Fl. Officer Moore
Awarded Air Medal

Flight Officer Robert r. Moore,
son of Mrs. Elsa r. Moore, 1000 Po-
tomac Avenue, was awarded the
Air Medal on September 1, but his
mother has just heard about it.
Robert wrote his mother several
letters during September, but never
even mentioned it, and then, in a
letter dated September 80, he added
this postscript: did l tell you that
l was awarded the Air Medal on
September II" and that was all.
That same modesty that prevent
ed Flight Officer Moore from telling
the real story of his experiences in
a raid over Germany when he was
interviewed on an overseas broad
cast on August 80 (another officer
had to be called on to give the real
facts, also prevented him giving
his mother the story behind the
award, but it probably was in
recognition of his work as co-pilot
of the Buffalo Gal" on that mem
orable August raid.

Mrs. Armstrong
Receives Japanese
Carbine From Son
Gun Will Be Displayed In
r. M. Hays Window
Tomorrow and Saturday.

Mrs. A. E. Armstrong, 81 Madison
avenue, mother of Pfc. Clarence A.
Armstrong, who is stationed some
where in the South Pacific, is the
proud possessor of a japanese Car
bine and bayonet, a canteen and a
shell cap, all of which were mailed
home by her soldier son.
The carbine, which will be on dis
play in the window of r. M. Hays
& Bros, Inc, % West Washington
street, tomorrow and Saturday, ar
rived in pieces, as that was the only
way that Armstrong could get it
mailed home. Different pieces ar
rived by different mails and when
the last one came, the family, ably
assisted by Paul Carpegna, neigh
Dor, managed to put it together.
The gun, which is of the bolt
mechanism type, appears to be a
mixture of Springfield, Mauser and
Enfield, having some of the charac-
teristics of all three. The calibre is
about 25-35, it has a 10 IL inch
barrel and the magazine will hold
regulation clip of bullets. The mag
azine mechanism is extremely sim
pie, but apparently very effective.
In place of the customary steps" of
springs, there is just one steel
spring, shaped like the letter w, but
is has plenty of tension, even after
all the use the gun obviously has
had.
The familiar japanese markings
are on the barrel, but there is moth
ing to indicate where the gum might
have been made, except some al
most illegible English numbers
stamped on the side.
The water canteen, made of heavy
aluminium and painted a dark
brown, is very similar to the one
used by us in the First World War.
Oh yesl Armstrong also sent
two grass skirts Che didn't tell his
mother how he got them thought
that are practically the same as the
hula skirts worn by the native wo-
men in the Hawaiian Islands.

Joint Meeting of
Republican Clubs

The Republican Mems and Wo-

October 7, at the clubs headquar-
ters in the Colonial Theatre build
ing, which was well attended.
The meeting, presided over by
Thomas Staub, opened with a pray
er by Miss Frances Burger, presi-
dent of the Women's Club, follow
ing which short talks were given by
Henry Holzapfel. Jr., and I. Keller
Shank.
Mr.. Holzapfel, who sounded an
optismistic note for the party's sue
cess in the 1914 elections, urged the
full cooperation of every member
of both organizations to that end.
Commenting on the present admin
istration, Mr.. Holzapfel was of the
opinion that our Government was
engaged too much in business and
roundly criticised its roll back sub
sidy plan.
Mr.. Shank told the meeting the
full details concerning the purchase
of the Shirley property by the
Board of County Commissioners, Of
which he is president, and branded
as false, certain statements that

More Than Fifty Per Cent of 1914 Army

Cooperation.

man working in aircraft plants, by
those who produce the raw materials
and even by the entire communities
in which aircraft plants are loca-
ted. The communities must be pre-
pared to make many adjustments to
gear themselves to take care of
many additional workers. They
must be ready to make sacrifices
and face hardships to see that our
men on the fighting fronts get the
planes they need.
"And remember this. The job
we are talking about is not short
job. We must not count on any
pauses for breath. 1t is going to be
a big and long one, requiring sus-
tanned effort for many months I'M
til we are through the critical phase
of the war which we are now en-
tering. How long this will be I do
not know, but we must not look on
the task as a sprint. It is going to
be marathon"

CINE and Airplane Corporation is

be many obstacles in our path that
must be overcome. The greatest
of these is manpower. / have no

United States understand fully the
size of the aircraft program, the

In recent statement to aircraft
and engine manufacturers of the
National Aircraft War Production
Council, Robert A. Lovett, Assistant
Secretary of War for Air, declared
that, II cannot emphasize enough
to you the Importance of what you
heard in the two days of confidential
meeting with the War Department
about the problems of aircraft pro-
duction.
Il wish it were possible to have
the public hear all the facts which
you were given, for l am sure that
would show them at least some of
the difficulties that you are up
against. But, of necessity, much
that TRANSFERRED must remain conf
DENTAL / believe, however, that
the American people ought to know
and understand that more than so
per cent of the Army's production in
1914 must be aircraft and its equip
ment.
"That represents an enormous in
crease over our present production
which already is straining the facil-
tiles of the aircraft industry to what
seems like the limit. You are now
producing planes in numbers that
seemed fantastic two years ago, but
the production demands of the flu
ture are so great in comparison that
it is difficult to picture the immen-
sity of the task. Many of you al
ready have had difficulties finding
manpower for your production lines.
That problem is going to be more
acute, but you are going to have to
find the manpower. You must pro-
duce the planes. For, without them,
our military plans are going to be
thrown off schedule and the war
will be heightened indefinitely
"You heard the message which
General Macarthur sent back from
the Southwest Pacific saying: Send
me air Send me air and more air
and more air. This is the message
which we are receiving from every
commander in every theatre of war.
'"The burden which the aviation
industry is thus called upon to
shoulder is unprecedented in the
history of industry in this country
or any other country.

ity which must be borne not only

done by The Rambusch Company,
New York, with Mr. Johannes Nor

Farm Group Discuss
Post War Problems

A group of leading farm people
and agricultural workers met re-
Gently in Hagerstown to discuss
projects which might be developed,
at the close of the war, for the ben
eft of both the producer and the
consumer of agricultural products,
according to L. o. Brumback, of
Winchester, a representative of
Suthern States Cooperative, who
assisted with the conference.
The consensus was that farmer
cooperative services should be both
expanded and increased. Farmers
expressed themselves as favoring
centrally located freezer locker
plants and home quick freeze units,
and also better facilities for mark
citing grain, vegetable crops, and
poultry. 1t was felt that if farm
groups established canneries much
of the locally produced fruits and
vegetables could be taken care of,
thus preventing waste which is in
evitable when no local market is
available for these perishable com
modities. Freezer units, it was
pointed out, would also make pos
sible the curtailment of much waste
of valuable food products and ex-
tend considerably the period during
which fresh meats and other highly
perishable foods, not canned, could
be used. Cooperative marketing of
poultry would make possible a
system of grading of birds which is
not possible when farmers do their
marketing individually. Grading
would be decidedly to the advan-
tage of consumers as well as pro-
ducers
Fast transportation service, es-
pecially that which undoubtedly
will be provided by airplanes, will
greatly facilitate the shipment of
all kinds of commodities.
Speakers included Paul Kretzer,
of Hagerstown, and L. o. Brumback.
Among those who took part in the
formidable discussion were Miss
Ardeth Martin, Mark Miller, J.
Keller Funk, Hagerstown; I. N.
Spielman, Big Pool; Gerald A. Biggs,
Boonsboro; Ned Hepburn, Hancock.
This meeting is one of series of
more than hundred which are be-
ing held throughout Southern States
Cooperatives's territory of Virginia,
West Virginia, Maryland and Del
aware to determine programs and
projects farm people wish inaugu-
rated as soon as practicable after the
war.
