January Features For Ebell Members Are Planned As Pleasant Introduction to 1943 Events To Come With all Christmas activities, including special programs and a successful holiday bazaar, now concluded for Ebell members, they are turning their attention to events of the new year of 1943 and are anticipating a succession of interesting January programs. These will be launched Monday when members will share a special luncheon at 12:30 in the club house. With a program to follow that promises to be of far more than ordinary interest. For Miss Viola Hill, who was one of the national exchange prisoners from a Japanese concentration camp in Shanghai, will be guest speaker and music will be provided by Connie Everett, oboist. Mrs. L. C. Herron and Mrs. Harry I. Horn will be co-chairmen of the luncheon committee, and have asked that advance reservations be made through Mrs. C. F. Grim, telephone 2547. Mrs. Cortez Hoskins, Ebell president, will conduct the usual business meeting at 2 o'clock in the auditorium, after which the program features will be presented. Miss Hill, guest speaker, is a native of Orange county and spent her childhood days in Santa Ana. She entered the mission field and has spent many years in China where her work, especially with young girls, won her a high standing. After the outbreak of the war, her whereabouts remained unknown for many weeks, to the great anxiety of her mother, Mrs. G. P. Hill, and many other relatives in Orange county. SECTION EVENTS Following next Monday's general meeting, will come a succession of Monday events when different sections will present their programs. On January 11 Home and Garden section will have charge of the afternoon program featuring Mrs. Ida Deacon of Balboa, in a talk on gardens. Mrs. Charles Frantz is leader of the section, and Mrs. John Boege, assistant leader. Book section, of which Mrs. R. M. Glover and Mrs. Charles Hunt are leader and assistant leader, will be in charge of the program for January 18. A dessert course at 1:30 p.m. will be followed by introduction of Mrs. Arthur May, president of Ebell society of Santa Ana, who will present a play review of her own selection. On the final Monday of the month, January 25, Bible section members will preface their program with a 1:30 o'clock dessert course. Mrs. Fred Weisel and Mrs. George Paige are leader and assistant leader of the group. The program will be extremely appropriate to the January season, for Mrs. Albert L. Raymond will give a dramatic presentation of "Candles For the New Year." Tojo’s Expendables The Japs consider pilots and planes as “expendables.” Hence, the Jap pilot carries no parachute. He has no protective armor (except in the latest models, which do not afford adequate protection). His plane does not have self-sealing fuel tanks. His safety devices, radio equipment and instrumentation do not compare with those of American fighters. All these omissions mean savings in weight which can be translated into performance, but only at the expense of the pilot’s safety. Jap pilots are trained to fight and die. This is rejected by American fighting forces. Not alone for humanitarian or sentimental reasons, but because we know our way is more efficient. American pilots are superbly trained, trained to fight and keep on fighting. Thus, vitally important human and material resources are better conserved. Bar-room Baritones Should Note This Washington—From the Pacific to Tripoli United States marines must re-learn their world famous song. The fourth line has been rewritten to say “In the air, on land and sea.” Formerly it read “On the land and on the sea.” The change was ordered by Lt. Gen. Thomas Holcomb, Commandant of the United States Marine Corps. Corporal Survived B-26 Battle Crash Every once in a while, between his sessions of “dit-dit-dahhh” in School Building Eight, Cpl. Robert J. Griffith remembers the ripping, rending, grinding, bump of a crash landing in a B-26 in Alaska. Cpl. Griffith, now a radio instructor here, once served as a gunner and radioman on a B-26 that saw hot combat when the Japs made their first pass at the Aleutians. After many a battle his ship was forced down for a crash landing. Cpl. Griffith escaped miraculously with only a few nasty bruises. Griffith earned aerial gunner’s wings, but he was considered even more valuable as a radio instructor here for future pilots, bombardiers and navigators. He was chief operator for a while in an Alaskan army radio station. Cpl. Griffith met a girl in Alaska who was teaching roller skating. She was one of a pair of twins. They were married in Alaska, and her twin sister married a soldier named Ralph J. Atkinson, Jr., who now is a cadet here in Sqdn. 18. Both girls, the former Misses Wanda and Wanita Lindsey, are living in Santa Ana now. WAR IS A RACE This whole war effort boils down to a race in which the winner will be the side that can first drop the largest tonnage of well-directed bombs on the other’s vital sources of supply. Army’s First Plane And Cruised 125 The plane was a weird look she looked like a picket fence and she had a top speed of 40 miles of 125 miles. Orville Wright had hour and two minutes in deliver tests. He should have been able to keep her up—the built her. This was the first plane that ever served in the U.S. Army, and she arrived at Fort Myer, Va., on August 28, 1908. A year before an Aeronautical Section had been formed in the Signal Corps. The Army wasn’t quite sure what would do with planes, but it was perfectly willing to experiment. And experimentation must have been interesting, because in 1908 another Wright plane was purchased. LAND ON SKIDS These early planes, which were used occasionally in field maneuvers, had no wheels. Their landing gear was a pair of wooden skids. Their controls were complicated and, as they had no ailerons, their wings were warped. A 1400 pound weight dropped from a tower, launched them off flight, and their huge propeller rotating at 400 revolutions a minute, were scarcely sufficient to keep them in the air. There was very slight difference between their top speed and stalling speed and pilots were hard put at time to keep flying. Men who had been in the Army before the turn of the century were suspicious of the new development. The story is told that an early Army flyer who was forced down in a bay. He clung to his waterlogged craft, awaiting rescue. At last he saw a row boat coming toward him, manned by three GAR veterans in fut uniform. The rowboat went on right by the flyer. The GAR, it seemed did not believe in planes.

WAR IS A RACE This whole war effort boils down to a race in which the winner will be the side that can first drop the largest tonnage of well-directed bombs on the other's vital sources of supply. WE HAD ONE SQUADRON When the first World War burns over Europe the U. S. Army has one squadron of eight planes, and "Air Force" personnel of 16 officers and 77 enlisted men. France great things were happening in the air. Planes were nearly all of the tractor type while we still clung to the old fashioned pusher models. Machines guns were being synchronized fire through propellors, and some planes even mounted 37 mm cannon. Bombs were being dropped on cities from the huge German Gotha.

Love thy neighbor and do unto others as ye would have others do unto you. LIVING TOO FAST A fault-finding man, complaining about this and that, remarked that we had better give this country back to the Indians. His companion replied that htey wouldn't accept it—it was too much like the current street cars—standing room only. A STITCH IN TIME Under the new set-up, tires must be checked every 60 days. Everybody must comply, but it would be a good plan to give the rubber the once over pretty frequently anyway. You'd hate to have a blowout on the road and have to walk home—or camp out for the night.
