Ore--(SpecIal) To establish a definite standard by which flyingV schools "through out the country may be Judged, the flying school committee of the Aeronautical chamber, or com merce announced ' through Tax Rankin representing the north western dlTlalon of the chamber, minimum : requirements which mast be met before a flying school can win a place on the national chamber's accredited list. Mr. Rankin's announcement sets forth six distinct require ments. He points ant that Action lnrlted by the chamber . is purely voluntary for "it is realized that the chamber cannot, of course, re quire the schools, to cooperate but feels that the best way to ap proach the problem is to eneonr. age the, schools to Improve them selves." :r;;I; "The Flying school situation Is of grarest Importance to the. air craft Industry," Mr. Rankin said. "Sales of aircraft in 1929 depend to a considerable decree on the expansion of our facilities for properly instructing plane purch asers how to fly." The six minimum requirements s announced by Mr. Rankin fol low: . Course of Instruction: The minimum flying course to receive recogntion must qualify a student for a prlrate pilot's license from the department ol commerce. Ground courses must Include sub Jecta required by the department of commerce in qualifying a pilot f.ir a transnort license. Licensed instructors: All fly- tin? instructors must hold trens liurt pilot licenses from the depart ment of commerce. Licensed airplanes: All air planes used in school instruction- shall be licensed by the depart ment' of commerce., Fields and Traffic: Training fields should hate runways into the prevailing wjnds 1S00 by 604 feet, with a 10 to one ratio to clear all obstructions. Student ac tivity should' be discouraged from fields whose operations are 'con fined to narrow prepared"." run ways. The maximum amount of traffic safely "permissible on. '. training field is 10 ships per 100 acres of available landing area. Where a school is located on a field from which there are trans port operations, and should such operations be sufficiently frequent to i warrant, - student activity should be apportioned to a defin ite part of the field. The ideal con dition is to have training fields remote from transport fields Advertising: All advertising History and Horse-Sense A WOODEN horse played vnb small part In the fall of Troy. A -.milk wagon steed helped write history in-Stamford, Conn. The wooden nag outwitted -the defenders of the Trojan gates. The milk wagon horse showed more Intelligence than Is evidenced by many speeding humans. Here's the story and the good folks of Stamford are going to stick to It. During the wee small hours thla particular horse decided to run away. The streets were wide and deserted and the going was fine for u block or so, during which time a lot of wilk was delivered promiscuously. Then came a Stamford intersection and as old Dobynj thundered down upon it, the green light changed to red. . I The noble charger dug his cleats Into the pavement and stopped dead In his tracks thereby qualifying himself as a law-abiding ping. The National Safety Council points out this little Incident as an evi dence of horse-sense often needed by careless drivers. If the horseshoe fits, put it on just for luck 1 BliUIGIi!
