Merry CO. i.OuIiG-
The army and the navy can have
their own opinions, but our per-
Sonai recommendation for the Blind
Flying award for l941 and all time
will go to Harry Williams.
Henceforth Harry is welcome to
all the rights and privileges thereof
such as they are.
Harry's greatest "flighJ' and the
one upon which we base award of
the coveted honor took place on
the spur of the moment near Long
Beach. Although Harry was reluc-
tant to disclose the details of the
feat, friend supplied them.
Fog as thick buttermilk shrouded
The Long Beach district when Har-
ry took off by automobile. Only an
occasional light glistened in the
mist to guide him as he reached
the big traffic circle. He swung into
the circle and skillfully followed the
faint red light of a car ahead of
him. Several times the red light
went off, but then it reappeared
and confidently Harry continued to
follow.
He followed and followed and
followed and the red light kept
going off and then reappearing like
a Will-o'- -the-wisp. After a const1-
cradle period Harry decided that
either he was getting dizzy or the
world was, SO he started taking
."Soundings" at various intervals
aloEg the way and strangely enough
he found he had been going around
and around the traffic circle, fol-
lowing first one car and then an
other!
Stranded
For awhile Nose Gullett had a
few faint dreams of hitting it
rich" and then it rather slipped
his mind that he had grubStaked
a prospector to not only provisions
but a truck as we'll. The prospector
went out supposedly prospecting
and Nose went on about his busi-
ness and forgot about it all until he
heard the prospector had been liv-
ing in the northend and had a
pack of coon dogs and wasn't pros
pecting at all.
Hotter than a Minnesota stove
in mid winter, Nose headed for
Westmorland and found his friend
out in the sticks with his coon
dogs.
Nose confiscated the truck on
the spot and started home, figuring
the rest of the grub stake was just
a total loss.
How am I going to get back to
town now you've got the truck?'
pleaded the coon hunter.
Climb on one of those dogs and
ride back" advised Nose.

Anonymous Magazines.
AssaiIed by Educator

Passage of a law requiring all
magazines to print the names of
their publishers and place of pub
lication was urged last night by the
Right Rev. Msgr. P. j. Mccormick,
vice rector of Catholic University,
in talk broadcast over WINK.
Asserting that approximately 100
new "erotic or crime" magazines ap-
pear each year, many of them pub
lished anonymously, Msgr. McCor-
mick said:
Such action would force owners
and editors to reveal themselves to
public notice. When they are known
our American people may be de-
pended upon to deal effectively with
them.
While some may see in this
avalanches of indecent literature
only passing wave Of naturalism
or atheistic propaganda. it is evil
dent to all serious observers that
the ready victims of this inSidious
movement are the Young and i'm
mature whose reading habits may
be permanently debased and whose
morals hopeleSSlv degraded unless
something is done to prevent con-
tinuance of the evil"

Sixteen-year- old Daniel j. Kings

persons yesterday rated 1t "A" which
stands for excellent"
Son OF Mr.. and Mrs. lie Roy King
1919 Kanawha street NV, Daniel Is
a Junior at Woodrow Wilson High
School. Recently he was assigned to
write a composition on the idea that
half the world doesn't know how

The day Daniel got his paper back

II think III just take this with
me-" said Mr.. Kaufman.
Veteran of many Community
Chest campaigns, Mr.. kaufman yes
terday read Daniels composition
aloud to the Chest campaign workers
gathered at the Willard Hotel.
Young Daniel had written:
These times are nightly indie
ative of the fact that half the
world doesn't know how the other
half lives. AS Americans we are
endowed with more rights, privi-
leges and opportunities than any
other people on the earth. Yet l
would be so bold as to say that We
take our heritage for granted, and
that is not good at all.
Even though the gasoline short
age is a thing Of the past, for the
present I cite the fact that there
was no apparent sacrifice made,
while over in England they're all
riding bicycles.
Another proof of this lack OF
knowledge is to be had in the results
of most Community Chest cam
paigns, which generally fall short Of
their quotas. On the other hand,
if we could see the living conditions
in which the beneficiaries of this
great organization live, or if We had
to live their kind Of life for a
while. we would find ourselves far
surprising the Chests qouta every
year. With that thought in mind.
won't you give generously to the
Community Chest this year and
every year?"

Sition the teacher had written:

Fire Chief Porter

Inspector Arthur E. Miller, head
Of the traffic division of the Metro
politan Police Department, told
meeting of the Sixteenth Street
Heights Citizens Association last
night that failure to yield the right
of way at intersections and excess
sive speed have been the two most
important causes of accidents in
the District this year. and called
for more public education in mat
ters pertaining to safe driving.
1t is only through analysis of
accident records that one is able
to take stock of the situation and
make plans for the future, In
spectOr Miller said, adding that
while failure to yield the right of
way has been responsible for Is
per cent of all trafiic accidents this

ed for nearly so per cent Of

cidentS.
