there is no such legal Inunimtm

5 Several months ago work was started, on
our own initiative, on an entirely new 1500
horsepower airplane engine especially designed
for mass production. This engine is now in the
test stage and plans are being developed for
producing it in large quantities when and if
needed.
BA Ford aircraft apprentice school has been
established, to train 2000 students at a time.
That is a report of progress to date.
The experience and facilities of this
company can be used to do .much of the
job which America now needs to get done
in a hurry. Our way of working, which
avoids all possible red tape, enables us to
get results and get them fast. This benefits
users of our products and workers who
produce them.
We are ready to make anything we
know how to make, to make it to the
limit of our capacity if need be, to make
it as fast as we can go, and to start the
next job whenever our country asks us
to. And to this end, we know we have
the full confidence and loyal sup
port of the workmen throughout
our plants.

Attend Institute on
Willamette Campus
Editor's Note: A Salem high school
student delegate's impressions of the
Institute of Citizenship held early last
wc;k on the Willamette university
campus is presented herewith.
By MARION HORN
To better appreciate and un
derstand democracy, 600 students
gathered last Tuesday on Wil
lamette university campus to at
tend the first Institute of Citizen
ship sponsored by the university.
Dr. William C. Jones, founder of
the institute, was the presiding
officer.
Much comment was made about
the address of Rex Putnam, state
superintendent of public instruc
tion. Most of . the students were
a bit disappointed that he didn't
elaborate on the state public edu
cation system. However, he cre
ated a friendly and informal at
mosphere with his humorous re
marks. Perhaps the straight forward
manner and youth of David W.
Eccles, executive secretary to
the governor of Oregon, made
him the favorite. His address
was void of humor and full of
information. Treating the
youthful audience as adults he
outlined in a clear and concise,
manner the financial system ef
the state. His concluding re
mark left the greatest impres
sion that the voters mus re
member the buildings and im
provements they vote for must
be paid by taxation, and the
voters must pay the taxes.

started to walk to the stage cen

Sprague's address was the
climaxing highlight of the day.
