of a narrow passageway opening
into a labyrinth of nets that so
confuse a fish that it cannot get
out.
In large room we found gray
metal tanks containing crustaceans.
What interested me most were the
sand fiddlers. which ranged from 3
to 5 inches in length. I was amazed
to discover that these in their in
fancy are the tiny crabs found on
oysters. One crab with a claw about
twice the size of his body convinced
me that he wasn't as friendly as
those in the infant stage.
Next was the 1shroOm, where I
saw some bluefish and large rock.
The rock were all tagged and ready
to be turned loose. The tags were
for identification, so that when the
fish were caught the hatchery could
be notified and thus find out how
far the fish had Travelled since
their liberation. I saw one blue
fish hungrily cycling a rock. I Won

When they called her name, Janet
was a most surprised but extremely
happy girl.
At the camp the girls were as

mates we're from the Barbados Is
lands. Canada. Illinois. Connecticut,
New Hampshire and ssachusetts
Each cabin in unit had special
job which changed from day to day
For example the girls in one cabin
would get supper one day wash
dishes the next and on the third
have charge of cleaning up. AL

pared and eaten in the unit. break
fast and dinner brought all 125 of
the Scouts together.
Swimming. canoeing. boating and
horseback riding kept the girls busy
during the day, and every evening
there was the traditional gathering
around the campfire. This time was
spent in singing and serious discus
sion. One evening they had a fish
fry on the shore of Blair Pond,
which is in reality large lake
The fish, salted, wrapped in waxed
paper and put in paper bags, were
placed among the Goals of a fire
where they cooked for about IS
minutes. Those that didn't burn
proved to be true delicacy.
Janet lives at 7708 Takoma ave-

scouting, she is interested in sports,
particularly swimming and ice skat-
ing. She is an accomplished piaris,
and also is gifted in the use of nee

Wings for
Youth

GIRLS AS ARMY FLYERS.

GIRLS AS ARMY FLYERS.
In addition to her many flight
records, Jacqueline Cochran has
still another Jackie" was the first
woman pilot to deliver an American
built Hudson bomber to England.
1t is doubtful if the feat could be
duplicated by any of the 2,258 certi-
fed woman pilots in the United
States. Ferrying bombers is job
that demands ample experience and
training, besides a passing grade in
stiff ferry pilots examination.
Mrs. Vita Roth, managing director
and treasurer of the Women Flyers
of America, believes that women
should be trained to ferry planes
across the United States or from
the manufacturer to the airport,
and relieve the men for more i'm
portant duties. Any girl who holds
a commercial license and has had
the proper number of flying hours
would be eligible.
The United States Army Air Corps
has already acted on this suggestion
and has requested the registration
of all qualified woman pilots with
200 hours or more of flying expert
ence, interested in the possibility of
assisting in the ferrying of aircraft
under the jurisdiction of the Army
Air Corps Ferry Command. The job
is to be a full-time one with a salary
to be determined at later date.
Ferrying. airplanes has been sue
cessfully carried out under great
difficulties and often in extreme
hazards by woman pilots in England,
members of the Royal Air Transport
Auxiliary, Section D.
It may be that similar auxiliary
will be organized by the United
States Army, not for ocean ferrying,
but entirely for land. All signs point
that way now.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Norman
Thomas, Socialist leader, said last
night that Adolf Hitler, until re-
Gently. had been extraordinarily
patient in the face of repeated acts
of war directed by our Government
against him."
In speech over CHS. network,
Mr.. Thomas added that he had dis
covered on Western speaking tour
that more and more Americans are
accepting Realistically the war
which they do not want"
Describing the Presidents Navy
Day speech as "the least sincere in
his distinguished career as an ora
tor" Mr.. Thomas declared the
President talked "as if Hitler could
be defeated if someone. evidently
not ourselves. should compel him
to dig in without our despatch of
great expeditionary forces" and
added:
II charge that for Mr.. Roosevelt
to encourage this belief can mean
only one of two things: Either he is
willing to make an appallingly reck-
less gamble of a cheap victory, or
else once more he is trying to fool
the people by easy stages into total
war"

La Guurdiu and O'Dwyer
End Major Part Of
Campaign at Rollies

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov 3.-Mayor La
Guardia and Brooklyn's District At
torney William ODwyer headed into
the home stretch of their bitter,
name-calling mayoralty campaign
today amid a furry OF conflicting
predictions as to who would run
the worlds largest city for the next
four years.
For the Mayor who closed his
campaign with the backing OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the leaders OF
the Republican, American Labor,
City Fusion and United City parties,
Campaign Manager William M.
Chadbourne predicted plurality
Of about 100000 votes.
For Mr.. ODwyer, the Kings
County prosecutor, best known for
the smashing of Brooklyn's in
famous murder ring and who had
the support of Gov. Herbert H.
Lehman, former Postmaster Gen.
eral James A. Farley and the lead
ers of Tammany Hall and the
Democratic party, 250,000 plurality
was predicted by Democratic Ma
tional Chairman Edward j. Flynn.
Close Vote Seen by Some.
Many observers, however. pre-
dicted the vote in tomorrows bal
loting would be close and some quar-
ters even suggested it would be the
closest election since 1905, when
George B. Mcclellan defeated Will
Gam Randolph Hearst by 3,478 votes.
Although last-minute speeches
and appearances were on the sched-
ules of both candidates today, the
major fireworks of the campaign
really came to an end at their re-
spective rallies last night.
Mayor La Guardia, seeking
third term, challenged Democratic
Leaders Flynn, Christopher D. Sulli-
van and Frank V. Kelly to make
known publicly their stand on the
question of county reform.
Il challenge their sincerity, their
good faith and their honesty and
demand that they declare them
selves on county reform no later
than tomorrow morning" the Mayor
said
Il ask them to make a public
statement and permit their carbon
copy candidates to make public
statements favoring county reform"
Vote on Eliminating Offices.
The voters will ballot on PROPOSE
tions to eliminate the Offices of
county sheriff and county register
in each of the city's five boroughs
In favor of city-wide Offices.
Mr.. O'Dwyer, at his rallies, de-
clared that the Mayor, in a state
ment purporting to answer specific
questions he had posed, had lodged
the issue
1T Mayor La Guardia's state
ment is masterpiece of evasion
1t is the acme of concealment Not
line in it answers or even mentions
the major charges which I have
directed to him during the cam
paign," Mr.. O'DWyer said -.,,
Mayor La Guardia will conclude
his campaign with an appearance at
his lucky corner at One Hundred
and Sixteenth street and Lexington
avenue.
Ever since 1924, when he first was
elected to Congress from the twen-
tieth district, Mr. La Guardia has
made the final appearance of every
campaign at his lucky corner"

dark topcoat.

power and glory and the certainty OF the
fulfllment of His eternal purposes. Jesus
said: When ye pray, use not vain repe-
titions" The prayer He gave. commonly
called the Lords Prayer" universally is
used and by men and women of every
religious persuasion. 1t is designed 10
effect a unity OF spirit, unity OF worship
and ultimately unity Of faith.
We need an increase of the devotional
habit in our life today. Men ought
always to pray and not to faint. 1t was
written of the Master that: "As He
prayed the fashion of His countenance
was altered" and again that. being IN
an agony He prayed more earnestly" II
He needed the supporting power OF
prayer, surely we need it. May this
simple prayer requested by one who is in
the sunset period Of life. prove helpful
and renewing, and may it prompt in all
who use it a greater desire to seek more
frequently and with greater definiteneSs
of purpose the throne of divine grace:
Almighty God, who in Thy holy word
hast promised that they that wait upon
Thee shall renew their strength, that
they shall run and not be weary, I pray
Thee that Thou wilt grant me courage
and increasing faith as the years null
tiply All along the way of my earthly
pilgrimage Thou has been my guide; to
Thee owe the many rich and abundant
blessings of life. In these latter years,
pray Thee to continue to make my
paths straight and my trust in Thee
secure. Make me to see more closely the
way that leadeth unto life eternal.
Grant to me such an understanding
Of Thy purpose concerning me that I
shall not falter or fail in attending the
fulfillment of all that Thou wouldst have
me be. If shadows fall across my path
way, If weakness be my portion, may I
know more perfectly the joys of that
eternal Kingdom toward which I am
Fastening on. To Thee. my Heavenly
Father, offer this my humble petition in
the name OF Him who has redeemed me,
Thy Son, my Savior Jesus Christ.

Recreation Program

Pending before the District Com
missioners in connection with 1943
budget recommendation is suggeS-
ton by the National Capital Parks
Office for a co-ordinated plan for
development of recreational facilities
in the city.
In 1880 adoption of the far-seeing
Capper- -Cramton Act provided for &C
QUESTION of one of the worlds great
municipal park systems. Annual ap-
preparations under that law have
provided for well-planned increases
in areas reserved for parkWays and
Fairgrounds. But no definite provi-
sion ever has been made for develop
ment of the lands so acquired. And
in recent years, because of population
growth, need for such program
has become increasingly obvious. In
all sections of the city are areas set
aside for improvement of the health
and morale of the community which
are practically useless.
While these are not the times for
adding to governmental expenditures,
and the suggested plan would call for.
an s18,0O0,000 long-term advance
from the Federal treasury, it should
be remembered that the Capper-
Cramton Act originally called for an
annual amortization of S10OO000,
which later was reduced to 100000.
The Capitals recreational facilities
are more than a purely local asset.
Their development should be pro-
vided for under a carefully worked
out plan which progressively would
achieve the results desired without
placing an undue burden on the tax
payers of the District
