these days to tell you that nothing is free, and now even the air you breathe and live in has been har- messed by an organization of ap- proximately l3,000 men-Airways and Air Communication Service. This closely-knit outfit of highly trained and specialized men and women has called a halt to what once was the dangerous practice of flying at whatever altitude and direction which seemed to please the pilot, and with over $150, ,000,- 900 worth of equipment in their hands, has made flying compar- atively safe occupation.
 How this was accomplished, and in how short time, is now his- tory to all airmen and the fame of the Airways and Air Comnuni- cations Service Qike it's tenacle- fashioned air controD has spread completely around the globe. The Pacific Ocean holds no fears for the Army pilot, nor does he hesi- tate to fly over the ice-covered regions of the Arctic. He knows that Airways and Air Communi- cations Service has set up control towers, assigned him a safe alti- tude, furnished accurate local wea- ther advice and kept his approach clear of other planes. He knows that an AACS-manned high-fre- quency station is operating to maintain contact with all planes flying between it and stations to

 from an AACS-operated range station) which will guide him to a safe landing. The pilot does not fear blind landings as he would in the past for AACS has developed equipment for adverse weather flying. ct few people, outside of those whose lives depend on the aids to air navigation furnished by AACS, know of the methods by which Airways and Air Communi- cations Service operates.
 The work first begins when re- cruits go through screening pro- cess upon entering the Army Air Foces. Aptitudes, mechanical abil- ity and general intelligence are measured by standard Army tests. Those men having qualifications for Air Communication Service work are shuttled to technical schools upon completion of their basic training. Here they are in- structed by seasoned communica- tions veterans in the myriad work ings of radios, teletype machines, Wire-photo devices and control tower equipment. When they com plete their courses, they are sent to the Airways and Air Communi- cations Service screening center now located at Langley Field, Vir- ginia. Here they are assigned to either domestic or foreign duty and proceed 10 their permanent stations as integral parts of the AirWays Police Force-"The Pi- lots Third Hand"
 To the men in the AACS goes the task of twenty hour wig ils over the sky, in lonely OutpoStS miles from any civilization, in thickly-populated areas where transformation could cause a crash on Main Street, or in other parts of the world where wrong instructions might cause an air plane to be lost in jungles or deserts.

Consider The Storm Sewers

HEAVY rains create lakes in many
narts of Wilmington, to the discomfort
and danger of motorists. Not lntre-
quently motors are stalled.
This condition is not restricted to
the recently annexed areas, but exists
in older sections of the city where there
has been ample time for successive ad-
ninistrations at the City Hall to correct
it. It indicates, for one thing, that
some street grades were not properly
constructed and not properly corrected
when the fault was discovered.
More, it indicates that Wilmington's
storm sewer system is Inadequate, es-
pecially at this time of year when trees
are shedding dead foliage and leaves
clog the traps at curbs.
There is need for complete over
haul of the storm sewers. and if it is
too great an undertaking to change low
grades where rain water collects so
heavily, spillways should be installed
to carry the water off.
The suburbs were assured that
adequate drainage would be provided
once they were in the city. Similar
assurance should be extended to resi-
dents in the old city, and something
done to make that pledge good.
/; Surely drainage is among the more
important improvements essential in
the city's development.
If it should be necessary to await
another budget, the administration at
least should keep sewer traps cleared
of rubbish and leaves now, as Whining
ton is subject to heavy rains through
out the spring and summer.
It is public service demanding
quick attention.

This would be a drab and unin-
teresting world If it weren't for
the condolences, just as it would be
poor world to live in If it weren'
for the fairies and pixies and Santa
Claus and Halloween.
Having delivered myself of that
bit of philosophical whimsy, may
I present Roscoe Turner Col
onel Roscoe Turner.
First, let me 60 back nearly a
score of years. l was doing a stint
in Greensboro. 1t was in the early
days of aviation. We received a
wire that group n Atlanta, G.
A, was interested in developing an
air mail service from Atlanta to
New York. Would we, the wire
said, arrange a landing field in
Greensboro for a fellow who was
flying around in an old crate char
ting a route? Futher. since the fell
low might nave hard time finding
the place, would we put some
sheets down IN a COW pasture so
he'd know where to land?
This latter l did. But the day
the fellow was due to arrive it
showed and you couldn't tell the
sheets for the snow. But finally
the snow melted and the fellow
came in and landed unheralded.
l saw him when he strobe into
my office. He was a gangling fell
low with mustachios with twirled
ends and he wore the most out
landish get-up ever | saw. A tunic

I'm Roscoe Turner" he said, in
a drawl you could slice with a
butter knife.
So he was.
For a few days we meandered
around Greensboro looking at DO
tential airfields. We finally picked
field that is now the Greensboro
-Winston-Salem airport.
l said goodbye to Turner - He
was Captain Turner then.
A year later l was standing in

was so famous he called such peo~
pie as Mr.. Gable, Clark: and Miss
Crawford, Joan.
Such was fame.
Then, nearly 10 years after I'd
first seen him, was registering in
a hotel in St. Louis one evening
when a great hullabuHoo went up
in the lobby.
Yes, here came my man, with a
retiaue! And, besides the retinue,
he was wearing, along with his
Ireplendent uniform, a coat made
of a lions skin.
Again we exchanged greetings
and started talking about what a
small world, ct cetera.
Then, night before last, / me.
John STEELE, the American Legion
national commander, who was here
with Governor Cherry and other
important parties.
And who do you suppose was one
of the importnt parties? Yes, it was
Colonel Roscoe Turner; this time
grown portly, but not pompous.
Still the guy Id met first in Greens
boro nearly 20 years ago, But now
he's an air tycoon, with a field
and what-not in Indianapolis. And
he has the pleasant task, each
year. of plotting the Legion COM
mander to the by-ways and hedges
of America.
This time we didn't just exchange
greetings. We sat back and talked
for a couple of hours, wondering
all this time out loud who is follow
ing whom.
When he left he gave me that
great big hand OF his and said in
that same drawl which started out
in Mississippi:
This isn't goodbye. It's till
we meet again. Because know
eoggoned well We'll meet again -
somewhere.

Intensive campaign for members, in
accordance with the annual custom.
Wilmington boys, whether ten or
seventy or anywhere between, are urged
to consider that in no other organiza-
ton can they find so many ways of
meeting their recreation, social and
spiritual needs and at the same time
lind greater opportunities for service;
and all at the nominal cost of member
ship.
Whether men drop in for a quiet
half hours reading, or, as members of
the special branch devoted to physical
oetterment, submit themselves to ex-
pert massage after variety of baths
Or participate in classes conducted for
moral and spiritual guidance; whether
boys join the athletic groups and teams
or find greater fun in the game room,
