Scout companion of many years,

We find he was the president of
the freshman class.
If | can remember that far back,
l believe Bill received his first let
tiers for basketball and track.
Another school year has begun
and Of course Bill is sophL He is
again an official of the class. DO
you think Bill failed to get his let
tiers in sports? Oh no, he got them.
Three of them.
During his junior year is when
we're quite proud of Bill. We tied
for first in pole vaulting at the
state track meet. What is he go
ing to do with all those letters?
Active Bill was on the annual staff,
and vice president Of Boys Club.
His last year of Libby Hi, / be-
lieve, was best and busiest OF all.
He was president of the almighty
seniors, president of the boys club,
captain of football team, and head
OF the assembly committee. He re-
ceived his Il" for football.
After leaving school, he took up
aeronautics and is now flying one
of those huge transport planes.

others who have worked on farm, add

OF course, I realize that this daylight

out in the first place for people working
in Offices and other indoor places, so that
they could be freed from their confine-
ment earlier in the day and SO enjoy a
few more hours of summer sunlight and
leisure and games outdoors.

Suggests That Pacifists
Move TO India.

To the Editor of The Star:
1t would appear that the pacifists and
the America First Committee are greatly
dissatisfied with the moral status of the
American way of life because of its con-
nection throughout the history of the
United States with war and because of
its potential relation to war at this
time. The pacifsts and America First
Committee are loud in their condemna-
ton of the Nation and its leaders as
those leaders are making preparations
to protect the priceless heritage Of lib
erty that has been handed down to us
While the mo war" groups of this
Nation manifest the bitterest form of
unrest and resentment toward their
Government, we remind them that there
is land to which they might migrate
and find everything to their liking. That
land is India, where the ideology-"no
war"-of Gandhi holds complete sway.
Beneath Gandhis banner the American
pacifists and the America First Commit
tee could find unruff1ed peace and rest.

a certificated elders and IA glider
pilots holding Federal certificates of
competency. 1t is reported that none
of the A certifcated gliders is of a
type suitable for military training
purposes. The C. A. A. in the sum-
mer of 1899 attempted to establish
glider training in connection with
its civil pilot training program. BY
Scraping the barrel, it found funds
with which to provide one months
training for 20 students. The pro-
gram collapsed for lack of money,
equipment and instructors. Before
the outbreak of the war, Germany
had between 100000 and 100000
trained glider pilotS-trained at gov
eminent expense. Evidently, Ger

pay dividends.

try is to be given an opportunity to
satisfy his urge. The registrants,
reporting at enlistment stations in
the public schools beginning Tues
day, may list themselves for such
voluntary activities as tipping, first
aid, cooking, automobile driving,
public speaking and even police
work. When all available qualifica-
tions and skills have been recorded
and classified, the committee will
tackle the job of selecting men and
women for urgent tasks related to
the emergency. 1t is quite possible
that many of those who register will
not be called Immediately, but the
existence Of list of potential VOL
unteers should be of great value if
sudden need should develop in the
future.
Thus, the forthcoming registra-
ton of pon-draft age civilians is
matter of tremendous moment to
Washington in these critical days.
In view OF the short time available to
publicize the program and to make
arrangements for the registration,
the unstinted and united efforts of
committeeman, council members and
the public generally are essential to
the success of the enterprise. Mean
while, the Commissioners should take
steps to secure an appropriation with
which to finance such vital under
takings of the District Defense Coun-
Gil. 1t is reported that fund of
$4,000 will be sought for such pur-
poses. This request would be rea-
sonable. 1t would be most unfor-
tunate if the home defense program
suffered for lack of money needed to
carry out the program effectively.

Citizens and Defense

1t is an important and complicated
task which the Committee on Volun-
teer Service of the District Defense
Council has undertaken in connec-
ton with the city-wide registration
next week of citizens desiring to VOL
unteer for special service during the
national emergency. With the reg
istration period proclaimed by the
Commissioners for June 10, II and
IL, the need for hasty preparation
to enroll the thousands of men and
women expected to offer their serv-
ices is obvious. Since no funds are
available at present to employ cler-
ical help or to defray other expenses,
the entire project must be admin
istered by voluntary organization.
The various committees Of the Dis
trict Defense Council are pioneering
in several fields, and hence are
handicapped by lack Of experience
and, in some instances, by q lack Of
coordination.
In spite of these difficulties, the
committee is working assiduously to
perfect plans for the novel recruit
ment Of a home defense civilian
army of men and women capable of
performing wide variety of duties
in the emergency-now or later.
The citizen who, although unable to
serve in the Army or the Navy,
wishes to do something for his coun-

Glider Warfare

Fleets of troop carrying gliderS
have been used successfully by the
Germans in their European and
Mediterranean campaigns. They first
made their appearance in the Low
lands in May, 1910, and are credited
with having made possible the
breaking of the Belgian defenses by
landing troops which took such vital
key points as the Albert Canal forts
and established bridgeheadS in Bel
GUM. The Germans, on the face OF
all the evidence, were we'll satisfied
with the results they obtained from
the use of elders. This is atteSted
by the appearance of even larger
gliders in the Cretan campaign.
Great fleets of gliders, each reported
to have carried eight fully armed
soldiers, with machine guns, light
cannon and grenades, were used in
the conquest of Crete, which stands
as the model of aerial invasion.
With this pattern of conquest be-
fore the world, it is somewhat dis
turbing to realize that the United
States as yet has done nothing about
the troop carrying glider. 1t was
only after the launching of the
Cretan campaign that the Army Air
Corps called upon glider designers
and builders in this country to pre-
pare plans and specifications for
gliders of troop-carrying sizes. 1t is
more disturbing to find, however,
that at the time the Air Corps was
making this request, Secretary of
War Stimson and Acting Secretary
of the Navy Bard were turning
thumbs down on the only legislation
pending before Congress which
would provide for glider-pilot train
ing in this country.

rautics Authority show that on June
there were in the United States only

Tells of Infant Opera
Directed by Lovers Of Children.
To the Editor Of The star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
At Charlottesville on Saturday a playlet
was given by little children 21a to years
of age. They sang, they danced, they
acted, but above all else they gave alb
sorbing and enchanting pleasure to an
audience thrilled by their spirit. 1t was
a fve-scene adaptation of Humperdinks
"Hansel and Gretel," and as I watched
this miniature opera unfold it seemed
to be symbolic of a power which nothing
can destroy. For children never change,
children always are, and children al
ways will be-
These children had been disciplined
and trained efficiently, for here were
tiny tots singing the familiar solos as
originally written, with chorus work back
stage by little and year old voices
one of the most remarkable perform
ances I have ever been privileged to
attend.
But again as I watched and listened,
saw this as different type Of war work
different from bombing planes, tanks,
nurses, Red Cross. Bundles for Britain
no fanfare, no radio, no speeches-just
the work of two quiet women who love
music and art and above all little
children. If our soldiers feel there are
such leaders among those dear to them
at home, those who will keep their
children close to flowers, to birds, to
angels, and even witches and hobgob-
Inns; or if in some way, such presenta-
tons could be given at camps. the
place would be packed not with women,
but with men, fathers and brothers
stimulated to live and to win the war,
to save democracy for the little children
of the land, yes, for the preservation of
childhood throughout the world.
Let us therefore recognize the great
inestimable value of the quiet, modest,
patient women, working in forgotten
places. Let us use them more and more.
MRS. S. C. GODFREY.
