MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for The Lessons of Air Power (New York Times) With each that passes, the importance of air power is made more terribly vivid to us. It plays the crucial role in the Pacific'today, whether we look at the Philippines, at China, at Singapore, lor at the Dutch East Indies. Our present great air inferiority in the Philippines has faced the defend- | ers of Luzon with “fearful odds,” and made possible ,rhl- criminal ault by air and capture of the open The numerically superior Chinese | have been forced on the defensive for years by laek nr naval forces, lack of mechanized equipment, and 'lbo\o all by lack of airplanes to counter the Japan- ese attack.

Reports from both wharf and street committees indicated need of repairs in the two divisions of public interest which were ordered attended to. Erwin Hachmeister, «hairman of the Civilian Defense Council, asked for appropriation from the Council to defray small expenses entailed in the work and the sum of $15 was voted. In consideration of promise made to contribute to the suport| of the public health work on the| channel it was voted that paymcm‘ be of the obligation when funds become The Mayor and City authorized to borrow from a bank for payment to t School Board if it needed ed of an ordinance to (onuol use of fire alarm within the city limits was discussed and a new one was ordered drawn up to replace! the old one supposed to have been| burned.

Exact cause of the fire had not been determined this forenoon but according to Mr. Greiner, when awakened by the smell of smoke, *Le found the kitchen ablaze around the range Hurriedly turning in an alarm he evacuated his wife and two children to safety in Miller's home and went reighbor's homes for aid.
