They are passing over a Russian Skoryy-class destroyer. The picture, one of several to ap pear in the magazine, is believed to be one of the first ' closeups of tSe new Russian fighter plane. Fliers Forced From Modern Air Age Into Eskimo's Environment Kemmerer, Wyo. U.PJ Kenneth Kiefer .and Delbert L. Flauty, who in one blinding mo ment were thrown from the modern air age into the frozen environment of the Eskimo, woke up today after a sound, warm sleep, ready to return to Travis Air Force Base in Calif ornia!) Keifer, 26, a Ft. Collins, Colo airman who owns hiff-bwn plane, and Flauty, his Evansville, Ind., service buddy, walked out of a snowy wJJderness yesterday after 48 hours of fearful worry by theirj relatives. They were a little cold'a little hungry and a little tired. En Route To West Coast Keifer left Rock Springs, Wyo. Saturday morning with Flauty, en route to the West Coast in Keifer's light, two-place Aeron- ca Chief ater spending Christ mas in Ft. Collins. About 30 miles north of Kem merer they ran into a snow storm and went down. Keifer dumped his plane in a deep snow bank. It tipped over, but he and Flauty were not hurt. "We hiked about three or four miles in the storm after the crash," Flauty gaid. "Then the wind started blowing and we built an igloo of snow near some bushes. We stayed there until 4:30 p.m. Saturday when I took a scouting trip and spotted a de serted cabin. "Late that evening, I caught a rabbit and we stewed it." " , ? Kiefer said Flauty actually ran the rabbit down in snow more than a foot 'deep. But it was so tough they had to let it sim mer in the pot two days before they could eat it. But there was a small supply of staples in the cabin, and they didn't go hungry. Couldn't Attract Pilots The 44th Air Rescue Squad ron at Denver kept planes in the air Sunday and yesterday, seeking the missing plane. But the search area lay 10 miles south of the" cabin, and Kiefer and Flauty couldn't attract the attention of airline pilots with bonfire smoke. Yesterday morning the ser vicemen hiked to a ranger sta tion near Kemmerer. The rang er took them by horse-drawn sled to his home to warm up and eat, and then into town where they telephoned their families. Is That So? Unseasonal as winter weath er may be, some pretty definite and astonishing things can be predicted for January. Do you know that . . . If you live in a freezing area like New York, Boston, Mont real or -Washington, you can look for a January thaw siti unseasonably warm day be tween January ,19 to 24. The' chances are better than four to three. As for a cold wave, it is quite likely to occur the following week. N o As for this midwinter cold wave, its length can be pretty well predicted, too. In Montana and the Canadian provinces, look for it to last two weeks; in the Chicago area, only three or four days; in the middle Missis sippi Valley nearer two days and the farther south you go, the shorter the cold spell will last and the chances are that it will be succeeded by a warm wave of comparable intensity. The coldest week of the year comes to different areas at dif ferent time, of course. But this, too, is Stetty definite. And sur prising. Look for it to visit the Deep South first. Then, to" catch the coldest week, you'll have to go farther north, steadily. During the first half of Jan uary, these spots will have their coldest-week-of-the- year: North- era Alabama, northern . Missis sippi, western Oklahoma, south west Missouri, southern Arkan sas, northwestern and central California, southeast Utah, south ern . Arizona, northeast New Mexico, Daring the last half of Jan uary, the coldest weeks will be in Maine, Vermont, Massachu setts, eastern Pennylvania, east ern New York, North Dakota, western Nebraska, eastern Kan sas, northern Minnesota, central Wisconsin, Iowa, central Illin- By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist ois, upper Michigan, southeast Idaho, western Montana, north east Wyoming, southern Califor nia, Nevada, southeast Colorado. Rhode Island, parts of New Jersey and Connecticut will have3 the coldest week in Feb ruary. ' To be sure elevation and prox imity to the sea may create con siderable local differences. 3 Now this isn't the coldest day of ' the year, mind you. That may fall in any part of North America as early as November or as late as April, however," in the majority of states and Can adian provinces it shows a de cided tendency to fall sometime after midwinter, generally early in February.

(U.R) Mem bers of Allegan's City Council wish residents who live along Fifth, Wayne and Kalamazoo' streets would make up thehS minds. One week, the council re ceived a petition asking the city to put road oil on the dirt streets "as soon as possible." The coun cil saw to it that the request was carried, out promptly. Then a petition arrived asking the city "never again to apply oil to our streets." "Guess the only solution to the problem would be to black top the streets," one council member said. , - Michigan claims the first con crete road, built in 1907.
