behind was the Takoma Park Ele-

sistently, is sixth with 1851 pounds.
Following in order are Lafayette

schools.
Starting tomorrow, those schools
which failed to make the 200-pound
minimum collection will be dropped.
A large number in the first district
fall in this group. The directors OF
the drive dislike cutting any school
out of participation in the plan, but
it is not possible to make collections
for smaller amounts. However, all
of the schools which are dropped
may be reinstated at any time that
their principals believe that they
can bring in sufncient paper to
meet the minimum. This would not
be difficult If even a small percentage
of the children would bring the
papers received in their own homes
each week.
Several schools have plans under
way to stimulate collections this
week. At Paul Junior High School,

hardly been scratched, the principal,

At Opportunity House, children
are learning to play a role In de-
fense.
The defense program of the set
tlement house at 78 street NV.
has many facets. There is the
matter of morale, of helping the
children find themselves and their
place in the democratic scheme
Also important in the program is
the training Of youngsters in useful
crafts. AS young homemakers,
trained girls would give their moth
ers freedom to perform important
tasks in civilian defense.
To that end, there are classes in
sewing, dressmaking, cooking. mar
keting, budgeting. weaving, wood
blocking and carpentry.
The younger children are being
taught to entertain themselves
through classes in making scrap
books, cutting out puzzles and play
ing games.
Dancing is the next class to start
at Opportunity House. That is part
of the morale program, based on
the idea that music, the popular
anthems, play vital part in keep
ing morale high.
Through Boy and Girl Scout
troops, the former already well es-
tablished, Opportunity House hopes
to help make good citizens.
A healthy country has been en-
phasized as a part of civilian de-
fense. Between IS and 100 bottles

sinking his capital into the first one.
All he has is q gun, dog and

Royal Leonard, transport pilot for
China National Aviation Corp,
speaks from experience. He's been
flying in China for more than six
years.
"It's like this" he said in an inter-
view today. IF the pilots go up
with contempt for the Japs some
body Is going to get hurt, for they
are pretty fair pilots. But If you
60 up with proper regard for them
and have good equipment you can
chase them out of the sky

Mr.. Leonard left his home in
Hong Kong November % and was
en- route to the United States when
the Japanese attacked Pearl Har-
bor He arrived in San Francisco
Christmas day. The liner changed
course several times, he said, once
to avoid an island where "a con-
siderable Japanese naval force was
waiting for u.s."
The Chinese Air Force has been
doing remarkable work despite
limited equipment and shortage of
essential material and requirements,
he said.
Pilot for War Lord.
