 The Hydraulic Shop at the Main Hangar claimed attention this week. Namely special visitation by many of our upper bracket per sonnel. The reason, a special demonstration of Dick Movers in genious invention of a carbon dioxide spray fire extinguisher for use on the Fuel Pump Test Ma chine.

Post War Jobs;

One is the helicopter, which the CAA says "is developing fast" Another is the always possible de- velopment of an entirely new kind of plane so useful that it will be manufactured in quantity and sold at popular prices. Neither of these are Gin sight today for the near future," CAA men say.
 As for the commercial airlines, CAA officials say "it is evident, and airline officials emphasize this, that the airlines will not be big employers of labor after the war"
 Before the war, there were ap- proximately $50 airline planes in continuous operation. These re- quired about crews and an esti- mated 23 people on the ground for each plane. A fleet of 1000 DC3s- 3 times the pre-war number and the most optimistic estimate for the first postwar years-would require from to 8 thousand men as flight crews, and 23,000 on the ground. However, many of these positions will be filled by former airline employees now in service.
 Men from the Army Air Trans port Command or the Naval Air Transport Service are generally conceded to have the best chance for any of the comparatively few openings, flying and non-fying, which may develop in airline op- eration.
 On the ground, the outlook is a little brighter. Congress is now considering the National Airport Plan, drawn up by the CAA, which would double the number of air ports (from to thousand)- 90% of the increase being the smaller fields for private flyers. CAA estimates these new fields will produce 63,000 operational jobs and 125, 1000 jobs in all.
 The CAA, itself, will expand as flying increases, but will take back its own men in service first. There are only a few flying jobs in the CAA. Those few require pilots of exceptional skill, and many years of experience on wide variety of airplanes. Employment possibilities as pilot with the GAIA, fare so small as to be negligible, at least for several years," GAIA officials say. Airways jobs, from engineer ing to maintenance, will be avail

able with the CAA Communica- tions, Air Traffic Control and Main tenance Divisions as airways are expanded after the war. Today there are 37,OOO miles of airways in the US. and 5000 miles of air ways in Alaska, and the Airways Service of the GAIA employs $500 persons. This number may be ex- pected to double if expected flying increases come to pass.
 Most of the postwar employ ment opportunities relating to the air will come within the field of Industrial Flying. Some of these opportunities will be discussed in the next article.

took care of that. Everybody in the world is tied to everybody else. When a man suffers in Africa, men in America, Asia, Europe and Aus tralia suffer with him.
 "There is only one way to live in peace and comfort in any land and that is the way of brother hood, of kindliness, goodwill to- ward all men. When one knows a man, one can only like him, feel with him and wish him well. Let us try to know each other that way" -=:
 Because opposition to racial dis crimination must take practical measures, Archbishop Spellman has endorsed the Appoint program is- sued by the American Jewish Com mittee with the following pledges: 1. I will spread no rumor and no
 slander against any sect.
 2. I will never try to indict whole
 people by reason of the de-
 linquency of any member.
 8. will daily deal with every man
 in business, in social and in
 political relations only on the
 basis of his individual worth. 4. In my daily conduct I will con-
 secrate myself, hour by hour, to
 the achievement of the highest
 ideal of the dignity of mankind,
 human equality, human fellow
 ship and human brotherhood.
 USO, by it's very inter-faith nature, has played an important role in this reafirmation of mans brotherhood by the equality of treatment and attention accorded all who cross the threshold of a USO Club.
 No plan for bettering relation ships is any better than the people who use it. To make the world a better place each must start by making himself a better person. The results depend upon every one of us: upon our sense of justice; our respect for individual human beings; upon our rededicating our selves to the virtue of charity. For Brotherhood, like Charity, begins at Home.

THE CHAPLAIN
 Writes Chaplain Wm. J. Van Cleve
Joe's ''Maw"
 .>t# .:.+.t,: :e- <. Gets Help
Dear. Gertrud:

Dear Gertrud:
 I'm glad you ain't mad anymore even if didn't right you a nice long letter and explain everything like the chaplain told me to about that red-head went out with at Hartford. And Gertrud, i'll promise that i won't ever go out with her anymore again even if you did tell me it wood be alright just so i re- membered that i had a girl friend back home waiting for me. Her boy friend is bulk sargent in the army and he was home on furlow last week, and i'll bet that the Japs or the Germans won't like his looks any better than did. I'll bet he weighs at least 200 pounds, and it aint fat either, if you know what i mean.
 I got letter from maw and she wondered about that allotment i made for her just before i came up here after she had to quit her job. She didn't say anything about be- ing sick and maybe having to have an operation like you did. Of course maw woodn't say anything like that, as you know, if she thought it might worry me while was be- ing soldier for uncle Sam. After got your letter went right over to see the chaplain about what to do and the chaplain told me that it sometimes took those a-lotments a long time to go through but that she wood get every cent of it. Then he took me over to the Red Cross here and they promised to check , up quick on maw's condition and help her in every way that she needed any help. They said that they wood see that she got sent to hospital and had the operation if she needed it, and that if she was bad sick that they wood help me get an emergency furlow to come home. That certainly relieved my mind, and i hope that they find that maw doesn't need the operation at all. :::
 Pm glad that you like the way i have been going to these chapel services like promised you and l maw wood, and expect to keep it up too. I find that these services do me lot of good like they do everybody else that goes. It makes a feller feel more like being good soldier and wanting to do his part and not be always goofing off like some fellers do. The chaplain some times kind of gets under our hide , a little bit, but when he does we know it is for our own good and that he is trying to make better soldiers out of us, and he always ends up by making us feel like we wood at least try to do better in every way. Maybe can get fur low some Of these days like you been wanting me to ever since i got in the army. think i'll go and see the chaplain about that.
 Yours till see you.
