MONTGOMERY
Nl SIDELICHTS

The very nice pictures OF the
Manor Hunt shown in a recent
Sunday Star brought many MEM
cries of the Norbeck vicinity.
Most of the names of members
of the club were unknown to the
community when we lived there,
but Edward Cashell, Palmer Beall
George and Frank Wilson were
born and reared within few miles
and did we not recognize in DIR. E.
E. Huffer, little Elmer Huffer,
whose family once lived on the
Merriwether place near Goshen.
The officers of the Manor Hunt
Club are: Harry P. Whitlock, pres
ident; Edward Cashell, vice presi-
dent, and E. B. McIntire, secretary.
George Wilson is huntsman, Ber-
nard Brosius and Boyd Keys, mas
tiers of hounds. Palmer Beall and
Paul Curran are whips.
The Mcintyre farm near Glen
mont is favorite starting place
for their Sunday morning runs,
and its rolling terrain affords a
SJod view of hounds and riders.
All the members are well mounted
and are hard riders.
The membership is limited to rs.
They have seven doctors among
them, so we were recently told by
Miss Anita Mamele lucky for
her - for the very next time she
rode with them her horse fell and
she broke her collar-bone. "But,
she assured US, like the good horse
woman she is, "the horse was not
hurt"
The Mameles, by the way,
bougiS the Martin Kicks place on
the Lay Hill road, and having a
charming, 1ustic-looking bungalow
where they live with their daugh-
ter and their dogs, ten Of them
dogs, not daughters.
The Whitlock and Counselmen
homes are on parts of the old Hen
derson place, while nearer the pike
is the Curtis, or DeMuth place,
now the property of DR.. Webster
Sewall, the colored physician who
is doing much for his race. We
were struck by the Improvement in
the appearance of the colored
homes in the vicinity.
Lawrence Whites place of bust
ness stands where his grandfather
once lived, and where his father
had a shop for many years, and
Edwin Stonestreet carries on his
fathers store in Norbeck. Smalps
nursery farm was the Parsley
farm to us.
Down the road toward Redland
most of the old places have chang
ed hands. Muncaster Mill = where
several ecades ago the numerous
children of the Muncaster, Pres
colt and White families alternately
played and battled = but we are
getting on the grounds of the Red
\ land Hunt now and that is another
story.

Plane Industry Trains 81 900
For War Expansion Needs
Personnel Shortage Keeps U. S. Factories
From Capacity Production

I'VE have learned by experience
that men who got out Of the busi-
ness 8 or 10 years ago no longer
are competent to step In and take
production jobs. Methods of pro-
duction have changed so radically,
and shop practice has so changed
that only those with continuous
experience during the last several
years can be depended on to pro-
duce. There are no managers nor
supervisors available"
Accordingly supervisory personnel
is being produced by the industry by
intensive training of most suitable
veteran personnel. 1t is estimated
that of the l25,000 employees in
the aviation industry today Is per
cent. or about $1,000, is in process
of training to meet the require
ments of personnel expansion.
Won't Rob" Others.
To fill gaps caused by advance
ment of skilled workers who have
formed the backbone of the in
dustry to supervisory positions, in
tensive training must be carried on
all the way down the line to the
newest employees. Some of this
training is being carried on before
future workers even reach the doors
of the aircraft factory employment
Offices. Young men must have pre-
employment training in the highly
specialized requirements of aviation
production.
I'VE have learned by hard ex-
perience that We cannot use skilled
labor from other industries effec-
lively Col. Jouett explained. I'VE
haven't the slightest idea of reach
ing into other essential industries
and grabbing hundreds of thou
sands of artisans"
Efficient aircraft workers must
have specialized training which is
essentially different from that OF
automobile workers, perhaps the
most nearly allied industry, 1t Is
pointed out.
Since the aviation industry al
ready has expanded from $4,000 to
$4,000 employees during the present
emergency and must 90 to 100000
to fully man the factories now In
process of construction, the train
ing job has become too great for
the industry itself. Government
cooperation, Federal and State
must be given if the aircraft fac
tories ever are to get into full pro-
duction.
The nature and extent of the
joint governmental-industrial obli-
cations and activities in connec-
ton with this training program will
be discussed in the next article ir
this series.

The Draft and You
Questions and Answers on Legislation
Providing for SeIectve Service
Fourteenth OF a Series. J

Fourteenth OF a Series.)
(Redders OF The Star are in
rited to mail their queries to the
Conscription Editor, Uho UiH at
tempt to reply through these ar
ttcles, but not through personal
correspondence. Queries cannot
be dnsUered by telephone, nor
wiH duplicated questions be an
stDered again.
Will there be enough guns and
other equipment to train conscripts
or will they be trained with broom
sticks?
The Army has enough good rifles
for a force of from 100000 to A.
100000 men. After recruits have
been taught the basic rifle drills
and practices. only about one-third
ever will use a rifle again.
Besides more than adequate
supply of rifles, most of which are
Springields of World War pattern,
there are enough machine guns, pis-
tolls. artillery and other equipment
to train the 100000 soldiers who
will be on duty by July /, l941. Some
veteran soldiers prefer the excellent
World War rifles to the new semi
automatic Garand rifle.
A large proportion of the equip
ment is not modern, but the types
are Just as valuable as new weapons
for training purposes. Recruits are
not permitted to fire expensive and
dangerous weapons until they have
learned how to handle them. Thus,
in the first stages of training, the
Army may use dummy machine
guns anti-tank guns and mortars
to teach the fundamental drills.
The flow of moderniZed weapons
Is still slow because Congress did
not provide funds soon enough, but
1t will increase in the next six
months. At any rate, enough weap-
ons of the newest type probably will
be available at each post for ad-
vanced training.
There will be enough trucks,
tanks, reconnaissance cars and mo-
torcycles to supply training needs,
and the number of vehicles is being
increased each week.
Will my year of training make
me a fairly competent soldier?
Yes. The year of duty contem-
plated for conscripts, National
Guardsmen and Reserve officers will
be the equivalent of training re-
ceived by Regular Army soldiers
before the defense emergency of
two or more years. 1t will be stren-
uous and because funds were made
available by Congress there will be
more large-scale operations.
During the World War soldiers
averaged six months of training in
the United States two more
months overseas and one month

tion OF combat airpldnes at the
earliest possible moment is the
key to American security. as ,Dell

dertaken a surrey to determine
the state OF affairs in the Ameri-
can aircraft industry. This is the
third OF series OF articles based
on these studies.
BY JOSEPH s. EDGERTON.
Shortage of trained personnel
particularly in the grades OF fore
men and supervisors, has been ad-
vanced as one of the principal rea-
sons for the fact that. in the face
of urgent need for warplanes for
Britain and the United States
American aircraft factories today
are idle between one-fourth and
one-third of each week.
What is being done. and what
can be done to overcome this short
age? Is this a problem for the in
dustry, for Government or both to
solve?
The excellence of American air.
craft production has been based in
the past on the fact that it was in
charge of thoroughly trained per-
sonnel. One of the larger manu-
facturers on the eve of expansion
estimated that in its administrative
group actual aviation experience
averaged 172 years per man, among
the engineering key men 1853 years
and among the production super
visors and group leaders 1l.9 years

Since then, training methods have
been bettered and there are more
trained officers available. More
than two-thirds of the 1917-l918
line officers were graduates of off,
GERS training schools, where courses
averaged about 80 days.
Where there were only about 1000
Regular Army officers in 1917 and
about 5000 Reserve officers who
were graduates of military courses
at universities and colleges, there
are now about 14,5o0 regular ON
GERS and 10000 reserve officers.
This is in addition to the 10000 or
more trained National Guard OFF,
GERS who will be available.
The Regular Army and National
Guard, greatly increased since pre-
World War days, also has a far
larger number of excellently trained
nom commissioned officers to aid in
increasing the skill of selectees.
More service schools are in exist
ence to train specialists than ever
| before
Will camps be crowded so that
there won't be enough barracks?
Adequate quarters will be avail
able for all men before they are
ordered to duty. The Army is
building, has built, or is planning
construction of 10 large canton
ments wood barracks for the Reg
ular Army, six large cantonments
for the National Guard and two
smaller cantonments for anti-air-
craft training centers. In addition,
it is building 81 cantonments of
various sizes for replacement CEN
tiers, where selectees will receive
basic training before being distrib-
uted to National Guard or Army
units
In the South. because of more
temperate weather, IL large camps
are being constructed which will
consist chiefly of tents with wood
floors and frames. There also will
be four smaller camps for anti-air-
craft training centers New air sta
tions are being established at 80
civilian airports and facilities are
being enlarged on about 10 ground
troop and 20 Regular Army corps
stations.
BY contrast, during the World
War there were only 16 cantonments
and l6 camps.
What does a man do with his au-
tomobile when he is sent to a post
that has no garage?
Leave 1t at home. There will be
adequate garage facilities for the
Army's motor vehicles, but selectees
and National Guardsmen probably
will be told they cannot bring along
their own cars when they are or
dered to duty.

Proposed Law to Benefit
Postmasters in Small Offices

Postmaster O.. A. Tellifero,
county director of the National
Association of Postmasters states
that his association is spon soring
a bill which would benefit four
postmasters in Fourth Class Of
fees in this county.
If the legislation which is now
before Congress, passes during
this session it will increase the
salary of postmasters who are
now in charge of Fourth Class
offices.
The present system of paying
Fourth Class postmasters, accord
ing to the stamps cancelled in
their offices would be eliminated.
and the pay would be based upon
the re ceipts of the office as is IN
practice in Post Offices with a
higher rating. proponents of the
Legislation explained.
There are 29,514 postmasters
of Fourth Class offices through
out the United States which are
sometimes referred to as the
i Corner Grocery Store Post Of
flee This proposed LEGISLATION
would slightly increase h e
amount of salaries paid to such
postmasters. but it is not looked
upon as a salary increasing mea-
sure.
! At the time there are 5000 of
these postmasters who receive
less than $3.50 per year for their
services.
/ Postmaster TelIifero further
states the proposed bill is to
simplify the method of account
ing, and one which the post
masters of this class have urged
Congress to favorably consider
for the past fifty years.
