 Small communities cannot ignore the Air Age because they are not reached by the airlines. The ghost towns of the future will have died because they had no landing strip. Indicative of the interest in provid- ing landing strips for their towns are the many requests for airport information received from town of- ficials, chambers of commerce, f1iers, and oil companies with gas stations to revamp.
 An advantage to the average lit- tie town in carrying out landing strip plans now. is prestige for progressiveness in stimulating the growth of new industry: there will be new jobs around the airport; more transient trade will come to the town; other industries will like the location if raw. materials and parts are accessible by air and town merchants can fly in special mer- chandise for their customers. Bull warking these points is the theory that once there are landing facili- ties in an area, peoples interest in buying or renting planes and flying will snowball rapidly.

All that is needed is a straight sod strip at least 1800' by 1OO', running into the prevailing winds, a wind sock, a direction pointer, air marking numerals and corner markers. This is the minimum. It should be near the town and high way, allowing for expansion into regular airport complete with hang CTS, servicing facilities, parking space, shops. etc. Even though planning along this line is greatly encouraged. care should be taken to insure that large expenditures are not made for improvements which may become obsolete within . few

ABOUT RACIAL MATTERS

From the lips of nurses aides and
Red Cross workers in the Birming-
ham General Hospital in Van Nuys,
California, has come a heartening
tale Of the excellent race relations
that exist in this newest hospital for
overseas casualties, the 57th of its
kind III the United States. And it

the installation and saw that the col
ored patients were everywhere COM
pleteiy integrated into the life Of the
hospital, and that many of them had
formed firm friendships with the
white patients.
All of them were so lacking in self
consciousness about the whole matter
that il wasn't even necessary to ask
questions about it. They all regard
ed themselves and each other as Am
ericans who had done good job for
their country, not as men with one or
the other skin-coloring.
The hospital is entirely unconcern-
ed about racial matters. When the
returned servicemen arrive, they are
classified by wards, according to the
nature of their ailments, not accord
ing 70 their racial origins. AS a re-
snlt, practically every section of the
hospital has men of several racial

At one time, the neuro-surgical
ward contained white, colored, Mex

the others. In this ward, just now,
there happens to be a white officer
who commanded colored troops in AT

est or praise and admiration for their
outstanding work in the war.
One Red Gross worker told me Of
seeing a white patient whose wound
was SO serious that gangrene had sc,
in. The stencil from this was SO pow

room, and it was not often that he
was visited by people other than his
regular attendants. However, as the
Red Cross worker passed his room,
she locked in and saw sitting by his
bed. colored soldier, himself about

books up for the wounded white boy
to read, and turning the pages for
hirn. When the colored 10y came out
OF surgery and was in great pain, he
too received special attention from
his white friends in the hospital.
During the past several weeks
there has. been a lot of fun in the
orthopaedic ward. One white bed
patient had guitar, another banjo.
A colored patient nearby managed to
find hollow box, two sticks and
two lemons. He fastened the lemons
on the ends of the sticks and found he
had mighty effective drum. So he
sang and drummed while the others
played their instruments, and new
jazz band was born.
