Show All tha news that's lit to print from the Delta Airport By Dick Morrison Little Brother It Is with pride that this column reports the arrival of the newest airport baby, little Alan Leo Bur-rastort, Bur-rastort, who came into this world weighing 6 lbs. 11 Vi ounces on Wednesday, March 3, 1954, at the Utah Valley Hospital at Provo. He is the son of Leo and Lola Bur-raston, Bur-raston, and he has one older brother, brot-her, Lloyd Dean, age 4. His grandmother grand-mother Burraston has come to Delta from Goshen to help look after him. Find Stolen Ccr Two Delta High School seniors succeeded in an unusal aerial exploit ex-ploit last week. They were Carl Baker, pilot, and Reggie Pearson, observer. They set out by air to find a stolen car, and they found it pronto. The car was a new Buick owned by the Pearson boy's parents, Dale and Norma Pearson, of Delta. It had been taken from their home garage just after midnight Tuesday, Tues-day, March 9. The key had been taken out of it, and the thief had shorted the ignition wires. Carl learned of the theft from his friend when they met at school Wednesday morning. The pair decided de-cided right then to undertake an aerial search, so they went to the airport immediately and took off in the Baker Cessna. Their plan of action was to fly around Delta in widening circles, and, if they failed to see the car, to fly to Fillmore and do likewise. It worked remarkably well. They sighted the car before they had completed the first circle around Delta. It was In the county gravel pit northeast of the city dump ground. It shone brightly against the drab surroundings. The two flyers were up only fifteen minutes min-utes before they located it. They returned to town, and with Dale Pearson, Scott Chesley, and deputy sheriff Jack Bennett, drove to the site in Scott's Jeep. The aerial search had been successful, but when the party reached the car, they found it had been damaged dam-aged to the extent of possibly hun dreds of dollars. The upholstery had been, gashed, and large pieces of the foam rubber cushions cut out and strewn about. Take Offs And Landings The Baker family Cessna has been beating a lot of air the past inuncn. ;ot only was it used in the search for the stolon auto, but it carried Carl Baker and Carl Oliver to Cedar City Saturday to see the epic basketball game in which Delta beat Beaver; and it transported trans-ported Fred and Betty to southern Calif., for a deep sea fishing trip, from which they returned March 3. A plane of the Royal Canadian Flying Club from Alberta Canada, landed here last week, bearing pilot and one passenger. It was a Canadian "Fleet", which resembles re-sembles the T-Cratt. Purpose of the flyers was to lay groundwork for possible organization of Club units in the U. S. It is understood this is being done under cooperative coopera-tive agreement" between the two governments. The RCFC is a pilot training outfit which works through the high schools. Students are taught flying, and on completion of the course may either go into military air service, or withdraw by paying 25' of the cost of the course. It is a move intended to alleviate the shortage of pilots, particularly military. The pilot of the "Fleet' 'had flown some 60 hours, and was making a training flight from Alberta to Palm Spring Calif., and return. Archie Searle tells me he recently re-cently sold his Aeronca Champ to a buyer in Salt Lake . This Madness The Checker craze, noted here two weeks ago, is not the only mass diversion to hit Delta this season, nor the most inexplicable. The whole population has gone fun mad. People possessed of the "eat, drink, and be merry" idea would behave exactly as Delta people are currently behaving; and maybe that is the idea they are possessed of. Who knows? While the rougher elements, or those commonly regarded as such by the 'better' 'elements, have settled down to the checker boards in a most sedate manner, said better elements seem to have gone in for rowdiness in a big way, in the form of square dancing I don't care for it myself, and only comment on it because almost everybody else is doing it. I had a narrow escape when La-Vonne La-Vonne asked how I'd like to go square dancing. Having learned from eighteen years experience that if I give an inch La Vonne is likely to take a mile, I answered emphatically that there was nothing noth-ing I'd enjoy worse, and thought that would settle the question, but it didn't. LaVonne talked a-round a-round that she'd be open for dates and both Lee Callister and Frank Beckwlth offered to take her. Of course I can't kick about that as long as they don't try to make me go too. But I think Frank's attitude is wrong. He said he needed extra partners because he could wear out three women a night; and he let the cat out of the bag completely com-pletely when he added that the thing he liked best about it was that it gave him a chance to spend an evening jumping around. In other words, he wasn't so much interested in dancing as in acting like an African Hottentot. However that may be, however, I have it from Don Shields that Frank couldn't wear out three girls like Mabel King in one night. Don says Mabel could wear out any three men that ever tried a dos-ados. Maybe the best way to settle that question would be for Frank to date Mabel, and then see which could wear the other out first. Homer Schurtz says square dancing danc-ing is not for him, and Oscar Kelly is decidedly cool toward the idea, too. But Wilford Munster still goes for it in spite of the fact that he's already earned a purple heart in line of action. Wilford Wil-ford went frontwards when he should have gone backwards, and got it on the shin. He says he didn't know a woman could kick that hard. It's all supposed to prove that people have more fun than any body, but sometimes I wonder. Old Fashioned Virtue This is a preach item, in favor of an old fashioned virtue called thrift. It has gone so far out of fashion that one feels almost silly discussing it, and yet, for those who are tired of hand-to-mouth living, who long for a 'mite of independence in-dependence and security, it holds the only answer. Those who cannot, can-not, or will not, save a little some thing of their substance, in one w way or another, can only hope for the degree of independence and security the government is willing to allot them. A young man asked me what he could do to get ahead. I said, save your money.

Thuri, March 18,1354 Special questions on part-time work and inquiries regarding persons per-sons with a job but not a work will be asked in the March Current Population Survey, according to Supervisor Milton E. Ailred of the Census Bureau's district office at Salt Lake City, Utah. The purpose of the part-time work questions is to distinguish persons who are working part-time part-time by choice and those whose work hours have been cut back because of slack work or other economic factors. The questions on persons with a job but not at work are designed to find out how long these persons have been or expect to be absent from their jobs. The special questions will be asked in addition to the regular questions on employment and unemployment un-employment which are asked each month In the Current Population Survey. Information collected locally loc-ally is combined with that gathered gath-ered in 229 other sections of the country and combined into national nation-al figures on employment and unemployment. un-employment. The Current Population Survey will be conducted during the week of March 14. Local Interviews will be handled by Hazel Cahoon of Delta, Utah. Mr. and Mrs. Otis Walch left Delta Friday to drive to Phoenix, Phoe-nix, Arizona., for a short visit and on to California before their return re-turn home.

If an opportunity comes your way, like a chance to buy a farm or small business or something if you've got a little money saved you may be able to grasp it. Even then, the way to independence may not be easy. It will mean hard self- denial and hard work; maybe you wont make it; but if you can't save up a little something for a "stake, you wont even be able to start. Certain modern theorists like to deride thrift. They call It anti-social, or un-economlc. They are mistaken. mis-taken. The false talk about thrift as a vice can be refuted. The thrifty individual is the respon sible, creative individual. Let no one ever tell you you are under any obligation, moral, economic, or other, to disperse your earnings as fast as you get them. You are not, and the world as well as your self will be the better for your thrift. Admitting that not everyone, nt all times, can be in a position to save, the fact is evident that the majority of American families enjoy en-joy sufficient Income to allow some margin for saving. A great many squander enough money of things transitory value to make them independent. One of the finest qualities of the cultured mind is the power of sensible discrimination. It Is this quality, applied to the decisions of every day living, which holds the key to success through thrift and self denial. Self denial? of what? Usually intelligent saving means self deninl of thing9 not really desired after all; things which bring or not satisfaction once bought. There Is a distinction to be drawn between the standard of llvlng.and the scale of living. The first pertains per-tains to the quality of life; the second to the mere quantity of things bought.. People of moderate means, who develop the power of discrimination, often enjoy a higher standard, and find more real satisfaction In It, than others I of large means whose scale of living is more extravagant, but of lower standard when measured meas-ured in terms of genuine satisfaction.
