When this war started, the experts were all set with their rule hooks, their war college tomes, and all the old phraseology, including the turning of enemy flanks, right and left, and strategic withdrawals. But they never thought of the "vertical flank" that could be and was to be turned by planes. The turning of the surface flank of the Polish armies was bad enough. But the turning of the vertical flank of the Polish army was also a basic reason for the disintegration. All through the Appearing through courtesy of Monday Bishop and Mrs.

This raised design will be placed on a shield, with the inscription, "nana" on a band under all. Hana is the Hawaiian word for 'work, which describes the nature of the Air Base group's duties. Charged with maintenance of the airdrome, and all the allied details, they are drawn from its personnel. At present, the Air Base Group's commanding officer is Lt. Col.

Charles B. DeShields and the group Sergeant Major is M-Sgt. Maurice Jacobson. Suggestion for Poster The current issue of Hickam Highlights carries this letter in its Open Forum column! "To the Editor, Hickam Highlights; What do you think of the idea of starting a poster contest and selecting the best to bring to the attention of Hickam's soldiers the importance of not discussing military matters in public? This poster idea has been used with a high degree of success in defense factories on the Mainland. The posters might be put in the offices, dayrooms, hangars, and perhaps even in the local buses." W.

W. Coffey of the Hickam Finance Dept. signed the letter. It was shown to several of the field's officers and the idea seems generally approved. Plans are afoot in the Highlights office to arrange details for such a contest.

As though it cost him much effort to climb aboard a newspaper's wave band, he at last managed to ask for the use of a typewriter. Ushered over to a machine that stood idle, he settled himself in the chair before it, pitched his hat onto the desk, then without any ado started hammering its keys as one to the office-manner born. Soon afterwards he rose and with a disarming smile offered up the results of his labor.

At first blush it seemed like a gesture of naval defense against the recent army onslaught on the held of poetry instead of an irrepressible urge to unfold in rhyme the thoughts that were budding in his brain. But at second blush his motive became clear. The same im pulse prods all of poetic or prosaic bent toward blank paper an idea that needs saying and causes a fever of unrest until it is said. Though it was hard to take anything poetic the right way after all the furore which the subject stirred up, John McGuire's "Prayer of a Kamaaina made it easier. "If things in nature are prophetic Passion dwells where'er a red flower grows, But no soul need be esthetic To comprehend the crimson beauty of the rose, Unlike the rose, perhaps portentous, the poppy red Was meant as a symbol for the blood From Flander's dead and dying, wounded In cold, grim battlefields of mud.

Their baggage was deposited, beards shaven and plans completed for a weekend that will never be forgotten.

Wanted to Stay So enthusiastic were the Bush-masters that upon arrival at the airport for the return trip to Wheeler, numerous attempts were made to inveigle the pilots into remaining another day. The slight rain and overhanging clouds gave all the men cause for hope. Although they jokingly threatened everything' from sabotage to larceny of the propel-lors, the two huge bombers took off for Wheeler at 3:45 p.m., Sunday. To men accustomed to finding their enjoyment in cities on Oahu whose population of service people makes it difficult to really get around, Hilo was a soldier's idea of a modern Shangri-La.

Experiments by harassed wearers of the tropical helmet as part of Marine's uniform have reduced its tendency to blow off in stiff breezes and become literally a skimmer in the breeze. Local Marines have copied Ewa's 2nd Marine Airgroup solution to the problem and cut a hole in the helmet's top, hen placed a cross groromet thereon. That lessens the uncertainty of the piece remaining firmly on the noggin. The whistling effect thus created is startling, it's re. ported, and has caused some confusion, but in time, will be as routine as the whine of bullets on the rifle range.

By KRESS AND BAIiCA Stimulated by national defense activity, aviation's payroll has skyrocketed 400 per cent in two years. Official figures say, there are now 136,000 employees in the aviation industry compared with 23,700 In 1933. Among those thousands Is John F. Gehrlick, formerly of this squadron, at the Ryan Aircarft in San Diego. In this concern of vital significance to technical training, Gehrlick tests eight training planes weekly at a weekly salary of $55, a contrast to his $34 monthly as an AMMlc.

Gehrlick's erstwhile shipmate, B. A. Franklin, has retired to the Tennessee hills to educate home folks in the "new invention, the aeroplane." He's making rapid progress, having charge of a ground crew at Nashville's airport. Though civilian life separates them for the first time in six years, Gehrlick commutes to Tennessee in his Sportster monoplane, the same sportster he and Chester Palmer brought down in a forced landing last year.
