This has been especially discouraging dis-couraging to Brinker-hoff Brinker-hoff Drilling as the road to the Roost and beyond, to the rig on Sams Mesa, has been thaw ing enough to be almost impassable to motor vehicles, especially es-pecially pickups and station wagon crew-cars. crew-cars. Our .shop is starting reassembly on a Franklin Frank-lin engine for a Siinson from Provo. We will be happy when it is finished and one as old planes present problems--for the shop in finding parts ' etc.. and most often a big one for the owner in finding money, as these jobs entail a lot of time and handwork. We are also manufacturing manu-facturing our second and improved version of the , ULY (ultra low vol- time; spray system that i we have developed. We, like most people, ' will be glad to put aw-i aw-i ay our winteriation ! gear and equipment, and a little sunshine looks good. Two planes were wea- thered in Sunday, their ' pilots and passengers i finding another means of transportation to Price and Salt Lake I City. One of them was from the Alder Construction Con-struction Co. of Salt Lake City, carrying Mr. and Mrs. Jack Alder, who had come down to bid on the new water plant. Mi s. Alder mentioned men-tioned she used to teach school here, but Lee Holland was the only pupil she could remember. remem-ber. We called Lee. and he came over to visit while they were waiting for the bus. It must have been good visiting, the.v let the bus pull out without them. I suffered a minor disappointment in not being able to fly this week to Saskatoon with Johnny Sparks, pilot for the potash plant in Moab. on a routine trip. When he makes a long trip, he has to have a copilot co-pilot and we have all been filling in. I wanted to go this time particularly, particu-larly, because the Douglas Dou-glas DC3 we have just purchased is in Saskatoon, Saska-toon, and I wanted to look it over. I had to attend a meeting with the Aeronautics Commission Com-mission in Salt Lake City Ci-ty and couldn't go. Had a little FBI activity ac-tivity here this week. une ol the Brinkerhoff hands had. we were told, kidnapped a girl and had brought her here, where the.v had rented an apartment. ap-artment. The parents finally fi-nally located her. and the plane radioed ahead and asked that the girl be brought to the airport air-port to save time. Local Lo-cal authorities would not release her unless one or both of her parents were aboard the plane. After it landed, and both were aboard, the girl was taken back home by plane. Authorities. I understand, under-stand, set up a roadblock at Temple Junction and arrested the fellow who was on his way home from the rig. |
