MAJ. SCHOFIELD
HALTS FLYING
TILL MONDAY
SOUTHER FEID, April s.—Major
Earl S. Schofield, commanding officer
at Souther Field, Friday ordered all
■work suspended until Monday, April
7, when flying instruction will be re
sumed.
The publicity officer at Souther Field
wishes to announce that he did not
pass upon the articles published Fri
day evening in The Times-Recorder
and is not responsible for the state
ments furnished the paper by an unau
thorized officer, which contained inac
curacies and theories not supported
by the facts.
At his request, Lieut. John R. Irwin,
post signal officer, received his dis
charge today.
——l - ■ *JI
Lieut. Floyd A. Wilson has returned
to duty from a leave of absence.
The person writing the article pub
lished last Sunday entitled “The Fly
ing Officers of Souther Field,” was ask
ed what prompted the article in ques
tion. He replied: “There were three
thoughts foremost in my mind as a
basis for the story.
“First, To say a good word for men
who have volunteered to serve their
country and who are bringing to the
atrenion of he world he new method
of transportation which promises to
be more important than all others ooin
bined- I
“Second, To encourage youth to
push forward their studies in school
and to take the college instruction, as
it will be seen in looking over the list
that all fliers of Souther Field have
had more or less of a college educa
tion and to be masters of an art of
this magnitude, an education is of vi
tal importance.
"Third, To call attention to the
character of the men who fly. They
must be reliable, responsible and free
from all habits injurious to body and
mind; thus when you see a success
ful navigator of the air you may rest
assured that in ninety-nine per cent, of
the cases he possesses all the qualifica
tions of a fine cultured gentleman.”
On Tuesday evening the men of Sou
ther Field were entertained at the
**Y’ hut by a party of friends from
Americus. Those present were Mrs.
W. H. C. Dudley, Misses Isabel Wheat
ley, Katherine Hamilton. Fay Wallis, 1
Edith Shy, Berta Stevens, Mary Jos
sey, Mamie Bragg, Elies Estes, Evlyn
Bragg and Mary Walker. Lionel Wil
liams, of Atlanta, who is here recup
erating after having received five (
wounds while fighting with the Ma
rines overseas, also accompanied the'
party.

Evidence of Failure.
We frequently find men of culture
who take pride in their art or their
science but who have no feeling for
morality or religion and are rather
proud of the fact. Is it not rather an
evidence that their culture is failing to
raise the possibilities of experience to
their highest power?—Minneapolis

The date for the Methodist Cen
tenary financial campaign has changed
from April 27-May 4 to May 18-25, of
ficial announcement of which is being
made throughout the length and
breadth of Methodism today. Several

for the forthcoming Victory Loan
Drive. The selection of another date
has been held in abeyance pending the
decision from Washington which was
forwarded headquarters of the M. E
Church, (South, recently.
The change in this date is of wide
import to all Methodists who are, at
this time, lining up plans of definite
action regarding their part as individ
uals in the campaign. Dr. W. B. Beau
champ, Secretary of the Centenary
Commission, stated today that he and
other Centenary workers at headquar
ters have, through Secretary Carter
Glass, pledged the loyal support of all
Southern Methodists to the govern
ment at this crucial hour and that in
setting (May 18-25 as a date for the
Centenary drive, he knows he will
have the immediate and hearty co
operation of all conference secretaries,
directors, field representatives and all
workers connected with the campaign.
The Methodist Centenary financial
campaign is the largest religious cam
paign undertaken in the history of the
world- One hundred and fifteen mil
lion dollars is the goal set —Southern
Methodists pledging themselves to
raise thirty-five million of that sum.
