Wings

Junior aviation held full sway at
the Ann Arbor Airport Sunday
where the port was closed to flying
and given over to the model meet
conducted by the Ann Arbor Junior
Chamber OF Comme-ce.
Unusually good Z weather
and an attractive s.- ,ist brought
out 1913 contestants as well as a
large number of spectators. Train
ing ships used in the opt. pro-
gram were, however, on display at
the airport near the ONCE and ere
ated considerable interest.
A number OF Piper Cub planes
powered with Franklin, Lycoming,
and Continental motors are used
for primary training, and the Waco
model U-P-F-7 powered with 220
HIP. Continental motor is used for
acrobatic maneuvers in the secon-
dairy program. Advanced training
for commercial licenses is given on
the Stinson model S-R-9 which is
q five-place cabin plane equipped
with 245 HIP. Lycoming motor
with comfortable pitch propeller.
Even Oscar Aileron, feline mas
cot at the port. chose to stay under
cover, what with midget airplanes
diving and swooping Unexpectedly
at him from all directions.
First place in the four events OF
the model meet were won by the
following: Glass A, George Kenyon,
Lansing; Glass B, Ed Schultz, De.
troit; Glass c, Gerald Holly, Ypsi.
lanti: Rubber powered models, F.
Annas, Detroit.
The classes in which the planes
are classified depend on the dis.
placement Of the motors used, the
wing area and the weight of the
planes. In winning first place, Class
c, Gerald Holly, flying a ship which
he himself designed, had an aver.
age time Of 81 minutes, three Sec
-onds, which Is 7 minutes longer
than the national record for planes
in this particular class. His long
est single official fight was AZ

have three official flights so all

 Wendell Willkie is renounced as a Republican leader and denounced a political hoax by The Chicago Tribune Somewhat beatedy The Tribune seems have discovered that the candidate it sup ported for the presidency nominated by inter national bankers and the champagne and caviar liberals of the East" Now depicting Willke a fifth coumnist in the Republican Party throughout last years campaign, The Tribune summarizes: There wasn't any good to be got out of him. And let that be lesson to all of us."
 The Tribunes switch of opinion on Willke un- doubtedly will be lesson to many of "us," but possibly not to apply in quite the way. Such rancor The Tribune reveals rise only from recent provocaton. In making the revelation The Tribune an ardent Willkie booster just little while ago, risks loss of public confidence in it's judgment of
 Ever since willkie came out in favor of the lease-lend bill, with proper amendments and re- strictions, certain news commentators have been telling how bitterly Republican Headers" feel toward him. This IS just another attempt to promote dis sension. It goes back to those times when Republ- can leaders reported bitterly incensed when ever Herbert Hoover spoke up loudly enough to be heard.
 As defeated candidate Willkie at once reverted to the status of private citizen Though supported for election by nearly 23000000 American citizens, he has not assumed attitude of party leadership in anything he's said since his last speech of the campaign Neither has he said anything incom- patble with the opinions foreign policy he de- clared as candidate. Willkie's views haven't changed; the change, most noisly manifested by The Chicago Tribune, has been in others.
 Willkie is not in debt to that sort of Republican Party leadership which is said to be resentfu of his current activities He took of featy to such leaders, nor any VOW of silence until they permitted him to speak. Only those who fought against his nomination, and who gave grudgng help or none during his vigorous campaign, can be finding fault with him now From their viewpoint, perhaps, his greatest fault is in proving himself bigger man a better American, than they had guessed.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compeW
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18

Good and evil planetary aspects appear to balance in todays horo- scope. In the early morning there may be a sense of futility. How ever, the configuration stimulates mental powers and imparts reli- able foresight.
 Heart and Home: Again the stars seem to indicate that women should stay i. the background of world events. This indicates that they are to foresee the need of careful training for the future Once more war is to open new paths along which wives and daughters must move courageously It is a time for nurses and physi- clans of both sexes to prepare for extra demands upon them. Girls should follow their natural vacations with the thought that they must succeed for the good of the na- ton. This universal idea should supersede petty personal desires. Business Affairs: While the na- tion is enjoying plenty in it's period of prosperity it is well for indi- vidualS to conserve their resources The seers stress the importance of Independence and self-reliance as applied to communities. Waste of every sort should be eliminated and aid for the unfortunate should be of chief concern to corporations and business establishments, great and small The spring is to come with new anxieties, if the stars are wisely read. National Issues: Oil is to become much discussed as demand and supply threaten to reduce too great ly the nations stores which might be needed in war emergency. It will become more apparent, as March advances, that in strong de- fense measures the nation will preserve its freedom. There are signs of danger through premature peace efforts on the part of the dictators and in these, treachery to the United States may be in- volved. The radio is to become more and more helpful in warning and educating the public
 International Affairs: Rumors will multiply as the dictators meet more and more complications The stars presage mingled good and bad news regarding the British who must find a way to limit or pre- vent the loss Of shipping in suo- marine warfare. Night attacks from the air will continue. Desperate measures are forecast as pending in Nazi plans for extending total war. All the signs appear to pres age a terrible conflict through this year. Sudden coups may be expect ed as secrecy and treachery aid the Axis Powers.
 Persons whose birthdate it .s have the augury of experiences which demand caution and restraint Employees should be careful to ob-
