WEEKLY CREMATION CHAT
Aid Society Helps
 AAFers' Dependents

The Army Air Forces Ai1 So- ciety was born out of the need for preparing large-scale organiza- tion to help needy AAF personnel work out their postwar problems
 And what are those problems? Securing suitable employment, con- tinuing interrupted education, pro viding for dependents of honorably discharged or retired Officers and enlisted men and maintenance of families of deceased AAF person. mel. .>
 Long range plans are under way in the AAF family for seeing that all worthy Air Force members are cared for adequately.
 The Society is today the only or ganization primarily concerned with helping AAF personnel ex- clusively after the war. Voluntary memberships, gifts and legacies will ultimately build up trust fund of s20,OO0,0OO which will be used to render aid to members of the AAF family and their depend ents. :.
 Robert A. Lovett, Assistant Sec retary of War for Air, is president of the Society, while Mrs. Henry H. Arnold is vice-president. Gen. eral Arnold is on the Board of Managers.

 1. Opportunity of employment for all.
 2. Higher standards of living.
 3. Minimum standards of en- ployment.
 4. Provision for child welfare
 5. Provision for regular income for incapacitated and aged.
 6. Recognition of the right of collective bargaining.
 '. Provisions for training and transfer of labor.
 "All human beings, irrespective of race, creed or sex, have the right to pursuit of both their material well-being and their spiritual dew elopment in conditions of freedom and dignity, of economic security and equal opportunity"
 Washington announced that US, Britain and Russia have guaran- teed the exiled governments of Bel gium, Netherlands and Norway civil control of their nations as soon as it is militarily possible.

ITALIAN FRONTS

In the midst of tremendous air assaults on western Europe, hard won Allied gains mount on the Ita- ian front. During the past week, American, French, Polish, Italian, Canadian and British Dominion troops cracked the 25 mile "steel and concrete" Gustav Line at sal tent points against fierce counter attacks. Ten miles beyond the Gus tav Line lies the Adolf Hitler Line. The British 8th Army joined the French in overrunning the south ern portions of the Liri Valley and contacting the main German out posts of the Hitler Line.
 Gassino is virtually encircled by British and Polish forces.
 Early in the week bombers struck railroad targets, including the famous supply route, the Bren- ner Pass.
 Spain busted Nazis and Japs from Tangier.

AIR OFFENSIVE OVER EUROPE

A zero hour atmosphere prevail e3 over Europe, as Allied planes bombed objectives from the north ern Ruhr to the Battles, whenever weather permitted. The Poelitz synthetic oil refneries near the Port of Stettin were hit. Russian bombers attacked military trains and stores at Dvinsk in Latvia and Tartu in Estonia. Carrier planes concentrated on oil tanks and fish oil factories in Norway.
 The Big Three, as the United States, Britain and Russia are called, warned Rumania, Bulgaria and Finland to get out of the War.

MAIN STREET MEDLEY
By
KATHERINE HUPFEL

Main Street will greet a New
Year Sunday night - upon whose
scroll, momentous events will be
written but there will be few
glad voices raised in greeting as
1916 steps upon the threshold of a
shattered world. True, there
are some on Main Street whose sons
are not at war and there are others,
who, in a small way, have profited
by what the old year held - but
Main Streets heart, that beats with
the ebb and flow of the feelings of
the community, will not be attuned
to celebration +. Perhaps, be-
cause many of us have begun to
realize that we, who think ourselves
civilized in reality, represent
a diminishing stage of barbarism"
:. Our opportunities have been
great, our lot in America, even now,
is better than that of any other
nation But with the coming
of the New Year we are sad, for we
know that it will begin, at least,
as year of tearing down - while
only in building up can man pro-
gress If all the effort, and
thought and money used since 1912
for tearing down had gone toward
building up Main Street, and
thousands like it, would greet the
New Year with glad acclaim and
the Joy born of men with vision
to follow.
A Christmas basket found its
way into needy Coolidge
home by a devious route this
year. -. In the last minute
rush 1t was found that one Of
the towns organizations still
had a certain amount of cash
to be spent for this purpose
but where? The towns needy
families must surely have been
taken care of by now A
series of telephone calls began
and at last "the forgotten fam
lily" was located, and the basket
delivered -. The one who took

of feeling, as the words of a simple

dynamic young football strategist,
Is coaching kingpin again, but in
stead Of guiding his erstwhile "Paby

Browns ascendency yesterday to
the head coaching berth held the
last two years by 1t. Comdr. Paul
D. (Tony) Hinkle, present Great
Lakes athletic oficer, hardly sur
prised the football fraternity.
For the last several weeks-as

calling all the shots for the Blue
jackets In an OF the record practice
AS matter Of fact generally it was
believed Brown was headed for the
post ever since he donned Navy blue.
The appointment was made, Capt.
Robert r. M. Emmett, training CEN
ter commander announced, to re-
lease Hinkle for full-time duty as
athletic of1cer following the de-
tachment of 1t. John L. Griffith,
former assistant athletic director.
The accent is on youth as far as
Browns Bluejacket material is con-
cerned, but the former Massillon
(Ohio) High School wonder coach
has good reason for promising to
turn out "a respectable football
team"
Great Lakes opens its 1914 H.

be one of the toughest, bitterest
fights of the year.
Matchmaker Gabe Menendez and
Promoter Joe Turner made a neat
catch in signing the battlers for
their top attraction of the summer,
because behind the pairing is q
blazing rivalry that has existed in
the Wright and Latsios camps since
Nick's unexpected one-round KO
over Double Bee at Turner'S Arena
this past winter.
Following that upset, Wright
zoomed along as the sharpest young
puncher in the welter division. and
when he finally lured Nick into q
return fight in Pittsburgh recently,
floored Latsios three times and
copped the decision. Wright is re-
garded by ringworms as the one
fighter who can catch up with cuties
and bicycle riders and make them
fight. The young Negro slugger
beat cagey Frankie Wills recently,
flattening him twice.
Wright and his manager, DR.. John
E. Randall, are as happy as the
commissioners about cornering Nick
for a rubber match here and are
predicting another smashing victory.
