LADY COMMUNICATOR ... ' Because most of the CAA com-municators are men, it is refresh-ing to note that the most recent transferee to Delta airport is Mrs. Janet Donahue, who last week took up her duties as aircraft com municator here. This gives the watch house the feminine touch it has not enjoyed since Miss Brad ley left, nearly a year ago. Mrs. Donahue comes here direct-ly from Red Bluff, Cal. Before that she worked in a Nevada station, and she says this area reminds of that. She was once a student pilot, but has not soloed out. She has four hours dual. Mrs. Donahue and her daughter, Linda ,are staying with Mr. and Mrs. Emil Pearson. TAKE OFFS AND LANDINGS . . . Bill Tolman and Blaine Taylor flew to Vernal in the sedan a week ago. Heavy weather made their return through Provo canyon inadvisable; Spanish Fork canyon was shrouded in, so they flew on south around Nebo. , Stuart Smith has received his private license. Glen Rawlinson has been mak-ing a study of the theory of flight, which he says has proved most in-- 1 teresting, and he contemplates tak ing flying lessons. A jet flying too high to be seen contacted Delta Radio Sunday, and reported the tops of the cumulo-nimbus clouds at 28,000 ft. The pil- ot knew whereof he spoke, be-cause he was there. 28,000 ft. is high. It is about as high as the highest mountain peak, Mt. Ev-erest, on the frontier of Tibet. Del Fuhriman, state aeronautical director, dropped in last week on business. PARATHION POISONING . . . Reports in the Salt Lake papers concerning parathion poisoning str-ess the need of using extreme pre-cautions in handling and applying this insecticide. While the need for such precautions on the part of people working with parathion, and living near fields sprayed with it cannot be some reports sem to over stress the dan-ger to the community as a whole. Delta is not being wiped out by a poison gas attack. ' Leo Burraston says that Para-thion is not being sprayed from Del-Aer- o planes. A news item Sunday said that a Delta child had died in a Salt Lake hospital as a result of this poison, but the report did not name the child, and no report had been made to the Chronicle of this by Sunday night. We hope the item was in error. The most serious case of para-thion poisoning so far known here is that of La Var Owens, who was flown to Salt Lake for treatment on July 30. Mr. Owens was home, apparently recovered, over two weeks ago. He applied parathion on his fields with a Jeep sprayer, and some poison came in contact with the skin of his arm. Some cases of mild illness have been reDorted. also. The news magazine, Pathfinder, acknowledges a "bias" that seems worth quoting: "Pathfinder Bias. We favor the American ideal of freedom for in-dividuals. We oppose statism and totalitarianism in all forms. We believe we can best support free-dom by printing facts without bias because we think that al the facts are on the side of freedom". That is refreshing in this age of propaganda, when slanted news is presented under the guise of ob-jectivity; when even the front page make up of newspapers is design-ed to influence minds by playing up some news and playing down other; when subversive causes are served by periodicals which consis-tently smear all who oppose the subversives; when the arts of praising with faint damns and damning with faint praise are us-ed to mislead readers whose con-victions are not secure. Yep, folks, ya really gotta be on your toes to keep from being led astray these days.
