Minimum Age Limit
For Student Pilots
Set al 10 Years
Increase From 18 Made
To Conform to Army
And Navy Figure

The minimum age limit of stu
dents in the civilian pilot training
program was raised from IS to 10
years, the Civil Aeronautics Board
disclosed today in announcing that
the fall training program will begin
this week end.
The maximum age limit remains
rs years, Donald H. Connolly, ad-
ministrator, said. The age limita-
tons were designated to conform to
requirements of the Army and Navy
air services.
The administration expects $4,000
students will be enrolled in the
uled to be completed by the end Of
next January.
Designated as aircraft operation,
the course will include flight ma
neuvers. engine servicing aircraft
inspection, maintenance, flight and
aero-dynamicS. Instruction in use
of parachutes will be included. Six
hours will be devoted to civil air
regulations. These classes will be
conducted in colleges by fight in
structors, instead of ground instruc-
tors as heretofore.
The results of special survey of
methods used in the past, Col. Con-
molly said, show a more simplified
ground and flight instruction course
was needed. The subjects of meteor
ology and navigation will now take
in nike more hours than heretofore
Air regulations instruction will be
reduced from II to hours.
A return to the original practice of
having one instructor to each unit
of 10 students will be followed. Each
student will be charged for fight in
surance. medical examination and
an additional fee Of not more than
$40 for registration.
Instruction in the summer session.
which has Just been concluded, was
given to units of Is students by one
instructor. In the 1939-40 program
the ratio of one instructor to 10
students was established and fees
up to $40 were charged by the COL
leges where the C. A. B. conducted
courses.

(From Pittsburgh cour,er)

SPRINGFIELD, O. Under the
leadership and faithful guidance Of
82-year-o!d Bishop C. II. Philips,
the Colored Me s1odist Episcopal
church closed the sixth session OF
its Ohio Annual Conference here
this week. More than 500 members
from the Cincinnati and Ohio dis
tricts attended the morning ana eve
ming session that opened last Tues
day and closed on Sunday night with
the reading Of appointments.
All churches made round reports
except phillips Chapel in Akron
which was pastored by the Rev. -
M. King. Failure Of the church to
submit a satisfactory financial re-
port tn the conference resulted IN
the expulsion, from the pulpit, of
the pastor,
One of the most impressive re-
ports read before the conference was
that submitted by the committee on
the state Of affairs of hte country.
On the committee were. Rev. M. II.
Breeding, Rev. j. G. Winbon anu
William lies. They reported that
America is experiencing national
exigencies, probably unprecedented
in all our history.
Through dicta aorship, many q
the nations Of the Old World have
lost their right to live as free pee-
pie. Human liberties and standards
Of living through the centuries have
been swept away as stubbie before
an onrushing wind. So much OF the
world is afflicted with war as to Ell
feet all the nations upon whose ter
ritories there arc no actual battle
fields.
The social, economic and culture
standards are facing the most men
acing threats in the history Of man
kind. Thus we view with grave con-
Germ, the right Of humility.
