Show Millard County Chronicle 8 Delta, Ut., Thurs., Nov. 10,1949 short he was the type of person who could turn his capacity for clear thinking into almost any line he chose. He is best remembered for his paintings, the Last Supper, and Mona Lisa, but the Da Vinci work we shall consider here is that pertaining to the helicopter. Da Vinci is credited with being the first man to experiment with models of a machine designed to rise vertically, in other words, he made model helicopters. His model mioht have worked except that from Wm. Willoughby.One of these taken approximately over Harry Crane's house, shows the grain ele vator, the Clays Cahoon house, the Merritt Floyd house. The photo fin ishers stamp on the picture shows the date, June 7, 1932. There are only minor differences between the autogiro and the heli-copter. The 'giro has small airplane wings, with a four-blade- d windmill overhead which is started in mot-ion by the ship's engine, but which is then disconnected source and maT Sth.. motion without D',ns m' This rotary mot&H "j, foils from stalling Ps W descent. 0l" in v:.

Nels and Louise Bogh took Rod-ney and Elvie Parker for a short ride in the Aeronca sedan Sun-day this being Elvie's fledgling flight. The party flew' over Scipio enjoying the autumn scenery, wh-ich, incidentally, is well worth anyone's time these days. When they reached home, the two small daughters of the Boghs, who are decidedly air minded, made such a fuss that Nels had to take them out to the airport for a plane ride, too. Pilot Floyd Wardlow, accompan-ied by his father, Ray Wardlow and cousin Don, flew his Travel- - aire up from Long Beach to spend pheasant hunting days with Jess and Ruth Done. They set down on the airstrip on the Done farm at 1200 Saturday. Floyd's mother, Myrtle Clark Wardlow, of Long Beach, is a sister of Dick, Rufe, and John Clark of the north tract, and Callie Morrison. Floyd lost his left arm some time ago, when it caught in the belt of a threshing machine. He pilots his plane with one arm; and holds a flight instructor's rating. Sunday he piloted Jess Done's Aer onca Chief on a scenic flight over the west desert. The party expect-ed to fly back to Long Beach Mon-day. Dr. and Mrs. A. L. Alexander, tor mer Deltans, with their daughter arrived Saturday from California for a visit with Jess and Ruth Done. While practicing in Utah California tloast, and the interact-ion of the two has resulted in hot winds blowing westward off the California desert, over the coastal cities, toward the ocean. Californ-ian- s call these rare, hot east winds Santa Annas. The net result of this meteorological situation is that we are enjoying unseasonably pleas-ant weather and Los Angeles is sweltering in temperatures be -- tween 90 and 100. FLYING WINDMILLS . . . Leonardo Da Vinci, who lived from 1452 to 1519, and so was alive when Columbus discovered America, was not only a great art-ist but was also a mechanic and engineer. As if achievement in those lines was not enough, he was also a sculptor, architect, mus ician, art critic, anatomist, botan-ist astronomer and geologist. In some time ago, Dr. Alexander cus-tomarily flew between his two of-fices in Delta and Milford, piloting a DelAero plane. Roger Tucker took his familiar-ization flight Sept. 12, in starting his course as a student pilot. D. E. Johnson of the communicat ions station has been transferred to a new station at Areata, Cal. Stewart A. Smith formerly of Nee-dles, Cal., is being transferred to Delta, replacing Johnson. NEW DIRECTOR . . . Frank R. Murray, private flier and former airline executive, has been appointed to succeed' Joe Bergin as state aeronautical director, ac-cording to the Deseret News, Nov. engines capable of supplying the needed power were not invented until several centuries later. As a successor to Da Vinci, Igor Sikorsky in 1910 built a power heli copter that worked. Others work-ed with this type flying machine in the following years, while Sikor sky worked with airplanes until in 1940 he resumed work on the vert-ical lift machines. In 1941 he kept one aloft, practically motionless, for one hour and a half which was was a world's record for sustained flight going nowhere at zero mph. Helicopters, Inc., of Palo Alto, is producing, commercially, an air am bulance designed for emergency re scue and pick-u- p work. The French government bought the first two for use in Indo-Chin- a. The CAA has approved their new Hiller 360 air ambulance recently demonstrat ed San Francisco. The Salt Lake Tribune and Tele-gram in cooperation with the Kemp and Kelsey Air Service of Salt Lake, last week announced that they would maintain a heli-copter for air rescue and photo-graphic service. Their new mach-ine made its debut at the U. of U. stadium last Saturday when it set down on the 50 yard line before an audience of 20,000 football fans bearing the U. homecoming queen Kathleen Parker. Pilot Odis A. Kou nalis handles the 'copter. While the 'cop-ter is the only one now stationed in Utah, it is not the first flying windmill to visit Utah. Away back in 1932 an autogiro stopped at Delta, in the course of a barnstorm ing tour, and took passengers on short flights. Your faithful corres-pondent was one of the passengers who went up, little dreaming that he was then preparing a story for a future Wingover. This early 'giro landed at the first Delta airport, which was on the bluff just above the sugar warehouse. During the flight some pictures were taken, with a camera hastily borrowed 4. Mr. Murray moved into his new office in the state capitol Friday. The dispatch did not make clear the reason for Mr. Bergin's re-signation, except a suggestion that policy differences between Mr. Ber-gin and Gov. Lee resulted in the shake up. D. H. Wittenburg of the state engineering commission praised Mr Bergin's work in promoting aviat-ion in Utah during his tenure in office. UNUSUAL WEATHER . . . The weather and the meterorol-ogica- l forces that make it, are al-ways subjects of immediate inter-est to fliers. The fine, clear warm Indian Summer which we have en-joyed for some days past is the re-sult of a rather unusual situation of the air masses over the western U. S. Utah's fine weather is to bla-me for a heat wave in Los Angeles. That is, it is partly to blame. An unusual nt "warm -- high" pressure area exists over Utah and Nevada. An equally un-usual "cold low" exists off the TRAIL TALK by "River Jack" We are fortunate in being pla-gued with just a few plants that act as skin irritants. Poison Ivy, Poison Sumac and Poison Oak are the most severe and are claimed by some to be one and the same plant with vari-ations. Be that as it may, one of the three are to be found when you are least expecting it and where ever you might be. All 3 are described as having whitish or greenish-whit- e berries, all three become brilliantly colored in the Autumn and all are equally as dangerous to the skin. The Ivy and Oak are identified by three leaves; three, a sign of danger. The Sumac has a compound leaf. Treatment is most successful if started immediately after contact. Washing with strong soap four or five times will remove most if not all of the poisionous resin. If blist-ter- s or rash appear before you know you have been in contact, a paste of soap will be the best bet on the trail. Epsom Salt Packs, Calamine Lotion and Witch Hazel are helpful if you have them for packs.
