Eb Stapley and two other officials of-ficials of the state fish and game dept. flew out over the west mountains Monday to make a count of antelope. Roy Austin, of Ogden, recently signed for a course in flying at Delta airport. Mr. Austin is owner own-er of sheep now wintering in west Millard. He has occasion to commute com-mute between the desert, Delta and Ogden quite often during the winters and expects a private plane to save him a lot of time. Word going the rounds has it that Ray Steele may be assigned to work in the Los Angeles area, rather than Salt Lake, after the closing of his old AMT headquarters headquart-ers here Dec. 31. After .many months, it appears that a relief man may soon be assigned to Delta communications restoring the crew to five men. Perry Harritt, who worked at Delta Del-ta airport several years ago has, reportedly, been scheduled for the job. He may start work here in about six weeks. Hi Jinks Following their old custom, CAA communications people have been disporting themselves during the holiday season by sending pictures poems, and essays, sacred and profane, pro-fane, over the telephone wires. The billboards at the INSAC house have taken on the aspect of an art gallery, being covered with such items as a reindeer, done in what might be called typo-engraving a picture of the IDS temple, tem-ple, a Madonna, and a Last Supper, Sup-per, as well as a man on skis, gracefully floating through the air. The pictures, at least the ones posted are predominantly of Christ-man, Christ-man, snow, and sacred subjects. Not so the poetry, and essays. Th all-sUitions special forecast cain over the wire, us usual, with its p.-eJiction vt "HVY ALCOHOLIC ALCOH-OLIC HAZE OYEn ALL STNS WITH M1DDAFTN FOLLOWED BY SYR HA.nGOYERS BY NIGHTFALL. We've soon that one before. In fact, we've printed it. Santa Clans' flight plan was received re-ceived at Delta Dt-c. 21, at exactly exact-ly TO: 17 AM, as follows: 'ALL INSACS: NP1S53 SLEIGH-RIDE SLEIGH-RIDE CLAUS NORTH POLE VI F-T.Wii F-T.Wii ALL INSACS UNLIMITED P-ll'UONPr P-ll'UONPr 1C plus 00 2 BALES NOH- IV CARGO GOOD CHEER". CAA received so many calls concerning con-cerning the flight that the following follow-ing info was issued: "INREQ. FLT BIGHORN. S SHORT WHITE TAILS ONE RED NOSE. ONE FAT JOLLY PSGR. ALL TYPES CARGO.

Unofficial, and therefore not to be believed, was this poem, entitled, "Dear Children".

THIS YEAR I'M MAKING MY TRIP ON A DONKEY HE'S OLD AND HE'S LAME AND HE'S SLOW, SO IF I DON'T SEE YOU ON CHRISTMAS YOU'LL KNOW I'M OUT ON MY IN THE SNOW. Then there was the sentimental little poem entitled "Christmas Eve", done in the German equivalent equiv-alent of pidgeon English. Just a stanza, to give you an idea: DER NEXT NIGHT VAS CHRISTMAS CHRIST-MAS DER NIGHT IT VAS STILL DER STOCKINGS VAS HUNG BY DER SHIMNEY TO FILL It was all very clever, and all that, but we have to stop somewhere some-where and this is a good place to do it. Epitaph: "Flew by the seat of Ids pants, Wrong end". ---Cross Country News. Speed-up A bulletin issued by CAA Dec. 17 indicates that federal economy measures may accelerate the change over from the old to the new iu radio navigation systems. ( The rffect will be to hasten the discontinuance of outmoded or less vs.ior.ti al navigation aid and cora-mu:.ieatior.s cora-mu:.ieatior.s facilities. Reasons iivt'ii were: 1. Simultaneous use of two sys-eras sys-eras of air navigation and traffic control 1 1. MF and VII F) results in reduced capacity of both and imposes restrictions on all users oi air space. 2. The Federal Government cannot can-not finance indefinitely the operation oper-ation and maintenance of what is in effect a dual system. ( The bul'etin further states that mnnufacturers production and sale show f iat an increasing number of civil aircraft, are being equipped to use VHF communication and VOR navigation i The changeover from the old low and medium frequency system to the new and better .very high aoquency and omni-range systems was begun a few years aso. Since, at the outset, all aircraft were equipped to use only the old sys-, tern, it was necessary to keep j it in use while the new facilities! were being installed by CAA, and j for some time afterwards until! aircraft generally could be equip-1 ped with new type instruments. j The new system is vastly superior super-ior to the old. While some critics have argued that it is not the best possible system, the fact remains re-mains that some specific system has to be more or less arbitrarily decided upon, so that ground and airborne equipment can be matched, match-ed, and it is unlikely that a system sys-tem better in every way than the VHF and VOR set-up could be found. The dispute has been comparable compar-able to that raged over which system should be adopted for color television. If a plane's radio equipment, equip-ment, or a videot's TV set were complete unto itself, each buyer could select the system of his preference. pre-ference. But since the individually owned instruments can work only when correlated with the central transmitter, it is necessary for some authority to determine the standards upon which both will operate. It Is for this reason that the principle of individual freedom free-dom of choice had to give way to central authority in these matters. mat-ters. Certain commentators who argued against "arbitrary" dictation dicta-tion by the FCC In the TV controversy con-troversy simply didn't understand this. The original FCC decision in favor of an incompatible system of color TV was wrong, incidentally, incident-ally, but that fact did not prove that some central authority did not necessarily, have to make the decision. it Ways fair wea V i -1 S'm ick ' v V With an ELECTRIC CLOTHES DRYEE!
