1t was disclosed by Major General
Milton A. Reckord, Commanding Of

since the Air Force announced that
the educational requirements had
been lowered for Aviation Cadets, an
increased number of young men have
applied and successfully passed their

Captain Richard w. Kiefer of the
Aviation Cadet Examining Board re-
ported that, "Since the announcement
of lowered requirements, many men
who weren't eligible under the old
regulations have already taken their
tests and passed them successfully.
We've found instances in the past few
weeks where some our Cadets haven't
even completed three years of high
school,"
More young men are becoming
aware of the fact that they no longer
need definite amount of schooling

Grew, however, need a minimum of

this, he came into contact with the
flanges of the fan which had no wire

2 inches wide broke off, penetrated his

long. He was hurried to DR.. Wilson,
local physician, and afterwards to the
hospital, where he was received in a
rather weakened condition, owing to
much loss of blood.
The broken flange was located by
X-ray pictures and was extracted
Since then, Mr.. Schoolfield has re-
sponded very encouragingly to treat
ment, and, if no complications set in
his recovery is a mere matter of time
The accident, as stated above, is rath-
er a remarkable one, and it is hardly
understandable how a fan that was
nothing more than a toy, should have
caused such damage, with its evident
low-power motor; but the facts proved
its energy.
