Paul L. Dillun, owner of Rose

Umbaugh gyroplane.
He aaid he has formed the Pa
cilic Kotor-Wins Corp. and is in
the final stages of a quarter million
dollar capitalization program ui
preparation for deomonstrators
shortly after the first oi tne year.
Dillon, local electrical engineer,

Dim in a"
terested in the Umbaugh autogyro
type rotary winged aircraft when
he saw a movie on it a year io
last July.
, His interest was immediately
aroused, and his opinion was that
if this plane will do what it ap
pears in the movie to do and is
mass produced to sell at the
nounced price of $9,995, that we
are approaching a real break
through in civilian aviation."
Saw For Himulf
Dillon said that to dispel any
skepticism, he went to Hagers-
town. Md.. in 19B0 to see the ma
chine first hand and to meet and
talk with the developer, Raymond
K. Umbaugh, and his engineering
staff. He stated he was impressed
with what he learned there and
from conversations with prosper
tive users, aviation enthusiasts and
business men.
The Umbaugh gyroplane ran
land and take off almost anywhere
and in case of engine failure in
flight, the free spinning rotor will
let the plane and passengers down
safely at about half the speed of
a parachute. It is designed for
private and business flying.
Dillon is also president of the
Coos Rotor Wing Corp., which has
the agency for Coos County.
George Kelt, local flyer and air
craft service man who operates
Kelt's Klying Service, is the ex
elusive agent for Douglas County.
which Is causing I shortage of
available suitable alphabetical
dialing arrangements that can Re
assigned to new telephone ex
changes. This will eliminate difficulties
encountered previously with alpha
bets, which -differ from country to
country, since the Arabic system
of numbering is uniform through
out the world.
It was noted that billing in the
California-Pacific office is already
on the all-number basis. Several
Oregon communities recently
adopted ANC. A large number of
systems in other states have had
it in effect for some time.
After the. change, the prefix in
'use in the Myrtle Creek area will
be 863 instead of UN3. At Riddle
the prefix will be 874 instead of
TR4. Glendale will have 8:12 in
stead of VK2. There are actually
no changes in the manual dialing
in anv of those cases.
i In March, however, there will be
changes in some of the locations
Canyonville will have the prefix of
R.19 instead of JE2. Azalea will
have 8.17 instead of TF.7.
j When the Days Creek and Tiller
area and the Wolf Creek systems
ra rut into new office systems,
the Days Creek Tiller prefix will
I be 825 and Wolf t recti will oe m.
