BY JAP ASSAULT
The Japs didn't scare Wil
liam L. Byrum, Medford resi
dent who went to Midway Is
land last May to work on a
defense project. He wants to
stay on the job and fulfill his
contract.
'I'm going to stay here and
complete my contract unless I'm
moved out, he said in a letter
received yesterday by his wife
who resides at 440 South River
side avenue. Mrs. Byrum had
previously, two days after the
Pearl Harbor attack, received a
cablegram from her husband
saying he was safe.
The letter received yesterday.
first from her husband since the
outbreak of war, was thorough
ly censored. So many parts of
it were cut out with scissors
that it had little continuity. The
letter, which came by airmail,
was passed by the censor, after
it had been clipped, at Midway
under date of December 15. It
was postmarked at Pearl Har
bor January 1.
Mr. Byrum, however, might
not be able to satisfy his deter
mination to work on, for civil
ian workers on Midway have
been undergoing evacuation,
according to word received by
relatives of a number of local
men on the Island. Among those
receiving such word were Mr.
and Mrs. J. H. Beck of Holland
who received a radiogram that
their son, Tyrus C Beck, had
been evacuated from Midway
and was safe in Honolulu.
Young Beck ' had also been
working on a defense project
at Midway.

Boy Scouts to Have
Chance to Develop
Aviation Knowledge
Boy Scouts will now have an
option of thorough preliminary
training in aviation according
to an announcement released by
Dr. James E. West, chief scout
executive of the Boy Scouts of
America, last night. This devel
opment is based upon action of
the national executive board on
recommendation of the commit
tee on program of which Dr
Elbert K. Fretwell, of Teacher
College, Columbia university, I:
chairman, and follows an ex
haustive survey and conference
with the outstanding leaders ir
the field of aviation as well a
the United States Office of Ed
ucation.
The British Boy Scouts assr
elation developed an Air Scot'
program more than two yeai
ago and Canada has recent!
announced a somewhat simile
development. As in Canada an
Great Britain the program o
the Boy Scouts of America wil
not involve actual lnstructior
or experience in flying, but will
greatly Increase the opportun
ity of the members of the Bo
Scouts of America to becomi
air minded and informed in thli
rapidly enlarging field of activ
ity of modern civilization, quitr
independent of the place of avi
ation in military operations.
The new development in the
Boy Scout program will be
available locally as soon as full
information is received, accord
ing to K. A. Wells, local Boy
Scout executive.
