Hail The Flying Generation
NEW AIR TRAINING CORPS FOR scHoOLBOYs IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE 2oooOoo FLEDGlNGs BY END OF sIo43
Rv MA aervlca

By NEA Service
 New York, June l1--American youth demands part in winning the war. And most youngsters want to play that part in the youngest of military arms-the Air Force.
 Throughout the country today uniformed units of the Air Training Corps of America are forming in public, parochial and private schools. Boys of l6 to IS are learn ing flying fundamentals through a study course prepared by the Civil Aeronautics Administration and the U. s. Ofice of Education.
 THEY'RE TRAINING
 FOR WAR AND PEACE
 If the war lasts for two years our skies are going to be filled with the flnest-trained flock of fedgings the country has ever seen. And if peace coAnes before their two-year train- ing course Is finished, they will be on their way toward leadership in the great expansion in the aviation industry which seems certain to follow the present conflict.
 As members of the Air Training Corps these boys cannot yet take an active part in flying. They can, l1oweved, build grounwork in the fundamentals of aviation, in so- called pre-flight training, so that many will be fitted to assume their roles in the Army and Navy Air Forces when the time arrives. They will be credited with the work they now are putting in as ATCA volun- teers, cutting down on thier active training time.
 This tremendous aviation train- ing program for high school stu- dents constitutes the most far- reaching change in curricula in the history of U. s. secondary education, according to school men. The boys are being prepared as no generation has ever been prepared before. for the realities that lie ahead. As members of an ATCA unit, boys wear smart-looking blue-gray uniforms and overseas caps, bearing the Corps insignia. Instruction in- cludes military drill and calisthen- ics, besides many hours of class room | work.
 SPECIAL COURSES
 BEING PLANNED
 Special courses, which by fall will be incorporated into the curricula of schools providing ATCA training, | will educate students in the various phases of basic pre-flight know- ledge such as air navigation, com- munications, aerodynamics, neteo- rology, design and structure, engines and safety.
 Classroom work is anything but pure theory and dry textbook teach- ing. In one class on design and structure at Isaac Young high School in New Rochelle, N. r., the ATCA students have learned to spot and name various types of. planes from wood models which they have built themselves Hundreds of these planes have been built to scale, ac. crding to specifications provided by the Army and Navy. All are painted black 50 no identifying marks will disclose their types to the observer.

Another capacity crowd filled the Municipal Stadium last night and thrilled to the sensational aerial acts being presented in "Sky Follies" feature attraction of Zindah Grotto's 9th annual Charity Circus.
 They left the Stadium loud in their praises of the. circus, acclaim ing 1t to be the finest Zindah Grotto as yet presented.
 Such world famous stars of the sawdust trail as The Gretonas, kings of the high tight wire. The Flying Lamars, champions of the flying trapese, The Four Bombshells and Schaller's American Stars, death defying artists who work on. rig gtags that soar 185 feet into the air these and many others provided entertainment such as Waterbury has not seen before. Acts that can be presented only because the circus is being staged out of doors and not limited to height by the confines of a tent.
 The Penobscot Indian Village, one of the big free attractions on the Exposition Midway, drew throngs throughout the night where these Redskins from the Penobscot Reser- vation at Old Town, Maine, piled their craft of moccassin making, basket making and other arts. Prin- cess Goldenrod who speaks perfect English Is there to chat with visitors and answer questions concerning her people.
 The Howell Family, Bohemian glass blowers, continue to attract throngs who marvel at their artistry in creating works of art in glass.

 Another class at New Rochelle has been taught engine design, not from books alone, but from an actual air. plane motor head and propeller, and other mechanical parts. Even a wind tunnel, demonstrating the eff fects of air currents, Is provided in the class on the theory of flight.
 At Horace Mann High in New York City, ATCA members drill ac- cording to a manual prepared under the supervision of the U. s.

ATCA members don't stop talk ing aviation when school is over, Many have built sets for sending and receiving messages in code and practice with one another in the aft ernoons and evenings. Others build plane models outside of school. Some have perfected inventions of their own to aid in teaching certain sub- jects. All of them read, talk and seemingly dream aviation.
 'Teach the ATCA boys?" one high school instructor grinned, "Our only problem is to finish each class on time. They don't want to quit"
 ATCA's goal was set at enroll. ing 500,0O0 volunteers by the fall oi 1942 and two milton boys by the end of 1943. It wouldn't be surpris- ing If these goals were set too low,
