"Wash-outs" Are Reclaimed as Bombardiers And Navigators Aboard Heavy Bombers
n A A
By PAUL HARRISON (NEA Service Stan CorrespOnd


 March Field, Riverside, Cal, March 26.-The Army Air Corps has begun to draw on rich store of aeronautical talent which until now has gone unnoticed. It will be good news for many hundreds of eager young men who didn't quite make the grade when they were trying to become the super-pilots required for our flying forces.
 They won't become pilots now, either, because standarsd haven't been lowered. But waiting for them in the new big bombers are new jobs, just as important and exciting.
 As navigators, they'll plot the sky routes of long range missions. As bombardiers, they'll operate that greatest of all the United States aeronautical secrets-the amazingly accurate bomb sight. They'll also be qualified as observ- CTS; and, as matter of routine, in aerial gunnery and radio. ALREADY HAVE
 FINE TRAINING
 Here at March Field, assigned for training with technical units, is a group of those cadets who were washed out" of the schools at Kelly or Randolph Fields, and sent home. They had been superior material at the beginning, surviving rigid tests which had turned back most of the applicants They completed their primary flying and had sailed

The plans for Sydney JOselO- yitck's new residence under Squaw Rock have been delivered and re- ports are that Contractor Charles Summers will soon start construc- tion. The plans are for a house built on skids, stills or blocks above ground level. The cellar will not be attempted until after the frost goes out and Long Bob Chase re- turns from the Short Wood Brook region. Bob will find way to get a cellar under the cottage in jig time.
 This construction job is typical of the times. Everyone Is in a hurry, except in Woodbury. Time is the important element these days. Only the schoolhouse job moves slowly and we hear that or- ders are to have that ready for use in September.
 Women are busy with new Red Cross frocks and hoods. A joker asked Smoky Jensen, the other night, how they intended to dress the new treasurer, the Reverend MT. Lindsay. Smoky couldn't ans- wer that one but he claims the outfits conceived for the ladies of the outfit are very trim and neat.
 The one place where a Red Cross uniform looks best to us, is behind a counter where the rations are piled high and the hot Java steams. We remember one such place north of Verdun, but it's bitter memory. Jerry bombed the layout the night we found 1t. The rations were scattered and few wounded men were killed.
 Connecticut industry makes no claim to patriotism that cannot be proven. The United Aircraft Cor. pOrati0n recently provided for the unemployment of men drafted, called by the National Guard or the Organized Reserves. Dating back to September 16th, 194O the outfit will also give employees of 6 months standing who are called for service one weeks pay and double that payment to men who have been employed a year or more. The corporation maintains Group Life Insurance c0verage on every employe for IA months after entry into the service.
 We thought that paternalism and genuine interest in employees welfare had slipped since Ira Hawkins quit manufacturing, but that is not the case. Here is one of the largest outfits in the East going to bat with dollars for the boys who are chosen to defend America.
 We saw 8 case of employer and employe getting on pretty nicely the other day when a farmer wOr- ked long hours digging path through the drifts on Brown Brook Road. The farmer has occasional employment at the estate of a city dweller with a summer lodge near by. The town forgot Brown Brook Road; the native remembered.
 Better support is warranted for the Veterans of Foreign Wars Dances at Southbury Community Hall. The vets did their bit for the town: it's time for the towns folk to dance.

 Just as well pleased as the cadets themselves with their reclamation is Brig. Gen. Frank D. Lackland, con- mander of the First Bombardment Wing, CHG Air Force.

A TRIP

A trip down the valley One day we started; Down the valley To take little ride; To drive away dull care And other things beside. It reminds me of the cottage, Up there on the bank, Where we lived so many years; Of the little brook that gurgled Meath the bridge along the way And where we lived so happily For many passing day We passed so many cottages And so many woodland scenes So many rocks and mountains And so many gushing streams While going down the river. It reminds me of my homeland And the railroad track below Which used to gaze upon So many years ago; And of the old-time station, Where stayed so many hours; Of the splendid garden, The potatoes, corn and flowers; Of the little brook that gurgled Meath the little bridge above And so many other scenes That I saw and fondly loved. Again my thoughts go back To that restless river Which we passed so many times While going on our way. Do you know that those troubled waters Get very tired on the way And that they rest awhile Tn those little eddies So many times day. But very soon again In great commotion They resume their journey Down the hill Until they reach the ocean
