I started grade school in
San Antonio, Tex. l can't
recall the name of any guy
who sat at the school desks
alongside of me.
l always seemed a sort of a
"peewee." My classmates all
were husky, bigger boys.
They left me alone. I never
played games and can't re-
member even having a base
ball bat in my hands.
football, or perhaps they never
asked me, and as I know people
are leery of believing what I
say, don't think I ever had
any particular yearning for
sports of any kind.
I can't remember even fight
ing anyone, nor even getting a
sacking myself. So you see my
school days never meant much.
Whatever knowledge of tech
nical engineering I now possess
was acquired after my school
days.

1t was a big chip, we'll admit, bu
we had a childish impulse tt
knock it off Just to see wha
would happen.
Reminded us of a boy we once
knew who, when an argument be
came too hot for him, would put
a chip" on his shoulder and dare
anyone to knock it off.
A new boy in the neighborhood
took the dare one day, but he
swung hard and wide at the
chip and connected with the
other boys chin by accident.
LOT OF TROUBLE
How many OF us go around
every day with a chip on our
shoulder? If you do, you are
letting yourself in for a lot of
trouble and unpleasantness. Some
folk seem to go through life just
looking for word, act or glance
that they may interpret as slight
or an offense.
You will not go far in this
rough and jostling old world of
ours with a chip balanced on your
shoulder.
1t isn't hard to find trouble
If you go looking for it, but it
seldom calls on you If you are
busy minding your own bust
ness.
1t was just such an idea that
gave the "Old Skipper" the urge
to form a boys and girls club
where the very spirit of good fel-
lowship would predominant. The
very faults you criticize in others
you may find in yourself if you
study your mirror.
Playing together in organized
games, meeting each week for a
radio program, exchanging views
through a newspaper column and
getting acquainted with each other
through club parties and picnics
is the goal set by the skipper. I"
Will you help us?
O1VE 4OOn VIEWS
Write a letter expressing YOUR
ideas along this line. AS member
of the club you will be considered
a committee of one" and may
have the floor at any time to
speak your mind.
The talent hunt will continue
in a search for singers, dancers,
instrumentalists and such with
additions in the studios of WJSV
and the progress will be reported
daily in this column. Make appli-
cation at once if you would like
the Skipper" to set an appoint

At 13 years of age 1 then
took a job delivering parcels.
Aeronautics never entered my

that flying loomed in my life.
I didn't read much-perhaps
didn't think much-until when
I was II years old I saw my

were devoted to aviation.
I scraped enough money to-

I certainly started at the low.
est rung of the ladder, but I
have ever been most grateful
for that experience.
From 1925 I travelled through
out the United States working
on airplanes as a tester and
mechanic.
Then in st. Louis met Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh in 1927.
I was hired as mechanic.
and, with him, I tested his en-
gine. overhauled it.
When he hopped off from
New York I was convinced his
machine was capable of doing
the mileage.
My participation is small. I
was just one of the gang help
ing out with the testing. but
when Lindbergh made history
with his lone flight, although
I was not yet 81, I made
silent vow that would follow
his example. And I had to wait
II years to fulfill that vow.
I have only seen Lindbergh
thrice since then. but he scarce
ly remembered me.
