Year Beginning V-J Day Busiest In Air History WASHINGTON, Aug. 14 (PI t"he 12 months since V-J Day nave been aviation's busiest in nan's 40-odd years of (lying. New military, commercial and private airplane types have made (heir appearance. Air records have fallen like leaves In autumn. The first official steps have been taken along the path to stomlc-powered flight. Aviation is seriously challeng ing the mysterious dangers of compressibility the phenome non of speeds around that of sound. International aviation agree ments took a place in the front Jaycees To Go To State Meet At Monday n i g h t's Junior chamber of commerce business meeting, Al Eighmy was elected to membership.

'Marriage Wonderful' Claims Groom Of 84 SEATTLE, Aug. 14 (P Mar ried two days. 84-year-old Hite lmus, pioneer Washington pub lisher, and his bride, 82, daw dled over a late breakfast at the home of his son today and agreed that "marriage is won derful at our age it makes you feel 10 years younger." The couple, both residents at the Pythian home for the aged, at Vancouver, Wash., were mar ried at his home Sunday. Imus son, Ray, is vice principal of Cleveland high school here. "Life really begins at 80 for us," the bridegroom said hap pily, with a knowing wink at his bride, the former Mrs. Jean nette Carraway. "I really think I feel 10 years younger, espe cially now. Oregon Ranks Tenth In Gold Production WASHINGTON, Aug. 14 (IP) Oregon is now the 10th largest gold producing state, the bureau of mines reported today. Oregon's output has climbed steadily for two years to 2200 fine ounces in June just 22 times the usual monthly produc tion In early 1844. eBSSt On The Beat line of national policy, and world air routes are being flown. The airlines doubled the num ber of planes in use and tripled tne carrying capacity. Private Planes Doubled The number of private planes doubled from about 32.480 to more than 60,000. The number of certified civil airmen in creased In the 12 months by 112,000 to 342,000, or more than ten times the total before the war. The helicopter stepped into civilian clothes along with some two million GI air and ground crewmen. Aircraft manufacturers crossed the great divide between war i ana peace and found tnemseives intact despite the abrupt cancel lation of more than $20,000,000.- 000 (billion) in military contracts. (With the exception of one com pany, every First World war manufacturer was a reconversion casualty.) That is a quick skip through the record. The last item is par-1 ticularly important because of the implication that the Second World war brought aviation of age. Many Unfilled Orders The industry was bankrupt after the previous conflict be cause it had no air transport industry to turn to. It starts its second postwar year this time with more than $1,000,000,000 in unfilled airplane orders, fair ly well divided between civil and military, and its total per sonnel nearly four times that of prewar years. The new planes range from the tiny rocket-powered XS-1, designed to crash through the barrier of compressibility, to the XB-36, a behemoth of more than 130 tons gross weight. A B-29 set a world's distance record of 8198 miles, and an O-80 jet plane flew from Los Angeles to New York in 4 hours, 13 min utes. (But still irking American aviation enthusiasts was the world speed mark of 606 miles an hour held by the British.) New types of turbo-jet engines were brought out, including one which combined both jet and propeller. Some strange aircraft designs to use the new power were in the offing. Among these multi-engined jet bombers are a bug-shaped affair expected to hover like a helicopter or fly at more than 500 miles an hour. Klamath weather is what ap peals to Mrs. Beula Hiatt, who came to Klamath Falls in 1938 from Kansas. According to Mrs. Hiatt, Kansas burns in the sum mer and is buried under snow drifts in the winter. Mrs. Hiatt is treasurer for the local AAA office and has worked there since 1939. She is fond of trav eling and hunting trips but is always glad to return to her home at 1628 Division after each jaunt. Mrs. Hiatt is on Maryellen Wright's federal building beat. Dust Clouds Close .

Homer Angell (R-Orc.) af ter his return from Washington. "The foreign outlook is not encouraging." Angell said. "The unrest in China and the inabil ity of the peace negotiators to develop a harmonious program is keeping our domestic affairs in a state of flux. . . . Once we get treaties signed, we can get back our equilibrium and build a permanent program and care for our foreign relations." Angell predicted 'moderate price control as a result of the new OPA law and the decontrol board. He hailed the govern ment reorganization measure as a great aid to congressmen.
