More new wings have been earned
as two more students solo. Last
Saturday Ed Bailey tried out his
wings alone for the first time, and
Friday Frank Crowell made his first
solo trip. Congratulations, and don't
forget that final little warning from
the instructor just before you took

Visitors Of the week: The ships
that visited the Carolina Beach field
stopped in here before flying down
to the resort. Other planes that
landed here were a Cub Coupe from
Greensboro, two Cubs from George
town, South Carolina, a Porterfield
and Cub Cruiser from Winston
Salem, flown by Tom Davis. OF
course, we got our first look at the
Cruiser in Goldsboro, but it's the
first visit of one here.

Citizens Association
Opposes Speed Cut

Opposition to the proposed reduc-
tions In District speed limits was
voted last night by the Sixteenth
Street Highlands Citizens Associa-
ton, which met In the Brightwood
School. The resolution, however,
favored more rigid enforcement of
present regulations and stricter
penalties on offenders.
Protest was registered against
reduction of Fire Department per-
sonnel, the citizens declaring that
the move lowers effectiveness of the
force in time of emergency. A plan
to authorize the Federation of Citi-
zen's Associations to determine
boundaries of member bodies was
tabled for further study. The as
sociation also voiced the need for
construction of a new Wilson
Teachers College, preferably at
Fourteenth and Upsalur street NV.
The resignation Of Miss Mildred
Green as secretary of the group
was accepted and Charles S. Hyer
was chosen to fill the post. Miss
Mildred Padgett spoke on the cur
rent campaign of the Washington
A'Capella Choir.
1t was announced that the Febru-
ary meeting of the association will
be held on the second Wednesday
of the month. w. E. Stoutameyer
presided over the meeting last night.

There is a strong family feeling
among these little creatures from
Africa. In captivity they cling to
old traditions, one Of which is to
have leader selected from the older
generation, and another a decided
respect for the property rights of

willing to be taught as are these

is eager cooperation, and all who
have had experience with them say
there are few animals who are more

To the ancient Egyptians, the
comomn monkeys of Africa were
well known, for they appear on their
old sculptures. The French have
given the name "Guenon" to these
quaint little animals, because they
have a funny little habit of making
faces. The real name is said to be
Holloway.
Diana monkeys are found only in
Africa and there are more than 20
species. Most of them are native
to the western side of the continent.
In captivity, the dianas are great
favorites. In disposition they are
mild, easily trained and very obedi-
ent to orders. None of them are
large. Indeed, their body length is
rarely over 10 inches. 1t Is their

The Axis Answered

Information OF what is actually transpiring
at Dakar is vague and fragmentary. But
from what is known, the de Gsulle expedition
against the French West African capital is an
answer to the Berlin-Rome Axis nations de-
cision to divide that continent among them
selves and the allies they hope to secure in
Spain and Portugal.
Another possibility, and one which bears
out the view expressed in these columns last
week, is that the British, with the assistance
Of the French forces under de Gaulle's COM
mand, will seek a bridgehead for landing
expeditionary forces there which could be
moved to the rear Of the Italian army attack.

Marshal GRAHAM would require exceptional
ability to escape.
The entire offensive may be designed to
with the hope Of further decentralizing the
attack on Britain. The London war command
will have taken into consideration the prob
ability of reprisal attacks on Gibraltar, md
the fact that it has proceeded with the Of
fensive leads to the conclusion that it has
either planned how to meet such an attack
or views it as a minor peril.
The undertaking may have deeper signi.
ficance than is thus far indicated. 1t may
be the start Of a major campaign to save
Egypt and the Suez Canal, or it may prove,
as limited, the launching Of a diversion which,
in combination with the Royal Air Forces
~bonbings across the channel and the North
sea, is intended to put another crimp in
Hitler's plans to invade England.
But whatever its purpose, it is evident that
Britain has at last reached the position where
it seems safe to take the initiative and carry
the war to the enemy in force. The bombing

The Soldier Vote

With the military training machinery set up,
it is interesting to observe its effect upon the
right to vote among trainees. An analysis BY
the Council Of State Governments after studies
in the Library Of Congress, Washington, re.
veals that National Guardsmen md drafted
men in service by November will be unable
to vote in six states if they are outside their
states on election day. In addition, Texans
who are in the army, navy or marines-but
not the National Guard and reserves-are com.
pletely DISTINGUISHED by their state.
The six which withhold the right to vote
from their legal residents in service, chiefly
because they lack absentee voting provisions,
are Kentucky. Mississippi, New Mexico, South
Carolina, Florida and Louisiana. In the first
four, state soldiers and sailors may vote il
uey can get home on election day. In Florida
they can vote during the period between IS
ana three days before election day if they can
get home, and in Louisiana they have the
privilege of voting from 10 to two days ahead,
NE" Mexico has made constitutional provision
Tor soldier-voting, but the legislature has not
acted to make it effective.
Soldiers are allowed to vote under ordinary
aosentee-voting provisions in Alabama, Arizo-
ma, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia,
loaho, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts,, Michi-
gan. Minnesota, Montana, North Carolina,
Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee.
Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West
virginia., Wisconsin and Wyoming, New Hamp-
shire permits absentee voting for presidential
electors only. Oklahoma's absent soldier-voters
will have to use proxies.
Ihe states which make specific provisions
1or those in military service to vote by mail
are Maryland, Missouri and Nebraska. New
Jersey makes such a provision applicable I'm

collection Of the soldier vote as the legislature

the soldier vote.
Other states which have made special pro-
visions to facilitate soldier-voting include Al r
kansas, Delaware, Illinois and Pennsylvania,
which collect the ballots where those in service
are stationed, as do Kansas, Maine, Nevada
