Healing Springs Students
Are Active On Home Front

Healing Springs has long had
a record for conference winning
basketball teams, but this year,
due to conditions brought about
by the war, the usual competitive
athletic program was changed and
a broader physical fitness pro-
gram for the entire school was
stressed.
Not only were intra-mural
games held, but classes in physi-
cal education, health, first aid
work and nutrition.
In addition to the physical fit
ness program, Healing Springs
worked on many war drives. The
school met with much success in
the scrap drive last fall and was
able to collect a large amount of
scrap which might still be lying
unused instead of helping to
make tanks and other equipment
for victory, had it not been for
the school children.
In the drive for infantile para
lysis funds. the students showed
a fine response a they did in the
drive to collect pennies, turned
them into war stamps and put
the coppers back into circulation
In the Red Cross War Fund
Drive, practically every child
made some contribution and help
to secure additional funds to help
put the drive over.
The school has an active unit of
the Junior Red Cross and stu
dents have carried on this work
with enthusiasm.
In the midst of a rich agricul-
tural section, the school has an
enthusiastic All club and the
boys and girls are growing food
for victory. In addition to help
ing their parents in solving the
farm labor situation, most Of the
members have individual pro-
jects, which include growing ba-
by beeves, pigs, corn, potatoes, or
poultry. Some Of this has al
ready been converted to War
bonds and others will do the
same as they market their crops.

OPPORTUNITY

Master of human destiny am l.;
Fame, love and fortune on me
wait.
Cities and field I walk; I pene-
trate
Deserts and seas remote, and
passing by
Howell and mart and palace, soon
or late
knock unbidden once at every
gate.
If sleeping, wake; if feasting,
rise before I turn away. 1t is
the hour of fate
And they who follow me reach
every state
Mortals desire, and conquer ev-
cry foe,
Save death. But those who doubt
or hesitate,
Condemned to failure, perjury
and woe,
Seek me in vain and uselessly
implore,
I answer not and I return nc
more.

Pointing out that the Bill OF

was dear TO the founding fathers
OF our country" Hearst said
Look across our oceans. You

because the leaders Of some
governments did not-and still

EVERY ONE SKEPTICAL

Observers forgot that Single

plaster saints" Every one was
pretty skeptical on the question of
how these turbulent strangers
would perform under fire.
More Tomahawks were flown up
from the CAMEO assembly yards
at Rangoon, the AVG suffered its
first casualty, and school started
in Toungoo.
John T. Sommers OF Middletown,
Ohio, former staff sergeant in the
United States Army. was shot in
the pants on the road to Mandalay,
a victim of the boys fondness for
target practice with their side
arms.
He was walking along the road
with a companion when he heard
a whirring sound and sinultane-
ously felt an unpleasant sting.
John thought that was too strong
a blow for even a Burmese mo-
squito.
He looked around. and yes, there
was the guilty party, another AVG

Chennault took his pilots into
the classroom, first to brush them
up on the schooling they had pre-
viouSly acquired in United States
Army and Navy aviation. He then
analysed the japanese aerial prac-
tice, calling TO mind his years of
observation to tell them just what
Jap formations and individual
pilots could be expected TO do In
any given situation.-
He said their Tomahawks had
four principal advantages over the
Japanese planes: they were speed
Ter on the straightaway and in the
dive. and they were sturdier and
better armored.
The JapS could climb faster,
turn more quickly, and in general
out-maneuVer the Tomahawk in a
dogfight. Therefore, the AVG plan
of attack must prevent the Jap
from employing his superior fea-
lures while forcing him into posi-
tions where ms weakness could be
attacked.
