Historians viii likely find
some further interest in the
rather confusing fact that Ia
coma's first Water Carnival Was
actually put into motion by
bon voyage telephone call from
Massachusetts, by the mayor Of
Gloucester; thus was gotten
under way the afternoon Of
April "a, 1888, the races and
other rather impromptu water
stunts that were climaxed BY a
bedlam din Of cheers and footed
farewells as the Western FIX
plorer was escorted out Of the
hsrbor by an honorary armada
OF local vessels.
From that rather humble and
spontaneous beginning when
Martin Petrich scrubbed on the
back OF an old envelope as he
chatted with Joe Msrtinac rs
years ago and the latter success
fully and truthfully described a
glowing picture OF Tacoma's
bodybuilding future-has devel-
oped by a remarkably devious
route the four-hour presentation

White House.

Britain's desperate appeals,
rather than the vision of army
navy airmen, have been respon-
sible for the successive enlarge
ments in our military aviation
program. As with the general
stats of the French and British
our officials in charge Of ex-
psnding and undermining air
forces have shown an amazing
conservatism.
II was an American soldier
who first demonstrated the feas-
ibility OF parachuting to earth in
warfare. Yet II was not until
after the invasion Of Norway
that the u. s. formally adopted
this method OF skyfighting.
Army-nAvy racers invented dive
bombing in the middle 20's, but
its possibilities in battle were
neglected until recently.
American amateurs learned To
glide hundreds of miles more
than 10 years ago, yet only last
fall the war department advised
against the use Of gliders. Hit
Ter has 100 900 trained pilots for
these engineless ships. II is
doubtful IL the U. s. has 10000,
and they are mostly civilians.
Although plane torpedoes really
accounted for the death OF the
Bismarck. our navy hadn't
thought much OF them until a
few weeks ago.
Worse still. key men in the
Army-nayy air corps are stAunch
conservatives. There are a few
exceptions. but not many. Those
who supported General Billy"
Mitchell IS years ago have been
kept from promotion or have quit
IN disgust. The clique which
hailed his courtmartisl now Is
in control. The United States
has the capacity TO produce
planes. but II has not yet shown
the ability TO utilize anything
like their full potentiality in
warfare.

Editor, The Times: Here Is
an open letter to Franklin ID.

United States. I heard your fire

you had made that speech one

calling your attention to some
statements you made in your
speeches over the radio and to
the press, in the last few

At the New York Chautauqua
in 1886. you said, Industrial

a war market may give immense
fortunes to a few Den-for the

when you made ii? II 30. what
has changed your mind? An
other statement made by you on
Oct. 10th: while l am talking
TO you mothers and fathers,

your boys are not going to be
sent to any foreign war" Mr..
President. did you mean that?
II so what has changed your
mind?
You said only five years ago.
IF war should break out again
In another continent let US not
blink at the fact that we would
find in this country thousands
Of Americans who. seeking i'm

With the fourth annual
Water Carnival only a week
away, We guess it'll be all
right to dip into history
and see how the whole thing
started. 0kay?
A quarter Of q century ago
Martin A. Petrich. one Of this
eitys ablest building eontrac-
tors. was aboard a ferryboat on
his way to Gig Harbor TO make
an estimate Of repairs to one Of
The wharves there.
Aboard the same ferryboat
that trip. as it happened. was an
enthusiastic young shipwright
and bostbuilder named Joseph
II. Aartinac.
Some forgotten third person
WAS inspired to introduce the
two men. both of whom were
natives OF the Dalmatian coast
in old slavonia.
BY the time the ferryboat
completed the 15-minute trip,
Martin and Joe had formed a
bodybuilding concern. How IL
prospered and subsequent devel-
opments during the 25-year In
term IL a yarn for another
time.) And that was the very
first seed of the fourth annual
Water Carnival 10 be staged
here June Is.
The next pertinent portion of
our little history was the situation
four years ago: Martin Petrich
was by then las now president
Of the Western bodybuilding
Co, which in turn was produc-
ing splendid fishboats of the
purse-seiner type he helped to
develop.
Such a boat was the spank
ing new s0-footer. Western Ex-
plorer. She was a pioneer, an
experiment-a veritable explorer,
not alone for her name.
Now we introduce Hervey NJ.
Petrich, eldest Of the Petrich
sons. He had an idea that al
though the Grand Banks fisher
men of New England undoubt-
edly knew their profession after
many generations, and that the
Gloucester shipyards were un-
deniably picturesque with their
quaint schooners, lobster pots
and tumble down sheds fes-
TONED with ragged old nets and
somewhat older traditions-well,
a modern, efficient, comfortable,
smart and able fishboat such as
the Western Explorer would
probably find a ready buyer,
nevertheless.
Hervey just didn't believe the
old gag about carrying Goals to
Newcastle. As skipper Of the
Western Explorer he took her
through the Panama canal, DEM
onstrated her fishing prowess
and capabilities the entire
length Of the Atlantic sesbosrd
and did sell her readily. and the
last heard of her she'd forsaken
the fisheries to be an ice-breaker
in a Nova Scotia hsrbor and the
British navy was dickering to
put her sweeping mines in the
West Indies. but that's an
other warn. tool
