Answer TO Question No. 3
My feeling, after much study,
is that race prejudices arc chiefly
due 20 education and environ
ment and arc only 10 a minor
degree Unborn. An American
reared among the japanese
would in all probability never
know such a thing as preiudiceS
toward these races. OF course.
whore two races arc forced 10
dwell m the same region. strong
preJudiceS probably justified -
do arise due TO difference in
habits and culture and possibly
TO some difference IN intelligence
and temperament. But these
develop only a mature people:
If they were natural they would
probably exist IN babies.

Navy Mascot
Called CPO

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind UP -
Chief Puppy officer" Rybolt,
canine mascot at the Indianapolis
armory. turned pastime of chas-
ing sailors into a career.
Today the small brown dog with
the uncertain pedigree is a familiar
sight as he shuffles along with some
semblance OF sea-swagger behind
one OF the many gobs stationed
here.
His barnacle attachment to sail
ors has brought him not only Il
permanent home but a rank as
well. He has been raised to chief
puppy officer and his duties in
clude the official function of greet
ing all newcomers, barking fac
well to overseas-bound sailors and
leading all drill parades.
Chief Rybolt's naval career be-
gan several months ago when
Chief Boatwain Orville Rybolt,
then stationed here, found a SILVER
ing, half-starved puppy and took
him TO the ship" where dogs hith-
erto had been taboo. Navy hours
and regular chow swiftly brought
the canine Rybolt back to health
and as he grew so did his affection
for sailors until today anyone not
in navy blue or white is strictly
beneath his consideration.
Rybolt. OF course, has "shore
leave" like all good sailors. He al
ways follows the feet to Riverside
amusement park and usually drops
anchor at the hot dog stand. The
mascot owns the enviable reputa-
ton OF being the only sailor who
never pays his own way at the
stand and scarcely one of his bud
dies has never stood treat.
A pleasant memory TO former
station personnel, many OF whom
are overseas, Rybolt is the reason
for dozens OF letters from gobs
transferred from here and their
frequent inquiries about him prove
that although they may leave a
gill behind in every port they will
be true to the dog they left in In-
dianapolis.

flew to Frankfort, Mich. Saturday
10 participate in the glider meet
presented there from September 2
TO TO- Mr. Prescott flew the open
cockpit Fairchild and towed the
Cinema two-place glider with Mr..
Murphy at the glider controls. They
stopped at Cadillac late Saturday
afternoon and had planned to go on
TO Frankfort before dark. but stated
that practically the whole town
turned out to watch them land
and that the people OF the town
were so enthusiastic about the glid-
err that they insisted on being taken
for rides, and one man insisted on
having dual instruction.
Mr.. Murphy reported seeing FIVE
deer in open fields after leaving
Cadillac Sunday morning.
The glider meet at Frankfort this
week is the first held there in four
years and the residents of that city
were reported as being very happy
to see the elders back. Frankfort
is one of the best gliding spots In
the country and rates next to Ell
mira, y. Y, which is the gliding
center Of the country.
No outstanding flights were
made over the week end, according
to the report, although gliding con-
ditions were becoming better on
Monday afternoon due to the winds
which were coming in with the high
pressure area.
The high winds enabled Messrs.
Murphy and Prescott to return 20
Ypsilanti in the Fairchild in two
hours, a distance OF about $50
miles, and they plan to fly to
Frankfort again on Saturday for
more soaring and to bring their
glider back. The Franklin glider
belonging to Bill Bedford was ship
ped up the latter part OF last week,
and Robert Sparkling is also attend
ing the meet with his Wolf glider.
