THE CLEARING HOUSE
"It was wonderful. I guess I ran the
whole plane for a minute."
So declared Orville Wright after a
flight in the co-pilot's seat of the new
super-liner, the Constellation. This
plane recently set a new cross-country
time record.
The thrill of handling the "whole
plane for a minute" must have taken
Mr. Wright back in memories to that
day in December, 1903, on the dismal
sands of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina,
when he and his brother Wilbur suc-
ceeded in making *.heir plane fly "for
a minute--59 seconds to be exact.

I had turned out the fire under the
coffee, had just finished cooking
breakfast when thru my front door
walked Cpl. Stevenson just as uncon-

day morning. 1 wish I could tell you
all she had to say abont the life of
a Wac at Ft. Leonard Wood, Me. She
thinks, as do the other girls there,
that the Wac organization is the finest
of them all. The girls like their trim
uniforms and do not want them
changed despite all agitations to the
contrary. The food is good but of
course is not served on Haviland.

bride of a'~nonth or so, was sudden-

her husband's where abouts but wrote
him on her arrival. A short time later
one of the girls called to her to come
downstairs to answer the phone. In-
stead of a phone call she found her
husband waiting at the foot of the
stairs. He was stationed just 14 miles

Much mail has come to my desk
the past week, and among a few let-
ters, has come complaints ill regard
to Avalon' sandy beaches. They say:
Avalon beaches are not what they
were in days past. Since 1941 they
have not had :he proper attention,
they have not been raked, cleaned
ia any way shape or manner. The
dogs run wild through the sands
which leave it messy. These summer
days it is hard to find a very clean
spo,t to lo11. The storms also have
thrown up many unsightly things
As I am not a beach loller, and hard-
ly think it my duty to inspect the
sands, but what you folks say, it seems
to be true. There may be "something

able.
