some of the county economic con-
ferences being held throughout the
state that there is a more or less
regular cycle of wet and dry years
is blasted by a study of precipitation
records from 1880 to 1884, according
to III. G. Bolster, extension land econ
Omist at Montana State college.
Records of precipitation have been
kept at the Havre station since 1880,
Bolster said, and during that time the
rainfall has varied from a low Of less
than seven inches to a high of over
Is inches. The average for the entire
period-1880 to 1934-iS slightly over Is
inches. The economist points out that
farmers who planned their operations
on the, heaviest rainfall would have
suffered, while those who based their
not have been disappointed on yields.
Bolster cites the Havre figures to
illustrate the Importance of basing OPP
erations on a long period. He averaged
the successive five year periods from
1880 through 1884 and found the diff
ference between the lowest and highest
average was less than five inches. Then
he averaged up successive 10-year pc
RODS and found the range was less than
two inches. Successive 15-year periods
revealed the difference was less than
one inch.
The Havre records revealed the strik-
ing fact that in every five-year period
there never was less than two years of
above normal precipitation nor more
than three.
Below is listed the average precipita-
ton at Havre per year from 1880

Don returned again with a plate of
