Oklahoma Center Plays Big Part in Air Safety Oklahoma City (W Anyone who takes a flight on a com mercial or private airplane owes thanks to a unique school here whose mission is to increase flying safety. Air traffic cops from almost everywhere come to the Civil Aero nautics Administration Aeronautical center, located at Will Rogers municipal air port. The operation,, only one of its kind, is the center of airways, air traffic control, and air safety training for per sonnel charged with those du ties the world over. Through the center's class rooms pass personnel connect ed with the CAA, the mili tary, and those in charge of the air control machinery of all free nations. In addition to the hundreds who receive training at the center each year, 3,500 other CAA em ployees scattered around the world are taking correspond ence courses. During 1958, Uncle Sam will train 4,500 air control specialists at the fast-expand-ln center in a drive to get ready for the era of jet. trans-1 porta tion.

In forming the center, the standardization center was moved here from Houston, Tex., the signal training center and federal airways equipment warehous ing from Forth Worth, Tex., the communications opera tions school from Seattle, Wash., and the international training school from Kansas City. While the center is usually thought of as a facility for training personnel to- keep in step with new procedures and technical advancements, it al so has an unusual warehous ing and supply function. 24-Hour Service The CAA, charged with maintaining air travel safety throughout the United States and its territories, has estab lished its continental supply depot here, as well as main tenance and installation shops for avionics equipment de vices which are electronic and airborne.

This phase of the operation includes storing, assembling and distributing all technical equipment and supplies need ed to install and operate flight aids. To make up parcels of navigational aids, a number of engineers and technicians are employed, far more than warehouse clerks. The center also is respon sible for parts, accessories and technical equipment for all aircraft owned and operated by the CAA. "We can give 24-hour serv ice to any point in the United States and not over 48-hour service to any point in the world where CAA or its coop erating system operates," Lan ter said. The center now is develop ing flying laboratories to test electronic safety equipment installed on civil airways throughout the world. Jet as well as piston-engine aircraft of all types will be used for this testing;- Lanter said. Children Learn Bible From Puppets Wichita, Kans. (IP) Bible stories come to life for small fry members of a church. The credit goes to Mrs. Thomas Parish, wife of the minister of Wichita Central Christian church, who uses puppets to make the Bible meaningful for children. Mrs. Parish, mother of four children, an artist and author from Independence, Mo., has designed 15 Biblical charac ters from balsa wood, plus a few animals for laughs, to put over stories from the Old and New Testaments. She directs performances, but the children assemble the puppets, make their clothes, write the scripts and pull the strings. "The production is simpli fied by pre-recording the chil dren's voices on tape. That eliminates the need for each child to memorize parts. When the actual show is on, the youngsters move their puppets to correspond with the re corded words," Mrs. Parish explained. She got the idea 10 years ago when she noted how in terested children were when they listened to safety rules illustrated with puppets. She tried the technique on chil dren at church, and attend ance increased. STILL MAKING RATTAN Gardner, Mass. (IP) A firm here still manufactures the old-fashioned rattan, with which teachers laced unruly pupils back in the 19th cen tury. The Commonwealth Manufacturing Co. has a standing order for 100 of the yard-long rattans to be sent to an out-of-state school supply house each year. of Economy, Own . . . VOLKSWAGEN" Mendiy. february 10, 1958 FOR w rpn W7 3 I THE FIRST I PROVED THE MOST POWERFUL gasoline you can buy. New Flying A Super Extra is the only 100-octane gasoline in the west. It's the motor fuel late model cars were designed to burn. Whatever the age of your car, it will take off faster, run smoother, and have more reserve passing power with new Flying A. Remember, it takes high-octane gasoline to give a modern high compression engine full performance. And only Flying A is 100-octane gasoline. NEVER TO Flying A Super Extra is over 100-octane. Octane rating measures a fuel's resistance to knock. No gasoline of less than 100-octane can completely protect today's high compression engines against knock or ping. New Flying A Super Extra, with over 100-octane, can and does give you positive pro tection at all times, under all driving conditions. PROVED THE CLEANEST-BURNING gasoline you can buyl Most modern gasolines do not burn clean. They foul up carburetors, valves, spark plugs and rings... cause costly repairs... and rob you of new-car power too soon. Hoping to solve this problem, some refiners resort to "gimmick" additives. But new Flying A Super Extra is super refined impurities are taken out in the refining process so they never reach your car. Without qualification aiew Flying A 100-octane is the cleanest-burning gasoline you can buy. Tidewater on Company TIME... KNOCK... even in the nrrD L.
