Show Mi. and Mrs. Ray Gardner were j Thanksgiving day visitors in Pres-ton, Idaho, with Mrs. Gardner's parents. Mrs. Luella Nickle has been visi-ting for two weeks in Tooele with her daughter, Mrs. Rosabeth MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE Delta, Utah Thurs., Dec. 4. 1952 U the news that's fit to print irom the Delta Airport by Dick Morrison IRAIL BLAZERS Would you like t0 discover the rti, Pole, and do it with dis-patch, in safety, warmth and com-firt- ? If so, by next spring, all you'll eed to do is buy a ticket from ? Angeles to Denmark and then climb aboard a DC-6- of Sandan-avia- n Airlines. The trip will take little less then twenty hours of flving time, in addition to about four hours for refueling and ser-vicing the plane at two ground stations. The airline made a trial flight over the route last month and expects to start regular ser- -' viCe before many weeks. for a few more discoverer generations, the of America might have sailed on the Queen Mary or the Normandie. Of course he couldn't have sailed on the United Slates because our country would have remained undiscovered then Lewis and Clark followed the Missouri and the Columbia into the Oregon Territory in 1803, when the going vvtas extremely rough A few years later, they or their suc-cessors, could have driven over modern highways in a Buick. Stanly and Livingstone could bet- ter have explored Africa in a Jeep while Ferdinand Magellan could have left the circumnavigation of the globe to the late Bill Odom who did it faster. The trouble with all this is probably, that the 'fellow who could await the easy, sure way would find himself outpaced by the hardier sort who would exploit The exploit gives rise to two lines of speculation. First, it may be quite confusing to the traveler to leave Los Angeles then fly of endless night or, in season, of swiftly northward, enter the realm the never-settin- g sun, above the Arctic circle, reach the point where for a 'fleeting moment, any direct-ion he could point would be south, and then a few hours later move into the normal world of days and nights again and land in Europe. Second, how much easier it would have 'been for Peary or was it Cook? to reach the pole if he had awaited the development of the modern airplane instead of doing it the hard way land mushing over hundreds of miles of snow and ice with the help only of Es-kimos and dog sleds. For that matter, why coudn't the trail blazers of all the ages have profitably postponed their endeavors until new and better means were developed? Take Columbus. It took him more than two months to cross the uncharted sea. If no one had bothered to attempt the crossing wnaiever means he had, as soon as he could, and reach the goal, if not easily, at least first, and slake out his claim on the new frontier to the exclusion of his more sensible, less adventurous fellows. It is as if the competetive na-ture of man compels him to bend every effort to reach and go be-yond, all the frontiers he can see and dream of, now, the hard way, rather tlnan sit on his hands while awaiting some better way, and while waiting get left behind the procession of progress. IN THE MONEY Utah people may see the sig-nature of a woman very well known to them, nearly every-where they go, shortly after the first of the year. Mrs. Ivy Baker Priest, who has been chosen by General Eisenhower to be Treas-urer of the United States will have her monicker on all the new paper money printed after she takes office. The other new name on the money will be thiat of George M. Humphrey, of Ohio, the new Secretary of the Treasury. It seems the offices of Treasurer and Secretary of the Treasury are two different things. Both are pres identianl appointive positions, but the former Is largely administra-tive, while the latter deals with policy. Mrs. Priest has said that her own check book always balances, and we may reasonably expect that she will conduct the affairs of the Treasury in as orderly manner as she keeps her own check book. IMPROVEMENT, AT LEAST The recent blood-lettin- or rath-er, more seriously the gathering of blood for the blood bank for the armed services, under the Red Cross kept our household in a turmoil for some little time be- - injured. He was taken to an Eng-lish hospital, and after skilled treatment and several blood trans-fusions he was on the road 'to recovery. One day his doctor asked him how he felt. "I feel like you've made me a better man than I was before ' said the Nazi. "We probably have," replied the doctor. "We filled you up with a lot of good Jewish blood in those transfusions." WHERE AM I? In keeping with the custom of VIP's to cover their movements with a cloak of security, I am asking the Chronicle to impose a news blackout of my travels for the next while. For security reas-ons, I feel it best to postpone tell-ing where I'm going, and when, until I get back. In making the trip to Los Angeles I feel that if anything terrible should happen to me it could only be because some-one had leaked, if I may use that quaint expression so popular with government security personnel. Of course if nothing terrible happens but something interesting does, I'll write it up on my return. The degree of secrecy blanket-ing this thing will be overwhelm-ing. For all you know, dear reader, maybe I've already gone. You do not know whether I really have or not do you now? See? On the other hand, maybe I'll go next week, while on the third hand (if you can imagine three hands), perhaps I've already come back. Who knows? I don't, and the more I write this confusing item the less sure I am even of where I am now, let alone where I'll be by the time this is printed. But then, who cares?what? You don't? Hmmmm . cause La Vonne that's my wife is lan active Red Cross worker. Of course the effort is well worth the making, being for a most ur-gent and deserving purpose. It de-served all the support it got Urorn local people, who in turn, deserve thanks. But for the moment, it may not be amiss to treat it lightly, be-cause it called to mind a wartime story of a Nazi officer and high British doctor, which bears a moral that packs a wallop. It seems the German pilot was shot down over England, and our Nazi was not killed but seriously . . .
