Qualifications will be similar to those of the army air corps and applicants must have taken or agree to take physics, algebra, geometry and trigonometry. Physical requirements, however, will be less exacting than the army air corps on the theory that cadets may correct deficiencies before reaching military age. Glancing into the squadron's short but active historythe first job was courier service for the Second air force, begun several months, before the squadron's actual founding in January, 1942. Using small 65 and 90 horse power planes, seven men and two women courier pilots made regular daily "runs'' for nearly a year and a half between army bases at Moses Lake, Ephrata, Walla Walla, Geiger field, Fort George Wright, SPAAD and Pendleton. RECRUIT FOR ARMY.

One of the big jobs that was just recently wound up was the recruit. ing of air WACS and army air corps cadets. The uniforms of the, civil air patrol became a familiar' sight at Fells field during the last three months as they piled prospects into the back seat of the army L-3s (liaison) planes and gave them a 15-minute hop over Spokane and the surrounding picturesque country. The recruits' loved it and patiently awttlted their turn in the olive drab Many of the riders were up for their first ride and over 100 were flown without a single case of airsickness, which speaks well for the smooth handling on the part of CAP pilots. Wanting to do even more for the, war effort, the squadron has organized an emergency-industrial courier service for the Inland Em-1 pite.

Soon to go into action, the will aid the many war and the Red Cross in obtaining vitally needed war and erliergency products with a minimum of time and effort. BUSINESS FOLK SHARE. Spokane squadron is made up of 125 business men and women and mote than 100 provisional mem-1 hers, most of whom are flyers, and 200 cadets who comprise high school juniors and seniors scholastically in the upper part of their' classes. Some of them have joined to learn more about aviation and others attend meeting to reap the benefits of military discipline prior to entering the armed forces. The study of navigation, mete-, otology, civil air regulations and other subjects necessary to obtain their private pilot's license keeps them busy at their regular weeklyn meetings.

Quite a few cadets are now actually taking flight The pilots and observers practice military drill, listen to lectures and receive a practical study of auch aviation subjecta as plane-to-tower procedure, used in landing a plane, and the study of aeronautical charts for cross-country flights. Typical subjects of guest speakers, all authorities and highly experienced in their fields, are accident causes and prevention, control, tower procedure, cross-country flying, future of aviation in schools, history of aviation and the care and maintenance of aircraft. ALL 1VALKS OF LIFE. Squadron staff members afford an excellent example of the huge cross section of business people interested in aviation and in helping to do their part in the war effort. Included among the group are a retail grocer, food broker, grade school principal, local war plant official, city employee, aviatfon insurance representative, airport An honor and a privilege this Is the spirit that typifies the work; of Spokane squadron of the civil! air patrol.

Familiarly known as CAP, It is an army air force auxiliary which has been cited numerous times for its work. 26 GAVE LIVES. Perhaps the most outstanding have been the eastern and gulf coastal patrols.

Flying tiny land planes, CAP pilots, 26 of whom have given their lives, have flown as far as 150 miles from the coast line in bad weather, and have sunk enemy subs. They have piled up thousands of hours of military courier flights for the air forces in order to release active combat pilots for duty. Eight have given their lives on courier missions. They have towed targets in the daytime and flown for many tiring hours under the glare of activating searchlights. Calling upon civil air patrol wherever an immediate flying job was needed, one squadron has even aided in exterminating' preying coyotes by machine gunning them from the air.

Sitting with his legs dangling over the side of the tiny plane and holding the gun in his hands, the observer would fire at the animals as the pilot swooped the plant low over the Texas plains. The entire organization has a roster of more than 100,000 memberspilots, ground personnel and cadets. It boasts such prominent figures as Zack Mosley, author of fhe "Smilin' Mary Astor, who served on coastal patrol as a plotting board operator; Henry King, movie director; Bob Cummings, Andy Devine, Wallace Beery, Carole Landis and scores other celebrities. PATROL IN MOVIES. A technieolor moving picture showing Spokane cadets and members in action will be previewed May 20 at Lewis and Clark high school.

Approved by a representative of the war department, the colorful and interesting hour-length movie, required a year and a half to complete. It was filmed by Lieutenant Benton Belknap, squadron photographic officer. It shows Spokane business men and women and high school cadets on a rescue mission by plane, flying urgently needed Red Cross medical supplies. It gives a glimpse' of them at their studies and drill at night school classes held at Lewis and Clark high school. Inland Empire scenery, filmed from the air, will reveal new beauty to Spokane residents, and the filming of actual maneuvers, spins, stalls and lazy-eights from the pilot's point of view will provide thrills for beauty lovers.

Many Spokane residents who are CAP members have participated in the filming. Realizing more and more the reservoir of aid in civil air the task of -training cadets has become an important future activity. Obsolete aircraft engines, instruments and 'other valuable materials, released by the air service command, are to be requisitioned to CAP for this program. This means the most practical study available, will be maintained for young flyers. The future extensive activity of CAP pilots on rescue missions for the army air force in this area is anticipated.

Under the supervision CAP wing headquarters and Ile army air forces, CAP pilots will patrol Inland Empire and surrounding territory for army planes that have crashed. These are but few of the many exciting duties that are "in the wind" for the Npakane squadron. GAMES AND DAMES. High school students and others who are giving their time in the vital program of CAP are not without their recreation and social programs, fon this phase of "military" life has been well cared for.

One selling point for people making only single night's journeys is that there are no additional charges beyond the regular coach fare, Another passenger car expected to come into wide post-war use is the duplex roomette introduced by the Pullman company in April, 1942. It has 24 alternately low and upper roomettes (the latter reached by two steps) arranged along each side of a center aisle.

Two air WAC prospects get a "ground's eye' view of a maneuver which they have just flown from Felts field, Spokane, with First Lieutenant Wynona Graham. Lieutenant Graham, MAY OPEN THROTTLE. Railroad men realize that they have tough competition ahead, from low-cost busses and private autos on the one hand and from fast-flying planes on the other. An executive of one big railroad equipment company says that the recent record-breaking cross-country flight of the Constellation "has pointed up the need for an open throttle on engineering resources of our industry." A reduction in plane fares is regarded as almost certain after the war. A survey of the companies which build both the coaches and Pullman cars shows that railroad travelers may expect: Seats that will be deeper, softer and set farther apart.

Their games are marked by high competitive spirit, and if drills under fnilitary masters have not taken the kinks out of arms and limbs, these games help finish the job. Then there are social nights when the jitterbugs and other dancers go into action.

Altogether it means a balanced schedule of work and play which is making the CAP cadets the envy of the neighbors, so to speak. When the 800-meter patrol has been recruited these 'isports contests and dances will be something to talk about. Civil air patrol as much as any wilunteer organization engaged in the war effort may well have the right to feel proud of itself. Starting out as an OCD (office of civilian defense) "baby" the organization grew in strength and value and was then taken over in the spring of 1943 by the AAP. Continuing to set an enviable record of successful achievement the army air forces have taken more and more of an interest in the group and at the present have placed the operation or military tasks into CAP's rapable hands.

Mason H. Bigelow. president of the society, recalls that "33 years ago, a few pioneers decided to inaugurate a program to assure good eyes for tomorrow, and the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness is the agency which those pioneers designed to effect their program. Protection of eyesight in industry and prevention of blindness from glaucoma, a disease which usually results in complete loss of sight unless treated by an eye physician, received special emphasis last year In the program of the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness, according to the annual report of its activities, announced by Mrs. Eleanor Brown Merrill, executive director.

"The war naturally tends to bring into sharp focus those activities which tie up with the war effort," the report explains, "but the continuous needs must be met. "Some of these needs are: The restoration of sight, where possible, the promotion of educational facilities for children whose eye conditions make it impossible for them to use ordinary school equipment, as well as improving the eye hygiene conditions in schools, offices, "At that time," Mr. Bigelow points out. "more than 25 per tenti of the children in schools for the blind were there because of one disease alone, ophthalmia neonato-1 rum; today the number of children' blind from that cause has been reduced by 75 per cent. "Then there was not one sight-saving class in the United States; today there are 629 classes for children whose eyesight is so seriously defective that they can not receive an education in the regular classrooms.

Then industry had only begun to use protective devices for eye safety; today such measures are preventing thousands of eye injuries at work." This society has 26.000 members, and donors. Its income in 1943 was $169,454 and expenditures $173.526, necessitating the use of $4072 from the reserve fund. Eight Spokane Social Clubs Share Old-Time Dance Revival 4 Fares for this expanded service are expected to be lower. Edward G. Budd, president of car manufacturing company bearing his name, predicts a reduction of transcontinental round-trip rates to about $75.

The present round-trip fare is $101, without tax. Even excursions to the 1939 New York world's fair were $90 for the Pacific-Atlantic round trip. Mr. Budd believes the one-way traveling time can be pared to 50 hours. With the usual Chicago lay-over, the lowest cross-country travel time is now 64 hours.

Railroads, however, must spend more for streamlined coaches after the war. It is estimated, for instance, that the New York Central, which wants 300, will have to pay $70,000 each for them instead of the pre-war cost. Firms such as Pullman, American Car Foundry, Budd, Pressed Steel Car and St. Louis Car are preparing for orders for as many as 15,000 sleepers and coaches, or about $1,000,000.000 worth at, an Fares for this expanded service G.

WHAT DOES PUBLIC WANT? Railroad men believe that the potential size of the traveling pub- 1)ic Is virtually unlimited. In re-'wet gard to air and bus competition, Mr.

Ragsdale of Budd says: "The railroads can develop as big a mar-)hone ket as they want through merided chandizing. And we have learned a lot about that subject in the last 10 years. The sales formula is sim- pie enough: Find out what people want and give it to themin an attractive package." Railroads are asking the public what it prefers. The Asso elation of American Railroads has engaged a Harvard professor to sur- vey opinions of travelers in Boston. The New York Central is now cor- relating passengers' answers to a list of 70 questions covering every- thing from the design of car door color or window handles frame paint.

With combinations of these light materials, car builders hope to shave another 10 per cent off the lightest pre-war weight.

Electronics is expected to pro- mote railroad safety in addition to its use in radios and telephone.

First Lieuttnant Ed 1 1 .4. 5 "Our Dumb 'Animals," official publication for the American Humane Education societY, has delved Into air travel history through Albert A. Rand to reveal that it was not man, but a sheep, a rooster and a duck who made the first air trip in history. Mr. Rand's article declares that they ascended in a balloon on September 19, 1783, in France.

A few months before two young men, Joseph and Jacques Montgollier, had conceived the idea of a lighter-than-air balloon. They got some large hags and built a fire under them. When released the bags ascended and floated away. Greatly elated at their discovery, they arranged for a public eNhibithen in the presence of the king and queen and thousands of spectators. This time they attached a cage to the balloon and in it put a sheep, a rooster and a duck.

They ascended 1500 feet and descended after eight minutes. 1 1 I0 4 so' i 1,, T.6.,34-1,..-,--tv,, :,,,4 Ato.i4,,, ":3 A 441,,,.44.... vi '1' i P7 ai 's 5 5.. 5:,..5 .4...,., 00 Om 0' le ,77 6 A. 4'4, 4 5, ,:.,.1.1144 I The rooster and duck behaved oflwell, but the sheep was frightened before the ascent began and kicked the duck, injuring him slightly.
