Under the expansion program,
however, the training demands on
the General Headquarters Air Force
will be greater than normal during
the next three years, as thousands
of new officers and men are brought
into the squadrons.
To relieve the combat squadrons
of the burden of conducting these
necessary demonstrations and of
service testing new tactical theories
and equipment, it was decided to
create special group for this pur-
pose. The proposal, once advanced,
gathered momentum rapidly 1t was
realized that such a special group,
created for the sole purpose of con-
Quoting demonstrations and working
out new theories, could become far
more proficient in this type of work,
through regular practice, than a
regular combat squadron with all
Of its own field training, gunnery,
bombing, navigation and other work
to carry on.
Flying for demonstration purposes,
moreover, is recognized as a diff
ferent proposition from flying on
combat missions. The purposes of
the flying demonstrations is to drive
home lessons in the use of aircraft
on certain missions or under varying
circumstances. The ability to fly a
combat mission we'll may not neces-
sarily imply an ability to fly the
same mission for instructional pur-
poses so that it will be clear to the

student. A special technique is re-
quired for Institutional purposes.
If the lesson is to be driven home,
the demonstration should be per-
fectly conducted, not only as to the
technical details of operation, but
from the standpoint of what may
be termed "showmanship." The
demonstration outfit, In other words,
should have special training in show
ing itself and its operations to the
best possible advantage from the
viewpoint of the student observer.
This the 23d Composite Group is
expected to do. It's squadrons. flights
and other units will be trained for
demonstration purposes and will be
used in connection with the various
phases of training of military per-
sonnel.
Attack Methods.
At the Field Artillery School, for
example, student officers learn some
thing of the methods employed by
attack aviation in knocking out"
enemy batteries. Their course of
instruction includes an actual dem
onstration of an attack by an air
squadron on a battery in the field.
In the past such demonstrations
have been carried on by. any attack
aviation squadron which might be
available. The squadron, called away
from its ordinary duties, might de-
liver the demonstration attack with
perfect efficiency from the combat
standpoint, and vet. because it had

structions are that men are not to

Another new item the enumerator
must remember is to determine the
birthplace of foreigners according
to the status quo"-in other words,
where that birthplace is now sit
uated. The changes in geography
in the last 20 years are we'll rec
ognized; the questionee is permitted
to furnish a birthplace identifica-
ton as best he can. The enumerators
also are to distinguish Northern
Ireland and Fire and between
Canada French" and Canada

tongue Of those regions.
Citizenship Rules.

enumerator must remember that
