New Victory Corps
 Plan At Crosby Set
High School Organization to Train Pupils for Roles in
 Uncle Sam's War Effort

Most high school students are eligible for general membership, but membership is not compulsory.
 There are three requirements for general membership in the Victory corps.
 First, the student should be par- ticipating in Q school physical flt- ness program appropriate to his abilities and needs in the light of his probable contributions to the Nations war effort.
 Second, the student should be studying or have studied school courses appropriate to his age, grade ability, and probable immediate and future usefulness to the Nations war effort, within the limits of the facilities of the school.
 Third, the student should be cur- rently participating in at least one important continuing or recurring wartime activity or service of the types indicated in the suggestive list of Victory corps service activities.
 Students accepted for general membership will be divided into five divisions, air, land, sta, production, and community service division. Qualifications for membership in the air, land, and sea divisions are not the official requirements for admission to the Army, Navy, or Air services.
 The qualifications simply represent the consensus of the National Policy committee as to what constitutes the most effective preparation for these services within framework of high school curriculum.
 Crosby's committee to lead Victory corps activities includes Louis J, Thibodeau, principal; William B, Elwell, vice principal; Miss Helen I, Haugh, head of the history depart ment; J. Francis Roland, Miss Rose Finkelstein, Roy H. Walch, and Miss Constance Farnham.

A planned series of programs which will lead to the establishment of A High School Victory corps in Crosby began with Victory corps in recently, according to Louis J. Thi- bodeau, principal.
 During the period, student leaders Imphasized the fact that remaining in school as long as possible in school as long as possible in every case will help the national wa effort by giving the student himself re- quirements for active or home ser- vice, the main point of the Victory corps, he. said.
 MT. Thidodeau stressed that hav- ing Q Victory corps in Crosby is not e matter of Q few weeks work, but project which demands months of planning and preparation. He went on to say, however, that our school has already fulfilled several of the corps objectives, citing as ex- amples the aernautics courses, our student guidance programs, the training given in mathematics and science, and Crosby's program for physical fitness.
 The latter" he added, twill be en- larged in the direction of personal health, rather than recreational games.'
 Recommended by the National Policy committee, the Victory corps hopes to get every pupil interested in some active phase of the war effort. Working through the schools, it will help to teach individuals the issues at stake, train them for their parts in the war effort, and guide them into personal relationship with the present struggle. It will take account of war service after leav- ing school, and participation in the communities war effort while still in school.
 Tn preparing for membership in the Victory corps, the principal said, Crosby students will begin from the start. First they will know what the national effort is and wiks the re- quirements are to take part in 1t.
 They will consult student advisers as to the studies needed for entrance in a desired field, and plan to obtain them in the future, if they do not have them already. Then the students will be separated into spec ial divisions which will help them accomplish their desired purpose to the best advantage.

sound training.
Gen. Eaker was the pilot of the
famous question Mark" when that
plane established a world record
for sustained flight by refueling in
the air. Also he was the first Army
pilot to fly across the United States
solely by instruments, without once
checking his position by visual
means. When the new Flying For
tresses began their daylight raids on
Occupied France, it was Gen. Eaker
who flew in the lead plane to show

Each Of the three Britons, besides
being veterans of the last war, have
had the advantage of three years of
experience in this one. They have
come to the top because, through all

you a different feeling.
Seeing him in his Office, cool and

you realize that men like this have
worked out the tactics beforehand.
It was on another sunny day that
I drove out Of war-pocked London
to lunch with the bomber chief,
Air Marshal Harris. I got some-
thing Of q surprise when I met
him, too.
To see him there in his home in
the rolling, peaceful countryside,
with his lovely wife and tiny daugh-
ter-this day clad in a sunsuit and
nothing else except bandage over
her smallpox inoculation-it was
dificult to associate him with "a
thousand night bombers" sowing
seeds Of destruction in Western
Germany. He's nicknamed Gin
GER" but his light hair is nearer
silver. His face is unlined and he
has the tapering hands Of an artist.
But, however much the brains
and directing force behind the
aerial second front" might appear
on the soft side, that idea was soon
dispelled.
Motioning me into the front seat
Of his Bentley, he drove to his oflce,
tooling the speeding car around
dangerous turns even as he kept up
lively discourse on the relative
merits of the English heavy
bombers and ours.
And then in his Office, while I
made a sketch of him, he went
about his work in a businesslike
way. He signed papers and made
notations one after the other
some of them, no doubt, settling the
fate OF some row Of factories In
the Western Rhineland. His quick,
hard decisions belied his almost
efete outward appearance.
Commands in Capable Hands.
Yes, both British fighter and
bombers commands seemed to Be in
most capable hands.
