Show HERE AND THERE (By Hucares) Under the provision of the new-federal new-federal budget, if enacted, the civilian . pilot training program could train during fiscal 1942 (July, 1941-June, 1942) approximately approxi-mately 30,000 beginners and approximately ap-proximately 6000 secondary students stu-dents who already have graduated from beginners' courses. No doubt the budget will be approved (Continued on iast pae0 HERE AND THERE (Continued from first page) to include the recommendations of the Civil Aeronautics board in view of the CPT's overnight creation of a huge pilot reservoir for Uncle Sam's national defense. The thing that interests us a great deal is what the smaller cities of Utah will realize from the continuation of the civilian pilot training program. The program pro-gram now embraces 435 colleges, 528 civil flight schools and 76 non-college non-college centers. Should the Milford Mil-ford hangar be speedily completed (and a young fellow by the namej of Lunt, who lives in Cedar City, ! and shortly will be ready for an j instructor's rating wanted to con- j tribute his effonus toward build- j ing a training program) it no' doubt would be possible to achieve something beyond our fondest hopes. A friend of a friend of ours reports re-ports that some time ago, while ' returning from Las Vegas at about 3 a.m., he saw a beautiful young semi-nude blonde on the desert. We thought probably he had been inbibing too freely but now there are further reports of a similar nature coming in from tourists in that locality to substantiate sub-stantiate his story. If it' weren't so far from Los Angeles, we should venture to guess that the chamber of commerce of that far- j flung city wanted a recount of the! last census and was trying to bet-' ter the last count, or that a new j star is about to appear on the Hollywood firmament j Defense Chief Knudsen has in-! dicated the output of war planes has stepped up tb between 900 and 1000 planes a month. He had predicted the output at 700 by: January. Mr. Knudsen is much , too smart to give out vital num- bers so promiscously where they may be of value to the Axis. Ouri guess is that the aforementioned number would be nearer the total shipped to Britain. j Governor Herbert B. Maw's reorganization re-organization bill is having too smooth sailing. We predict that the bill will be given a favorable vote with certain amendments. It looks as though some behind-the-scenes horse-trading has been going on. The provision for taking tak-ing away from the cities ar.d counties their license fee allotments allot-ments will no doubt be discarded. We have heard the fastest thing on wheels was a Jew going throuL'h Germany on a bicycle. This must now be amended, according ac-cording to latest reports, to an Italian leaving Greece any kind of transportation. One hundred seventy-five buffalo, buf-falo, weeded from the Yellowstone park show herd to reduce its size to raniro-carrying capacity, will be distributed to Indians in Idaho. North and South Dakota. Montana Mon-tana and Wyoming. And, like their ancestors before them, the noble red men will eat the buffalo meat and make warm robes of the hides. No doubt a WPA project will be set up to instruct them in slaughtering and tanning! |
