Horace Mann P.-T.A. Installs Officers At Special Program Installation of new officers of Horace Mann P.-T.A. held yesterday afternoon in the school auditorium, was preceded by an entertaining program of music, a playlet and a talk. One of the impressive features of opening exercises was the half minute of silent prayer for the men on the battle fronts. Miss Kathryn Smith's little first grad pupils staged a clever playlet, "How the Sandman Lost His Sand," featuring songs and choral readings. Master Jimmy Pearson delighted the audience with his piano solos. Mrs. E. T. Bradley, program chairman, introduced Mrs. Richard Roehm whose talk on "Measuring Your Vitamins by the Yardstick," was illustrated by a food demonstration using Victory Garden vegetables in well-balanced menus, graded for their vitamin value. Mrs. John P. Mary in her final session as association president, Train 62,000 As Work Supervisors Since August 1942 more than 62,000 work supervisors have received job instructor training in the Army Service Forces program to develop competent supervisors and foremen for its civilian personnel, the War department announced, and within the next three months 15,000 additional supervisors will receive the training. The Job Instructor Program, a 10-hour course of intensive instruction in how to teach a worker his new job, was developed for use in war production plants by the Training Within Industry Service of the War Manpower Commission. As a result of this training the time ordinarily consumed in "breaking in" an employee has been sharply reduced and, owing to the improvement in the instructing skill of supervisors and foremen, a marked increase has also followed in the individual worker's quality of workmanship and amount of production. Named three members to assist Rudolph Boysen in his volunteer duties as inspector of school Victory Gardens. Those named were Mesdames Francis Mattox, Lawrence Mills and John Mary. Annual reports were given to wind up the association year before Mrs. Harold Harling a past president, installed the new officers. They were Mrs. L. A. LouKota, president; Mrs. Richard Roehm, vice-president; Mrs. Kenneth D. Figgins, secretary; Mrs. Henry Schneider treasurer; Mrs. Carl Parachute S.A. Flying While Glenn Martin was all flying contraption, two other planes in Santa Ana. They did old cannery building which still stands on east First street, beside the railroad tracks. These two were Floyd Smith and Frank Shaw. Smith was the man who later invented the modern safety parachute, and now heads a huge parachute manufacturing plant in the east. Shaw also has turned to parachute making in San Diego. Shaw's daughter is a civilian employee on the air base. Smith and Shaw started out, like Martin, as plane builders, but soon branched off into parachuting. Some of the first leaps from an airplane were made here in Orange county, by these two men. FUNNY TUMBLERS The two had been associated in a theatrical act in vaudeville together, under the names of Sylvester Smith and Densel Shaw. They had a humorous tumbling and acrobatic act, and this training stood them in good stead when they started experimenting with early parachutes. The first plane was built after Martin's was already flying, but it was radically different in design. Martin's plane was the push type, with the propeller behind the aviator. Smith and Shaw, in huddle with their mechanics and assistants, decided to put the propeller out in front.

In addition to the Motor Bus Rest fort in many other ways; carrying providing vital service to many war tremendous new force for victory the nation in peace and now is extending Mirachute Prophet A. Flying Pioneer The Glenn Martin was alarming Orange county with his contraption, two other young men were busy building on Santa Ana. They did their construction work in an every building which still ran east First street, beside road tracks. Two were Floyd Smith and Shaw. Smith was the no later invented the safety parachute, and now huge parachute manufacturer in the east. Shaw returned to parachute maker Diego. Shaw's daughter civilian employee on the ground Shaw started out, like was plane builders, but soon fell off into parachuting. The first leaps from an airplane made here in Orlando, by these two men. TUMBLERS Two had been associated in the actual act in vaudeville to under the names of Mr Smith and Densel Shaw. Had a humorous tumbling robotic act, and this trained them in good stead when started experimenting with miracles. First plane was built after it was already flying, but it actually different in design. The plane was the pusher with the propeller behind it. Smith and Shaw, in a with their mechanics and dies, decided to put the plane out in front. This type of plane was an innovation at that time, and came to be known as the "tractor" type. Trial flight of this queer Smith-Shaw bird caused much consternation among Santa Ana's citizens and farmers. They were accustomed to seeing Martin's plane struggling around with the propellers in back, and when Smith and Shaw came in for a landing most people thought it was that eccentric Martin boy landing his plane backwards! Smith and Shaw had the usual humiliating experience of airplane builders of that day. They did their construction work indoors, and then when they were ready to fly they discovered that the doors were not big enough to get the plane out. They had to tear out the walls of the cannery to free their plane. This was not quite as bad as Martin, however, who had to wreck the front end of a church in order to move his plane out of doors. First landing for Smith and Shaw was made on the site of the present Santa Ana high school. This may be a historic spot, possibly the site of the landing of the first tractor type plane in this country. Smith's greatest contribution to aviation, however, lies in the parachute he invented. This program for the distribution of books to officially identified prisoners of war and civilian internees in enemy-occupied countries has been set up by seven government agencies and the Red Cross. The plan also provides for reception of books by prisoners in United States internment camps. Restrictions on sending V-mail to these prisoners and internees were announced. The book distribution program, superseding all previous regulations, was drawn up by the Office of Censorship and approved by the Board of Economic Warfare. Office of the Provost-Marshal General, Post Office department, Naval Intelligence, Military Intelligence, the State department and the Red Cross. Regulations contain an official list of condemned subject material as different as lithography and politics. Since only new books may be sent directly to individuals, the sender gives the publisher or bookseller the prisoner's name, address and number. The publisher wraps and addresses the books, forwards it to the Office of Censorship's New York station where it is checked for conformity to the regulations and for security reasons. If approved the book is mailed directly to the prisoner. Only one package of 5 pounds can be sent every 30 days. Enemy censorship authorities undoubtedly examine the book thoroughly to see that it contains no objectionable material. It is how much is a dead Jake days? Lt Gen Millard F. Harrison the South Pacific area, has Collins that they are not wired the tariff of eight bullets head. Brigadier Gen Allison J. Nett, writing for Gen Harmon, addressed the following correspondence to Gen Collins: "1. It has come to the attention of this headquarters, officially, that one of your commanders, Major Gen Joseph Collins, personally expended rounds of 30 calibre ammunition for a net return of only one sniper. This is considered excessive expenditure of ammunition by a least 6 rounds, particularly in view of Gen Collins previous record as an ex-rifleman. Furthermore, it understood that considerable age to a cocoanut tree resists from his firing. This may develop into a claim against government." "2. In the future, it is deemed that major generals of your command be limited to two round."

Holders of "B" and "C" gasoline ration coupons have been informed that they may renew them now by mail instead of appearing personnally before their local war price and rationing boards. The same rule will apply to non-highway uses of gasoline, such as for farm machinery and industrial equipment. Food ration cards are not a development of the twentieth century. They were used in Athens about 490 B.C. but they were far more inconvenient than those of today. For they were marble slabs which had to be presented in person in order to get food. capacities will be Wilbert Bonney and the Misses Adah Louise Wilcox, Doris Robbins, Mary McPherson and W. Ethel Campbell. Glee clubs participating and their directors are Benjamin Franklin, Miss Dorothy Doring; Broadway, Miss Gertrude Anderson; Lincoln, Miss Mabel Barnes; Washington, Miss Betty Holland; La Palma, Miss Leonora Clark, and Horace Mann, Miss Betty Hardman.

Teachers serving as speech critics, score keepers and in similar Motor Bus Reserve in training Motor Bus Reserve Driver In case of an emergency requiring mass troop transport to threatened points on the Pacific Coast, the Motor Bus Reserve would spring into action as an auxiliary of the regular army. Fleets of swift, streamlined motor buses, operated personnel already trained in troop transport, would be immediately available to thousands of soldiers quickly and efficiently. Pacific Greyhound Lines has organized a number of Motor Bus Reserve units to serve the important military and population centers of the Coast. A unit is housed of 55 drivers and officers, 24 buses, 3 reserve buses, a maintenance consisting of 2 light trucks, a wrecker, a tank truck for reserve fuel and automobiles for the officers and 2 motorcycles for runners. Each unit pro- seats for an infantry battalion. The men volunteer their services and Greyhound furnishes the buses without charge to the Army for training. Addition to the Motor Bus Reserve, buses are contributing to the war effort in many other ways; carrying military men to and from camps and bases, providing vital service to many war production plants. In fact, the motor bus is a tremendous new force for victory that grew up after World War I to serve the nation at war.

At Gen Millard F. Harmon, commanding Army Forces in South Pacific area, has informed Major Gen J. L. (Joe) that they are not worth starff of eight bullets per each mission—one sighting-shot and one shot for record. No additional 30 calibre ammunition is authorized for further instruction of General Collins. Any difficulty encountered in complying with the above will be overcome by reducing the range. "For the Commanding General: (unofficial) Allison J. Barnett Brigadier General, G.S.C. Chief of Staff." Gen. Collins sent the following reply to General Barnett: Dear Al, "It was just a question of old age, failing eyesight, and buck fever. When Bill McCulloch (Col William A. McCulloch, Washington, D. C.) and I went over the field right after our troops had taken the "Horse's Neck," we found my Jap pitched forward on his face alongside the lump of coral where I had spotted him with my glasses." Imagine my chagrin when we examined him to find that only the last of my well-aimed shots had found a vital spot. A careful checkup revealed that the first round nicked his trigger finger and prevented his returning the fire. The second tore off his cartridge belt. The third grazed his left eyebrow and the fourth splashed dirt in his face. I must not have squeezed off the fifth because it only bit off a chunk of coral close to his head. The sixth was also a trifle wild but did carry away the big toe of his right foot. By this time my buck fever had evidently calmed down for the seventh shot tore off an ear. And then, believe it or not, the eighth round, a silver bullet which I had been carrying for some time for just such an occasion, plunked him squarely between the eyes. Just about that time in the action, a burst of Jap machine gun fire splashed around us... When I came to, I found that I had lowered the level of the fox hole I was in by a full seven feet." Sincerely yours, Joe Collins." Men are dying for the Four Freedoms. The least we can do here at home is to buy War Bonds—10% for War Bonds, every pay day.
