NICHOLAS Central Press Correspondent PALM BEACH, Fla.—There is an island south of Palm Beach which the Seminole Indians named Hypoluxo, meaning “almost per- feet,” which it is not. This island is just far south enough to have good tropical and scemi-tropical vegetation similar to that found on the islands in the south seas. It also boasts of a va- riety of insects more fierce than any found in the South Pacific. Here the Army Air Forces con- duct a jungle survival course, which is about the toughest train- ing given any body of our men in our armed forces. Once a month a class of from 15 to 50 airmen, who are being trained to become flight emergency oOfficers, are landed on Hypoluxo and given a good workout on how to survive in a tropical jungle. These student officers land on the island wearing their flying tlothes anc carry equipment which consists of a machette, web belt, canteen, insect repellent and mos- quito net. They also have the parachute, in which they are supposed to have fimted down from the skies, and enough pemmican to supply them with two meals the first day. Be: vohd this they are required to live on what they are taught to forage off the land. i First Days Toughest The graduates of this jungle survival course say that the first few days are the toughest, par- tidularly if there happens to be a hepvy tropical storm before they haVe constructed their shelters. Enese shelters are made from the leaves of the cabbage palm, which when laid from bottom to top in shingle fashion make a waterproof home. The parachute proves to be one of the most use- ful items the flyer has, even after he has completed his jump. Part of it becomes a hammock, another strip may be stretched across the top to provide shade or serve as a mosquito bar, and other portions used to improvise traps, provide clothing or to catch water. ‘The latter is of vital importance | besides the keeping up of appear- as the only source of fresh water | ances, as it is important to keep on Hypoluxo other than rain is|beards short as possible because that found in sand banks and coral | they provide a good nesting place reets.

Additional articles of food in the jungle diet are boiled palm cabbage, pigweed and water hyacinth flowers, as well as fr like custard apples, tamarinds wild grapes and beach plums. The student officers trained in this course vary from licutenants to full colonels, but rank doesn't mean anything on Hypoluxo. When they graduate they will serve as instructors for the “jun- gle stewards” who will ride the giant planes in the South Pacific. It is planned that every one the great transports which servc the south seas, and every one of the giant planes which will bem! Japan, will carry its own Admira; s rubber. C\n .
