Show Winguvcrs All the naws that's lit to print tiom the Delta Airport by Dick Morrison Vsts Plastic And Canvas Dums TAKE OFFS AND LANDINGS Gene Dutson came home to roost at the airport Sunday evening eve-ning lor,2 enough to close ono flight plan and file another. Gene brought Darnae Nielson over from Provo in his Cessna 140, then took off for Provo again at 1750. The night was dark, and Gene's flying fly-ing in it caused Frances Whicker some concern. I got the feeling, warranted or not, that if Frances had had her way, Gene would have been grounded for the night. But all she said was, "Do be careful,' care-ful,' with a worr'ied look on her face. The fact is, though, that Gene is one of the best pilots who ever learned to fly at Delta. He said he had just returned from the Utah-Wyoming area where he had participated in the search for the lost C-46, flying with the CAP. Frances and Cleo Whicker were enjoying a little tour of the INSAC house, Bob Nichols conducting. He showed them something of how teletype, radio and other facilities are used. In that coanection, a look at the inside of the Radio house is something many people might find interesting. It is open to everyone, every-one, and the boys are always glad to explain things when they have time, or let you look if they have not. -Like some other places of interest, you can go in and just look. You don't have to participate unless you want to. If you have a flight plan to file, OK. If not, OK anyway. To get back to the C-46, which was lost in flight to Denver sev eral days ago: there had been no news of it on CAA facilities as of Sunday night. A colonel with the Denver C-aP reported sighting what might be the wreckage near Aububon Peak, Boulder, Colo. However, speculation was that if the plane had reached that point its progress would have been known to radio stations along the way. Carl Baker did some practice flying Sunday evening. Newell Knight and Tex Searle was among those flying Sunday Bill and Ava Starely drove up to the airport and said hello, bring- reminiscences of -the used to take off foi Richfield or elsewhere in the Aer onca sedan, particularly the flight when I realized my old ambition to fly the compass course to Rich field. "Western Seven" checked with Delta radio at 1811 Sunday, flying at 14,000 feet. Perhaps the most pertinent ob servation that can be made about our sweltering January weather is the old saying that it isnt' the heat that causes discomfort, it's the humidity, -s TO THE GREASEBALLS It has been said that if intel ligence consists of the ability to draw a reasonably correct conclu sion from a set of discoverable facts, the mechanics must be the most brilliant people in our soci ety. 0( course the same criterion might be applied to doctors, and A new twist in irrigation is introduced in-troduced in the just-of-the-press Fact Sheet entitled "Easier Irrigation Irri-gation in Utah," printed at the cian oiaie Agricultural v-ouegc- witn nis brother, Bob, this year extension Service, says Ralph Abraham PEGGY FRANKLIN Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Barker were in Salt Lake Tuesday on a business trip.

The way they handle their mistakes, for in stance. As some other observer once said, doctors bury their mistakes, mis-takes, lawyers put theirs in jail, and mechanics add theirs to the bill. However that may be, it seems high time someone paid fitting tribute to the mechanics, as a class whose really skillful labors often go quite unappreciated, whether they be at A & E's, of the airways, or just the common or garden variety of greaseball in the back rooms of car agenceis And since I have been a mechanic I feel few people know their trials, their skills, their tribulations and aspirations, not to mention their depredations, any better than I do The finest tribute I ever paid to mechanics in general was in a letter I wrote to a man with whom I became involved in voluminous eorresDondence as a result of something I said in a Forum letter Just how mechanics ever came to be discussed by us I can't recall but here is what I wrote "And by the way, if you have never had much association with skilled mechanics, I canCll yJ that they are artists by tempera ment. Their trade demands the same qualities that make fine mu sicians the fine touch, the capa city for infinite pain.etc. It takes something for one to run his fin gers up and down a cylinder wait of a worn engine and say, That has four thousandths taper ; a fact which mav be verifed with a cylinder gauge." I might have added that they talk a language of their own, too For instance, if you should hear thnt. hodv and fender man, Don Larson, speak of using his ding ing hammer on a streamlined dolly, dont be shocked. Those 'are only two of the small tools of his trade. I have a number of mechanical friends to whom certain things need to be said, and this is the time to say them. Those not in eluded in what follows may con elude that I just figure they don't need any advice from me To Ed Stewart, first: when you are welding a man's oil pan, or, I mean a car's oil pan. always use a super-cooled acetylene flame to avoid explosions. To Leoyd Lovell: when in doubt, replace both the ring gear and pinion. To Clark Talbot: When in doubt install a new voltage control. Grant Christ ensen: when in doubt, don't do it. Floyd Teeples: if it hasn't got floating power, bolt it down solid. Earl Sagers: You can't smash heavy castings with a small hammer. ham-mer. Use your head. Bill Cook: I agree. There hasn't been a really good car since the four cylinder Dodge. Nate Abbott: Beware the straddle strad-dle bug. Peck Kelly: Yes, the overhead's terrific. Les Welton: Remember "Emory Johnson?" Jerry Justesen: The dubissaries on the majama may be vulcanized on. or else maybe they're just cold patches. Lee Davis: What! Thiry-five dollars dol-lars for labor? Red Van: Take it easy. Fred Clayton: You Just must see those seouvenirs. And finally to one and all: It's about time to knock off and fo have a cup of coffee. Kobe Peterson says he and I are now in the same boat.
