Girl seeks light on air navigation
Jersey City, New Jersey – (Aug. 29)
Among the many inquiries received by Dean Alexander F. Ormsby, of John Marshall College, regarding the school’s navigation course, is a letter from a 14½-year-old girl, Louise Digges of Montclair, New Jersey.
For the past year, she said, she had studied air navigation, picking it up from books and articles, and right now she can plot an XC course by dead reckoning. A freshman in the Immaculate Conception High School, Louise hopes that one day she can ferry planes across the ocean to help win the war.
