Large segments of business and
industry berate the NRA bass from
one side. An element from the

Acknowledged benefits both the

ceived under the Blue Eagle have
been submerged in the public eye
by the vociferous nature of recent
attacks. The NRA popularity chart
is registering a down-curve at the
moment.
Tempestuous as he is Johnson

A talk on naval aviation by
Lieut. Frank Ward of the U. S.
Navy was the feature of the pro-
gram at the Kiwanis luncheon
Wednesday noon.
Lieut. Ward explained that nav-
al aviation is a unit of the navy,
since it works in conjunction with
and under naval officers.
It is divided into two phases,
shore and sea forces. The former
are used for scouting purposes;
| the latter for a variety of pur-
poses.
Explains Service
At present the navy has four air-
plane carriers with two more being
built. Three of the carriers carry
four squadrons or 72 planes each.
These are divided into fighting,
bombing and scouting squadrons.
Pilots are members of the navy
and keep up their "line work" the
same as the men on the boats.
Lieut. Ward explained numerous
activities of the planes in con-
nection with the navy and cited
recent practice activities.

Game Rule
For the benefit of those who
did see the games played here
during the 89ers celebration. It
might be said the tilt Is played
entirely from the top side of bur-
ros. all players except the batter,
pitcher and catcher being mounted
on the little mules.
There are no strlke-out* or base
on ball* and when the batter gets
a hit he must mount a mule and
ride to flrat ha*c—If he ran. In
fielding the ball the player must
ride to within a step of the ball
before dismounting.
The outfielders may throw tho
ball In while standing on tho
ground but the lnfleldcrs must re-
mount their steeds before deliver-
ing the ball to another player.
There are nine player* on each
side and the game 1* played with
a soft-ball and In much the samo
manner as the popular playground
