After months of planning and equipping his Cessna 170 with extra fuel tanks, oxygen and other necessary equipment, Fuhriman took off from the Oakland airport after being forced to completely change his route because of weather conditions. His directional radio failed over the mountains but he continued on only to find severe storm fronts over his proposed route. He landed at Oklahoma City, having used only 85 gallons of his 160 gallon fuel capacity. The next day, after the radio was repaired, he equipment continued on to New York. During his talk, Fuhriman revealed plans for a second attempt at the record, this time a p criss-cross- " non-sto- flight presented in the Sixth ward from Seattle to Miami, which chapel, Sunday evening at 7:00 he proposed for possibly next o'clock. month. slides of archives Seventy-twThe speaker told of some of work and the and temple library his experiences iif aviation since at Salt Lake prepared by the December 26, 1945 when he be made his first solo Genealogical society will flight at the shown.

Too many business concerns and individuals are working on a very narrow and slim margin. The decline in employment, with resulting business losses which a 10 percent decline in gross would cause, could result in millions of families being unable to pay their bills and installment obligations. This could set of a chain reaction, which could send business down 10 to 30 percent more, with a corresponding decline in the stock market, commodity prices, and real estate. In this latter case, the Eisenadministration hower would suffer as did the Hoover administration. In view of this possible serious alternative, I have contacted the leading newspaper publishers as to the attitude of their respective communities. Of these, over 970 have replied as follows: The people of 30 communities are discouraged and want to liquidate; 297 communities are optimistic and want to buy and invest more; 643 are now content and in a strong position, but are waiting until they see how 1954 develops. Due to the results of this survey, I believe the chances are ten to one that at least the first half of 1954 will be fairly good. Below are 25 definite forecasts which, in any case, should prove correct for the first six months of 1954. My forecast for the second six months will appear in this paper next June. 1.
