SEPTEMBER 22. 1963 ! t''4t' " JSlWlllaiS......-. r'"'" - On the Air By ELEANOR WIESE TO BE EXHIBITED One of the most famous of the early air transports was the Ford Tri-Motor like the one shown here. When it made its debut in the late 1920s, it represented a vast improvement over any airliner then flying. American Airways, the immediate predecessor of American Airlines, Inc., operated a fleet of the Fords when it was the "workhorse of the air." The plane pictured was purchased recently by the airlines for presen tation to the Smithsonian Institution after a series of visits to airports throughout the country, including Medford. Tri-Motor Plane Will Visit Medford; Static Display, Rides Are Planned The "Tin Goose, the Ford Tri-Motor plane, which is be ing contributed to the Smith sonian Institution by American Airlines for the institution's air museum, will be in Medford Sept. 25 and 26, West Coast Air lines, which will host the local static display, has announced. The plane, of the same model ns that in which Wiley Post and liarold Getty broke the round-the-world record in 1931, is ex pected to arrive at the Medford airport Wednesday afternoon, Scot. 25. .Jackson county and Medford officials will be taken on com plimentary flights on the Goose Wednesday. The general public is invited to view the plane Thursday morning, Sept. 26. Still In Infancy Commercial aviation was still fn its infancy in 1931. The Post and Gatty record of eight days, 15 hours and 51 minutes, illus trates this point when compared to the 5,000 mile flight of Rus sell N. Boardman and John Pol ando between New York and Is tanbul in 49 hours, 20 minutes, without refueling, Don E. Ko cina, customer service mana ger for West Coast Airlines here, noted in pointing out some of the comparisons. The Ford Tri-Motor has a cruising speed of 100 miles per hour. The F27 Prop Jets oper ated by West Coast Airlines serving Medford have a cruising speed of 300 mph The wing span of the Ford Tri Motor is 77 feet, 10 inches. The F27 has a wing span of 95 feet and the 707 Aslrojct, manufac tured by the Boeing company, has a wing span of 130 feet, 10 Tin inches. Length of Plane Length of the Ford Tri-Motor is 49 feet, 10 inches. The length of the F27 is 76 feet. Height of the "Tin Goose" is 13 feet, 8 inches; height of the F27 is 2f)'4 feet and height of the 707 Astrojet is 41 feet, 6 inches. The "Goose" has a range of 400 miles, the F27 an effective range of 2,250 miles and the 707 Astrojet a range of 3,000 miles. The F27, the most modern equipment flying in and out of roundtrips would produce 1,700,- MEDFORD PUBLIC SCHOOLS ADULT tDuawn (LASSES Fall term begins the week of Septem ber 30.

The Tri-Motor's is 5,000 and the 707 Aslrojct's is 43,000 pounds. The Tri-Motor has a seating capacity of 13 and the F27 scats 40. The 707 Astrojet seats 120. Purchase Price Noted Purchase price for the Ford Tri-Motor was $55,475. Purchase price of the 707 Astrojet, oper ated by American Airlines, is $6,300,000. The Tri-Motor has a total horsepower of 1,260. The Astrojet has a total thrust of 68.000 pounds. Operating nine hours a day one American Airlines 707 As trojet could fly as many revenue passenger miles in 3'A months as the entire industry with a fleet of 700 planes, did during the entire year of 1931, the Air lines brochure reveals. Thirty years ago it took about 30 hours to fly one wav between New York and Los Angeles. To day an Astrojet can make three round trips in that time. Coast-to-coast trips in the early thir ties produced some 30,000 pas senger miles and potential rev enue of $2,400. Today, the three 000 passenger miles and poten tial revenue of $114,000. The old airline workhorse of the late twenties and early thir ties is making a series of air port visits. Wherever it has gone, it has had wide crowd appeal. Its presence at many airports of the nation has given airlines an opportunity to dem onstrate the improvements that have taken place m commercial aviation over the past 30 years. Restoration of the Tri-Motor is being accomplished by Amer ican in three phases. Two have been completed. An intensive airworthiness program prepared it for its airport visits. During the winter of 1962-63, experts at the airlines Jet Maintenance base at Tulsa re-equipped the Ford with exact replicas of 1929 seats, landing lights, and other items. As the final phase, the Tri Motor will be returned to its original configuration for pres entation to the Smithsonian In stitution with engines less pow erful than it now has, and an absence of modern radio equipment.

Brown's principal civil rights measure and it passed the Legis lature only after an angry fight. Collry: Negro Attorney Na thanial S. Collcy submitted his resignation from the state board of education and Gov. Edmund G. Brown indicated he would accept it as soon as he could find a replacement. Collcy, the first Negro ever appointed to the board, denied originally that he had offered the resignation. But later the governor confirmed that he bad. Colley's denial came four days after he actually offered the resignation. Collcy gave the press of personal busi ness as a reason for his resigna tion.

International The worst bus-train accident in U. S. history was recorded near Salinas when a freight train traveling 65 mph hit a bus carrying Mexican farm workers. Three days after the tragedy, the death toll had hit 31 with the possibility it might yet climb higher. Some 22 workers were killed outright. Of 60 men aboard the bus, only the driver who said he "didn't see the train" escaped serious injury. He was driving a makeshift bus. The accident brought immed iate demands for investigation. Gov. Edmund G. Brown or- ! dercd the California Highway Patrol to make an intensive in vestigation. He also wired Mex ican President Adolfo Lopez Mateos the state's "deepest sympathies." (rim Testimonial In Washington, D. C, Rep. Henry B. Gonzalez, D-Tcxas, of Mexican descent, told the House of Representatives the tragedy was a grim "testimonial" to the braceros law, which permits Mexican workers to come to the U. S. under an agreement be tween the two countries. The state of California later announced it would pay more than $750,000 to the families of the braceros killed in the col lision. The stale insurance on the braceros was carried by their employer, the Growers Farm Labor association of Sa linas. Meanwhile, the slate added up the number of such laborers killed during the past 10 years while ruling in buses or trucks, and came up with a figure of at least 150. Elsewhere there were these developments: Thief: San Francisco authori ties were puzzled by a clever jewel thief who just didn't fit the description of a clever jew el thief Some $51,000 worth of diamonds were taken in two dar ing thefts, but detectives were not stalking distinguithcd look ing gentlemen with little mus taches and foreign accents. They wanted a few words with a little old, unidentified lady, who wore a cloth hat and a ratty, old mink coat. After the thefts, she dis appeared into the crowd.

K'opvrisht 1963 General Features Corp.) ' Mrs. A. X. Her daughter upsets mine with her sexy talk. I Mrs. S. H. I can't help it if her child is raised on stork ! stories. I Mrs. A. X. - Mrs. H. and I i are neighbors and my 10-year-old Terry plays with her 12 I year-old Eloise a great deal. Lately Terry brings home sexy slang and shocking questions. I When I ask where she hears 1 such things, she says from Elo ise. I'm no prig I tell Terry what she should know. But Elo ise and her mother seem to think no other topic matters. I want Eloise to change or leave Terry alone. Mrs. S. II. I'm sorry Terry and Mrs. N. are disturbed by my openness with Eloise. We're very close, not full of fears the way I was toward my mother. She used to slap me or wash out my mouth when I asked certain things. As a result I picked up I nonsense and street-talk. It took j a psychiatrist and my wonderful I husband to show me that it's j beautiful, natural topic. That's wnai i leacn tioise. y The Council: Mrs. N. needs radar and Mrs. H. needs brakes! Mrs. N. sits back and waits for the "right" time, the "right" questions, instead of getting to her daughter "fustest with the mostcst," before any one else. How does she de termine what Terry "should" know? The truth is, Mrs. N., she should know that she can come to you with any puzzle, any piece of nonsense or horror handed out to her, and trust you to label it true or false also, if true, "good to know now" or "will be clear later on." Rest assured that Terry has many questions about sex in her mind, no matter how few she asks . . . Mrs. H., on the other hand, is going overboard in her eagerness to avoid her mother's error. She may be con fusing her daughter rather than enlightening her. And it's a disservice not to impress Eloise with the fact that these confi dences are a "between us" mat ter, to be handled delicately and tastefully, not traded as an attention - getter from play mates. Sex isn't just facts. It's attitudes. 3,042 Students Are Enrolled in District GRANTS PASS - Schools in the Josephine County-Unit dis trict have started the school year with 3,042 students, an in crease of 200 over last year's en rollment, the office of County School Superintendent Thomas W.
