Show One Messerschmitt Will Fly AgainMaybe! By DONALD THORNTON United Press International John W. Calers ENCINO, CALIF. garage is big enough to hold four cars, but his familys sole vehicle hasnt en- tered it in two years. Caler, a slightly shaggy-hairepublisher and dealer in technical and educational journals, enlarged the garage fourfold in 1967 and what it presently houses would make any air buff drool. It's a hot rod of sorts, Caler says, and the only one of its type left in the world thats privately owned. Caler, 36, is the proud owner of a Messerschmitt 109G, the last version of Willi Messerschmitts 109 series which was the mainstay of all German World War II fighter operations and one of the most successful German fighter planes. The Germans manufactured 32,000 of the 109s and they first appeared in the summer of 1942 over Russia and North Africa. Thereafter, the Germans used them extensively in all war theaters until the Third Reich was defeated. The 109s, which cruised at 300 miles per hour and had a top speed of 425, produced many of Germanys flying heroes. Most notable was Marseille, who shot down 158 allied aircraft, including 17 in one day, in North Africa before his death in 1942. His yellow Messerschmitt developed engine trouble and crashed. Versions of the plane are still in use today. From 1935 to 1960, the small craft, one of the fastest of the Luftwaffe, was Imanufactured under license to the Spanish air force. But few of the planes built for the Third Reich survived the war and Calers is believed to be the only one being restored to fly again. For the past two years Caler, a flying enthusiast since he was 12, has been rebuilding the craft with limited finances and the help of other enthusiasts. It should la ready for flight in about 'a year if all the parts fall together and if The wings, which Caler thought would be the hardest to come by, were the easiest to obtain. A friend, who works for a technical museum in Prague, located and shipped a set of original 109G wings to Caler. The engine is in fine shape and the fuselage restoration is coming along on schedule. But the missing tail section is a drawback. 1 hope to find a fellow who may have brought back a rudder as a souvenir," Caler said with a smile. He estimates he has sunk at least $3,000 into the project and it will take another $3,000 to get the plane into flying shape. Hans-Joachi- Money has been a major problem but another necessity is a person who has a knowledge of planes of this sort, or a John W. Caler works in 4-c- ar my business finances boom it could be much sooner, the former actor and stuntman said. Caler smiles with pride as he tells how he found and obtained the 199G. Antiquarian aeronautical literature is my hobby, and at one time I had the largest collection of aviation material in garage which houses the Messerschmitt 109G which he is restoring. was sold to a Federal Aviation Authority the country. After the war the Air Force found this one in almost new condition and Air Force shipped it to Base in Ohio for evaluation. The plane: later ended up at the Georgia Tech Department of Aeronautical Engineering and shortly thereafter Wright-Patterso- (FAA) employe. According to Caler, the FAA man planned to exhibit the plane, which was then in flyable condition. Unfortunately, because of ill health or mischance, there was no place to n store L. mechanic who worked on them in the war. I have all the technical information and drawings, but the work goes slow. Caler doesn't plan to make the first flight in the bird when its completed. It should be a fellow who can feel immediately if anything goes wrong. I have a private pilots license, of course, but I wouldn't want to endanger the craft, he said. And what does Caler plan for the after its restoration? Ill take it to air shows and share it with other fly buffs. It should be flying, instead of in a stable of darkness, like a museum."

Check special services for dry cleaning, , laundry, mail, etc. Be sure toilet articles are available. Arrange for ice, water and food, if appropriate, to be in the rooms of the party upon arrival. The chairman of the group may want a suite of rooms and should be specifically asked. It would be well to arrange for an extra room at the hotel to be used for office space or private lounge. . . .

Barker Jr., will seek' another term. Parks Commissioner Conrad B. Harrison, with nearly 10 years of commission service behind him, also is considered a sure candidate for reelection. So far, however, neither incumbent has formally ' expressed intent to run again. In fact, there is only one avowed candidate in sight Christian P.

Hogensen, the municipal election date will be- Nov. 4. For those communities which hold primary runoffs, should suffi- cient candidates file for city office, these will fall on Oct. 21. In terms of the usual political campaign, neither date is far off. But so far, the only clearly discernible political signs have been those of apathy and week.

The same situation is reported to be true of Richard Maughan, who was the candidate in 1968. Both may be more interested Dutch Uncle It has become almost difficult these days to pick up a magazine that doesnt have an article directed to the subject: "Campus Outlook More Turmoil, or Riots, or Trouble, or Some- thing." The articles are concerned with generalities, but the time has now arrived when the Campus Outlook could have as a subhead: Revolution Coming in Music Teaching. At the national convention of the Music Educator National Conference (MENC) in Seattle a year ago, one of the most significant developments was the unexpected popularity of the workshops and panels about stage bands, cimboa, and jazz. By the end of the week-lon- g convention, an auxiliary unit was created for the stage band and jazz directors. Youth Music Project Now a four-we-k has just concluded at the University of Wisconsin in Madison that attracted music educators from across the land. ' And the concensus seems clear, that a revolution of one kind or another (and MUSICAL WHIRL lets hope that it is the is Inevitable. non-viole- nt kind) Here are some excerpts from some of the speakers, Gary Burton, the jazz vibraphone genius, told it, as Leonard Feather, said, Tike it Is." You music educators teach nothing more than what was taught you 30 or 40 years ago. It makes no sense to force young people today to play according to your own fixed, obsolescent standards.

His explanation and description of a puppet was just great. I always thought a puppet was any married man. And my wife thinks all the dummies coming to town are the Jones reunion. The reason for all the ado about puppets is that Puppeteers of America are holding their 22nd annual festival in our valley starting Monday. It will bring together the greatest puppeteers from not only the U.S. but the world. Daniel Llords, president of both the U.S. group and the international group, will be here. He is to puppetry what the Tabernacle Choir is to singing. Hes been around the world more times than an astronaut . . . a n international Mr. Llords favorite. His personal manager, a guy named Jones, wrote to Mrs. Glenn Beeley of Pioneer Craft House about some of the experiences around the world with Mr. Llords. Jones has no first name, by the or is it no last name . . . just way Jones. He says that in Spain and Portugal, the audiences were so enthusiastic that they threw flowers onto the stage. Young ladies ran to the stage to kiss Mr. Llords. Thats why there is no business like show business . . . and did Jones get his per cent of the kisses?
