Aj September rolls around, public. private and parochial high schools throughout the nation wilt have radical iy altered their curricula to In elude instruction in pre-flig- train- ing under the auspices of the Air Training Corps of America, working in conjunction with the Civil Aeronautics administration and the U. S. office of education. Educators themselves readily ad mit that the war, with the attention it hai focused on aviation, must be credited in large measure for the Sliced and efficiency with which ATCA's program has been launched, although the programs peacetime objectives are considered equally important. Studying With New Interest. Regardless of cause, this September some 500,000 boys who voluntarily are enrolling in ATCA units will be studying algebra, geometry, physics, and other subjects with a new interest. Theyll be enthusiastic about subjects they once considered "dry because these studies will be taught in terms of aviation. During five, or more, hours each week, ATCA members will study training such subjects in as air navigation, communications, aerodynamics, meteorology, safety, and the structure and design of engines. And if there are those who doubt the enthusiasm with which boys are taking these courses, they need eoly visit one ef the s bools whrre the ATCA ceursea already bars been Introduced. There these youngsters ran be sera tackling the fundamental problems of aviation with aa eagrrnesa that la surprising. They build their own model planes to scale, following specifications provided by the arrny and navy. These planes perform a useful function in the classes on spotting, where ATCA members learn how to distinguish one type from another at a casual glance and from any angle. New Ktle School Arguments.

ATCA members present a dashing appearance In their uniforms especially designed for the corps.

The red and white ATCA insignia is attached to the upper left sleeve. Considering the spirit it has injected into the system of teaching, it is not surprising that ATCA courses are finding a ready welcome in the schools. As for the army and navy they, too, are all for it. They have long recognized that the best professional flier is the one who has been trained from youth. They realize the importance of the program In filling the lack that bas existed for providing training in the fundamentals of aviation. Objectives of ATCA have been endorsed by Robert A. Lovett, assistant secretary of war for air, and by Robert Hinckley, assistant secretary of commerce and founder of the Citizens Pilot training program. Sponsoring the work of the ATCA are some of the outstanding men and women in the country, including Bernard Baruch, James A. Farley, Alfred E. Smith, Jeremiah T. Mahoney, chairman of the games committee; C. R. Smith, ex president of American airlines; Robert Hinckley, assistant secretary of commerce, and Mrs. Colin Kelly, widow of the American air hero. Thats the story of ATCA. Its one of those things created during war which is not necessarily a part of war. It will, educators feel confident, live long after the war is over, and the ways of peace returned again, because it is inextricably tied up with aviation and aviation itself has many long and vigorous years stretching ahead of d. It was press and radio conference day at the White House. We were crowded around the big desk In the executive office. It was hot. The President was seated at his desk, costless. In a white shirt and black tie. He was leaning over a typewritten statement before him, read, ing it carefully, puffing out his cheeks and then blowing out slowly, as many people do when they are concentrating. It happened to be a newsful day and the answers to the reporters questions and the explanations of two long statement filled columns in the papers which you read the next day. The first announcement, the one which he was reading over to him. self when we came in, is the one which I want to speak about the warning to (he Axis perpetrators of acts of atrocity against the civilian peoples of the occupied countries. Brutal though the theme was, ominous though the warning. I was suddenly struck by the feeling that here, in the midst of hatred and slaughter, was an effort to maintain the spirit of decency and humanity, the things we are really fighting for. The whole intent of the warning was to assure justice even for the enemy. America was committing itself to the principle that the Axis with its policy of making the innocent suffer for another's offense-su- ch as the shooting of hostages would be punished, not by blind vengeance as brutal as the crime It would avenge, but by due process of law. Gestapo and military officials after the war would be tried in a court in the country where the crimes were committed. I WK or MOLX life lurniihfd !! Musty Wtlt AhftOt fr Ofci.

This week I was talking with William Bird, a former foreign correspondent who is a keen student of human nature and who spent some time with an organization in France, in the early days of the present war, called the groupes francs. These consisted of about two dozen men, divided Into squads of six. Each squad was quartered In a single barrack room, and each was completeThe members of ly autonomous. the squad had no contact with the rest of the battalion, or even with the members of other similar squads, except in the planning and execution of operations involving more than one squad. They did not even attend the company mess, but cooked their meals on the barrack room stove. "You know, Bird explained to me, what gives zest to hunting is the clement of danger to the huntsmaa Some men will travel half way around the world for the thrill of risking their lives in battle with a tiger or an elephant. The same kind of man gets an even bigger thrill from war, because man is a deadlier foe than any beast The Commandos and the Rangers are made up largely of men who thrive on mortal danger.' e The Penonnel MiW AND a u ms a t aro assist k. eOatn. tin, i aasslaw aa rasas. art u w hisssi. l c USED CARS TRAILERS TRAILER COACHES Literal C radii irrm JESSE M.
