It took years of training to become a really capable pilot in those days, and even then, the chances were good that these "daredevils' would have a close shave or two every time they took one of the ancient crates into the air. Nowadays, flying a light plane is little more difficult than driv ing a car, and the new aircraft, with their foam rubber seats, in sulated cabins and dependable radio systems, make flying a pleasure instead of a wild adventure. ' The fact that over 100 Med ford pilots own their own planes or rent them for frequent trips aloft, is evidence that a person doesn't have to be an Eddie Rickenbacker anymore to fly a plane. These Medford pilots, who are doctors, policemen, lawyers, and businessmen, have discovered the pleasure of flying, and though many of them have Getting Old? Here Are the Symptoms By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York IIP That an nual celebration which most of us would prefer to skip came my way this week. I observed another birthday never mind which one in spite of myself. Friends remind ed with cards, family with gifts, and the National Greeting Card association carefully mailed its latest-style birthday missive. The association does this for a whole batch of newspaper folk, remembering their birthdays each year. It is a thoughtful custom they can forget for my money. Signs of Getting Old Betty Milburn, a newspaper friend with the Tucson, Ariz., Daily Citizen, said this reluctance to celebrate birthdays is just one of the sure signs of getting old. There are other indications especially common to us fe males, Miss Milburn allowed during a business trip to Man hattan. She named a few, I started adding to them and hence this list. You're getting old: If you decide this is the year for that quiet vacation; if you didn't buy a two-piece bathing suit; if you collected Clark Gable photographs but don't dig this Tab Hunter; if you no long er plan to set the world on fire but are content to kindle a small blaze; if cab drivers call you "madam" instead of "miss"; if you've stopped keeping a diary. How About Hair Do If you've been considering a new hair-do for the last year but have done nothing about it; if you turn to the obituary pages first thing in your newspaper; if you're scared to wear red; if you say, "Kids today didn t have as much fun as we did when we were growing up"; if you've stopped dyeing those first strands of gray; if you still haven't gotten around to the piano lessons you promised yourself 20 years ago; if you planned to buy only a lipstick at the cosmetic counter and the clerk sold you rejuvenating and muscle-toning creams; if you'd rather go home at the end of the day than join friends for cocktails. What Do You Sing? If you find yourself humming "W hispering" instead of "Mamma Look-A Bubu"; if you accept as inevitable another five pounds; if you talk a good game of tennis but play shuffleboard; if you can remember when everyone was saying, "Prosper ity is just around the corner"; if you see some of the new slinky black crepe dresses and say, "Look just like those we wore when I was in college,"; if you buy shoes for comfort first; if you figure eight hours of sleep are more important than stay ing up for the late show. And you're exceedingly young if you've read this far and none of these applies to you. Missionary Speaks For Thursday Session Of Temperance Union The Rev. Delbert Troxell, mis sionary to Japan sponsored by Medford First Christian church, spoke to the Thursday meeting of the Womans Christian Tem perance Union . at Hawthorne park. He told of the work and customs of the Japanese people. The Rev. John Reynolds, assist ant pastor of First Presbyterian church, gave the devotionals. Mrs. Guy Cox. president, ap pointed a nominating commit tee. Appointed were Miss Eliza beth Burr. Mrs. Ernest Santo, and Mrs. Minnie Bryant. The next meeting of the group will be held Thursday, August 8, at 11 a.m. at the Dr. Bert Elliott home. Mrs. G. . O. Sanden will be in charge of the program which will include films. The state WCTU meeting wall be held October 8 through 11 at Eugene. never flown anything bigger than a light plane they know all they need to know for the kind of flying they do. Most people can learn to fly with a few weeks instruction. The main qualifications 1 are a "cool head", and an understand ing of the basic principals of flying. After a while the feel of a plane will come to a novice pilot and there is just as much sense of control over the craft as there is of the family car. But these businessmen-pilots are not to be underated. They have worked hard to become good flyers, and going up once or twice a week is different than flying every day a pilot is apt to get a little rusty. The more a pilot knows about navigation. thermal columns, radio operation and flying in general the better off he is and no pilot ever gets through learning. The hub of activity for these "part time" Medford pilots is the newly-expanded Rogue Fly ing Service, where plane owners can order aircraft parts, have their gas tanks filled or have an engine overhaul. The Rogue Flying Service is owned by Elmont and Ralph George and their new partner, David Holmes, of Bear Creek Orchards. The firm rents light planes or will make chartered trips anywhere a customer wants to go in any of their five air craft. Recently Elmonth flew a customer to Lake o' the Woods, in Canada, a 3,000 mile trip. Any day of the week a per son can see these small privately owned aircraft soaring over the valley. A lot of them are trans ient, from California or Mon tana, but most of them are local ly owned. Pilots flying them wearing bright sport shirts, and dungarees, or perhaps a business suit and a straw hat. With the possible exception of a pair of dark glasses, they are dressed like anyone you would see on the streets of Medford. Interest in flying in this area seems to be growing every day, according to Elmont, and since Medford has long recognized as a strategic flying center, half way between San Francisco and Portland, he predicts a bright future for aviation in the valley. A few years ago there wasn't over a handful of private planes at the Medford airport. Now at least 30 of the small bright-colored aircraft are lined up on the apron west of the airport tower.

July 21. 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Women Enamel Copper As New Baking Hobby New York IW These days when mama says she's planning some baking, she's not talking about bread. She's set to fire up a kiln in stead of an oven and turn out a batch of bangles instead of bis cuits. Mama is just one of the thousands of women across the nation pursuing the hobby of copper enameling. ' The National Hobby Industrial association, at its show in Man hattan, reported that the copper enameling craze began on the West coast, as most hobbies seem to, and spread east. Women working with electrical kiln kits costing anywhere from $6.95 up, are designing and making neck laces, earings, cuff links, com packs and ashtrays. The process consists of cutting a design from copper, enameling in one color or several colors depending on in dividual taste, and baking on the finish. Hobbies Made Easy William MacMillan, Jr., dir ector of the association which represents 200 creative craft manufacturers, said copper en ameling is just one of several craft hobbies women have taken up. They're baking ceramics by the ton, doing their own backet-weaving, putting together their own leather goods, build ing their own reproductions of cplonial antiques, and even mak ing model railroads. The director- said he be lieved more women are turning craftsmen because manufactur ers have made the hobbies so Steak Garnish Garnishes can be so easy to prepare and add color and in dividuality to a meat platter may be prepared by wrapping a half slice of bacon around a tomato wedge. The bacon slice can be secured with a wooden pick. A mushroom cap can then be placed on the tip of the wooden pick.

Used to be, if a woman wanted to make a leather purse she had to buy leather at one place, the hardware at another, the tools at another. Now, with the works in one package, and even the holes in the leather al ready punched, all she has to do is .assemble. "They're lazy hobbyists," said MacMillan good naturedly.
