Cordially Invites
You to Air Field

On Sunday, 27 May 1945, the
Coolidge Air Field will commemo-
rate the 4th anniversary of the
Air Transport Command. The ATC
was activated 29 May 1941 as the
Ferrying Command of the Army
Air Corps. On 20 June 1912 it was
reorganiZed and designated as the
Air Transport Command.
The Coolidge Army Air Field was
taken over by the Ferrying Division
of the Air Transport Command on
Is May 1914 and this field was des-
ignated as the 3rd Ferrying Service
Station. Personnel transferred
from Phoenix and Tucson stations
made up this new ferrying field.
Practically every day there are
hundreds of planes flown over your
communities by ferry crews from
the Army, Navy and Marine Air
Corps They stop for servicing at
this field and many remain over
night enroute to their overseas
port of aerial embarkation.
This command extends to all
citizens of this community, both
civilian and military, a cordial in
vitation to visit our field on Sunday
27 May 1916 between the hours of
200 p. m. and $50 p. m. Refresh
ments will be served and you will
be conducted on a tour of the field.
1t is our wish that you become
acquainted with the work which
we are doing in this global war
and also afford the personnel OF
this command an opportunity of
becoming better acquainted with
you.

The Coolidge Army Air Field has

Nations Problems
Urues H.L. Durham
Vice President of Valley Ma
tional Bank Cites Perils
To Democracy and Our
Free Economy and Points
to Cooperative Solution.

Speaking on THE Education OF
Citizen in a Democracy, H. l..
Dunham, vice president of the Val
ley National Bank, told members
and visitors at the Lions club
dinner-meeting Wednesday evening
that citizens of the United States
must talk less of their privileges
and liberties as citizens of this
great democracy and think more
about their responsibilities under
the form of government and the
economy we know and cherish, or
the privileges and liberties will be
taken from us and our free economy
will disappear.
The speaker warned that even
now the United States and Great
Britain (and the British common
wealths) were the last bulwarks OF
democracy and free economy in the
world. He pied for greater under
standing between differing social
and economic groups to the end
that all might work together for the
same important goal-the preserva-
ton of the American form of gov
ernment and American economy,
as We have known it. With the
man to man approach" and free
discussion, he said many of the
differences that divide us would
be found to be petty and general
agreement could be reached on es-
sential thinking and action as citi-
zens with a common interest that
is basic.
I'VE must learn to do things
on cooperative basis" he
stated, land compose small diff
ferences to accomplish big things" T"
He spoke of the great social prob
lens which would follow the war,
which are already facing us in
fact, told of the need of under
standing basic economy-the need
of assuming greater social respon-
sibility by those in positions of
financial leadership-and laid es-
pecial emphasis on the part the
church and all religious organiza-
tions could play in adjusting our
national difficulties, providing the
churches were given proper support
and backing by citizens of the ma
ton whose spiritual life they guide
Dunham spoke of the growth oi
government, of the far-reaching eff
feet of politics in our daily lives
and in the future of this nation and
the world. He commended, with
no endorsement of its immediate
objectives, the Straightforward
shoulder approach of Molotoff and
Stain to diplomatic and political
questions. And in closing, advised
Americans to quit their gripping
at all public officials and bodies
''to elect a national government
they can trust-and then live with
it,"
The speaker was introduced Dy
Jack Pond, manager of Coolidge
branch of the Valley Nationa
Bank, who served as chairman fol
the evening. Vice President VIM
Mcconnell presided over the we'll
attended gathering. Ensemble sing
ing was under leadership of Rev
