E. Richards, assistant supervisor of the Army Air Corps Eastern Pro- curement District.
 Recent events in Europe, Asia and Africa demonstrate the neces- sitJ for speeding the delivery of f1rst-rate airplanes to our fighting forces" Colonel Richards said. we have succeeded in speeding up the production of aircraft and aircraft parts by tremendous extent. Now we must call upon citizens with ex- perience in inspection or production to serve as inspectors to prevent Q bottleneck in between production and delivery.
 ITO give our soldiers the air supp port they need, we must secure enough qualified inspectors to check the airplanes just as rapidly as they can be built," Colonel Richards de- clared.
 Air Corps inspectors salaries be- gin at as much as $2,600 8 year &C., cording to grade and good oppor- tunity exists for rapid advancement, Colonel Richards pointed out. Sub- stantial overtime usually increases the earnings of qualified men.
 While men now working at full capacity in war industries should not apply, Manager Dewey pointed out that non-defense industries still contain many men with ma chine shop or tool inspection ex- perience or with sufficient produc- ton experience as machinists, tool makers or instrument makers who want to do their share in the war program. Usual age restrictions may be waived, he said, for any quail fled men able to do this work who apply at the Bank street office.
 Special representatives of the Air Corps will be at principal employ ment offices in the state to inter view candidates from 800 a. m. to 800 p. m. on the following days: Hartford, Friday, May g; Water bury. Saturday, May g; Ney Haven, Monday, May 25; Bridgeport, Tues day, May 26.

 Ever since the attack on Hawaii, life in the Canal Zone has been lived on the alert. The news of Pearl Harbor found Zonians swim ming, resting, or basking in the warmth of a hot change-of seasons afternoon. Three hours later every thing was ready for the blackout that, except for a few days during the first week, has e1veloped the Zone every night since Dec. 2.
 There was 8 good deal of early confusion, but by the middle of January the Canal Zone had learn ed to live as 1t probably will have to until the end of the war. Its inhabitants awaken to the roar of the dawn patrol going out. They have taken a new interest in the canal that is the center of thelr life and livelihood, and Supervise" important ship transits from behind the fences outside the lock enclos- ures like pedestrians watching an excavation in an American city. CHILDREN ARE
 AMATEUR STRATEGISTS
 
 Anyone walking a Zone street at 6 o'clock can't miss the evening shortwave news broadcast, for every radio will be turned to 1t. Many amateur strategists have maps with markers pinned to their walls. A 7-year-old knows the difference be- tween light and heavy bombers and between pursuit and observation planes. And the 'teen-age boys would put most airplane spotters to shame.
 If you go to movie at 8 civilian theater, you will see a trailer be- fore the performance instructing you what to do in case a raid oc- CUTS while you are in the theater. And afterward it's early to bed, be- cause there isn't much else to do. HEAT MAKES
 BLACKOUT TOUGH
 The Canal Zone is blacked out partially from to Il D. m., and completely from then until 5:45 8. m. You don't hang blackout cur- tains or blacken windows (most houses here don't) in country where the year-round temperature is 80 degrees and the humidity ranges from 72 to 86. So you just go to bed, unless you're working the night shift in machine shop, which is something else new i1i Zone life.

Inspectors Needed
 In Ai1plane Plants
Qualified Civilians Sought by U. s. Employment Bu- reau-Trained Mechanics Needed in Vital Industries

The speeded-up production of airplanes has caused an urgent need for qualified civilians for Air Corps inspection work in New Eng land to hasten the delivery of planes to the fighting forces" Mrs. Mary Dewey, manager of the U. S.. Employment Service office at 123 Bank street, declared this morning in urging men with a year or more experience as machine shop or tool inspectors, or with three years ex- perience as aircraft worker, mach mist, tool maker or instrument maker to visit the U. s. E. s. office at 123 Bank street.
 Engineering graduates of mech anical, aeronautical and electrical courses are likewise urged to enroll for this aircraft inspection work.

unobtainable and no retreading is being done. But there is no gaso- line rationing in the ofEing, since the canal is 8 lane of oil shipment.
 If zonians wish an escape from these wartime regulations they may step across the street from Balboa Heights to Panama City, where lights blaze everywhere except on theater and other advertising signs. But that is about as far as they can travel on short notice.
 Zone civilians felt the first pinch in transportation facilities when the government, late in December, requisitioned the two $4,OO0,OOO vessels of the Panama Line. This stranded many employees on leave in the United States. One engineer, 52 days overdue, finally got passage on a ship carrying a full cargo. of dynamite.

 PROSPERITY
 Social relations between enlisted men and civilians are happier than ever before. A long-standing cool ness is being broken down, thanks to the U. s. O. and the various Women'S organizations which pro . vide partners for the soldiers at su- pervised dances. There is prosper ity, too, to offer a pleasant contrast to war restrictions. Many employees are drawing overtime pay and the purchase of War Bonds is increas- ing steadily.
 But not all the overtime workers are getting extra money. Hundreds of draftsmen and engineers are working long hours to speed con- struction on the canals new locks. And key men in all divisions are on 24-hour call, ready for any emergency on one of Americas most vital war jobs.

RAILROAD TRACKS MAY BE SALVACED

Possible removal of abandoned railroad tracks of the Waterbury Meriden railroad beyond Rockville is being considered by the defense salvage committee of the Waterbury Defense Council. Rails to Rockville from the city may still be used by the Scovill Mfg. Co., 1t is reported.
 Trolley rails have been dug up cn Robinson street, with a total of 35 tons of steel being salvaged. Rails are now being removed on East Main street, and work on other streets will start soon.
 The rail removals are WPA prof. ects, with the city paying part of the cost. Proceeds from the sale of scrap metal go to the city.

Good Evening.
AND WHEN SUMMER COMES
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

This summer I'm not playing around, Pooling with my boat on Long Island Sound; I'm not spending money on a new speed boat, Or thinking of the cut of new yachting coat. I'm putting my bit and little beyond Into the investment of war bond. My golf kit needs new club or two, Last year my driver wasn't any too true, Quite few things need for the game, But I'll sacrifice these for prior claim. Duty tells me to invest my money, This summer I'm travelling paths less sunny, Duty tells me df have it) to invest my money Less on the luxuries that summer affords At those shore places where they come in hordes, This summer come what may, I must cut down bit on my play Forget the life of which was so fond, And concentrate on buying bond.

Takes Victory
in HombIetonion
BY ORLO ROBERTSON

GOSHEN, N. Y, Aug. l3-(f)
The boys around the barns
were saying that Ben White was
too old to compete against 40
and 50-year- "younsters' /;
that Bill Stang's luck was all
bad when it came TO winning
the Hambletonian.
But trainer-driver White and
owner Strang, partners for some
Is years, showed them yester-
day when the Ambassador won
the rich tro,ting horse stake at
Good Time Park - the third
time White has turned the trick
and No. ] for Strang.
Maybe I'm too old" said the
69-year-old White, after the Am
bassador had won the purse of
$40, 489.91, but l had right
smart horse in front of me and
that can make up for lot of
years.
When the bay son of Scotland
Margaret Arion came winging
home with a length to spare in
the third heat in 2:04 after taxi
ing the second in 2:06, Strang
realized an ambition that sent
him to the Walnut Hall yearling
sales year after year.
100000 FOR HORSES
Il guess I've spent close to
100000 for horses said Strang
but, though l never won the
Hambletonian until today, the
game doesn't owe me a cent.
I've had six other Hambletonian
starters and all of them finish
cd in the money"
The victory brought revenge
for Strang and White. A year
ago il was Robert II. Iohnston's
Bill Gallon of Charlotte, N. c..
that kept them out Of first
money. Yesterday Johnston S
Pay Up won the first heat in
2:06, but finished third in the
second and in head-heat for
fourth in the third.
The first-heat victory gave
Pay Up second money. Third
