NaN's Air Corps
Demands for Young
Men Stepped Up
Increasing Numbers
Being Enlisted for
Pilot Training

Demands for a vast corps OF
young men for training in the fleet
of aircraft which will be the eyes of
the Navy in its operation in the ma
tional defense program is being step
ped up materially. In this branch of
the service. the naval will see one of
its greatest eXpanses in personnel,
and judging from the number of ap-
plications which are being received,
it Is proving one Of the most popular
of the armed branches.
Even with the rigid physical re-
quirement it was said that there is
considerable satisfaction over the
results which are being obtained. In
May of last year the naval training
facilities were receiving only 100
student pilots a month. They are
now receiving 900 student pilots a
month.
The tWo-ocean Navy plan has
placed a most important duty in
training the necessary pilots to be
added to this fleet, when consider
ing at the same time that the sur
face ships, which include the air.
plane carriers also must be supplied
with important officer operating per-
sonnel. In addition to the various
expansion of the land bases through
out the country and in the off-shore
island bases which are being estab-
lished on the territory of foreign
governments, the expanded two
ocean Navy will include total of 10
aircraft carriers, each of which will
| take not only a great number of fly
| ers, but maintenance crews of en-
listed as well as commissioned per-
| sonnel. In addition to this, personnel
must also be obtained from almost
| the same sources for the great ex-
| pansion in the Marine Corps air
activities, and these two services
must draw their talent from the
same field that the Army is trying to
| get its personnel.
There is a general rush to the
naval aviation bases, including the
one located at AnacoStia Scores of
young men are being taken there
each month, and after preliminary
test to determine whether they have
aptitude of the air service as we'll
as the physical stamina, they are
| sent to the main training stations
for the longer courses leading to
commissions as naval aviators. if
they pass through this period. For
this branch of the service, at least,
it was said there is not believed to
be a possibility that selective service
would have to be resorted to.

In the future days, which we
seek to make secure, we look for

essential human freedoms.
The first is freedom of speech
and expression-everywhere in the

The second is freedom OF every
person to worship God in his own
way-everywhere in the world.
The third is freedom from want
which translated into world
terms, means economic understand
ings which will secure every ma

world.
The fourth is freedom from fear
which translated into world terms

Mrs. George w. ROhrer, Toledo,
Ohio, formerly of this city, tells an
interesting story as related by her
father, the late Frederick A. Baker,
regarding his tip to California in
search of gold. Mrs. Rohrer states
that it was in 1852 when her father
left this county for the gold fields,
and sailing the ocean for two
months a number of those aboard
became i'll and some died.
The food supply became limited
On the trip. Hard biscuits were
soaked in beef soup for food, but
he said that it tasted good, One
day a vessel top was sighted. The
captain of the boat on which Mr..
Baker was sailing, was asked to
stop. There was no wind 80 the
captain was again asked by those
ON board to hail the American YES
sci.
This vessel had plenty of food
on board but the captain firmly re-
fused to stop it; however, sufficient
force was brought to bear on him
and he finally hailed the ship.
Then and only then did the hungry
passengers obtain a plentiful sup
ply of food.
Mr.. Bakers experience has
been versified by his daughter,
Mrs. Rohrer, as follows:
"On the fifth day of August, 1852,
We landed in San Francisco, the
journey thro.
From there we walked with budget
on back,
To Auburn again food did we
lack.
Then on to Yankee Jim,' hungry
and tired,

the food we desired;
but we Sat Oh Tie DOuSuS VI IHe

confess.
Then my successor, cook, came
with a tale,
The claim they had taken really
did fail.
