Show from a bus stop. Lady at the house said Rulon moved to Laclede St. in St. Louis, but was out in the country on his missionary work Sorry I missed him. We took off for Louisville early next morning. Kent Shurtz is somewhere in Ky. Called LDS church and was told he lived at 903 Clark St. in Padu-cah, Padu-cah, Phone P- 5195-J. Called on long distance and talked with Kent a while. Anything I might tell the folks at home? No, everything every-thing OK. Said hhe hears from Rulon occasionally. If Kent and Rulon are as good missionaries as they are grease monkeys they'll win some converts . Wingovcirs ALL THE NEWS THAT IS FIT TO PRINT FROM THE DELTA AIRPORT AIR-PORT DICK MORRISON TWO MISSIONARIES "Being a missionary will make a salesman of me'", wrote Rulon Jones. "We should sell three Books of Mormon a day. You'd be sur-' prised how many people are looking look-ing for something like this". Yes, it is understandable that many people are seeking the solace sol-ace of faith in the chaotic world of today. Want to look-up Rulon in St. Louis. His address was 1735 Ohio St., East St. Louis.

The future will unfold many uses for these engines, both constructive con-structive and destructive uses. all be classified as jet engines, but there are several sub-classifications. Jet engines just begin to come into their own at speeds above the best attainable with the conventional engines and prop ellers. The top practicable air speed for the latter is around oOO mph at up to 40,000 feet. Jets go from there on up, in both speed and altitude. Some types of jet engines are: 1 Turbojet. Air entering at troni is compressed through rotor blades burned with kerosene. Turboqets may deliver 5000 pt and 500 to 800 mph at 40,000 ft. 2. Turbopropjet. This is an adapt ation of the turbojet, with a propeller prop-eller on the rotor shaft. It may develop 400 pt plus 19000 hp on the prop. Used in the XP-81 Consolidated Con-solidated fighter. . 3.

AIRPORT IMPROVEMENTS Whiting and Raymond, contractors, contract-ors, have finished oiling the area between the hangar and the plane parking ramp; and the new cattle guard which we have had to detour de-tour for six months is completed. With its fine long oiled runways, night landing lights, radio weather and communications station, the Delta airport is superior to many big city airports. It is incomparably incompar-ably ahead of the average small town airport. J HOT TRUMPET I Through New Mexico, Texas, iansas & Missouri there had been Storms. Clouds .piled op over St. J.ouis to 40,000 feet; an ominous Inass. Ceiling under them was ab-iut ab-iut a thousand feet. We landed. J In the gloomy dusk we walked libout the busy airport while our Splane was being serviced. Heard fa strange whining wail. The source sour-ce of this sound was the jet en-Igine en-Igine of a new Navy plane called the Banshee. j The Banshee is aptly named. In folklore a Banshee is a supernatur al creature which takes the form jof an old woman, and the wail of 'a Banshee under a window fore l ells the coming of death. I The whining of its ramjet eng-nescame eng-nescame louder as it taxied to the runway. It turned and we could see the infernal fire of its jet tubes; red and purple fire. The wail rose to a high crescendo and changed to thunder as the Banshee Ban-shee took off. The Eanshee is a plane without with-out a propeller. It is driven by the force of its exhaust gasses. Those two ramjets rush her ten miles a minute. A taxicab ride to downtown St. "Louis. Might as well go to the Statler, clean up, have supper and look around town. A night spot with a good orchestra; lets sit at a table and listen to the music. Colored waiter to ge't an order for drinks. Hingball? Sure. Warm up a little. It's raining outside now. Orchestra Or-chestra playing Ellington's Soli -tude; the pianist doubling on the Hammond. The musicians play without scores, good old tunes, sweet and hot. Good drink. Another? An-other? Well - - maybe. Might as well. Then another. Why not? Ever hear music like that? Announcer says they will play a request number. num-ber. Say this is gonna be good. 'Nother drink? The sax was moanin' low. - -The horn took it up, then the drummer grabbed the ball and beat out a hot patter. The truum-pet truum-pet took the solo to a throbbing obbligato on the Hammond organ. Some trumpet ! Some organ! Trum pet wailin' like a Banshee above the drums and bass. Its polished bell reflecting red and purple light Another drink? Naw - - that's not a trumpet, that's a ramjet. Wailin' like a Banshee. Hot stuff. That wailin' Banshee's not the music, it's the airplane. Saint Louis Blues - - Red and purple fire ----- Wailin' like a Banshee ------- The ramjet is a hot trumpet! FANTASTIC ENGINES The jet engine of a Banshee is one of several types of new engines, eng-ines, which surpass our current i-deas i-deas of speed and power by an incredible margin. Horsepower is no longer the measure of their ability. "Pounds Thrust" (PT) supersedes sup-ersedes horsepower (hp) as the unit of measure. Thrust may be translated to horsepower by the formula that one Pt equals one hp at 375 mph. This does not mean, however, that the jet propulsion power of the new engines can be compared with the horsepower of reciprocating engines, because the powe- of the new engines increases increas-es with the velocity of the engine itself. Thus, a jet engine capable of developing 4000 pt would e-qual e-qual 400 hp at 375 mph but at 750 mph its thrust would equal 8000 hp. The faster they go the more power they devolop. The force of their exhaust gas provides the thrust that moves them ahead. The new. ultra-fast engines may |
