Take Ofls and Landings State Aero Director Har3n Be-nient Be-nient flew in last week to check runways and other items for needed need-ed repairs. Carl Baker, George' Dutson and Archie Searle were among those enjoying the fine flying air Sunday. Sun-day. Little Kathryn and Karolyn Kelson, Kel-son, the young daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Kelson, were reported re-ported ill with chicken pox last week. Ralph is on leave from his job for a few days. Three local boys started flying courses last week. They were Don Morris, who took his familiarization familiariza-tion Jan. 26, and Daryl Cropper and Hugh Judd, who took off Feb. 1. Survival in the Arctic I don't read much fiction, but a story in the Post last week caught my eye, possibly it looked like a flying adventure in the Arctic. It proved to be that. It dealt with one of the eventualities I mentioned men-tioned here last week in the item on the Air Explorer Scouts; how to survive in case of forced landing land-ing in northern wasteland. But it was more than that alone. It was a story which probed deep into human nature, and jQirew a clear contrast between the cynical selfishness self-ishness of the modern civilized man of the machine age, and the selfless compassion of the primitive primi-tive Eskimo woman, to whom life, any human life, was important. Farley Mowatt was the author, and the name of it was The Woman Wo-man He Left to Die. It was the story of Charlie Lavery, "pilot and owner of the war-surplus.- Anson" amphibian, who, "like many pilots, had learned to give his deep alle- giance to a world divorced from man the world of the high, empty emp-ty sky." The woman was Konala, an Eskimo, Es-kimo, whom he had agreed, grudgingly, grud-gingly, to fly south to civilization, eight hundred miles across the barrenlands, so she could get medical med-ical treatment for the "blood cough." When his plane developed engine en-gine trouble, and they were forced to land on a small lake at the "point of no return," the half way point of their flight, his one panicky pan-icky thought was of escape. He knew the sick Eskimo woman could never survive the four hundred hun-dred mile trek to the south. She knew it, too, and as he walked W. la Glenmore you'll find a famous Kentucky straight whiskey that makes drinks completely satisfying drinks with a richness you'll anticipate antici-pate drinks with a flavor you'll fondly remember. Take a bottle home tonight. Pour yourself a little. Sniff it, sip it. Then see if you don't agree. Glenmore Distilleries Company, Louisville, Kentucky. Square Dancing Friday Night There will be square dancing hi the Sulherland ward recreation hall Friday night, Feb 6. Everyone is invited to be there and enjoy the favorite oldtime square dances. j Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Stapley took their small daughter, Anne, to Salt Lake City Friday. The child has been seriously ill, and they took her to a specialist. away, without, a word, she didn't even turn to look. She knew something some-thing else that the white man couldn't survive the journey on foot, alone, either. With only a steel and flint, a knife, a fish line and a few other primitive tools, she could live in the arctic. With his knowledge of mechanics and his love of the sky and the comforts of civilization, he could nut. So it was that ten days later, fifty miles to the south, she found him,' unconscious, and nursed him back to life. Then the two of them started for the Eskimo village to the north. Why, when she must have known she couldn't survive that journey herself, did she first follow him and then show him the way to her home, where he could live until he was rescued? She could never live to reach home again, she knew that. But she could live to save him from his own selfish folly, and that she did. Primitive . people live in closer communion with nature than we do. Life seems to mean more to them other people's lives, that is. Maybe that explains her deed. Or maybe there is sufficient explanation ex-planation in the simple fact that she was a woman, for, primitive or not, life seems to mean more to woman than to man. To quote from the concluding sentences: "The long days together togeth-er had broken doWn the barriers of speech between them. 'These are good boots,' she said simply, 'for I have made them well. And they will carry you to places where the warmth of many hearts will make you grow strong again; for men must have strength to live; and so must women, too. Go when the morning comes and be assured my presence will be near, for even Ino, the spirit within me, cannot live alone.' "That night the dark gales rose . . . When the gray morning came, all warmth was dead, and Charlie was alone once more. This time he did not flee in panic . . ." It was a great lesson the primitive primi-tive woman taught the "civilized" man. Over the years, I've read a few stories that stayed in my memory. mem-ory. This will be one of them. (It seems anti-climactic, but maybe it is just as well here to advise the Air Explorers to go ahead and learn their lessons in Survival, as taught by Mr. Whitney Whit-ney and Mr. Bulkley, because in a pinch they may not be as fortunate for-tunate as the fictional Charley Lavery and have an Eskimo woman wo-man handy to make a fire with a steel and flint after their matches mat-ches get wet). bat you look for in you'll find in Lyniidyl BY MARY JOHNSON M. and Mrs. Carl Larsen of Provo spent Saturday with Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Nielson.
