12 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1931 LIFE IN ARMY AERIAL FORCE WORTHWHILE Life In the army ha compensa tions which more than offset any hardships which a recruit may en counter while serving his first few months In the service of Uncle Bam, In the opinion of Eugene L Velle. son of Mr. and Mrs. George LaVelle, 955 Marlon street, who de tails tome of his experiences since he enlist? d some time ago In a let ter to 6t. Harry P. Endner, local recruiting officer. Young LaVelle, who is attached to the 20th Pursuit Group Head quarters, at Mather field. Mills, Cal., was employed as a mechanic with one of the large bus transportation systems operating out of Salem. He Is expecting to take the examina tion for the post of flying cadet in the near future. Since leaving for California he has been promoted two or three grades. Competition for service with the air force Is quite keen, LaVelle states. LaVelle states that he has from 1 In the afternoon to bed time free in which to study or Indulge In some form of amusement. The morning hours are taken up with duties In connection with his posi tion at Mather field. "One who has worked In civil life can easily perceive the difference In hours worked, five in the army and eight or more In civil life,' LaVelle writes. "In the way of monetary consid eration, every year examinations are given for eligibility as air me chanlc, first and second class, which pay $i and $72 respectively.'' the letter adds. 'When one stops to consider that 121 In the army Is equivalent to 1100 in civil lire, the advantages of such an arrangement are readily perceived." Provision is being made for a larger school at Mitther field, La Velle states, while squadron com manders are encouraging members of their commands to attend. Taking everything into considera tion, LaVelle says he has reached the conclusion that "facts are not misrepresented when the statement Is made that the army oilers op-1 portnnttles."
