The accurate navigation of American airmen picking their way to a speck no- bigger than a pinhead on the map of the Pacific, the skill of the American pilots and perfect performance of American built engines are gratifying to Americans and should be a warning to any nation harboring foolish pl ns for attacking the United States now or later.

Did Chancellor Hit- ' >er ever think of that? Will he be sorry on the judgment day that he did not think of it? Why, in his opinion, did divine wisdom select a Jewish girl to be the mother of Christ?

$9,000 WILL BE SPENT ON NEW AIRPORT I 66 Men to be Employed On Wawasee Airport by Government. 1 Syracuse was one of the 20 points in ine state to have an airport building j project approved under the CWA. According to Mr. Bresnahan of Pierceton, in charge of the federal employment bureau in Warsaw, he . eceived yesterday instructions by | mail from Indianapolis that the government will furnish $9,000 to pay . r ih aerial and labor in building the project. &»r. ai.d Mrs. Bernard Cuniff of a he bpink-W aua.-ee ho.el were at the lake last week arranging for leasing I nd for this airport. The hotel owns _2 ucies, and Wmo.e acres adjoin- j ng this property have been leased. Uns land, just north of the B. and IJ. railroad tracks, and east of the highw.y le ding from the hotel 1 hrough the golf course is owned by I lasper Grimes and his daughter, j e rl Grimes. Wherever the governIment decides to build tn airport, the ' I nd must be furnished for the proect.

Mr. Bolyard operated the seaplane on Wawasee, just before the ■ «>se of the season last September. Mr brosnahan stated yesterdayhat he understood Mr. Bolyard would be the engineer in charge of laying out this airport, and that 66 men would be employed. Mrs. Cuniff asked Mr. Bresnahan f men could be transferred from ounly work, so that work on the airM»rt would commence Friday this week, tut Mr. Brosn; han stated that le h. d written to Indianapolis ask-1 mg if 66 men could be employed' •. addition to these who have been’ <>>rking on various projects. | The airport being located near) -yracuse on Wawasee is due to then efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Cuniff, and hey tried to have it included in the contract that only local labor would i oe employed there. ; | The government is building 2,000 f these smaller airports over the i United States, and expects to assist ’ Manufacturers of airplanes to pro ■■ luce small planes to be/sold fdr ; about S6OO. It is pointed out the first step necessary to encourage the purchase of -uch planes, is the building of airports. i _. , 1 The airports and manufacturers jof olanes are an asset to plans for na- I tionai defense cheaper than the cost if battleship building.'

H this township, there will be but seven people with whom a voter can legiis.er. The town clerk and township assessor are by their office, : on«U with whom vote.s may register.

MENTONE WINNER 1 BY 36-13 SCORE Syracuse Boys Held Visitors to One Point Lead at End of Half; But Then-—— Mentone’s High School Basketball team won from the Syracuse team 36 to 13, in the local school gym, Friday evening. There is Tittle else to be written about the game, as the score tells the story, except that the difference between the two scores would have been greater if Mentone had been more fortunate in scoring the basket shots during the first half. The score at the end of the half was 9 to 8 for the visitors. The Mentone team was taller, faster and more clever than the home team. They advanced the ball towards their basket with such ease that the Syracuse players might as well not have been on the floor, at times. Syracuse, on the other hand, had to resort to desperately long shots at the basket, for only occasionally could a player break through Mentone’s defense for a shot near the basket. And the long shots missed. Syracuse scored the five free throw opportunities of the game. Two sets of brothers played on the Mentone team, one set being twins, K. Paulus and R. Paulus were the twins playing forwards; G. Shirey played guard and W. Shirey played center part of the time. The Mentone coach was not present at the game, scouting the Beaver Dam game that evening. Roberts of Culver was referee. This is the third time this season that he has officiated here.
