ROTARY WHEEL
by SAM WOODS
“If you go through Athens, be '
sure to Vvisit their Service Cen- |
ter,” servicemen say of the Ath-|
ens Recreation Center to otheri
traveling servicemen, Miss Mag- |
dalen Glenn, known as “the |
Mother of the Service Center,’
told Rotarinas at the regular'
luncheon program Wednesday. |
The program on Athens’ pluy-i
grounds and recreation center]
vi;as arranged by W. H. Benspn,l
chairman of the city recreation
committee. Other guests taking |
part in tihe program were Misses |
Martha Whitehead and Barbara |
Jenkins. |
‘Qver two gallons of syrup are'’
qpnsumed every Sunday morniqg
when the servicemen cook their
own breakfast at the Center, the
favorite meal being flap-jacks
and syrup. Butl that is oniy one
of many forms of recreation
ywided by the Recreation Cen
ter which has proven its worth
both to visiting servicemen and
to the cadets of the Pre-Flight
School. Every Saturday night the
Center sponsors a dance for serv
ice personnel at which they may
dance with Athens girls holding
membership cards.
: Many Facilities
Throughout the building are
located recreation facilities—
pianos; pool tables, shower baths,
dance floor, comfortable chairs,
reading and writing tables, mag
azines, card and checker equip
ment, ping-pong tbales, and even
complete kitchen facilities.
Adding to the endless variéty
in the building are shuffle
boards and tennis courts in the
yard; as well as an out-door
dance floor. Here at this well
equipped Center the servicemen
find apartments and houses for
their wives and families; the
wives find jobs; and the clubs of
officers’ wives and enlisted men’s
wives meet. Back ° through the
grapevine come daily reports that
the servicemen consider the Ath
ens Service Center one of the
finest anywhere.
" The nine city playgrounds, six
white and three colored, provide
a place for recreation for the
th of Athens. They sponsor
‘gpecial programs, such as the
Vagation Bible School conducted
xia]aarbara Jenkins at ‘the Lyn
jon House, and the musical pro
ms under the direction of
fixt‘ha‘ Whitehead.
i Huggins Presides
¢ At the meeting, President Per
¢y Huggins presided fdr the first
flfi during his administration,
and sent ouf a call for a lost Ro
tary flag and for song books,
which he hopes will be returned

Civitan Club Of Winferville Hears
Talk On Banking By J. 5. Wolfe, Jr.
WINTERVILLE, Ga.—J. Smiley
Wolfe, jr., assistant vice president
of the Citizens & Southern Nat-,
ional Bank in Athens, was the!
featured speaker before Winter
ville Civitans Wednesday night,
who talked on banks and their
place in the community.
The meeting was held in the
Vocational building and serving
the delightful dinner was Mr. and
Mrs. L. H. Harris, Mr. and Mrs,
Ral%h Edwards, Mr. and Mrs. H.
E. Porterfield and Miss Frankie
Green.
At the next meeting the meal
will be in charge of Spurgeon
Chandler, Marvin Johnson ' and
Hugh Towns. 3
Memorial Drive ¢
During the course of the meet
ing Mr. Towns said that prospects
of Winterville having a Memorial
Drive are practically certain and
that when the roadway is built,
the plan is to line it with lovely
‘shrubs.
He also said that money to erect
a huge board which will carry
the names of all sérvice men and
women in the community, has
'been raised. There will be some
234 names on the board, he said.
Mr. Wolfe was presented by
Howard Parrish and the speaker
congratulated Winterville on form
ing the Civitan Club, saying that
such a,club is a community builder
lan_d that he interests of the com
munity are not confined to Win
terville alone, but extend to Ath
ens also, since.these interests are
interlocking to a great degree.
Mr. Wolfe also touched on town
planning, saying that the towns
which plan and then act on the
plans are bound to be benefitted
more than those which do not fol
lor this method.
The speaker stated that since
1932 no banks in this nation have
failed, and in fact, most of them
have made progress. He said
methods of doing business by the
banks have been improved; that
they have studied and acted on the
needs of the people, and many
even have field representatives
working closer with the people.
' Basic Principles
Fundamental l;;{lnciples of bank
ing, he said, include safety for
money deposited; responsibility for
a return on investments, and the
credit needs of a community. He
said that 95 per cent of all money
transactions are now settled by
checks, and pointed out that the
small business man, who conducts
his business in a business way and
who is reliable, has better chances
for getting a bank loan than in
the olden days. He also said this
man’s chances are better for the
loan being extended over a period
of years, rather than just 2 short
loax; as has been customary in the
past.
However, on our return to
Athens and we again mentioned
the subject of loans, Mr. Wolfe
smilingly, but promptly, changed
the conversation to another topic.

STUFFED SHIRT PILOT
VII.
It always seemed strange to me
that the Army, with its super
high standards for the Air Corps
and the rigorous training it puts
its pilots through, should 'at the
same time leave so little respon
sibility to the pilots in the mat
ter of when they should fly and
when they shouldn’t. We boys in
the C. N. A. C. flew thousands of
tons of material across the Him
alayas during 10-day and some
times even two-week periods
when not a single Army plane
was allowed to get off the
ground.
If that would seem to reflect
more courage and daring on the
part of C. N. A, C. civilian pilots
than upon Air Force personnel, it
should not. The Army pilots
themselves would have flown in
any kind of weather, and as the
Army Ferry Command developed
alongside the C. N. A. C. on the
route between Kumming and
Dinjan, the red tape began to thin
out a little and the pilots were
given more leeway. But for many
months during the time I worked
for C. N. A. C. our boys would be
flying regular schedules across
the mountains while Army regu
lations were Kkeeping scores of
planes—lloaded and ready—stand
ing on .the fog-shrouded fields.
Tony Mercede took up a spirit
ed defense of the Army every
time Gingiss or I or others in the
C. N. A. C. started to criticize it
for its panty-waist flying regula
tions.
“Listen, jerks,” he said one
day. “You guys are getting paid
big dough for doing your job;
these kids in the Army are get
ting regular Army flyer's pay.
You can quit your jobs, these
kids can’t. The Army has a lot
more authority over its boys than
C. N. A. C. has over you—but it
has a bigger obligation, too.”
To some extent Tony was
rgiht; but he was all wrong on
that matter of the. money we
were making. He was not the
first and by no means the last to
accuse C. N. A. C, pilots and
even the men in the A. T. A. in
England of being mercenaries,
but neither he nor others of his
viewpoint considered our side of

it. Virtually all of us “mercenar
ies” had paid for our flying edu
cation dut of our own pockets—
and almost 100 percent of the
Army pilots had been given their
training at government expense.
We had investments in our fly
ing ability; they did not. But I
didn’t want to go into all that
again. Instead 1 said: “Wait a
minute, Tony. Do you remember
back in 1933 when the Army took
over the airmail routes in the
States? Remember how many
planes and pilots were lost in
that little misadventure? And do
you know why? "It was because
the Army didn’t know a third as
much-about blind flying as com
mercial pilots did. . . . And it’s
the same thing over here right
now. There are a lot of stuffed
shirts in the Army-—even in the
Air Force—and they’re so cocky
about their rank and their mili
tary dignity that they think they
know everything worth knowing
about flying . . .”
And then I told Tony and Gin
giss and Skippy and a couple of
the other boys gathered around
about a little incident I had play
ed a part in a short time before.
When I left Dinjan one morn
ing with a planeload of Chinese
money—bdled in big tin contain
ers and amounting to over a
million dollars Chinese — there
were eight Ameriean and British
Army officers at the field. Four
of them had names that regularly
made the headlines in American
newspapers;. the other four were
top-ranking colonels ‘and briga
dier generals. They had come in
from Calcutta in a big Flying
Fortress piloted by an extremely
self-satisfied and cocky little col
onel.
C. N. A. C’s field office was
alongside the west runway at
Dinjan, and while I was waiting
for one of our usual weather re
ports (“Ceiling unknown; visibil
ity limited”) I saw the Little
Colonel standing out in front of
his B-17 with a map in his
hands.
‘““Morning; Colonel,” I said.
“Where you bound — over the
Hump or back west?”
“Eh?” the fellow said, looking
up rather foggily. “Why, ah—
we're going to Kunming. The
ship’s being refueled.”
“It's been pretty rough on the
north route the last few days,” I
offered. “The ice is bad. South
route’s not bad for weather, but
the Zeros have been thick as flies
the last week.”
The Little Colonel looked at me
as if to say he hadn’t asked for
a speech, so I started to move
away. But then I remembered
those bigwigs I had seen come ir
with him on the B-17. So I went
back to him and said, “I'm going
over myself in a few minutes.
I'll wait if you like and lead the
way. I know the routes pretty
well.”
The Little Colonel’'s eyebrows
popped up until they almost dis
appeared under his cap. If I had
been a junior officer in the Army
I think- he would have organized
a court martial right on the spot.
He waited until his blood pres
sure subsided a little, then smiled
indulgently and said, “Thank you,
con, but I daresay I'll get along
all right.” Then he turned and
strode off.
My plane was ready a little
while later, and I lit out for Kun
ming with a million-dollar pay
roll for the Chinese Army. The
Little Colonei was still puzzling
over his map as my C-53 thun
dered down the runway.
