Washington (U.R) Down at
the Marine base at Cherry Point,

though, came
from an hnnmrt
Harmon Iftcbota source.
It was like this:
This poor fellow was sent to
Cherry Point some tim hart
because he was the only man in
that area who knew how to fly
an air-sea rescue helicopter.
For three weeks he was on 24
hour detail and all he did was
ait around waiting for somebody
to rescue. "
He got a little tired of that
and went right to the top and
demanded some relief.
"How about checking out
some more pilots to fly this
model?" he asked the squadron
executive officer.
Pilots Checked Out
The top officer looked intn th
i
matter and found that the only
uxejy spot lor that kind of ac
tion was at Jacksonville, Fla.
While our man kept on sitting,
five Marine pilots were checked
out and sent to Quantico, Va.
There was no model helicop
ter there, so they went back to
home base.
Finally, the pilot at Cherry
point looked at the calendar and

In Unemployment
Salem (U.R) Unemploy
ment declined in Oregon by

State Unemployment commis
sion said Saturday.
But the April 1 estimate of
32,567 persons looking for jobs
in this state was still above last
year's comparable figure of
29,003.
Although 40 ner cent of the
unemployed were from lumber
and logging operations, most of
the local offices in Western Ore
gon's fir area reported condi
tions better than on April 1,
1951. Roseburg, Eugene, Leb
anon, McMinnville and Astoria
noted considerable improve
ment in the past 30 days.
Payments to workers covered
by unemployment insurance
amounted to $2,101,532 in
March, somewhat less than in
January or February but 29 per
cent more than the $1,631,450
a year ago.
This year's first quarter to
tal of $7,383,083 was exceeded
in onlv 1950 of seven post-war
years. During the first three
months of 1951 only S4,87,4U7

24-hour detail for five weeks.
He was an unhappy character,
and his wife was getting a little
fidgety, also.
In all that time, the pilot
hadn't been off the ground.
Takes Plana for Check
One day, he got a small meas
ure of relief. His commanding
officer called him in and told
him to check over the helicopter
and lift it for a test flight So It
would be In shape if anything
happened. '
Something did happen to the
plane. When the pilot brought it
down for a landing, something
went wrong and it cracked up.
The pilot was unharmed.
The plane was a total loss.
At happy last another helicop
ter came down out of the skies
and set down on the runway at
Cherry Point.
The pilot looked at it and turn
ed away in disgust .
The ship was an early model
known as "flying banana.- It
was a helicopter, all right but it
was a one seater. Meaning it
couldn't pick up another passen
ger in rescue work.
Dangerous Country
It wouldn't be good even for a
pleasure ride because Cherry
Point la in dangerous flying
country. Mostly bushy country.
unsafe for landing a helicopter.
The Marines found themselves
with two fine helicopter rescue
pilots on their hands. They sent
the second one back where he
cam from, leaving our friend In
the same fix he'd been In before.
Last word I had of him, he
still sitting it out 24 hours a
day. And still mad. '
