PAINTERS ENJOY
ALL-DAY PICNIC
By B. C. Chapped
The Painters' and Carpenters' pic
nic on the upper Applegste Sunday
was a colorful affair. Craftsmen and
their families from, all the valley
towns and visitors from several east
ern states were present.
Nature and the CCC boys have pro
vided beauty and comfort on the
grounds with a lavish hsnd. Picture
a shsdy grove beside the river bank;
a crystal swimming pool Just warm
enougfi, Just cool enough to thrill
the bather with a sweet caress; mas
sive rustic shelters and benches and
huge tables; and convenient stoves
and drinking places. Embelllai the
scene with scores of; lovely and gra
cious ladles and vision happy chil
dren playing In the sands or splash
ing In the shallows. Then title tho
picture "Painters and Carpenters An
nual Picnic," and know that even In
these msd modern days folks are
still Just "good neighbors" If they
have Uie chance to be.
At lunch time the huge tables
creaked beneath stacks and heaps of
delicacies from the four corners of
the valley and way points and, hun
gry as craftsmen are . In recessions,
the plates hod some magic way of
refilling tliemselves that made ca
pacity the only limit of appetite.
As for this writer henceforth for
many moons he will dream of chick
en fried chicken chicken glowing
with rich tints or golden brown
chicken flaky and Juicy and luscious
chicken chicken.
Hie athletic highlight of the day
was the baseball game between Han
sen's Daubers an Dudley's Wood
Butchers and the major league scouts
missed a golden chance t bco Talent
In the raw. The Nail Drivers Ht.trted
off with a whirlwind campaign but
they Just couldn't take It when the j
Paint SI lagers hit their stride. And
mi lie there were many snappy plays
the details are too sad to relate- as
Hansen's e-uig polished off the Dud
ley Ites to the tune of 27 to 9.
Twss verily a great day and so
home to bed to dream of chicken!

LONDON (UP) More than 1.000..
000 London school children probably
will be evacuated from the metro-
polls In the event of air raids in t
future war.
The London county council In con
junction with the government U.
working out plans for evacuation of
school children and closing of all
schools In the London area as i
precaution against the air raid men
ace. More than 525.000 children under
the age of 14 attend the 1,125 ele
mentary (putjile) schools under the
London county council's , charge
There are also another 190,000 older
children in tho 246 secondary schools
(high schools) In the London .area.
Thousands more children attend pri
vate schools.
According to the London county
council plans, the evacuation would
be carried out as an Integral part
of any scheme for general evacuation
of civil populations If air raids made
London uninhabitable. At present the
government has no set plans for such
mass migration, which in the light
of tragic experiences of war-ravaged
Madrid and Barcelona It is admitted
would bo very difficult. It Is realized
however, that a series of devastating
raids might make evacuation neces
sary. One Idea Is that children tn schools
In danger zones should bt transferred
to schools In less exposed districts,
ihat twould. in practice, probobly
mean the Immediate closing down of
most schools In London's east end
and eastern suburbs which bore the
brunt of the worst World war air
raids. Owing to Its nearness to the
docks and factory belt, this area of
London probably would be an im
mediate target for bombers.
A London county council commit
tee which worked out these air raid
plans suggested it probably would
be necessary to close all London
schools for a limited period during
an emergency. The committee added,
however, that it Is Impossible "to
predict with any precision what
conditions would prevail in London
in the event of a future war involv
ing attack from the a'r on a large
scale."
The problem of evacuating children
and closing schools would be made
even more difficult by the fact that
London probably would have at most
10 to 15 minutes warning of the
approach of atr ratders, comparo
with the half an hour or more was?
liy; during the World war.
The speed of modern bombing
planes makes London probably the
most vulnerable big target tn Eur
ope. Even Paris Is less vulnerable,
since It Is at least a half hours
flight from the nearest frontier while
enemy planes could fly almost un
detected until they reached the Eng
lish coast.
