Show MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE Delta, Utah, Thurs., 20, 1951 Jack Corbett, president of the Rocky Mountain Telephone Assn., and Mrs. Corbett, from Moab, vis-ited the Millard County' Telephone and Telegraph Co., Wednesday, in Delta and Fillmore. They have been travelling for the past two weeks through the Rocky Mt. Assn. territory, visiting independent tele phone companies, in Idaho, Wyo-ming and Montana, prior to the association convention in Salt Lake City next week. Wingovers All The News That's Fit To Print - From The Delta Airport. By Dick Morrison' TAKE OFFS AND LANDINGS . . . Fred Baker and his young son, Dean, put in an hour in their Sunday afternoon practicing takes and landings. Art Rose returned last week from Ft. Lewis, Wash., where he receiv-ed his discharge from the army. He is back on his old job of Flight Service Specialist at the airport. He made the round trip from Salt Lake to Seattle by UAL, in a DC-- and reported a delightful return flight at 17,000 ft, with a good tail wind. The VHF Omni-rang- e is no res-pecter of the Sabbath. It got to acting up Sunday and as a result Grant Workman put in his day of rest getting it back in proper wor-king order. MODERN CHORES . . . Today's farmer speaking: Well, son, things are pretty dry. Guess it's time to seed and milk the clouds." Stalled plane only to the horizon, rather than to dive it, to recover control. This method of recovery is slower, but it results in less loss of altitude, thus being val-uable in low altitude stalls. It was discovered that in one area, most flight examiners were was-ting about 125 feet of altitude in making recoveries from stalls. A report issued August 13 states that in regions where the program has been in effect, there has been a reduction in stall spin accidents, while in other reg-ions there has been an increase. Last year the CAA sent out a specially equipped plane to tour the country and demonstrate the new stall recovery method. It car-ried special angle of attack indi-cators and other sensitive instru-ments. The plane set down at Del-ta duiing its tour and was flown by Nate Ward, Bob Nichols, and other local lights. A lot of private pilots, including myself have not yet obtained their Identification cards as required un-der the new CAA defense ruling. These can be had at CAA head-quarters as Salt Lake Airport. Ap-plicants should take birth certific-ate and small pictures. AIRCRAFT OWNER'S GUIDE . . . An 18 page booklet on operation and ownership of personal aircraft has been issued by the CAA. To get one, send 15 cents to Supt. of Documents, U. S. Gov't. Printing Office, Washington, D. C. It is bas-ed on questions owners most often ask the CAA office o'f aviation safety. EXCELLENT OR DASTARDLY ? ? ? Two members of Utah's Congres-sional delegation expressed diver-gent views on the question of Com munist infiltration in government, in letters I received recently. . Wallace F. Bennett writes, "I have come to realize that Senator McCarthy is not smearing, but he is doing an excellent job of brLng- - FLYS FROM IDAHO . . . Johnny Nutsch reports a delight-ful- l flight from Jerome, Idaho, to Delta last Saturday in the Aeron-c- a sedan. John was called to Jer-ome some weeks ago by the ill-ness of his brother, Raymond and after Raymond's recovery, he sta-yed on at Jerome for a vacation. John says he did the piloting himself all the way 'from Burley to the Rockwell Ranch - - about 90 minutes flying time, while his passengers, Nels Bogh and Leo Burraston slept. He says he hit nary a air bump, the air above Great Salt Lake being particularly smooth that morning. ing to the attention of the Amer-ican people facts that can be doc-umented." Reva Beck Bosone writes, in re-ference to McCarthy's charges, "I am sure that any fair minded per-son must agree that this is a das-tardly approach to what is a very serious problem." Those are their opinions, and you can make your choice. I've made mine. On another point: attempts to make "McCarthyism" is big poli-tical issue, are, in my opinion, a smoke screen. The important thing is not the Tightness or wrongness of McCarthy's method, but the ex-tent of Communist infiltration in the government, and who permit-ted, or encouraged it. GOOD AIR . . . I indulged in a little landing practice Sunday afternoon. The air was cool and smooth, and the lan-dings the best I've made for some time. The net result was the re-turn of the old urge to take off for the west mountains, or maybe for Richfield by compass course, or for Salt Lake - - anywhere. It wouldn't matter where, just to en-joy the feel of the plane climbing into the wild blue yonder again, its wings buoyant on the smooth, cool, firm autumn air. This is the season for good fly-ing; 'from now until winter, and in the winter, too, on the clear cold days. It's fun to take off on a frosty morning and climb up and up to ten thousand feet or maybe more, alone perhaps, or with some one, and see the early snow on the high mountain peaks glisten in the morning sunlight. STALL RECOVERY . . , A while back the CAA inagur-ate- d a program of of pilots in the technique of re-covering from stalls. The new tec-hnique is to drop the nose of a A party was held at the home of Mrs. Sebrina Ekins in honor of Glenda Cropper who has recently returned home from a mission. A delicious lunch was served to Glen-da Cropper; Howard Roundy, Ver-len- e Stevens, Howard Mc Intosh, Helen Black, Daryl Cropper, Elvin Tanner, Kathryn Ekins, Pat Pratt, Craig Tanner, Bonnie Riding, Robinson, Lula Hilton, Neil Swensen, Gene Ekins and lone Christense.n. Games were played and a good time' was enjoyed by all. SALE ..SHOTGUN SHELLS AMD RIFLE AMMUNITION AMMUNITION Reg.

DOINGS AT DESERET Threshing is now underway by those who have been fortunate in having their lucerne seed harvest-ed before the heavy frosts of the last two nights, which greatly da-maged that which was not ripe. There is no doubt that thousands of bushels have been injured, as the greatest bulk of the crop was unripe. Tender vegetation has also suffered. Threshing is going on, and the farmers who have been fortunate in gathering in their ripe seed are rejoicing in their bounte-ous harvest. Mr. and Mrs. V. W. Kelly have moved down to their homestead in west Delta. While is has been expected that our baseball team might go over to the fair, our young men can hardly leave the pressing work that is before them . THE HOLDEN MAIL ROUTE . We note in a recent issue of your article regarding the move being made to change our mail route to run from Delta instead of Oasis to the east side of the coun-ty, and the statement made that the proposed route from Oasis via Holden "would probably not be considered at all". In all fairness we would be glad to know the reasons for being so prejudicial toward our town. If the writer will take pains to investigate the matter a little we think he will admit that Holden has not had a fair deal, as regarding her mail service for many years. We believe that evey town in our county should be entitled to a fair service between each other and especial-ly to our county seat. With our present service both Scipio and Hoi den can mail a letter to Salt Lake City, 150 miles distant from Hol-den, and get an answer in the same time (three days) that we can go to Fillmore (ten miles dis-tant) and to Meadow it requires four days to write and receive an answer (distance eighteen miles) ' John Wood THE DOING AT DELTA Water will be turned out of the canals on Oct. 15, when the work of enlarging the canals will be commenced. Their present capac-ity of 112 second feet will be in-creased to 352 feet. This will give ample water for all needs of the tract. Dr. Harsh's residence on West Clark street is completed and his family has moved in. J. D. Pace of Salina has been in Delta visiting his son, L. D. Pace. A surprise party was tendered to Jacob DeBree by the people of West Delta at his new home. A very enjoyable evening was spent which closed with dancing. . Louis Koch, now has charge of our amusement hall and it will doubtless be well taken care of. DELTA COMPANY MAKING GOOD Mr. Geo. A. Snow, vice presid-ent and general manager of the Delta Land & Water Company, in company with Prof. Lyman have returned to Salt Lake after devot-ing two days to a general inspec-tion of the the Delta Company's project, including the correct spill-way and main canal system. Mr. Snow states that he has authorized the immediate constru-ction of the entire canal system for the South Tract, comprising some twenty or twenty-fiv- e miles of canal, also concrete headgates are to be installed. The company's field engineer, Mr. Cottrell, has been instructed to receive bids for this construction, also to receive bids for the building of all neces-sary additional canals to complete-ly cover so much of the North Tract as the company now desires to reclaim. Plans and specifications for the new hotel, to be known as Hotel Delta, are now in course of preparation by one of Salt Lake City's most promising architects, and bids for erecting the building will soon be asked for. The entire block of ground on which the hotel is to be located has been cleared and plowed and will be planted to rye within a day or two and in due time we hope to see much of this block devoted to a nice lawn.
