ILLINOIS GETS 20 PENSACOLA
The two are stationed at Ening- Largest Primary Training '
Camp Being Rushed
At Glenview.
GLENVIEW, Ill, June 2 (U, PJ, —On a broad, inland plain 10 miles from Lake Michigan, the U, 8. naval reserve has established its largest primary training camp for the airmen of the sea. The navy calls it “another Pensacola” because its task will be to do most of the job previously done at the great Florida air base. Hangars, barracks and runways have been installed with tremendous speed. Plans drawn in April when congress made available an $8,000,000 appropriation are sched= uled to be completed in September. When it is finished, Glenview will ronsist of the equivalent of 125 miles of 20-foot paved runways on 1000 acres of field.
Carrier Landing Taught
By summer, the navy expects to give its fliers training in carrier landings on a converted pleasure
Central railroad at Beech Grove poat on Lake Michigan, the seeland lived with his sister, Mrs. Hazel! andbee.
Already hundreds of young aire men are receiving training. Their ranks have been swelled by recent rulings lowering the educational and age requirements. Today, an 18-year-old boy with a high school can enlist for naval
wings.
