Ancient Plane Spans Country NEW YORK. (If) Luce ghost from the past, an ancient and battered Ford trl-motor transport wheezed down to a weary landing Thursday at La Guardla airport. Spectators on the big field's observation deck stared as the ship taxied In among the sleek new airliners. The "Old Tin Goose," a relic from the 1002's, was the grand father of the new ships and it was just finishing a sentimental Journey that marked its pioneer ing days In the air. The old Ford made a 12-day trip from the west coast to com memorate the 20th anniversary of trans-continental air service, started in 1029 by the then Transcontinental and Western Air, Inc. 41 Persons Climb The Middle Sister With Paul Lafferty, Duane Brown, Dr. Norman Lee and John Skillern leading, 41 persons climbed the Middle Sister Sunday on the annual Obsidian tenderfoot climb. All except one reached the summit. The oldest climber was 81, and the youngest was nine. Making the climb were W. n. Kane and Doran Anderson, Cor vallls: Cassius Brewington, Dick Rodgers, Bob Fuller, Harold Jack, George Jack, Shirley Couch, Milt Koupnl, Dan Koupal, Al Llndley, Donna Llndley, Lois Driscol, Dale Kennedy, Thorn Kinnersley, Dave Knox, Ivan Funk, Ralph John son, Meredith Burch, Pat Hus band, Dan Hedrickson, Mac Cox, Rodney Cox, Doris Sims, Ernie Ruberg, Paul Civin, Win Rom- vedt, Dorothy Spencer, Margaret Markley, Joe Waltz, Nancy Ham lin, Jean Lafferty, Jim Stewart, Vernon Hoffman, Mlchail Hoff man, Glen Kerrebrock, Mike Mc-Closkey. From slow-paced stagecoach to flve-mile-a-minute plane sums up the rapid development of trans portation in the last 100 years. Stagecoach and rail In 1850 made It possible to cross the country in 24 days. In the Civil War era mail was carried coast to coast via rail and pony express in less than 13 days. Completion of the first transcon tinental railroad in 1869 lowered the time to seven days. In 1920 air and rail made it possible to cross the country in three days. The following year the first day and night flight of mail left San Francisco and reached New York 33 hours, 21 minutes later. Time was whittled to 13 hours by 1946. Today, United Air Lines Main liner 300's (DC-6's) make the trip in less than 10 hours. The fellows out at the Mahlon Sweet Airoort are really burned up over the fire they had last week. It seems that someone reported to tha Register-Guard that it took two engine companies, aided by the fire truck stationed at the air port, 91 minute, to extinguish a grass fire near the airport, but those who manned the airport truck tell a different story. According to these fire-fighters, they hopped on the airport fire truck in true fireman fashion, rushed to the fire, extinguished it, and returned to the airport all in 20 minutes, and it wasn't until they were almost back to the air port that they even saw another Leader Booed In Work Call NEW YORK (U.R) Rank and file strikers booed Matthew Gulnan, president of local 100 of the Transport Workers Union (CIO) Thursday when he recom mended that they end their week old strike against two bus lines which carry an average of 1,200,- 000 passengers a day. Guinan spoke to a rank and file meeting of the TWU local which was called to hear a unanimous recommendation of the union's negotiating committee that the men return to work under Mayor William O'Dwyer s four-point pro. posal for ending the strike. The workers struck a week ago against the New York City omni bus corporation In protest against the economy Tiring of four em ployes. The strike spread to the Fifth Avenue Coach Company, a subsidiary, and wages, hours and other grievances became Involved. Giustina Bros.

(U.R) A program to emphasize "good old' fashioned American thrift" will be underway in Nebraska public schools next fall.

We, who are just Innocent by standers, hope this doesn't start a fire-fighting feud. The outstanding event for flying enthusiasts this week-end will be "Aviation Days" at Astoria, Ore., the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th. A big dance is planned for Saturday night with a good dance band. Sunday morning Is a FREE pilots' breakfast followed by a competitive trap shoot. After breakfast there will be an inter esting program. You will then have time to fly down to Seaside for tha crowning of "Miss Ore gon." It should be an interesting week-end. Let's have Eugene well represented. It must be soma sort of record that of all the model air planes being flown at the free flight contest at the Mablon Sweet Airport last Sunday, only two were lost The little gaso line motor models carry only enough fuel to ran the motor 20 seconds. From that point the small craft depend on air currents to keep them aloft. During the day four of these models disappeared from sight at an altitude of 2000 feet. Three of them were later found in the vicinity of the Lorane Highway, one right in the middle of the highway. Only one was not found. One rubber-powered plane was among the missing. In spite of the fact that this type of model air craft has no motor, depending en-1 tirely on a rubber band for its power, this particular airplane climbed to 200 feet and finally disappeared, also In the Lorane Highway area. The Eugene Prop Spinners scored 100 per cent in the con test, however, no one from the club qualified for the competi tions In Detroit. Acting as hosts for the contest, very few of the members were able to participate as contestants, but of those who did enter the competitions, all won trophies. With all Eugene pulling for her, Miss Diane Barnhart will be given a flying ftart for the title or "Miss Oregon." Diana will be flown to Seaside for the "Miss Oregon" contest by L. A. Thomas of the Cut-Rate Lum ber Co. in his Bellanca Cruia air. This is the same plane in which "Miss Eugene" had ber first flight Breakfast flights are always lots of fun, and most of us are eager to fly one whenever pos sible. But a group flying from Green's Flying Service broke all records for eagerness about two weeks ago. Lead by "Pappy" Max Green, Sr., six planes took off early on Sunday morning for the Sports men Pilots' Barbecue Breakfast at Mills City, Oregon. All went well and they arriv ed at the Davis-Gates Airport with appetites whetted in an ticipation of delicious barbecue. All went well, that is, except that the eager pilots were one week early. The breakfast flight was sched uled for Sunday, July 17. Un daunted these early birds tried it again, but on the right day. They report a wonderful time and a good show. One of the Eugene planes, Green's AT-6, took part in the show doing acrobatic maneuvers. AVIATION CALENDAR July 22-24 Aviation Days, Astoria.
