Many Valley Residents Fly
For Business and Pleasure
By BOB VROMAN
A few years back, airplane
pilots had to have nerves of
steel and were generally consid
ered to be an adventuresome, if
not a foolhardy lot. 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.

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.

Remove Stains
To remove hair oil stains from
wallpaper, place a clean blotter
over the spot. Then press a hot
iron on the blotter. This usually
will draw out the stains.

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. These bacon-tomato-mushroom
garnishes during the last
8 to 10 minutes of cooking.
easy. 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.
"Women want the pride of doing
something, if it doesn't take too
much work."
