Richkenbaeh, Mil-lard County Agricultural Agent. Stirs Interest The Second Annual Millard County Livestock Tour which was held February 20 was very successful. 2 hundred men attended the tour. They came from every town in the county, and men from Juab, Utah and Wasatch counties were also in attendance. One of the most interesting high lights of the program was the jud-ging contest in which nearly every man in attendance participated. Four different classes of livestock were judged and a total of the scores revealed that LaVar Peter-son of Fillmore placed high with a score o' 180 out of a possible 200. Bert Beeston, also of Fillmore, places second with a score of 172. For third place S. H Hales of Suth-erland and Russell Styler of Oasis Delta last week on his way from Camp Cook, Cal., to Kentucky. How ever, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Hollingshead, and family did not get to see him as they were mistaken on his train time and Bud was gone when they got to the depot. Mr. and Mrs. Angus Meyers are announcing the arrival of their 1st grandchild, the baby boy bom on Feb. 19 to Mr. and Mrs. Elmo Meyers in Salt Lake City. Mr. and Mrs. Glen Roberts, of Tacoma, Wash. , are announcing the birth of a son on Feb. 7. He is named Frank Duane, and is an-other grandchild for Mr. and Mrs. Frank Roberts of Delta. ALL THE NEWS THAT'S FIT TO PRINT FROM THE DELTA AIRPORT" DICK MORRISON FLEDGLING . . . Reliance Wood took her first plane ride Sunday, with her cous-in, Bob Jones, piloting the Champ. She reports feeling the sensation common to first flyers, of hanging motionless in the air while doing 100 mph. Bob took Wells Wood for a little hop, too. Wells has flown a couple of times before; one in a military plane and once with the now.Jegendary haylift. STARTS COURSE . . . Verrue Theobald started his fly-ing course under the GI training program making his familiarization flight Sunday. THAT BELLANCA . . . Carter and Woodhouse of Span-- , ish Fork have been using Del-Aer- o Aeronca Sedan the past few days, for work especially adapted to it, and have loaned Delta their Bellanea in exchange. The higher power and smaller wings. Leon Theobald is getting quite a kick out of flying it. He took Bill Humphries and "Snooks" Black for a little stunting in it. Mac Shields, John Nutsch and I were treated to a ride in it Sunday with Leo Burraston piloting. Leo's idea of fun is to cavort around the sky in a plane like that, and it was hard to keep track of the hori-zon. Buzzing the airport at 160 gave me a slight idea of what it must feel like to fly an 1 twice that fast. WEEK END VISIT . . . Capl. Roy Brentliger and family, of Las Vegas, spent the week end here visiting Mrs. Brentlinger's par-ents, Mr. and Mrs. Arv Rose. AIRCRAFT USE REPORT . . . The CAA has just issued a re-port showing trends of aircraft use in 1949, showing that industrial flying, which includes crop dust-ing, Increased 64 over the pre-vious year, while, at the other ex-treme, instructional 'flying dropped 52c because of a tapering off ofj I GI flight training. Personal and business flying held up very well. The number of privately owned aircraft by own-ers1 employed outsWe the aviation industry increased from 32,290 to 40,830 in two years. Flying farm-ers accounted for 10,500 planes and the third largest group of private owners was automobile and gar-age service men with 5,350, fol-lower by professional men such as doctors, lawyers and dentists, with 4,140. Planes owned by petroleum com-panies got the most use, being us-ed for aerial exploration as well as private transportation. Small executive type aircraft, of three to 'five passengers and 145 to 199 hp gained in number and usage. FIND WRECKAGE . . . While prospecting on the Fish Springs mountains last Thursday, Al Willden and Leonel Petty discov ered the wreckage of some kind of aircraft. A large amount of twis ted, battered aluminum and other metal parts were scattered over a half mile area, near the top of the mountain. It was in an inac-cessible spot which could be reach-ed only by foot. They brought a few pieces of the wreckage to Delta in their Jeep. These were exanind by N. E. Ward, Leo Burraston, Merritt Floyd, Grant Workman and others at the airport, and the concensus of opinion is that the craft may have been a guided missile.. A small section of an airfoil and fit-tings leave no doubt that the parts are of an aircraft. A foot long section made o'f sheet aluminum was evidently designed as a wing, tail or control part. It is about six inches across, and a little more than one inch thick at the forward edge. Two pieces of heavy cast alum-inum, which may have been bulk-heads in the fuselage show evid-ence of being badly battered, scra-ped, and partly melted. Lionel and Al say they saw no evidence of wheels in the wreckage. Probably the craft was a guided missile which exploded when it hit the mountain. This seems probable because the Fish Springs Mts. are in the army's restricted area, which is used for experiments with such weapons. Nate Ward tells us that Granite Peak, north of Fish Springs, has been used as a target. Maybe this missile overshot the target. Nate reports, too, that about four years ago, he piloted Will Killpack on a flight into the area to invest-igate reports of similar wreckage. SOUPY SUNDAY . . . Wind, low clouds and snow flur-ries made Sunday a poor day for local flying, although Don Bird bra ved the weather and took his sec-ond hour of dual instruction. The LA-S- L Airway was busy as usual with passenger transports, Army and Navy craft flying by IFR at altitudes of over 11,000 ft. Com-municator Art Rose Jells us that such days give the radio men more rather than less work to do, be-cause every plane flying instru-ment flight rules along the airway must check with each radio stat-ion. TAKE OFFS AND LANDINGS . . . Don Searle piloted a Luscombe down from Provo Saturday, with Ray Jacobs his passenger. , Pilot Bill Waggner of Salt Lake flew to Delta Feb. 13, to pick up the Cessna purchased from Frank Pace. CIRCLE AND SHADOW . . . Flying to Salt Lake Tuesday with Leo Burraston in the Aeronca sedan, I observed the first full cir-cle rainbow I have ever seen. The time was about 0940. We were crossing the mountains north-west of Eureka. Light fog clouds had formed about the mountain tops, and it was in these that the circular rainbow appeared, below and to the left of us. The shadow of our plane was distinct, and, of course, exactly in the center of the circle. Since the clouds were very near us, the circle was rather small, and the shadow o'f the plane seem ed large in proportion. The multi-colored circle seemed about five or six times as large in diameter as the shadow. The cirle and shadow moved al-ong with us for a few moments, and then as we passed beyond the clouds they vanished. GETS PROMOTION . . . Arv Rose tells me that his R. W. Brentlinger, has been promoted from Lieutenant to Capt. Brentlinger is communications of-ficer at Nellis AFB, Las Vegas, Nev. He is the husband of Arv's daugh-ter, Dixie. EARLY AIR RACE . . . The March Reader's Digest gives an interesting account of the first transcontinental air race, flown in 1911. The New York American offer-ed a $50,000 prize to the first per-son to cross the nation by air, with the deadline October 10. Sev-eral hardy pioneer flyers started out bravely in Sept., a month ah-ead of time, but only one finished, and he was nearly a month too late. He was Calbraith Rodgers. His elapsed time was 49 days. The time of 49 days wasn't so slow when you consider that Rod-gers rebuilt his airplane four times along the way. The only original parts still on at the finish were "the vertical rudder and the drip pan." While Rodgers missed the $50,000 prize because of the time limit, his sponsors paid him $20,000 and he earned another $4000 in stunting exhibitions along the way This money, however, did not pay his expenses, but he felt that the monetary consideration was sec-ondary to his achievement. His flight made the nation air consci-ous. Flying was indeed hectic in those days. Among the troubles encoun-tered by Rodgers and other con-testants were these. A plane out of San Francisco, en countering side winds, spun into some trees. A search party located the pilot, Fowler, gazing at the wreckage in disgust. A plane's radiator boiled, and the engine overheated and stuck. A pilot named Ward had a devil of a .time. At 5000 ft. his engine almost wrenched loose. On land-ing he. found his oil cup and lub-rication gone. Frightened cows stampeded and drove the spectators directly into the path of a plane that was 'ris-ing" - - taking off, to you. At one town people took parts off the plane for souvenirs. A wo-man unscrewing a nut said there were so many one shouldn't make any difference. A forced landing was necessary when a "propeller chain" snapped near El Paso, Texas. An eagle, resenting the new chal lenge to its domain chased a plane 20 miles, diving at it and damag-ing the rudder wires. NEW INVENTIONS . . . Among the most interesting new developments announced this year is an automatic "assistant pilot" for helicopters. Designed by Sperry Gyroscope Co., it is said to make handling o'f helicopters in rough air as easy as flying a cub. Two new automatic devices for planes were an-nounced by officials at Wright Pat terson AFB. These are the West-inghou- "Decelostat", and the Boe ing "Hytrol". All 7 and 1 planes are now equipped with the devices, and other planes will be The devices are similar in action to the brake controls used on streamlined trains. They "sense"' a skid before it starts, and release brake pressure enough to prevent it. Thus maximum traction is main tained, and locking of the wheels prevented, regardless of brake pres sure applied by the pilot. The re-sult is that the landing roll for de-celeration is reduced to near the theoretical minimum. From the Files .... OAK CITY In the near the future the peo-ple oi Oak City and vicinity will be so arranging their affairs as to have the most profitable business year of their existence. In the Des-er- News a call is being publish-ed for a meeting of the stockhold-ers of the Sevier River Land and Water Company for March 15, 1911 in Salt Lake City, to double their capital stock and authorize a bond issue of $400,000 to resume con-struction upon the first unit of their irrigation scheme. The county engineer has devis-ed a plan by which that portion of Taylor Flat above the canal, the bulk of the land on Fool Creek Flat and a large acreage contig-uous to and north of Oak City ir-rigated lands will all be placed under cultivation with pirmary wat er rights. The above indicates that 25,000 acres will be supplied with water not later than April 1, 1912, and our beautiful sinks will be a matter of past history. HINCKLEY Saturday, afternoon was pulled off one of the most closely con-tested basketball games ever pla-yed in this section. The Murdock Academy of Beaver were here to give our Academy boys a return game. The visitors were defeated in a fast game in the gym of the Millard Stake Academy by the Ac-ademy. The score stood 49-3- The line-u- p for MSA was M. Moody, R. F.; J. Greener, L. F.; A. Reeve, C; A. Ashby, R. G.; J. Wright, L. G. BURTNER Mr. F. A. Strain, engineer for the new land company, came to town last Thursday morning and has been looking Into the work that will be done here this sum-mer. He has been staking off the ground 'for the new spillway at the dam and Sunday morning mater- - ial arrived, so work will commence in the next few days that will make a showing that something will be done. Everybody seems quite enthused over the prospects for a crop this, coming season. They are beginning to get things ready and will start seeding their land just as soon as possible. ABRAHAM There seems to be quite an aw-akening of the people here, judg-ing from the way our Sabbath school and church meetings are attended of late. The speakers in meeting last Sunday were Bishop Hogan, who exhorted the people to be loyal to their home town, and boost instead of knock. Broth-er W. S. Taylor spoke on the div-inity of the Book of Mormon in a very able manner. Brother Le Roy Young, then gave some very good counsel. OASIS Mr. Milton Moody of Salt Lake City is here with us again. He is here on business or else he thinks there is no place to equal Millard. The speakers at church on Sun-day were Elder Samuel Rutherford, who gave an interesting report of his labor and Milton Moody, who gave a very good sermon which was very very interesting.
