Women Flyers 11 Mark" Delta Airport Runway The "99's" was founded in 1929 and one of the founders was Amelia Amel-ia Earhart. The organization is national in scope and each state's unit is called a Chapter. Utah's Chapter has membership of approximately ap-proximately thirty-five. Chapter Chairman is Lila Fielden, a career woman who flies every chance she has. "How did you get started in flying?", she was asked. She replied re-plied that is was the realization of a lifelong dream. She began in 1965. Joan Williams is Vice Chairman Chair-man and Vivian Yardley, Treasurer. Treasur-er. Two of the Utah Chapter members, mem-bers, Alberta Nicholson and Mau-rine Mau-rine Richards, competed in the recent re-cent Powder Puff Derby, a cross country run. One of the main functions of the organizations today is to mark runways for painting by other crews. This is performed all over the United States by Chapters of "99's". Incidentally, the name "99's" stems from the fact that the first chapter had 99 members. Typical of the members are Vivian Viv-ian Yardley and Darla Townley. Both are homemakers who took up flying because their husbands are pilots. "If you can't lick 'em, you join 'em," they both smiled. Vivian is a pert brunette with a winning smile. She is the mother of three children. Two are married and a nine-year-old son at home keeps things humming. Darla, a blonde that keeps in shape by gardening, is the mother of five children whose ages are from 7 years to 19. Just prior to the Powder Derby, the Utah Chapter was at St. George marking runways, etc. St. George was a scheduled stop for the derby participants. Arrangements to have the "99's" assist with the completion of the airport were made thru the efforts of Councilman Burraston. The painting will be done by one of the local road crews'.

U own naivn By INEZ RIDING MAKE BELIEVE Adults, like children, indulge in make-believe. One of my favorite make-believes is that I'm standing in front of a group of local telephone tele-phone officials and I'm saying, "Gentlemen, I have a proposal to make." One of the officials answers, "Let's hear it." And I continue "I boost the number of subscribers on our line to 25 if your company will agree to free telephone service to us all." Alas. The make-believe always ends there. The proposal tends to leave the officals speechless. GIFT EXCHANGE "I'm just checking to see ;f you're here. I'll be right back.
