Show i J All the news that's fit to print from the Delta Airport By Dick Morrison Take Offs And Landings Don and Dorothy Bothwell are spending a couple of weeks vacation vaca-tion in their home town, Fulda, Minn. They are expected to return about the 22nd. Archie Searle made his solo XC several days ago with out untoward unto-ward incident, with stops at Cedar City, Beaver and Milford. Even though he has not yet logged all the flying required for his private license, Archie has been commuting commut-ing between Delta and his job at Milford regularly for some time, by air. Dick Davis of Deseret, has join ed the group of his friends who took up flying this season. Dick took his famaliarizatron Feb. 26. Hugh "All in one motion" Judd soloed out Saturday. Daryl Cropepr took the Champ up alone Sunday on his first solo flight. Of the other members of the new fledgling class, Don, ladies' man, Morris got in a little general air work Sunday, as did Sheldon Christensen. Bryce Bunker got pitched around rather roughly Sunday with Tex Searle piloting the Cessna. Is was Bryce's second time up, his first i having been nine years ag6. Asked if they did spins, Bryce said he wasn't sure. Tex said no, but coudn't describe the maneuver. However, they did stalls for sure, as the ground watchers can testify- The pilot of an amphibian flying fly-ing a round robin from Mountain Home, Idaho to Montezuma, Ariz., t- a Sited Delta radio about the practicability, prac-ticability, of alighting on Fool Creek reservoir Sunday.

The possibility of getting lost adds to the zest of private flying. Absent mkidedness and carelessness careless-ness in noting landmarks are a- mong the chief causes. One might suppose there would be little chance for a flyer to get lost in a route he has followed many times from the ground, hut things look different from the air, and the direct line o flight is seldom familiar to highway travelers.

The airport? Ah, yes, the airport. Mr. Student has by that time forgotten all about the airport and its where abouts. Must be thataway, he decides. Anyway, he hopes it is. Flyers accustomed to flying over one type of terrain often find it hard to get used to another. For instance, those in the habit of flying over the plain s states, where they learn tricks ot following follow-ing section linos and corners may have difficulty flying in the mountains, moun-tains, where there are no such straight lines to follow. On the other hand, flyers of this area, who get into the habit of picking mountain peaks a hundred miles apart for guide marks, and disregarding dis-regarding lesser things, 'find :t tedious to be forever on the lookout look-out for roads, grain elevators, and race tracks when flying over the plains. (Incidentally, open-air movie lots stand out almost as well as race tracks from the air.) Those who navigate by the seat of their pants across country al ways did run quite a chance of getting lost. Take the two marines of many years ago, that June Hinckley told me about. I can't recall where they were from, or where they were going, but it is certain that, when they took off, they had no intention of landing in Abraham, Utah. Whether they were actually lost or not depends upon the point of view, and from that of the farm hand, they were not. Lost or not, though, they didn't know where they were as they rolled to a stop in a field and walked over to the only person in sight to ask directions. "Where, sir, in the hell are we?" one of them Inquired of the man with the boots and shovel. "Don't you know?" he asked, in credulous that anyone could be so' dumb as not to know where that was. "You've just landed on Dutch Moody's west forty." Death of a Warlord. Stalin died last week. Roosevelt has been dead now almost eight years. Of the allied triumvirate, only Churchhill remains. What a strange, unholy alliance It was that these three formed, in secret intrigue, and otherwise, in a war whose purposes are not yet cear. The three Axis leaders are dead, too. Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo. They all assumed more power than they knew how to wield wisely every one of them, allied and enemy. The world Is not the loser for their passing.

America gained gain-ed nothing of moral stature for its involvement in World War II. On the contrary, it lost much.

But peace was not wanted so much by the stupid, bungling leaders on either side. They wanted want-ed power, and they gloried in war.. We don't owe them any tears. Wm. Henry Chamberlaia, writ ing on the question, Can we es cape From Victory? said, "it is an imperative of American national survival to escape as fast as possible pos-sible from this trap of an abused victory and a bungled peace, to get rid of the evil consequences of Roosevelt's foreign policy as fast as we can."

Recently approved by the beet growers through their representatives, the contract is one of the most favorable if not the most favorable in the nation. Here's what representatives of two regional region-al beet growers' associations said in a letter to members: The Contract "We are well pleased with this contract. The scale will be the same as last year; also the pulp clause will be the same. The tare clause will be revised. No longer will the knife or buffer be used; instead, a machine will be used, which will cut the beet top off just below the main cluster of beet leaves. This point was arrived at by actual test of beets . . . conducted by grower representatives and factory representatives at Sacramento, Sacra-mento, California. This was believed to be the most economical (way) to top the beet for safe storage and sugar extraction." v Letter Is Optimistic About 1953 Beet Growing "We definitely have several things in our favor this year. Some of them are: "The Secretary of Agriculture and several members of his staff are in sympathy with the beet industry. The consumptive estimate is set at a figure that should net us a higher price for sugar. Cuba has agreed to lower her output from 8,000,000 to 5,000,000 tons (3,000,000 tons), or one-third of what the United States consumes. Cuba's labor costs are higher than before, thus making for higher cost of production and easier competition for the beet grower. "Our costs should be down . . . The sugar company assures us that there will be adequate labor, and . . . machines available to mechanize our thinning and hoeing. There is ample commercial fertilizer and improved im-proved seed ... As an association, after studying all factors, we feel justified in encouraging farmers to plant beets on every acre that is suitable for beets." UTAH-IDAHO SUGAR CO.
