TO ORGANIZE ALASKA WOMEN
 IN AIR GROUP
Louise Patterson 10 Begin Branch of AWP Here
 for All AIdskdns

Alaska's flying progress banked into a new turn today as Louise Patterson, of Pacific Alaska Air ways office staff here, issued a call for Alaska women interested in flying.
 Miss Patterson. who soloed four years ago and is past President of the Seattle branch of Associat- ed Women Pilots of the Northwest, announced plans today to organ ize the first Alaskan branch of that growing group.
 Those Interested
 First, Miss Patterson, who may be contacted at the PAA offices here, wants to meet all women in terested in flying. Second, she said active members of the association must be actively flying or hold an up-to-date license. Third, an associate membership is open to those only interested in flying and with plans to go further into fly ing study.
 If enough girls show interest in the organization, fulI-fledged branch of the AWP will be or ganized here, Miss Patterson said, urging that all Alaska women are invited to come into the body and said the group will not be solely a Juneau club"
 Active Body
 The Associated Women Pilots of the Northwest is an active body of approximately 100 members in branches at Seattle, Tacoma, Spo- kane and Boise. A Portland unit of women aviation enthusiasts be- longs to another group.
 Under the organization, ground schools are conducted and meet ings are held for advancement ot knowledge in various branches Of aviation from meteorology to first aid
 Tn Seattle, the AWP plays an inn portant part in civic programs, the girls holding active memberships wearing distinctive overall uniforms and assisting in air meets and celebrations.
 Alaskans Should Join
 Alaska, of all sections of the country, ought to have an organ ized group of women fliers," Miss Patterson said. Tn Alaska, daily life is welded more closely to the airplane than in any part of the United States and it is only right that Alaska women should take part in air progress where it means so much to them"
 Miss Patterson said her an- nouncement today is an attempt to determine how far the organi- zation of a branch of the AWP in Alaska might go, and will well come letters from interested wo- men if an actual meeting cannot be arranged.
 And when the question of age limits arises, Miss Patterson first cites the fact many girls are en the birthday waiting list to get licenses when the 16 years limit is reached, and then added the instance of a 55-year -old Seattle woman who soloed recently and docs more flying than all the rest of the girls"

WELCOME TO FOUR-STATES
HIGHWAY CONVENTION

Wherever they go in Imperial Valley
delegates to the International Four
States Highway Association convention
at Rrawley this week should receive the
warmest welcome their hosts know how
10 give them. They are doubly welcome;
first because Imperial Valley likes to
entertain visitors. and second because
the thing they have set out to do Is OF
inestimable value to the valley, as It Is
to every other community along the
route of the great north-sOuth highway.
The people who build highways have
been IN the vanguard of civilization since
man first shucked off his tail and came
down from the trees. At first 1t was
the fellow who cleared a path through
the Jungle to his home, then the tribe
which cut broad road to its village so
that its trade might thrive. Now 1t is
the group of leaders who plan the
routes and obtain financing so that those
who labor with hands and macnlneS
may lay a broad ribbon of commerce
across the nation.
The trade of one people with another
the friendship of one tribe, one state or
one nation for another, the sum total
of general knowledge, all have increased
or decreased throughout history as
roads were good or bad.
So it is that, this week, Imperial Val
ley welcomes the delegates who have
dedicated their energies to the building
of great national highway from the
Canadian border to the Mexican from
tier In a spirit of pride for the part
Imperial Valley has had in this great
undertaking. and in a spirit OF thank
full humility for the generous coopera-
tion il has received from the able lead
ers of other communities, the people
of this valley wish their visitors "the
best of everything"

THE WORLD NEEDS
MORE MEN LIKE HIM

In this hectic day Of greed and graft
in the headlines it is like feeling a cool
ocean breeze in the middle of hot des-
ert sandstorm to read that DR.. Robert
Gordon Sproul. president of the Univer-
sity of California, has turned down
bank presidents job which would have
meant to him salary increase of $780,
500 annually.
It was tribute to DR.. Sprouts sound
common sense and good business Judg-
ment that the bank should offer him Its
biggest job; it was a demonstration OF
sterling character that this great edu-
Gator should have turned down the offer
in order to carry on the work for which
he is so grandly fitted and III which ne
has done so much good
There are men who, already having
enough, would murder for 5000. There
are others who would not go so far,
but would sacrifice any vestige of honor
they claim for such price, even though
it might not be necessary either to their
life or their personal comfort. And
there are still others, not so mean nor
so grasping who would nevertheless
leave a socially important but compar-
atively ill-paying job to others in favor
of a chance to earn SO much more, feel
ing that they lowe it to themselves
Not so DR.. Sproul.
Nobody would have criticized this As
year-old college president for taking the
bank presidency. Another could have
been found to fill his place at the univer
sity, although possibly not so ably A
brilliant career in business might have
awaited him.
The nation needs more men like DR..

AT LEAST IL DUCE
CAN RECOGNIZE IT

(San Francisco Chronicle)
Italy's evident fear that General Fran
co.'s Spanish victory means another
double cross is justified by experience.
Italy double crossed Austria and Ger
many in the World war and threw in
with the allies. At the peace conference
France and England double crossed
Italy out Of her reward. ltaly's disap-
pointment eliminated in the Communist
movement that Mussolini undertook to
resist He got the support of big indus
try but, once in the saddle, double cross
ed his hackers by giving them something
else just as bad as Communism.
Mussolini backed Franco, undoubtedly
upon representation that it would be
to his benefit. Now that the war seems
won, Franco is listening to whispers
from France and England. Franco needs
money and will have to get it where he
can. SO Franco will be only following
conventional history if he double crosses
Mussolini for what France and England
promise OF that reward he will get
Just as much as it is convenient and
beneficial to give him.

quickest possible time. OSualiy
men were engaged from town 10
helm but this season they had
oone to Kansas to work IN the
wheat. SO neighborhood help was
all that was available.
Nearby lived Loren Chubbick, an
exceptionally good worker. Tall
and gangling-a sort OF Llncoln-
esoue figure-but strong and quick
with his hands. Mr.. croy asked
him to help He agreed, although II
meant he must leave his own
work. Homer's father was pleased.
The best man in the neighbor-
hood
The work was cutting bands,
that is, the bindertwlne when
kept the sheaves from falling
apart The band-cutter stood on a
little platform with a razor sharp
knife in his hand, gave one pass
at the sheaf as it was tossed on
the table and the opened sheai
was fed into the roaring, snarl-
ing cylinder. One false move on the
part of the cutter and the feeders
finger would be missing.
Chubbick was a genius at band
cutting. He could handle a third
more wheat than any other man
there.
But he loved to talR: He would
become SO interested he would
become careless with his knife
This caused the man who was
feeding the cylinder dodge to slow
up his work.
Homers father had to warn
Chubbick to be careful, but he
knew that if he spoke to him be-
fore the other men, his vanity
would be wounded and he would
throw up his job and 90 home.
Homers father thought it over
and decided not TO correct him at
all! That is, openly He called
Homer and told of the method ne
meant to employ. He asked Chub-
bin to oil the gears. This was TO
bring him nearer to hear what ne
meant to say. Then Homer was
given the band-cutting job and did
exactly the same thing Chubbick
did.
Look here, Homer" said the
father in a loud voice, you're too
careless. You might make a slip
and hurt the band-cutter. OF course
you're green and naturally make
mistakes. NOW you watch how Mr.
Chubbick does it. He's careful and
speedy at the same time
Pretty soon Chubbick was on the
job again-a changed man He did
the work exactly right and the
crop was harvested without
single miShap.

sionsl Yes, it sounded strange to a lot
of Texans, too, but they must have been
the ones who forgot to vote
