article which breathes with the live stuff
of adventure and courage. "Flyer Down
Off Kiska was actually written by
man who flies rescue ship in Alaska -
1t. Knute Flint of the US. Army Air
Corps. It. Flint's story is not ghost-written
- he was skilled newspaperman before
he was skilled pilot.
Writer Corey Ford brought us the ar
ticle. He met 1t. Flint and read his story
at our loneliest Aeutian outpost. He re-
members the morning that the lieutenant
turned over the controls of his rescue ship
to another pilot, stayed behind - it was
the first mission he'd missed in months -
to write it. That morning, Jap Zeros
attacked the rescue ship. Strafed and set
afre, it sank.
~ 1t. Flint wrote his story so that we back
home might know the job our airnen are
doing. We are very proud of them.

needed, but they're not the only grand lot,
or the only lot desperately needed. One of
the essential occupations for woman is
to be what the dramatist Alfred Sutro
called "a maker of men" That job begins
before life itself, and takes in the cradle
and the grave. The makers of men are the
ground crews in war or in peace.
LATELY, Professor Goodwin Walton re-
ported to the American Psychological
Association his findings that 80 far as
morale is concerned, married men can
stand economic stress better than bache-
lors, and when times are tough, married
men with several dependents have then more
cheerful outlook on life. " Not many of US
require professor to tell us that. Not long
ago, a taxi driver who picked me up out
side big hotel and wrongly assumed that
l lived there, asked, Don't it make you
feel awful blue to do days work and
come back to just hotel room?"

in the tank Of any motor vehicle
while the engine Of such vehicle Is
running.
The above laws are well known TO
the great majority Of drivers but
the Police Department receives
many complaints about violations
especially the ones concerning
blocking Of drivewayS, and parking
on the left hand side Of the street.
In most cities they have certain
sections where parking is done at
different angles to tho curb but II
will be posted with signs designat-
ing the particular angle. And In O
great many cases parking is al
lowed on both sides Of one way
street. Parking on the left side OF
the street Is dangerous, because to
get over there the driver must cut
through the line of oncoming traf-
fic and when starting up again he
must do the same thing to get back
over on his own side Of the road.
AS for blocking a Fire Hydrant, well
I don't believe the penalty can be
too stiff for that offense. AS Time
Is a great factor In putting out fires
and In the saving Of someone's life,
we can readily see what few MIN
