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,-

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.

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

diamonds were taken in two dar

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.

laws took eltect, including a con
troversial statute aimed at stop

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

I husband to show me that it's

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.
