AVIATION

An enthusiastic promoter of avia-
ton among colored American youth,
who has just arrived in Boston, is
Clarence Nicholas, former student of
aeronautical engineering at Rennsets
Polytechnical Institute and founder in
1885 of the "Wings over Aviation
Club, the avowed aim of which is to
stimulate and turn into worthwhile
channels the interest many young col
ored people are showing in the field
of AerOnautics.
In an interview with THE GUARD
IAN, Mr.. Nicholas, who is national
director of the movement, stated that
a nationwide campaign has been
started to organize colored American
youth interested in aviation. Few .peo-
pie realize, he said, the extent of this
interest but he has discovered over the
country hundreds of enthusiasts, win
ners even of prizes in model airplane
friction and gas power, and he is con-
WINGED that there are thousands more,
members of model clubs, avid readers
of aviation literature, who, however,
are discouraged at finding no avail
able, national organization interested
in their future.
with the opening of two colored
colleges for Aviation training, the fol-
lowing questions are pertinent" Mr..
Nicholas said: ID Have colored peo-
pie shown any real interest in avia-
ton? (2) Have they tried to inspire
youth to enter this field? (3) What
types of organizations-for trained
pilots or mechanism they build
ing? (4) What steps have been taken
to stimulate new interest and what
avenues of information have they had
on the matter? (5) Finally, what has
been done to win the confidence of the
general public in the worthwhileness
of their entry into commercial avia-
ton or the national defense program
$50 much for the past. What, now,
of the future?" he continued. eff we
are in earnest and truly wish to inter
est our youth, gain public respect and
consideration, it is highly important
that we organize our activity.
"The Wings over Aviation Club is
campaigning for $4,000 new recruits.
Let every interested man or boy join.
For every city with 100 or more mem
bers the national organizer will hold
the following yearly contests: detail
scale model airpane contest-indoor
fly scale contest-an outdoor contest
of both rubber powered and gas
models. Two members from each city
to be sent yearly to the U. S. National

member; newspaper articles on local
current happenings-these are special
provisions of the club. Members are
asked to secure new members, send in

The Cattle of the Sea

The most significant difference
between fish and most other flesh
foods is that with the exception OF
certain shellfsh which are pro-
duced under government regula-
ton, "crops" from the sea are
neither planted by man, nor Gull
tivated by him.
Unlike the farmer or the cattle
man, the fisherman gathers his
"harvest" without the previous eff
fort of sowing seeds or cultivating
plants; without the necessity of
providing shelter or fodder.
To a man or woman who has
never enjoyed the experience of
catching fish for dinner, the sea
may suggest nothing but an ex-
panse of blue-green water. But
to those who are familiar with the
habits of its denizens, the sea is a
fascinating place teeming
with life. 1t contains many forms
of vegetable materials, of which
seaweed is the best known. These
provide food for the lower forms
of animal life which inhabit the
waters. They, in turn, are eaten
by larger creatures. In the final
analysis, all forms of animal life
in the sea, as on land, are depend
ent for their sustenance upon the
sun, which stores up energy in
green plants.

Hunters Warned

a S REGULAR as the seasons is
\ the warning to sportsmen that
duck hunting will soon be a thing of
the past unless effective restoration
methods are applied.
And for the most part those warn
ings are just as regularly ignored.
Now comes word from officials of
Ducks, Unlimited, that unless RENE
dial measures are taken during the
next five years there will be no
duck hunting 20 years hence, and
it will never come back. This proph-
ecy was made only after an in
tensive survey of Canadian breed
ing grounds.
Surface water in the breeding
areas has been reduced alarmingly
through low precipitation and con-
tinued high temperatures. Rain falls
in Alberta and Saskatchewan have
alleviated conditions in southern
breeding grounds to some extent,
but the northern part, or mo mans
land" is in critical condition.
This loss of surface water is due
largely to the failure of millions of
small beaver dams and to serious
forest fires that are destroying tim
Der, muskegs and meadows.
To carry on a program of restora-
ton requires money-sinews for this
kind of war. 1t is only logical that
this money come from hunters,
those who enjoy the sport. Most
sportsmen aren't alarmists, they've
called the turn in this case. It's
up to the rest to help.

Place of Fish in the Diet

The most important contribution
of all forms of fish is their pro-
teins, which as we have seen may
be used INTERCHANGEABLE with
those of beef, pork, lamb, veal
and poultry. The iodine of sea-
foods and shellfish is also ex-
tremely important, and in some
varieties, tn. content of vitamins
A and D. The more fatty fish, in
Guiding mackerel, salmon, eels,
herring, catfish and shad are COM
paratively rich in energy values.
The fuel value of cod, founder,
perch, smelts and haddock, which
are low in fat, and halibut and
whitefish which have moderate
amount, may be increased through
the use of a rich sauce, or they
may be cooked in fat.
Taking into consideration its
food values and economy, and
when the preserved forms are uti-
lized, its ease of preparation, the
homemaker who desires to feed
her family well should serve fish
or shellfsh, in some form, much
oftener than once each week.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1939-02-02

For this reason, fish is considered
less stimulating, and that is also
why it is often served with some
sort of sauce, or with lemon
garnish to point up the flavor.
The proteins of fish are regard
ed as equally useful with other
forms of meat for helping to build
and repair body tissues. Most lean
fish are richer in minerals than
fatty fish; in this respect, they
resemble lean meats.
Salt water fish are notable as
a source of iodine, required for
the proper functioning of the thy
roid gland. 1t is desirable that
this mineral be included in the
dietary to help prevent simple
goiter.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1939-02-02
Fish Is Universally Available

There are perhaps more varie-
ties of fish than any other type
of first-class protein food. A gov
eminent bulletin has listed 40
kinds besides smoked and sailed
fish and the various shellfish.
Thus the use of fish provides
ample opportunities for varying
the menu. Moreover, though fish
is more perishable than other flesh
foods, it is available today in ev-
cry town and hamlet, however re-
mote from the waterways.
No matter where she lives, the
homemaker can choose from a
wide variety of canned, dried,
smoked, sailed and quick-frozen
fish. And both transportation and
refrigeration have been so i'm
proved that fresh-caught fish are
distributed far inland.
The quick-frozen fish should be
handled as carefully as fresh fish,
kept under refrigeration, and
used within a reasonable time aft
er purchasing. Canned fish, nat
urally, requires no refrigeration,
and a supply can always be kept
on hand both for everyday use
and for emergencies.
The most important canned fish,
in terms of the amounts packed
and sold, is salmon. This flavor
some fish is an excellent and eco
nomical protein food which is also
notable for its energy value; its
calcium, phosphorus and iodine
and as a source of vitamins A
and D. Other canned seafoods
that are sold in volume include
tuna, sardines, shrimp and
CLAIMS. Canned crab and lobster
meats and oysters are also to be
found upon the shelves of most
grocers, together with other va
rieties of seafood, some packed in
tomato sauce.
When using canned salmon and
