THE EFFECT OF WAR ON THE
SUMMER RESORT
BY Pat Campbell

Among the innumerable conse-
quences of the\war. which are be-
ing anxiously studied by those like
ly to be affected, is its prospective
bearing on the activities and pros
perity of summer resorts in West
ern Montana. Those with homes to
rent, hotels or boarding houses to
fill, or country clubs to manage and
keep out of the red, are all trying
to figure out what the limitations
on automobile tires. on sales of new
automobiles and the possible ra-
tioning of gasoline will do to them.
1t seems reasonable to suppose
that there will be some curtailment
in resort business. Certainly, there

How The Navy
rains It's Air Men

The final stage in a cadets career
at the navy's Corpus Christi Uni
versity of the Air" is advanced
squadron training where the navy
decides what type of plane the ca
Diet is best suited to fly and spends
the rest of its efforts in making
him a specialist in one of three
fields. patrol planes, scout and OBJ
servation seaplanes, or carrier based
fighters and dive bombers. Of
course. the decision is based as far
as possible and practicable upon the
cadets choice.
Young pilots who receive final as
signments in the huge p" boats
(twin-engined Consolidated patrol
bombers) at the worlds largest ma
val air station are able to fly, when
they graduate, practically all types
of navy planes.
One student pilots the ship under
the skillful eye Of naval instructor
while another is busy plotting the
navigation course and taking drift
sights to determine the wind direc-
ton and force. Still another is bus
lily occupied. with sending and re-
ceiving radio code and with keep
ing in contact with the naval radio
station at the air base.
One prerequisite in gaining en-
trance to this advanced training
squadron is facility for celestial
and practical navigation because
most patrol flying is over water
In addition much aircraft gunnery
and bombing practice are carried
OUT IN this squadron.
Lining the beach of placid Cor
pus Christi Bay, perhaps one of the
best seaplane training harbors in
the United States because of its po-
sition behind natural island break
waters, are six huge seaplane hang
ers with two more in the building
program
Graduates of the patrol boat
squadrons are usually sent directly
to the fleet upon receiving their
wings and diplomas. Here they take
part in Uncle Sans great war eff
fort by soaring over the watery
wastes of the Atlantic and Pacific
