Lake Pontchartrain was entirely too rough to try a landing. But about a mile southwest of the airport was the Industrial Canal. Sure it was?and so was a 25 mile cross-wind and a very narrow approach and landing, but it was home, so around I went again, feeling for the water. It was as dark as a closet. I made the approach long and low, dropping slowly. The landing was an anti-climax. It came off too smoothly. After that there was nothing to do but taxi up on the beach, where my friends were waiting for me.
There were some mighty interesting figures waiting for me too. Of the 81 gallons of fuel, my plane had consumed 61 gallons, and had used one quart of oil. The official reqord has not yet been received from Washington, and, although the actual distance flown was 1,186 miles, we expect the new record to be listed as approximately 1,120 miles. The old record of 902 miles was held by Dewey F.ldred and established in January, 1939, in a Taylorrraft. Traveling at an average speed of 87.85 m p.h., my flight took
l3'/i hours. I had averaged 18.5 miles per gallon, at a cost of 1.04 cents per mile. Not bad, eh?
You might think from this that I?d been through enough for one day and you'd be approximately right. Except for one thing. Somcbody?d thought up a swell publicity angle, and they were waiting with a microphone from WWL at the end of the flight.
That was when I really started getting frightened.

The Baltimore program is a logical step from another cooperative venture instituted two years ago by Martin and the school board. At that time, the cooperating groups started a course in blueprint reading, which is held every
Saturday morning from October through May at the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, a local technical high school of high standing nationally.
Phis year Martin supplied 20 instructors from his engineering ami manufacturing departments. The class had an enrollment of 425. of whom 148 were seniors at the institute ami 175 others were Martin employes seeking voluntarily to better themselves. livery non-einployc graduate of this year s i 1?US-1939) course, like those who graduated last year, was given an opportunity to work at the plant.
Like Martin, the school authorities feel pretty good about the success of the second training program. Not only because they?re helping their students get jobs with a future but because they are, in a very real sense, making a definite contribution to the safety of the country. It isn?t far-fetched for them to say, as some have said, that their help in providing Martin with trained men to build the airplanes with which the Army Air Corps is being built up
