Mr.. Williams told the conference
that in the future, as in the past,

Get Aid to Stay in Schools.
Roughly, about l student of every
II in the secondary schools will re-
ceive small monthly sums to help
them remain in school, and for this
aid they perform some useful work.
What this work should be is mat
ter, he said, for local school off,
cials to determine.
In the colleges and universities
1t was believed about one student
out of 10 will be eligible for Federal
aid, the amount they will receive
being somewhat larger.
DR.. Judd, who was formerly head
Of the education department of the
University of Chicago and is now

ing the conference to establish coun-
ellis of school men In each State to

1t would be useful in helping to

Signed simply, From a mother
with two bonny bairns," the letter
read:
Hearing your name mentioned on
the wireless in connection with the
refugees, I feel I must write and
ask you to hurry and get the chill
dren on their way as soon as
possible.
I'VE are willing to stand any
suffering, bombing, starvation, any,
thing-so long as our children are
safe. You, yourself, being mother
will know how hard it is for us to
part with our children-like taking
our hearts from our body. AS
night falls we pray to God to keep
them safe until another day dawns
Each night we put our few personal
belongings together in bags with
enough food to last for two days to
take with us into shelter, which In
our case means the cellar. But we
can stick this, we will live in cellars
before giving in so long as our chill
dren are out of the way because we
mean to win this war for justice and
freedom for all.
ITO all American mothers who
take our children in at this terrible
time I want to say, thank you and
may God bless you"

naturally were no match for the
Nazis.
There's no denying, anyway, thai
planes can do an infinity OF damage
But can they win war, regardle''
of the opposing belligerents' surface
competency?
Wendell WILKES answer is that
"air power" is "primary."
Not So Illogical
Presumably he bases his judgment
on the circumstances that Hitler
overran Norway in spite Of British
sea supremacy and occupied Hol-
land, Belgium and part Of France IN
the face of Anglo-French terrestrial
opposition-and did it all principally
by virtue of his aviators' activities
His surface troops attended to Den
mark, but geographically that was
easy. :,
Wendel's argument. isn't so IL
logical. ~,
While admitting that planes can
create plenty of wreakage, surface
army strategists have contended all
along that they can't occupy a deVas-
tated area. The notion that they
can land military occupants by para
chutes has been pooh-pooh'd, on the
ground that such parachutlsts num-
5ers couldn't conceivably be conse-
1uential. Yet the Germans did 1t, IN
Norway, Holland, Belgium ana
France, and they're worry to Eng
land. The stunt may be theoretl-
cal impossibility. Nevertheless it's
been accomplished. Of course there
must have been fifth columnists to
welcome the parachutists as they
landed. They got aWav with It
though, in Scandinavia, France and
he Low Countries.
Wendell Willkie wants a depart
-nent of aviation, like the war and
navy departments.
It isn't a new suggestion. Eu-
ropean countries. with few imnort-
ant expectations, have aviation minis
tiers independently of their war and
'..'-' ministries.
WILKES scheme is, ultimately, to
1--we one department of national de-
Tense, including aviation, army and
navy. He says the time hasn't quito
arrived for it, but that's what he's
shooting at.
The prospect that army and navy
men don't like is this:
They're afraid that aviation will
Wag the army and navy.

Grass Now Recognized AS One
OF Most Valuable Farm Crops

and harvesting is practically elimint-
ed.
One of the counties making the
strongest drive for more and better
pastures this year is Stanly. There
Farm Agent J. E. Wilson is conduct
ing a campaign to push his county
toward the top as a livestock and
pasture area.
He is pointing out that many pas
lures seeded in the county in Sep
TENDER of last year have already re-
turned more than double the total
cost of seeoing them through sales
to the Albemarle milk-receiving sta
ton.
Where pastures have already been
established, he is urging the owners
to apply lime and phosphate so that
heavier grazing may be obtained for
their livestock.
Blair said other county agents of
the Extension Service are conduct

College Station, Raleigh, Sept. 16.
Grass, the plant that farmers have
fought for generations, is now gain
ing increasing respect as one of the
most valuable crops, E. c. Blair, eX-
tension agronomist Of State College,
said today.
At one time, the elimination of
grass was major worry OF grow
ers. Now, pasture has become one Of
the chief topics of conversation when
farmers or agricultural workers get
together.
Results gained through Experiment
Station research show that feed nu-
trients from pasture cost less than
one-half as much as nutrients from
other sources. An acre of good pas
ture, properly managed and utilized
by good COWS, will return more pro-
fit than the same area devoted to
other crops now commonly grown,
Blair said.
