Race May Get 15 Girl Flyers

Macdougalls find themselves numbered among the' successful pioneers of the western empire, not because of their heroism or industry, but because chance laid success in their laps.

WASHINGTON, (ANP) the plans of the Civil Aeronautic authority follow the blue prints laid down for operation, there will be about 15 young women of color in this United States around about June who will have to their credit .about 35 hours of actual flying, and who from then on will proceed to rqake life completely unbearable for some un-

suspecting male.

Under the administration plans, 10 percent of the students is the quota allowed ambitious females. With five schools named for the , courses, and approximately 30 students allowed for each school, this means that 27 males will be tormented by three querulous, garrulous girls. And the sum to-

tal will be 15.

Armed with parachute and powderpuff, these valiants will clamber into the cockpit of some plane and before the instructor can catch his breath, there will be a succession of “oohs,” ahs” and shrieks which beggar description

and defy spelling.

And will that Instructor be an unhappy person for the first part of toe flight! But that won’t be anything to what he will be when they start downward and make a hoped for three point landing.
