WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF AN AIR RAID

IF YOU FrnD AN UNEXPLODJ;:D BOMB. PICll: IT UP Al'd> SHA!CE l'J' - TFIJi: FIRING P:IN .MAY BE. STUCK.

J. As soon :\$. bombs start dropping, run like hell. {lt does.n't matter where.--as long as you nm like hell.)

l. Wear track shc:Je$ if po$$ible-. if the p.eop,le fo front M you are slow, yoe w0n't have any trouble gett'mg over them.

2. Take advantage of any opportuni.fy affori:led you wllm iair raid sirens sbund the <1-ttack warni.ng. For example:

A, In a bakery, grab some pie, o~ i:;ake. B . . In a taveru, grab. a blond and a hP~e.

3. J.f you find an unex.pectedly unexploded b o m b, ahvays pi€k it up and shake it-fhe firi.ng piri may be stuck.

4. If an incendiary bomb is found burning in a building, throw gasoline on it. You 're unable to pµt it o.ut anyhow, se you might as well have a little fun.

A. If no gasoline' is available, th.row a buekJ:t of watet on it and lie down- you're dead.

B. Th.e ptoptrties of the bomb free the b,ydrog<m .from. the water, causing rather Fapid com­bustion.. (In fact it will explode with a Helluva. crash!)

) .. Always get ex.cited and holler bloody ll)'uroer! It will add to the fun and confusion and «are the 'little kiddies.

6. Drink heavily, ea~ enions, fo:nburger clieese, et_c., before enter-· ing a crowded a'ir raid sheltet.

DODOS

Parting Thoughts Of An Upperclassman

BY WALLACE B. BL.ACK

Double time yqu dod<>'l- Pop to! And get in line; Don't try and ask the reason- and tl\ere tSJ>'t any rhyme. Good gosh but you look raunchy, rack those shoulders back: Shut your mouth, you mister! Don't ever make a crack. Get in a big one, mister , lift that chest up high - · In the future when you get in a brace, don't ask the rea.son why.

"Wliat's a dodo?" you ask us. You thought it was a bird. But to us a dodo's a dumb Cadet who shouldn't say a. word. Now a dodo may be human-thoughtful, kinc:I and gentle, But any reaemblance between him and us is purely coincidental. When cadets first come to Harman, they're the pride of Kelly's Hill, Resplendent In "pinks" and blouses, and a. cocky Cadet wm. we greet them with smiling welcomea, just outalde the gate, But once they step across that cha.in, they really know their fate.

Rack It back you, mister! Double time! And How! Whether you really know it or not, you're in the army now. Fall in on the double you, mJsters. Pop to, and grab a line. And when you fintsb a.t Harman, you'll really be looking tine.

Now dodos at Harman must work, their tasks are '!"t a few, Some of their daily duties I now will tell to you. They really love their ground school-and calisthenics too, And nothing beats their study hours aa true learning they pur.sue. Each morning sharp a.t five forty-five, they fall out of bed and shout­"Oh gGod.y men, It's reveille, come on let's hurry out!" And they cheerfully to breakfast go, their fun has just begun-They sit 1n a brace for an hour Its seems, 'till they're cross-eyed, du!, and du.mb. From there they double-time to drill, their ccunteno.nces gleaming, They march at ease under a nlee warm aun tha.t down on them Is beaming. . . . . And so they hurry through the day until that hated time, Wben they struggle into the flying suits and go to ye olde flight line. They talk to their Instructors for a little while and then go out to • ship, They start one up-head Into the wind, and go out for a little trip. Now some can take It right in stride, learn to tly rjght now, But others get 1"'3t, their stomacha turn loops, and they "flash their hash" &11d how! But one and all they love It (no matter what I eay), They can hardly wait 'til time rolls round to go up in the blue eaeh day.

So back to the barracks they slowly go, to uppercla.$8men'• waiting arm.o. To spend the rest of the n.ight ehowing ott their clever - charma. But to you, Mr. Dodo, l give thia advice, all really lan't bad, Because our treatment of dodo.e ta j\lst a pasalng fad. Time fli~a by in a hurry, and we will IOOft be JOne, And then to your 1nn·p~ and joy, you wUl (Ind your day will dawn. So, Mr. Dodo. we say to you, now tha.t we a.re leaving, Be thankful !or lhia, trom now on out you'll be glvlng--not recelv!JI&"

"TILL WE MEET AGAIN---"

Happy Landings!

THE BUSINESS OF BETNG CADETS and subsequently flying officers

of the Army Air Corps is exacting and not infrequently exasperating

work. It is no wonder, therefore, that some of our group have already

be?n found wanting in some phase of abilities necessary for the making

of good military pilots, and likewise that others of us will follow that same

path hf..fore that day when the coveted gold bars and wings will adorn

the uniforms of Class 42-F .

However, practically all of the men who have been and will be dis­

missed from flight training, will immediately be put into training for other

types of military aeronautical work: bombardiering, navigation, armaments,

photography, communications.

So, those of us who are fortunate enough to one day receive our

commissions and wings will in the future lean heavily on these same men

who will be the leaders in other phases of Air Corps work. It wen 't be

long until we'll once ag;iin be taking off and flying together toward that

common goal for which all of us are giving our best in whatever field we

are best qualified and needed.

"

(With Apologies to Kipling) lf you can pass your phy~ical whim ~en about you

Are failing theirs, and iustly envymg you; If you can become a potential pilot

And thank your lucky stars that you got through; If you can bend your nerve and brain and sinew

To be a flyer of whom the world is proud, And live among the rich, the high, and lowly,

And yet not think yourself above the crowd:

If you can pass the many auto show-rooms And with your old jalopy be content,

If you can face the many hours of boredom, And nevet let your: mind get warped nor bent;

If you can meet the many lovely ladies And always act as only real men do,

Or face temptations, and forego some pleasure.; Because your Uncle Sam depends on you;

If you can stick-despite your many duties, And not grow sour when things don't go your way,

If you can master all the manly virtures, And feel that you are learning every day;

If you are sure you know the plane you 're flying From nose to rudder, just like you know your map,

And fly the beam, although you think it's lying, And.never have a cause your course to doubt;

If you can learn the art of nobly living Among the men with whom you have to work,

And listen when others their advice are .giving And never try to dodge nor yet to shirk;

If you can wear the bars pinned on your shoulders And wear the·wings that you have proudly won,

And be a man and still m.aintain your virture, You'll be an Ace of whom we're proud, my soo.
