Callahan said. In these days.
when the whole world is air-minded
l know of no more constructive or
beneficial mpner in which the in
terest OF thE younger generation

own ingenuity and its own hands. "
Maj. Callahan said the impor-

pastlme and hobby is shown by the
direct benefits it produces. Its

the attention. of our youth away
from those forms of amusement
which result in trouble for juveniles
and for the authorities who must
cope with juvenile problems, Mai.
Callahan asserted.
