Lesson No. 13 SPINS When covered by a glistening When covered by a glistening blanket of while snow and mot tled by highflying clouds the Klnninth country presents a beiiutlful picture from an alti tude of 0000 feel until It starts whirling around beneath you Ilka a huge map on a merry-go-round. We were high above the scattered clouds with a magnifi cent view stretching In all di rections. Tim sunshine crowned Mt. Shasta with a brilliant halo. Everything was peaceful and restful, but we were not up there to enjoy the scenery. I had already been told how to go Into spins pull the ship Into a stall and kirk either right oi left rudder. But I had never before actually bren through the maneuver, n II was nil ww to me when Instructor Sluison stalled the ship, kicked i the right rudder and allowed the plane to start gyrating earthward. This first spin was a short oni Just one turn -and the ef fect was no more startling than a good ride on a roller coaster. As always, there Is no fulling sensation during the dive, but as the ship comes out of it the pull of gravity lets you know in no uncertain terms that you've been dropping like a plummet. Several times, diet demon strated the spins, counting the revolutions for me. Then he let me try. I pul!.-d the nose of the plane as high as It would go ond Just before falling off in a stoll. kicked the rudder. Down we went on one wing, around and around, with the earth spinning In a dluy pattern below. Then I kicked the opposite rudder, pushed forward the stick and brought It up gradually Out we came, with the horizon com ing up ahead to Its normal po sition. It wasn't as hard as 1 had thought. On the wuy back to the air port Chet demonstrated various ways In which pilots go Into spins unintentionally always resulting In disaster when too close to the ground. We waved at Imaginary gal-frlenda In farmyards below, stalled on c'tmblng and gliding turns Just to show me whit not to do. This C.A.A. Instruction In cludes plenty of "don'ts" along with tha rest.

EDITOR SELLS OUT TO TURN FISHERMAN ASHLAND. Jan. 8 OP.Leon rd Hnll,- who frequently identi fied himself In his news and edi torlal columns as "the horse whipped editor," has sold the Southern Oregon Miner at Ash- lnnd to Charles M.

LOCAL HAYS Snow which fell over the past weekend making motor travel hazardous, is fast reced ing, according to a check with the Oregon state highway de partments. There is no new snow, and the three highways, McKcnzle, Diamond Lake and Mt. Hood loop remain closed. The pavement is bare from the Oregon state line to the Fort Klamath Junction, and from that point to Crescent there Is packed snow and ice. The Willamette pass still reports packed snow from the tunnel to The Dalles-California high way. A spring-like sprinkle of rain left a trace of precipitation in the Klamath basin during early Wednesday morning hours. The minimum temperature was 36 degrees, wormcst since Decem ber 21, when the thermometer fell no lower than 41 degrees Tuesday's maximum wos 44. At Crater lake a maximum temperature of 32 and a mi I mum of 27 was reported for Tuesday, with the thermometer registering 32 degrees at 8 a. m. Wednesday. The snow is de scribed as "dry," and all roads are In good winter condition, two-way traffic, and chains ad vised. A m. derate southeast wind was blowing Wednesday morning, skies were cloudy and visibility fair. There was seven inches of new snow bringing the total to 86 inches at park headquarters. THEFT OF DOG'S COAT TOO MUCH Several minor thefts in her j neighborhood were allowed to i go unreported, Mrs. John Artcn of 3430 Boardman avenue said ! Tuesday, but when thieves de-' prlved her dog of Its new turtle- ( neck sweater she decided things ; had gone far enough. Mrs. Arten said her daughter let the small Pekingese out to play in their yard near Altamont drive Saturday morning attired In a green turtlcneck sweater with white stripes on the sleeves. Fifteen minutes later the dog was back without its Christmas present. Wounded swans have been heard to make a musical sound as they sailed to earth, so "the death song of a swan" is not a myth.

THE CAR J British Clean Up Around Bardia; Isolated Pockets Of Italians Still Resist By RICHARD D. McMILLAN United Press Correspondent WITH THE BRITISH ARMY OF OCCUPATION IN BARDIA, Jan. 7 (UP) British cleanup squads roamed the byways of shell-wrecked Bardia Monday, clearing out isolated pockets of Italian "terribill" still resisting in remote gullies around the Libyan coastal base. Other unlta were bringing or der out of the chaos in the huge stocks of war materials seized by the British with the collapse of the Italians. Britain's greatest land vic tory of the war, the capture of Bardia and some 30,000 Italians garrisoned here, added an esti mated 100 guns to her North African stores. The new loot boosted the total artillery pieces captured to nearly 230 since the empire forces started the counter-invasion of Italy's African empire. Another 500 motor trucks fell into British hands. Less than a day after the fall of Bardia many of the trucks already were In use and others were being put in shape for bring ing up stocks, munitions and troop reinforcements. Virtually everything not nailed down was shipped out of town when the civilians evac uated as it became evicnt that the British forces soon would arrive. Villas of the most modem style with white and yellow concrete facings were empty of everything but beds and cook ing utensils. The thoroughness of the evacuation showed that the Italians realized the tqwn was about to fall. However, a captured Italian staff colonel told the British that his coun trymen were greatly surprised at the inrush of the Australi ans "That is a military feat of the highest order," the colonel said. Bardia began to resume some aspect of normalcy with the lifting of the strangle-hold siege and the departure of the Italian prisoners.

Ian't it worth investigating? Come In MARSHALL CORNETT CO. a week all the city's fires were out. Military technicians and staff officers made a thorough study of the Italian system of fortifi cations as exemplified in the Bardia setup. All of the main forts were of concrete five feet thick. They were built entirely under ground, capable of holding 70 men, with nothing but guns peeping from the tops of case ments.
