Tho Navy yesterday gave the
youth Of America an opportunity to
aid in the war when it asked for
immediate construction of 100000
scale models of the worlds fighting
airplanes.
The little ships, to be made ac-
cording to plans supplied by the
Bureau of Aeronautics of the Navy
and the Office of Education in the
Federal Security Agency, will be
used for aircraft recognition training
and gunnery sighting practice in
the Naval flight training program.
They also will be used to educate
civilians in aircraft recognition.
The models, to be made to the
precise scale of one to u inches,
will include some so different types
Of fighting planes, both OF this and
other countries. The quota for
the District Is 2,500, for Virginia
5000 and for Maryland $500. Ger
tificates will be awarded to youths
who produce acceptable models.
The Navy explained the value of
the models in training gunners. and
said that a model seen at IS feet
is identical with the full-sized plane
of that type seen at just under a
half mile.

Snowshoers Schedule
Competitive Events

QUEBEC, Province of Quebec, Jan.
3l.-Although skiing has largely su-
perseded snow shoeing as sport
in this winter sports center. there are
still many French-Canadian die
hards who stick to the humble snow
shoe as a means of winter travel.
These snowshoes, known in French
Canada as "racquetteurs," have
drawn up an active program for the
next six weeks or 80. Events planned
include sports day for the Montgom-
cry local union, under the auspices Of
La Bucheron Club, with snowshoe
races for the Quebec district cham
pionship on February 8; Sports Day
at Lewis, across the river from Que
bee, February IS and the semiannual
convention at St. Jean, Province of
Quebec, for all snowshoers in Quebec
Province, February %.
On March IS there will be BAN
ouet at the Chateau Frantence here
to close the seaaon, when prizes won
during the winter will be awarded to
the successful snowshoers.

as necessary. -.
have heard there are rumors
about restrictions on our activities,
and I can assure you that they are
unfounded. Life is entirely normal
in South Florida-the sun continues
to shine, the sand Is just as soft as
ever and ocean bathing Is just as
delightful. The deep-sea fishing
fleet is out In the Gulf Stream on
every fair day. We feel that we
owe it to those who need the health
building climate and activities of
this subtropical area to offer haven
of rest in troubled world. ..
We know that some of our guests
are having difficulty in deciding to
visit Florida because of a feeling Of
insecurity resulting from our loca-
ton on the seashore. No one can say
definitely where the lightning will
strike. of course, but to us who live
here any such feeling seems to be
quite unfounded. I can assure you
that there is no alarm whatever in
this section, and I really believe
that most Of us who have our fam
lilies here feel that it is one of the
safest places they could be. -.
I know there are some who con-
slider a Florida vacation an extrava-
gance which may even be considered
unpatriotic in these troubled times.
I do not feel that I should express
an opinion one way or the other on
that point, as it would naturally be
prejudiced. Those who are inf1u-
enced by this point of view, however
might perhaps consider the history
of the war in such places as Canada
and England-in both these coun-
tries, despite the fact that their sole
purpose is all-out war, every effort
has been made to carry on normal
civilian pursuits so long as they do
not interfere with the war effort. =.

be q year Of many last-mmute reser-
vations, because it Is difficult to

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Jan. 3l.-"But

pilot of a four -motored British
Liberator bomber in reporting the
riddling of two Nazi bombers in a
dogfight and the strafing Of a Ger
man submarine and warship during
a 15-hour coastal patrol flight.
The crews report to British in
telligence officers was released today
by Consolidated Aircraft Corp,
manufacturer of the Liberator.
High over the Bay of Biscay, the
bomber's gunner spotted German
Heinkel seaplane streaking for shore
near the surface of the sea- The
pilot threw the Liberator into a
steep dive.
I'VE brought all our guns to
blazing in turn and shot him up
thoroughly" the pilot reported.
"One gunner blasted pieces of the
Heinkels fuselage and his next
burst set fire to one Of its engines.

The sub dived, leaving a patch Of

Then the second Heinkel came

Standard Oil Co. Sells
0i|Fie|ds 10 Bolivia,
Ending Old Dispute
Deal Removes Longtime
Obstacle to Nations
Good-Neiehbor Policy
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Oldest stumbling block to
the good neighbor" policy of the
United States in Latin America was
kicked aside yesterday.
This came about when the STAN
dard Oil Co. of New Jersey sold its
oil fields in Bolivia to the Bolivian
government for $1,500,000. The
fields had been appropriated by
Bolivia in 1897.
The action frees from controversy
war prize on which Adolf Hitler
had fixed his eyes for a long time.
The Bolivian oil wells produce such
high grade of fuel it can be poured
directly from the wells into auto
mobile gas tanks.
Nazis F0ment Labor Trouble
To try to win control of the wells
Nazi agents for the last few years
have fomented the poorer laboring
and Indian classes into near revolt
against Yankee imperialism"
When German Minister Ernst Wen
dler was elected from the country
last year for revolutionary plotting,
some of his alleged accomplces
were seized while travelling in the
oil fields.
The Germans. after yesterdays
agreement, have nothing to center
discomfort on. They lose prestige
by the move not only in Bolivia. but,
throughout Latin America One of
the strong psychological factors in
Latin American relations Is that
any friendly or unfriendly move
toward one is taken as kindness
or an affront to all.
Problem For Five Years.
The oil dispute was looked on,
in South America, as q remnant of
what the Latins considered dollar
diplomacy" It had been a handi-
cap to mutual cooperation, nearly
five years, for Bolivia seized the
oil fields long before the more
famous Mexican oil appropriation
was undertaken.
The Bolivian government had
charged the Company with with
holding taxes, giving oil to Argen-
tina while refusing it to Bolivia,
and interfering with Bolivian con-
duct of the Chaoo war against Para
quay.
The Company fought the case
to the Bolivian Supreme Court,
and lost it there.

Places Fail to Draw

son, but sudden war in the Pacific
ended any such expectation.
From almost two months of war,
merchants, hotel owners and others
who cater to winter travel and trade
have come to realize that for the
duration thousands of regular visi-
tors will be engaged busily in the job
Of war and will have no time for
play on the beaches and in the night
clubs.
Nevertheless. the resorts OF sub
tropical Florida have not found 1t
necessary to shut up shop. On sunny
DAYS, the beaches are crowded with
sun-and-surf bathers. The night
clubs get heavy patronage. The
principal fishing tournaments still
draw their thousands Of confirmed
anglers. Baseball training camps
prepare for usual February openings,
although many stars are missing.
The winter sports program goes on
almost unchanged and in at least
one branch-horse racing-is setting
new records for attendance and play.
Some New Hotels Suffer.
Those who now are hardest hit are
the owners of some new hotels and
apartment houses who expected one
more grand winter of spending be-
fore war broke and therefore pre-
pared for what might have been the
States greatest tourist year Many
of these, situated in outlying Sec
tions or in poorly located areas
haven't gotten the overflow that
would have given them adequate
patronage.
In the same fashion, trailer camps,
depending on the now heavily re-
strieted automobile trade. find busi-
ness short of expectations. Yet,
those with beach frontage or close
to centers of activity are doing big
business; suffering chiefly are those
with poor locations.
Building generally outran the
need for new accommodations. At
Miami Beach, in 194l, there were
constructed 81 new hotels with zoos
rooms, and So new apartment houses
with 443 apartments. Some of these
suffer where old-line establishments
with regular clientele report no
cause for complaint.
Hialeah Records Broken.
Besides all these factors, South
Florida for the first time in many
years is operating with a minimum
of illegal gambling. Under COM
bined law-enforcement drive, gam
bling houses have been closed, book
making has been all but wiped out
and the inveterate gambler must
turn to the legalized gambling pro-
vided at the race track.
As result, the fashionable race
meeting at Hialeah Park is breaking
records on every side. In its first
two weeks, Hialeah handled S5,416,-
925 of bets, against S5,076,339 last
year, and accommodated 129,125
fans against crowds of 09,160 in
the same period last year.
These figures, authenticated by
the State Racing Commission for
tax purposes, resulted from heavy
patronage in spite of a strict new
rule against issuance of passes to
the tracks and a new State tax Of 5
per cent out of every bet.

Boston, July 2.-(UP)-The U. s. Employment Service will conduct recruiting campaigns in Maine and Connecticut to obtain workers to harvest potato and tobacco crops, regional social security director John F. Hardy said today.
 At conference of New England farm placement officials he said that communities must be prepared to mobilize whatever supply of labor is needed to meet nearby farm labor requirements.
 Unless crops ripen faster than expected or market COT cditions alter the present outlook" he said the U. s. Employment Service can pre- vide the necessary labor in four of the New England States without taking emergency measures, but Tabor requirements for the Maine potato crop and the Connecticut tobacco crop are at present in ex- cess of visible supply"
 Hardy said shortage of dairy hands continues to be the most difficult farm labor problem in New England" and he asked farm place. ment specialists to make every ef- fort to utilize all available training facilities to meet the larger demands for milk and dairy products.

NIGHT SHIFT WAR
 WORKER ADVISED
Told How to Sleep in Day. time Without Gulping
 Down Beer

Quincy, Mass, July 2.-UP)- The night-shift war worker who gulps a couple of quick beers at the corner tavern so that he will sleep soundly during the day is fooling nobody but himself. according to Dr. Frederic N. Manley, plant surgeon at the Bethlehem Steel Co.'S Fore River shipyard.
 Warning against use of sleep-in- ducing drugs or alcohol, Dr. Manley today prescribed system for day time sleep for war workers whose employment on night shifts has dis rupted their normal lives.
 Regularity is the key to Dr. Man ley's prescription. The worker must adopt a going -to-bed hour" and then train his body to be ready for sleep at about that time every day.
 But hitting the day" at the same hour each day is not enough. The worker must pound the pillow" without interruption for seven or eight hours because "catnaps don't take the place of unbroken sleep" !"
 AS further aids to restful daytime sleep, he listed
 1. Avo.d heavy meals before re- tiring.
 3. Relax an hour at some hobby before going to bed.
 With a couple of weeks training, Dr. Manley said, the night worker will be able to dream by day and sleep untroubled by the shouts of playing children or the bell-ring- ing of bill colle ctorS.
