Wendt, Medford, Ore. By ELMER C. WALZER UPI Financial Editor New York -(LTD- Come next spring or early summer, there will be a new phrase in the !""1hiisin(ss world: "H o w are things down at the used air plane lots." For many years there has oeen something of a used air plane lot, but big. Now that slater wiier the commercial lines are going to jets the used plane inventory will take a big jump. And this growth will come at a time when business should be humming. The con nection with business prosper ity and used planes is that the corporations are a good mar ket for them. With corporations spread ing their plants all over the nation, the need for flying of fices grows daily. Corpora lions will take over some of the used planes without change. Others will convert them into flying offices. This conversion is big busi ness. Garrett Corporation's Air Research Aviation Serv ice Division at Los Angeles, Calif., is a pioneer in this line. Idea Clicked J. C. (Cliff) Garrett, foun der and president and chair man of Garrett Corp., started this division back in 1947 when he was unable to find anyone to customize and serv ice the company's DC3. The Garrett idea clicked im mediately and the firm now is a leading producer of air craft components and systems for military and commercial aircraft. Today there are approxi mately 75,000 n o n-airline, non-military aircraft flying times as much mileage as the commercial lines. Business executive and cor porate aircraft now account for a substantial majority of non-commercial miles flown. Aircraft range from con verted B24s of World War II to fleets of old reliable DC3s.

Is That So? By OLGA BURNS The following story about an encounter with a skunk is by Mrs. Melvin Handeland, of Lansford, N.D. "One early summer eve ning as my husband and I were returning to camp from a day's fishing, we heard a tinkling noise coming toward us from a bend in the trail. We stepped behind a clump of bushes and watched amaz ed as a mother skunk came into sight followed in single file by four young ones. The tinkling noises jwas coming from a small glass jar, wedged securely on the mother's head. She had apparently thrust her head into the jar in search of food and been unable to ex tract it. The noise was made by several small pebbles strik ing the inside of the jar with her movements. "We stepped out on sthe trail, but the little family didn't try to get away, and it became, obvious to us that the mother was quite weak from hunger and thirst. I felt so sorry for the cunning 'kitties' that I prevailed on my ' hus band to help her. Obligingly, he picked up several good- sized rocks and we started aiming them at the jar. We were so interested in what we were doing that vife forgot to be careful and approached to within a few yards of the hap less animal. Just as the last rock shattered the jar, Mrs Skunk, deciding matters had gone far enough, turned quickly and sprayed us with her evil smelling ammunition. Ring Around Neck "As she waddled indignant ly out of sight, we could see the ring of the jar had stayed around her neck like a tiny glass collar, and much to our surprise we discovered a sec ond glass jar ring around her neck behind the first. We could only conclude that the same thing must have hap pened to her before. But whether that jar was broken by another kindly fisherman and whether he received the same thanks my husband and I did, we can only guess. Well, Mrs. Handeland's story clearly shows that pay ing the price of freedom is a painful business-both for the giver and the receiver.
