. AIRPORT PROGRESS
By Charles V. Stanton
The Roseburg Weather Bureau office is to be moved to
the municipal airport after the Iim oi ine year, n is an
j
J1UU11CCU. ,
The transfer possibly will result in a change in our
weather statistics. For example, we win aououea nave
slightly greater extremes of both heat and cold in our re
ports. The city area, where instruments now are mounted
atop the federal building, has a measure of protection from
the elements because of surrounding hills. The airport, sit
uated in a more exposed position, will doubtless have slight
ly higher temperatures in summer and lower temperatures
in winter than would be recorded at the existing downtown
Btation. ,
Another factor will be that of wind velocity. Roseburg
presently has the lowest recorded wind velocity of any
Weather Bureau station In the nation. We probably will
maintain that record, but velocities at the more exposed air-

Advantage In Flight Plans
Local fliers are elated by the announcement that the
Weather Bureau will handle flight plans from its newvose
Viuror airoort office.
t Whenever a pilot leaves one field to fly crosscountry
to another he is expected to file a flight plan. This plan
Identifies the plane and its occupants, gives the time of de
parture and anticipated time oi arrival at me point oi aes
tination. and the armroximate course to be flown. Upon ar
riving at his destination, the pilot terminates his flight plan
by notifying the station there of his arrival. Thus there is
a record of successful flight. If, however, he should be
forced down or should meet with accident, search and res
cue operations are initiated when he is unreported. The sta
tion of destination, notified that he is expected to arrive at
a certain time, institutes inquiry if he becomes overdue. If
not immediately located at some intermediate station, he
becomes the object of search.' Contacts are made along
his reported line of flight to determine where he was last
seen. Planes take to the air to searcn nis course lor smoice
signals or other signs of distress. If not immediately found,
additional planes are called out and an extensive aerial
search organized.
When flight plans are available chances of rescue fol
lowing accident are immeasurably increased. But when a
pilot's course Is not known in advance it becomes almost
impossible to locate his downed plane. Many lost fliers,
failing to file advance flight plans, have been objects of
aearch over a number of years. Only a few months' ago
all available planes in the Roseburg area made an intensive
hunt for a plane containing a father, two sons and a dog
from Tacoma. .No trace or them has been tound and, be
cause there was no flight plan, searchers were forced to
comb thousands of square miles of rugged terrain. Facili
ties for filing flight plans from the Roseburg office will
mean added safety for fliers.
City Hat Fin Building
Persons who have not inspected Roseburg's new airport
administration building will.be surprised by the attractive
ness and utility of the structure.
. We have Been many airport buildings up and down the
coast, but few aro more attractive or serviceable than Rose
burg's new installation. The building now houses the depot
and ticket office of the West Coast Empire Airlines. The
waiting room is attractive. Its large picture windows af
ford unobstructed view of the port. Quarters to be occupied
by the Weather Bureau were built to accommodate record
ing equipment, having electrical connections built into the
structure In keeping with the plan of office arrangement,
The building is small, but entirely adequate for exist
ing airport business. As activity at the port expands, ad
ditions may be made to the building, which is designed for
new sections as needed
Any person frequently using airline or private planes
appreciates the Roseburg port. At most terminals the air
port is located at considerable distance from the city's busi
ness district. Roseburg's port, however, is only a few min
utes m driving time from the downtown district Within
another year or so it will be bordered by the main highway.
it is even now being surrounded by new residential developments.
) Viewing the progress of the past few years, Roseburg
enouia be proud of its airport facilities.

, We have a catrh-as-catch-can
system of dialing till we hear the
voice we wish to hear on our ra

think we have an Oregon station
and it turns out to be Albuquerque,
N.M., or maybe it's San Antonio,
or New Orleans, or Cheyenne, or
some other place. When I happen
ed to turn on the radio early this
morning, I. dialed until the word
"Yorkmar caught my ear. Some
one called Doc and someone call
ed Millard were chatting' over the
news.
. "Doc" quoted the Coast Guard
as saying that this morning a ny
lon line, fifteen hundred feet long,
would be carried by helicopter
from the Salvage Chief to the
grounded Yorkmar, a messenger
line which would of course, be used
to lead the heavier lowing line in
to the Yorkmar. Well, didn't we
just read the other day in the
Satevepost about Tugboat Annie's
brilliant idea of doing just that?
Just why anybody reads Tugboat
Annie with such Interest, to see
how she "figgcri it out" this time,
I don't know when one would sure

Annie appeared in the flesh may
be that is Tugboat Annie's charm.
There just couldn't be anybody In

Another item "Doc" and Mil

poisonous personal cracks like
those? '
It will be far better to WAIT
UNTIL AFTER JANUARY 20. '
A little incident that was report
ed in the newi of yesterday may
mislead shallow, thoughtless peo
ple. It seems that Ike and sev
eral of his associates aboard the
Helena did some skeet shooting
off the fantail of the big cruiser
which, by the way, is a splendid
place for any kind of trap shooting,
as the shot falls harmlessly into
the sea,
I suppose half the nit-wits who
read that item are saying by this
time: "Yeah, a bunch of big shots
having a swell time out there in
the warm, pleasant Pacific AT
THE TAXPAYERS' EXPENSE."
At this point, let's interject a
couple of paragraphs from the
news of this morning;
, The top - level conferences
aboard' the Helena ended yester
day. What conclusions, if any, were
drawn have not been disclosed.
But John Foster Dulles (who will
be secretary of state in Ike's cab
inet) said the conferences will pay
dividends to the American people

"There won't be any Immediate
grand-scale payoff but it will
be a gradual thing, reaching into
every part of the government's op
erations at home and abroai."
He said that Eisenhower and
his aides have now been able to
form the framework of the new
adminstration policy and that they
all KNOW THE DIRECTION IN
WHICH THEY ARE GOING AND
THE GOALS FOR WHICH THEY
ARE AIMING.
You're familiar, of course, with
the ancient crack about Colum
busthat he didn't know where
he was going or what he would do
when he gut there and was mak
ing the trip on borrowed money.

Did you ever spend a whole day
in business conferences so impor
tant that they required EVERY
OUNCE of concentration of which
you were capable? ,
If so, you'll understand how use
ful and constructive a little
BREAK in the tension can be. It
eases the strain. People LET
DOWN and become themselves.
AFTER the break, the serious
business goes on much more
smoothly and efficiently as a re
sult of the brief relaxation.
Put yourself, if you can, in the
position of a group of men upon
whose shoulders THE FATE OF
AN ENDANGERED NATION
RESTS. Try to imagine the strain
imposed by such responsibilities.
If you are able to do that, you'll
be able to understand the value of
brief breaks in the super-tension
imposed by grave responsibilities.
I think you'll agree that even if
the taxpayers paid for the shells
burned in the skeet shooting it was
a good investment.
