STUDENT PILOTS LEARNING PAST Half of the Southern Oregon College of Education class In aeronautics had soloed today, j There are ten students enrolled ; in the course, part of a national j plan to train civilian pilots, under a government program' supervised by the civil aeronau- tics authority. I Latest of the students to soloj was William M. Hawkins of; Ashland, He made his first solo hop of 15 minutes yesterday at! Medford municipal airport after receiving eight hours of dual instruction, minimum require ment. Four other students had preceded him in soloing, . The five remaining students will be soloed after the engine of the training plane, a Piper Cub, has been overhauled, tt was announced today by Thom as A. Culbertson, Jr., flight in structor. Meantime the students will continue to receive class room and ground instruction. Latest "Thin Man" Picture Delights Craterian Crowds A couple of favorites returned to the screen at the Craterian) theater yesterday and it looked j like all Medford was there to greet them. The picture that brought such crowds is "Another I Thin Man," blending laughs with thrills and mystery with mirth in the well remembered and de-1 lightful fashion of William! Powell and Myma Loy Nick j and Nora Charles, j The picture is a worthy suc-j cessor to the two preceding epi-, sodes of the "Thin Man" saga! which set a high mark in enter tainment value and also a new style in mystery pictures. It has j the same witty flow of narrative, the same succession of thrills for the mystery addict, and murder puzzle which will be even more perplexing to "Thin Man fans than those that went , before. I In addition, it presents baby 1 Thin Man whose nonchalant j ways would wring laughs from brass monkeys or wooden In dians.
