AIR BASE DEAL

Washington - A nautical
bargain Uncle Sam struck
with the British early in the
war is about to pay new divi-
dends to commercial air line
operators.
The u. S. got 99-year lease
to use the British bases in the
North Atlantic and the Carib-
bean for military purposes. In
return, it handed over SO over
aged American destroyers to
the British. The swap was ar
ranged early in 1911 through
negotiations between the Brit
ish ambassador, Lord Lothian,
and the then Secretary of State
Cordell Hull.
The air bases covered by the
pending deal are these:
Kindley Field on St. David's
Island, Bermuda; Verman
Field, near Kingston, Jamaica
Beane Field, at Vieux Fort,
Island of st. Lucia; Waller
Field, Port of Spain, Trinidad;
and Atkinson Field, near
Georgetown, British Guiana,
and Coolidge Field on Antigua
Island.
A big military field on the
southern coast of Newfound-
land, included in the destroyer
swap lease agreement, is not
covered by the new CONNER
cial airline scheme, since New
foundland is in the process of
becoming an independent
country.

OUTBOARD BOATING CLUB

A prominent North Shore
resident, Arnon N. Benson of
Is Robsart Road, Kenilworth,
executive head of the 100000
member Cupboard Boating
Club of America, saw the
fulfillment of an ambitious pro-
ject in the production of the
10th annual International
Sports, Travel and Boat Show,
February 9th through March
7, at Chicago's Navy Pier.
Two years ago Benson as
sumed leadership of group of
cupboard boating enthusiasts
dormant during the war. With
in "a months under his guild
ance the old organization was
-vitalized as the Cupboard
Boating Club of America and
expanded into the worlds larg-
est club of it's kind, with men,
bers and affiliates in every
state of the union.
One of the basic projects of
the new group was the national
promotion of conservation and
outdoor activity through pub
lie interest in outboarding, in
hunting, fishing, camping,
boating, and woodcraft. This
goal has been realized insofar
as the north-central states are
concerned through co-sponsor-
ship by the OBC of the Today
International Sports, Travel
and Boat Show.
To spearhead the OBC pro-
gram under Benson, a charact-
er known as lem Lubber"
will make his first public ap-
pearance at the Boat Show.
Lem Lubber" epitomizes all
the don'ts" of boating and IL
lustrates graphically the new
OBC national program for wat
er safety.

ROBOT INTERVIEWER

Boston-Personnel managers

machine around that may we'll
solve one of your biggest head
aches = picking the right per-
son for that job opening.
This is how it works: All ap-
plicants fill out the convention
al information blanks; the
promising candidates are then
interviewed in the presence of
the machine, called an Interac-
ton Chronograph, which times
the questions and answers. This
timing, says the machines in
ventor, affords the best practi-
cable test of an applicatant's
personality.
During the interview, the OPP
orator of the Chronograph
presses keys while the inter-
viewer and job-seeker are talk
ing. The length of time each
person talks and the intervals
between question and answer
indicate tendencies of the ap-
plicant to initiate and to carry
on activities.
