Show Armed Forces Naval Air Station, Pasco, Wash. Aviation Cadet Lamar Harrison Holley, son of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Holley of R. F. D. No. 1, Springville, Spring-ville, Utah, successfully completed his primary flight training yesterday yester-day at the Naval Air Station at Pasco, Wash., and was transferred to Corpus Christi, Texas, for advanced ad-vanced flight training. After about three months he will receive his Navy "Wings" and a commission as Ensign in the Naval Reserve or Second Lieutenant in the Marine Corps Reserve. Cadet Holley was graduated from Springville high school in 1940. Dear Sirs: I feel that it is just about time that I got around to expressing my thanks for the Springville Herald, which I am so happy to receive each week. I realize that there is very little I can add in way of thanks for the home town paper that all of us in the Armed Forces receive each week, but I will add my sincere thanks to you and to the Junior Chamber of Commerce for the real pleasure I obtain from reading the paper. At the present time I am in pre-flight pre-flight school for pilots here at the Santa Ana Air Base. Believe me, when I say that this is really strict military training we are receiving along with various classes in code, aircraft identification, mathematics, mathemat-ics, naval craft identification and gunnery. They are really giving us the fundamental knowledge that will be of real benefit in performing perform-ing our duties in this war. Thanks again. Sincerely, Floyd M. Anderson.
