“DONT MARRY”
ADVICE TO AIR CADETS. London, September 5. “Don’t marry for at least ten years,” said Air Chief-Marshal Sir John M. Salmond, Chief of the Air Staff, addressing cadets at the passing-out inspection at Cranwell R.A.F. College. ■ “Whether you stay in England or go abroad, you will enjoy yourselves, but the man who marries early will not enjoy himself. In fact, he will have a bad time of it. He will be a nuisance to himself, to the squadron, and to the service. I must strongly advise you to leave that absolutely alone for another ten years or more.” Sir John Salmond also referred to stunting, which he described as not only dangerous, but objectionable. “It is objectionable,” he said, “because it is a gross and nauseating form of showing off. I ask you to behave lixe gentlemen in the air as well as on the ground.”
