In the old days many Of the rich

were few and far between. One of
the richest men in town became a
salesman of secondhand pianos.
But after q while new industries
were developed: Brazil nuts, cocoa,
various oils, woods were exported.
Oattle-raising was started. The pop
ulation Of the city remained fairly
constant at around 10000.
In 1925-1920 Manaus prospered
again, and Just before World War
II German firms bought lots of rub

came into office in 1896. President
Vargas himself went to Manaus in
1940-something no other president
had ever done. So the city was al
ready very much alive again when
the United States began spending
millions Of dollars right after Pearl
Harbor to stimulate Amazon produc-
ton.
Rubber trees are found by the
thousands all around Manaus. The
difficulty is getting 1t out. An acute
shortage of manpower, little food

are trying to improve this situation.

Outlining the problems of the

said: 1.-THE foremost task in the
commercial fixed base flying service
business has always been, and still
generally is, to exc out an exist

the war the operator OF an airport
was far more aviator than bus

begun to take care Of a dollar vol

banks and gives him a respected
community standing along with
other tradesmen. However. while
the lessons learned from operating
aircraft in vloume before unheard OF
are invaluable. the financial burden
imposed by government contractural
training may prove disastrous To
many OF the participating contrac-
tors with the cessation OF this type
of work.
Another serious problem that
faces an airport operator is In his
relations with the owners OF the air
port upon which his business Is es-
tablished. Just as there is scarcely
any airport operator who owns his
own field, so Is 1t rare to md O

activities, the National Victory Gar
den Institute In cooperation with
the Greater New York Victory Gar
Gen committee will hold regional
conference Thursday and Friday,
january 1914, at the Savoy Plaza
Hotel. The purpose of this two-day
session Is to focus attention upon,
and give due credit to the twenty
million (2O000,000) victory garden
ers who produced 100000 tons OF
garden food worth at least one bill
lion dollars last year. Also, the
same gardeners produced 100000
600 Jars of canned goods at an
estimated value of eight hundred
and eighty million dollars, which
is an all-time record of achieve
nlent in food production.
The goal for 1914 has been set
at 100000 home and community
gardens. This is believed possible
In view Of the fact that last year
the goal set by the U. S. Department
Of Agriculture was exceeded by two
million gardens.

ator to make a substantial and O
permanent investment.
Facing each of us in the aviation
game today is the spectre of federal
and state regulations which will
penalize and not promote. I should
bring out here that it Is safe to say
that more operators feel that the
regultion of aviation Is almost
wholly province of the federal
government. We want none of the
confusion that has faced interstate
trucking. Only by federal certifica-
ton Of aircraft, pilots, and mechan-
les can uniform safety be MAIN
tanned, and flying across state
boundaries economical. The func-
ton of the state should be for the
most part to promote and to regu-
late only in those particulars which
are actually necessary and incident
to the operation Of aircraft within
its boundaries.
Lastly, and again looking toward
the future, a sound policy of public
education must be undertaken.
There Is too much today in all of
our magazines and advertisements
depicting aircraft that cannot posi-
bly, be built for some years to come.
Now Is the time to be wary of such
imprudent thinking as will hurt the
acceptance of really useful aircraft
that may appear on the market. In
addition 1t is a good time to ac-
quaint the leaders of each commu-
nifty with the facilities available at
their airport and to plan with them
for their eventual full utilization.
Now is the time to plan in prepara-
ton for the needs of the future.
Careful steps taken now will assure
all Of us who are interested in
aviation's future that our goal, the
community use of aircraft will be
realized"
