For each plane in the air, at least seven skilled men are required on the ground"
 Thus Sgt. William F. Deuth, Post Office Bldg. Waterbury, Conn. to- day described one of the problems now being solved by the U. s. Army Air Corps as 1t plunges into the greatest job in Its history-rapid ex- panion destined to make 1t one of the strongest air forces in the world.
 And skilled men don't grow on trees. The Air Corps knows this, Sgt. Deuth said, but 1t has an an- Swer. Give us the material" Air Corps men say, in effect. t."-good men, intelligent and ambitious, and we'll give them the skills."
 Which is why Sgt. Deuth told his story today. The Air Corps needs more men to fill Its growing needs. If they are mechanics and ma chinsits, welders and electricians clerks and typists to start with, so much the better. But they need not be, for the Air Corps maintains an extensive system of schools for the express purpose of making crafts- men, artisans and skilled workers out of raw material.
 Sgt. Deuth asserted that the "sev- en to one" ratio Is actually conserv- ative, for the number of ground workers required to Keep 'em Fly ing" might easily be counted at as many as thirty. This would take in not only mechanics and similar workers, but also radio men, wealth. CT observers and forecasters, tele- type operators, traffic control men and the many others who are en- gagged in the day-to-day operation of Uncle Sam's far-flung network of airfields, depots, training centers and the like.
 To supply the thousands of men required for work of all types, the Air Corps system of technical schools is maintained with head quarters at Chanute Field, Illinois. Here regular courses are given for mechanics, machinists, metal work CTS, welders, link trainer instructors parachute triggers, teletypists and weather observers. In addition, there are advanced courses in carburetor, electrical, instrument and propeller work and weathre forecasting.
 When young man completes one of these courses he Is expectde to be eligible for the rapid promotion which expansion of the corps makes possible.

ROHS OCCUPIES
 KRON'S PULPIT
Naugatuck Man Zion Luth. eran Speaker Sunday;
 Pastor Is Delegate

The silver jubilee of the New Eng land Luther League will be held in Manchester, Conn, this coming weekend, when the organization hold its twenty-fifth annual con- vention. Organization took place at a meeting in Hartford November il and 12, 1916, according to an ac- count in The New England Luther League, monthly publication of the organization, which was published today.
 Rev. J. Herman Olsson, then pas- tor of Zion Evangelical Lutheran church of Waterbury, was organizer and fire president of the youth group, a position he held for several years.
 It is an interesting coincidence that the president at. the twenty fifth anniversary Is the present pas- tor of Zion church. In his absence next Sunday to take part in the convention, Eldon Rohs of Nauga- tuck will occupy the pulpit.
 The tWo-day program opens Sat- urday afternoon with a business session, provided over by the Rev. E Einar Kron of this city. In the evening there will be & panel dis cussion, conducted by group of young people, after which a social hour will be held. Sunday morn- ing service of Holy Communion will be held. The New England Conference Chorus of several hun dred voices will practice at 2:30 in the afternoon and sing at the in- spiratlonal rally at 4 o'clock. Speak ing at this rally, which will be held in South Methodist church of Man.

Nearly 600 graves of World War veterans will be decorated next week as the City of Waterbury pre- pares for it's annual observance of Memorial Day. The custom of placing an American flag or a pot ted plant on the graves of the young men who served in l9l7-lS, will be observed by Corporal Coyle post, American Legion.
 Tn an annual statement issued in connection with the sale of peoples, Wallace J. 1nglis, chairman Of the Legion's poppy committee, annourlc- ed that in 1o40 the sum of $l2072 was expended in decorating graves. During the past year more than @ score of veterans responded to the last cali and their last resting places will be honored this year

Deuth said the prospective stu dent must be between the ages Of IS and %, unmarried, normal phy- sically, and possessed of high school education or It's equivalent. Enlistment in the Air Corps Is for three years. During this time the young soldier may decide to make the Regular Army his career, but Ill any event he Is afforded an oppor- tunity to learn trades which un- doubtedly will be of use to him Ill later life.
 At Scott Field, Illinois, another sort of Air Corps School Is estab- lished. There at the Air Corps 1n- stitutc; correspondence school serves enlisted men throughout the corps. It offers a variety of courses, including grammar composition and rhetoric, letter writing, military cor- respondence, spelling arithmetic, algebra and elementary chemistry, besides mechanics, maintenance, sheet metal work, radio, drafting electrical engineering, automobile and practical telephony.
 Tn this school enrollees have an advantage over many civilians who take correspondence courses, Sgt. Deuth pointed out. Most enlisted men have daily, direct contacts with the subjects which they study. The school has facilities for l000Q. enroll lees and the stated aim of the courses Is ito fit Air Corps men for advancement"
 In addition to these schools, the Air Corps sends It's men to civilian schools, technical and clerical, fin lo- calities near Air Corps posts where all of their expenses are paid while they take courses which would cost them a great deal of money as civil- fans.
 Sgt. Deuth urged young men of Waterbury to query him about the opportunities of the Air Corps.
 T know 1t sounds trite," he said, But 1t really Is a case of getting in on the ground floor though 1t cer- tainly isn't a matter of first come first served They'll all have an equal opportunity. We need them.'
