How Part of Boy
Scoot Campaigii
In step with toda>''s dramatic air
age, the Boy Scouts of America has
opened the doors of air training, short
of flight, to any and every Scout in
the United States. The program con
sists of two parts—Air Scout Candi
date (Merit ^dges for the Scouts un-
dei; 15 years of age in any Troop, or
as Lione Scouts) and the four ranks of
the more advanced Air Scout Pro-
r Stain for the Senior Scouts (15 years
of age and over.)
LL Gen. H. H. Arnold, chief of
the United States Army Air Forces,
had this to say about the new pro
gram; “To know that the Boy Scouts
of America are making available
program of Air Training is good news
to us of the Army Air Corps. I, per
sonally, congratulate you Scouts on
living in this period of progress and
in being in step with it”
Rear Admiral J. H. Towers, U. S.
Navy and other high officers in both
tranches of the armed forces were
highly pleased. Admiral Towers in
his r«narks said, “Do not feel that
I .’cause you may now be too young
to be a pilot or a member of a ground
c ew you have no part in this pro-
g am. The field of preparation has
m ny fronts. ' The demands for
knowledge and skill in aviation are
tesion. Begin now. Read aviation.
St' dy it. Model plane building is a
so'-nd foundation. Learn to disting-
ui'^h types, friends and en;my. Re-
rj' Tiber your motto—prepare for any
emergency.”
S nee flight is under govern-
mrnt sui»rvision and licensing, and
dll to the great co.'ts and neces.sary
sa'^'^uards, it is desirable at the pres
ent time to l°ave the flight entirely
to ^ich auspices. The program is
sho;t of flight because it is preparing
youth to receive flight training. To
that end, it leads directly up to Ci-
vili-n Pilot Training or other govern
ment flight inst; uelions, or up to more
intersive ground serv ce as desired.

Hoke County families seeking Gov
ernment Allowance through their
sons in the Army will save a lot of
time and trouble by remembering the
following facts:
Allowance can be had only through
the first four grades. Private, Private
First Class, Corporal and Sergeant,
3d ,Class.
There are two classes of allowances,
“A” and “B.”
Class “A” includes wife, child, step
child, adopted child and illegitimate
child, provided the father has ac
knowledged the child as his. Also
a divorced wife who is receiving
alimony. ■
Class “B” includes father and
mother, grandfather and grandmoth
er. father and mother through adpp-
'.lor., brother, sister, half-brother and
half-sister, and brother and sister
through adoption.
Class “A” allowances are compul
sory and will be paid irrespective of
the economic conditions of the family, j
Dependency does not have to be es-j
tablished in this class. '
Class “B” allowances are voluntary
and are paid only after dependency
has been established by affidavits,
that is, the soldier must agree for the
.\rmy to deduct $22.00 per month
from his salary, and his parents, by
notarized statements, must show the
extent of their need. This statement
.should prove that they are parents of
soldier in question and that they need
financial help from him. These
statements should be sent to the son
at once so he can make application
for allowance for his parents. If son

It is expected that the announce

the formation of several Air Scoutf

future, as much interest was manifest
from the time it was announced sev-

Many soldiers and their parents

no report has been made back home
on their Government Insurance.
Some have even dropped their in

insurance as rapidly as possible.
Scouts Take Part in
Scrap Campaign
HAVE YOU HEGtStEHED
A railway tanks car can haul only
the fuel oil needed to heat four homes
for a year.
Cape Fear Council Boy Scouts have
collected 151,350 pounds of scrap me
tal and turned it into the junk
dealers, it was announced by Etevid
L. Liles, Scout Exeentive. Practically
the entire amount was collected and
carried by hand or improvised carts
to salvage stations and hauled from
there to the junk yard by trucks
furnished mainly by city and county
commissioners. The drive will be
continued until every available piece
of scrap has been picked up and
started on the way to the foundries.
The Scouts in Wilmington will begin
this week to dismount several iron
fences around plots in Oakdale Cem
etery, which were recently donated
to the salvage drive.
