Here is an airplane model that
you can easily make, then fly from
the end of a fishing line, controlled
by a reel.
At the start Of the flight the pole
is twirled over the head in small
circles. Then, as the plane levels off
and is soaring smoothly, the line is
gradually let out from the reel until
the model is tipping around in a
large circle.
To make the model select a 12-
inch piece Of soft white pine, l inch
thick by inches wide, and whittle it
into shape resembling a plane
fuselage. Allow a l-inch projection
at the nose on which to place a
heavy bolt nut and the propeller.
At the tail Of the fuselage saw two
small slots, one horizontal and the
other vertical. These are for the
stabilizer and the rudder fin, which
are cut from stiff cardboard and
glued in place.
Cut the wing from stiff cardboard,
then tack and glue it to the top of

Opportunity for Service

When we see squadrons of planes
and thousands of men in uniform,
let us remember our Constitution,
and know these United States, 1943,
are as loyal as was John Paul Jones
when he shouted: II have just be-
gun to fght!"
We believe we have a duty to our
country. This duty is fivefold: To
love our country, to support it's
Constitution, to obey its laws, to
respect it's flag, to defend it against
all enemies.
Our problems today are far more
difficult than those of our fore
fathers. For while they were COM
posed, for the most part, of one
racial strain, one historic tradition,
we of today represent various peo-
pies and traditions. But. thanks to
our democratic system. every Amer
ican, regardless of his origin, is
woven into our national fabric of
true citizenship.
In this, we, the youth of America,
can help by cultivating the foreign
born child and aiding him-not by
just acting as teacher. but by offer
ing friendship. Remember, the lone
ly child from across the sea is our
citizen of tomorrow. Help him to
learn the American way and to
build into his life the priceless
heritage that is ours.
This is the finest kind of national
defense-and one that will pay us
rich dividends in the future.

wood. This nut is necessary for a
head weight. The propeller is whit
tied from soft pine and is attached
to the center Of the nose with a
small nail and a glass bead for a
bearing.
Paint the model a bright color
and when it dries punch a hole in
the tip of one wing and tie the fish
ing line through it.
Now get out in a wide open space
and start twirling the pole around
your head, with the plane dangling
from the end of the fishing line.
Only a few revolutions are necessary
to make the plane level off and as
sumo flying position. Increase the
speed by increasing the twirling of
the pole over your head, then slowly
allow the line to run from the reel.
Soon the plane will be tipping
around and around in large circle
at great speed The propeller will
revolve and make buzzing noise.
You can make the plane perform
many tricks, such as hedge hopping,
cutting grass tips, tipping close to
earth, then looming upward to the
tree branches. BY slowing down the
revolutions of the pole you can bring
the plane to a perfect three point
landing.

course, this was nothing compared
to the thrill of witnessing such a
great event as the delivery of the
Presidents stirring message.
The boys were justified in their
pride in being there, for many
prominent persons had been unable
to obtain gallery permits. To the
boys, having to prove to the ever
watchful Secret Service agents and
Capitol policemen that they were
pages, and therefore had a right
to be in the building, was as Moth
Ing compared to the thrill of stand
ing beside, say, Lord Halifax, the
British Ambassador, or Maxim Lit
vinoff, the envoy of Soviet Russia.
And, of course, just standing near
the President was an even greater
thrill.
The Presidents message was of
special Importance to the boys, be-
cause it dealt, to some extent, with
the part that youth has played, is
playing and will continue to play in
the mighty struggle for freedom.
President Roosevelt used the word
freedom" quite inspiringly. In fact,
he spoke of four freedoms-freedom
of speech, freedom of religion, free
dom from want and freedom from
fear. These freedoms all are dear
to the heart of every American.
January 7, 1943, is a day that
every page boy will always re-

Structing the model according to it.
First, l made two wheels, each with
diameter Of inches. When these
were finished. I realized the struc-
ture would be much too small to
handle easily, so 1 enlarged the
wheels by adding many toothpicks,
which made them each about IL
inches across.
The wheels. each of which used
more than 200 toothpicks, were put
under heavy books, so they would
dry perfectly fiat. Then I made six
small seats, each about 2 inches
wide. These were rather difficult,
because I had to be very sure they
balanced correctly, so they would
swing exactly right, once they were
attached to the wheels.
While these were drying I made a
stand about inches high for either
side of the ferris wheel This en-
abled the wheel to swing freely, and
also supported the structure.
The hardest part of the entire
construction was assembling it.
After one seat had been carefully
attached to the wheels it would fall
off as soon as the next one was put
on. Only with careful handling and
lots of patience were all the seats
finally attached to the wheels.
The stands were then attached to
the outside of each wheel. l used
two small pins. which were put
through the stand to the wheel,
which allowed the wheel to rotate
easily. When finished, the ferris
wheel contained about 1000 tooth
picks.
1t was sucn an interesting and en-
joyable experience that l am going
to continue making small models.
1t is very inexpensive, for all that is
needed is a large box of toothpicks,
some airplane glue and lots of pa
tience.

but the elder Penn told him that he
could not live there.
The young man, then about 20,
made a trip to Paris, returned to
England, then went to Cork. During
his college years he had begun to
rebel against the Church of Eng
land, but it was not until after he
reached Cork that he fully deter
mined to accept different religion.
In that Irish city he heard Quaker
preacher, and was so much i'm
pressed that he decided to become
member of the Quaker church.
The Quakers called themselves the
Society of Friends" The name
Quaker" meant "trembler," and was
given by enemies of the religion.
The Friends were of a gentle ma
ture, but they were treated meanly.
Thousands were Jailed and a great
many died in prison.
When Penn was 36 he decided to
let King Charles know what the
Quakers were suffering. With two
friends, he presented a list of their
wrongs. The King had owed debt
equal to about 100000 to Penn's
father, who was now dead. To repay
the debt, Charles decided to give the
son a large tract of wild land in
America.
Penn was overioyed. He thought
he saw chance to obtain freedom
for English Quakers. A charter, or
bill of rights, was drawn up. 1t said
that Penn and other 'freemen"
could make laws to govern them
selves in the new country. The laws
were to be written down and copies
sent to the king within five years
after they were made. The charter
required that the new country
should be called Pennsylvania,
meaning "Forest-land of Penn"
The land turned over to Penn in
cluded more than 10000 square miles
and was larger than England itself.
Before going to America, Penn
sent several shiploads of settlers
across. Among them were Germans
and Dutch, as we'll as Englishmen.
A year later Penn started across
himself. He left his wife and chill
dren in England, however, intending
to send for them when he made a
home ready.
In those days trip across the At
lantic was still great risk. Penn
made will before he boarded his
ship, the Welcome During the
voyage 30 persons died of disease,
but Penn remained well. The We'll
come reached shore eight weeks
after leaving England. The first
landing was at Newcastle, on the
east shore of the Delaware River.
A little town had been started there,
made up of Swedes, Dutch and Eng
lish. Penn spoke to the crowd, say
ing that where he ruled there would
be freedom and equal rights.
Farther up the river another viii
lage was visited. 1t was called Up
land, but Penn changed the name to
Chester. Making his way still more
to the north, Penn reached a place
which his agents had chosen for the
site of a city. 1t was known as
Philadelphia, meaning City Of
Brotherly Love"

| Checker Trick Is
Based on Science,
| Looks Like Magic

Cousin Nat, who attends an East
ern college, was visiting his young
cousins. Elmer and Leona. They had
just returned from the theater and
Leona was still mystified by the
tricks the magician had performed
There are no magic tricks of any
kind" explained Nat. Every trick
Is based on some scientific law. A
very clever magician can fool the
audience by the way he presents his
trick, and can talk great deal
about things other than his stunt,
thus diverting his audiences atten-
ton. But there is nothing super
natural about stunts, especially of
the magic type.
"A trick which is very effective is
the following:
Stack 10 checker men on top OF
each other, making tower. With
the back of a table knife strike at
the bottom piece and you can knock
it out without upsetting the pile
This may seem extraordinary, but
it only proves that concentrated
force at one particular point may be
effective at that one point without
affecting any other point nearby or
at great distance away"
