Blind landing now possible. Washington D.C. It is now possible to make blind landings which has been one of the biggest difficulties to aviation. It is this single instrument located above the panel in the center directs him to the ground in a curved track and also in a straight line so as to hit the runway that is chosen for the landing. By watching the above instrument the pilot can direct his plane to the ground and determine whether he is to the right or left or above or below the beam that is transmitted. In tests that have been made the pilot has been able to land repeatedly within a few yards of the same spot

Here they sit and watch the traffic up and down the road they can see the American troops come into camp and go out, and are always hoping to spot an old friend among the newly arrived soldiers passing by

Since 1918 the ancient capital has been again joined to Poland and because the tombs of the greatest Polish kings are in the cathedral enclosed by the castle walls, it is planned to make a national memorial there

Recreational structures. Big Ridge Lake. Diving tower, beach and bath house may be seen in the background. This forty-five acre body of water has proved an attractive recreation spot for thousands of visitors since it was first opened to the public in May 1934. Encircled by the 3,500 acres of wooded hills in Big Ridge Park, the resort is provided with a boathouse, bath house, a public lodge, nineteen modern vacation cabins and a beach with a specially constructed pool for children. Located on the eastern boundary of Norris reservoir about twenty-five miles northeast of Knoxville, Tennessee, the lake was formed by constuction of a small dam across one of the arms of the reservoir. This recreation area and the 3,800 acre Noris Park near Norris Dam were developed by the National Park Service and the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) in cooperation with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). This is one of many comparable parks on TVA reservoirs, most of which are in use and greatly enjoyed by tourists as well as residents of the surrounding area who previously had few, if any, outdoor opportunites for ourtdoor sport and recreation. The completion of other recreational parks has been prevented by the war
