MUST GIVE ALL---no matter what risks." An American Trench
"The British Isles are the first trench of American free government," he continued. "If Britain goes down I'd stake my life that within five years and maybe three years a Nazi dictatorship will occupy Washington, D.C. set there by supposed Americans."
Stowe backed this statement by proving that if Germany defeats Britain, the American need not worry about mass invasion by Hitler and his troops.
Warns Against 'Political Syphilis'
Wars Against Political Syphilis America's great danger lies in political syphilis spread by unconscious carriers. If the United States wants freedom, she must realize that holding up her skirts and withdrawing to her own yard will not guarantee it for her.
"One of the greatest things I got out of the war is that in this revolutionary world in which we live freedom is eternity and death just an episode," the speaker declared fervently.
Following the dinner he conducted a short question and answer forum in which he stressed the importance of a liberal arts education for all journalists.
Earlier in the evening Stowe was the guest of honor at a dinner meeting of Sigma Delta Chi, men's honory journalism fraternity. Bull Session with Journalists
"I think it would be a good idea to have four years of liberal arts training including history, economics, and at least two languages, before you take up journalism," the famous reporter told the University's young journalists.
The speaker's captivating smile, witty remarks, and vivid descriptions made him a hit with both the Sigma Delta Chi's and the lecture audience.

Notes along the road . . . . Prof. Joseph Wilkins trying to grind out a message over an old-style "crank" telephone at Ellis. The Professor has a degree in engineering. He says he could build one of the things, but he couldn't figure out how to make one work.
Alumni who helped entertain the club in Russell were Martin Benson, journalism graduate in 1939, and Ray "Bub" Schaffer, former University basketball star. Graduate on tap tonight is Elon Torrance, journalism graduate of 1939. Spot at "Best Ston"
Jack Nelson, speech teacher at Hays, was on the bus for a short visit during a "rest stop". Mary Markham and Phil Nicholson, recent graduates, took in the concert and ate dinner with the club at Ellis.
Chat at "Rest Stop"
The wind has stopped. When the sun comes out it warms up fast—but it is swell. Well we'll have to wind up to catch the evening concert. Yours' till tomorrow night from Hoisington. Scott City and Dighton are on the itinerary for tomorrow.

This year's conference will feature a panel discussion by members of the University faculty at the noon luncheon at the Memorial Union building.

Russell adds that detailed instructions should be given to all these captains as there are right ways and wrong ways of digging dandelions, the same as instructing students, or milking cows.
A 4-hour job will be sufficient, Russell estimates, for students to rid the campus of this floral display.

Up at Dawn
The municipal airport is no "white elephant" to the taxpayers of Lawrence; neither is it a useless concern to others throughout the country. Five or six planes from all parts of the United States land at this field each day. The whirr of a powerful bomber plane is heard over town, and by the time it lands at the airport a dozen persons are hot on the trail to inspect the newly arrived ship.
The instructors' day starts at 5 o'clock in the morning. Don and

Bill Ashcraft are on hand at the crack of dawn, until late at night every day. Such early rising makes it tough on the wife, says Ruth Spencer Ashcraft, a K.U. student and wife of Bill, but she is not complaining. Pilots and managers must eat before they work.
One of the airport's main functions is to maintain a flight training school under the C.A.A. program. This is in connection with the University where the ground school work for the young pilots is provided. Since the fall of 1939, 180 students from K.U. have received their private pilot licenses. Right now 50 students are enrolled in the primary training course, which gives them their private pilot's license. Thirty students have obtained entrance into the advanced training course. In this class the students receive a higher rating as pilot of a heavier ship than was used for the first course. They gain more accuracy in acrobatic flying and spot landings.
