The wedding out process rapid, and cuts down the avail. able inanpower tremendously Canada's available material is very limited, so that the advent of youngsters from the United States has become 8 vital factor in the air training plan.
 Thousands of Americans, young and not so young, with mechanical and engineering skill and experi- ence, are coming up to join the ground crews. They all want tc fly and do battle, but when the weeding out process starts ano they realize they cannot make the age or physical limits, they stay on to do ground job, which has become a vital part of the war in the air.
 Many of the young Americans get their commissions without much difficulty. Others have to take longer training. A knowi- edge of mathematics is one of the prime requisites of the modern air fighter.
 Britain wants men now in case of attempted invasion," said Major Power "So we're giving her what she wants. A fighter now is worth two next fall, Fe we've gone all out to get the 1ner ready. We have as many now a' we originally planned to hav' ready by next August"
 American planes and American volunteers have been of material help in this scheme. And when, as and if the Luftwaffe strikes, the Empire airmen, with their American buddies, will be on the spot--watching, waiting, striking.

fought in the blitz last September could say: We were never short of planes last September. We went up at 4 a. m. and kept at 1t until night. If we lost machine, our engineer officer phoned the Group Engineer and another plane was there by next morning, or even the same afternoon"
 Since then the efforts of United States industry have relieved the pressure of the need for planes great change from the days, not much more than a year ago, when the few planes which could be ob- tained south of the border had to be lowed across the international boundary.
 Now 1t can be told - that many American pilots, flying planes to the border said: ITO hell with 1t, we're coming through" and they delivered the planes directly 10 the R. c. A. F. They would have taken the planes straight across the Atlantic if they had been per- mitted. That was the first really heartening gesture the R. c. A. F. got from American airmen, and U. s. airmen have been steadily increasing those gestures.
 MANY GET
 COMMISSIONS EASILY
 The major problem of the Air Training Plan is to get the keen, intelligent youngsters which the present air battles call for. The men who flew tho old Jennies of 1914-18 could not fly the swift, hurt ling combat planes of today.
 The need is for young men of 18 to 25. The limit is 1928. They have to be A-plus physically and have had at least four years of high school.

Frozen ruts get soft and goo-ey, Cars get stuck, phooey phooeyl Frozen roads off the beaten path Present late season aftermath Melting ice on overhanging rocks Slithers down in bits and blocks.

A, Louisiana visitor with a Chrysler came to the Pomperaug Country just as the blizzard ar- rived. Unable to cope with the heavy snow, he attempted to race his motor and spin his wheels through the drifts. A neighbor reports that the southern gentle- man succeeded in just about wrapping that car around a maple tree upstreet.
 Representative Robert c. Mit- chell is reported to have dined four times with the head of the defective hospital recently. The town has yet to secure what is regarded as 8 satisfactory adjust ment in lieu of taxes on the State-purchased lands in town.
 Our largest taxpayer, forced to drive through two other townships before reaching the Town Hall, was reported absent from the re- cent Town Meeting. Perhaps she has just given up all hope of hav- ing a road? Perhaps she figures that it's cheaper to pay. taxes levied and to save the gas and tire wear necessary in registering complaint. Anyway, she is on our prospect list for that Taxpayers League, and the news of her pos- sible support is indeed encourage ing. Our Taxpayers League will : be largely supported by people who have silently paid the run ming expenses of this town with out having enjoyed voice in the government.
