For America
For knowledge and liberty we
stand
Fighters for our land
When the drums and bugles blare.
Our enemies better beware.
We have ammunition for every gun.
And battleshlps glare under the
sun.
The beat. beat, OF the soldiers feet,
AS they march to war down the
street.
But when they come back from
their fight.
Then peace will become a shining
light.

Northwest Glider
Club Sees Movies

At the invitation Of Amos
Woods, president of the Northwest
Soaring association, members of
the organization and their wives
met for dinner at the Half WAY
house Saturday evening after
which they saw motion pictures
taken in California.
Three members of the Seattle
club, all employed by the Boeing
Airplane company, attended the
meeting and it was Bud Titus. one
of the three, who made the trip
to California for an inspection of
glider activities in that state. 1t
was his pictures of the trip which
the members previewed.
Some idea of how California
goes for this thrilling sport may
be had when it is realized that
some 40 ships were seen on the
flying field at one time and the
pictures show five of them in the
air simultaneously. Several of the
ships were two-place jobs carrying
the pilot and his passenger. One
of the ships photographed re-
manned in the air more than five
hours the day Titus visited the
field.
The sport is making real head
way in Tacoma where the local
club already has a membership of
ten. Lamont Doty is president of
the local club and Cy Sims, one of
the founders, is vice president.
