Wingovers All The News That's Fit To Print - From The Delta Airport. By Dick Morrison HAIL AND FAREWELL . . . The sorriest thing I am about this week is the fact that Del Aero's Aeronca Chief has been sold. A flock of Delta flyers have spent uncounted pleasant hours in this little airplane since Fred and Betty Baker flew it out from Vandalia, Ohio, in November, 1946. Fred recalls that he and Betty had Thanksgiving dinner at New Mexico, on that fli-ght. It was practically new when, in the spring o'f 1947, after Merritt Floyd had piloted me about the state on a .number of "business" trips, I decided to learn to fly. Leo Burraston gave me the choice of learning to fly in the Chief or the Champ, saying that the Chief her" father to takti a plane tide, but the report is he refused. Geo-rge was born on solid earth, he has lived on solid earth, and by heaven it looks as if he intends to keep his feet on the ground forever. CAP student Bill Hogan, and his friend Steve Terrell, of Fillmore, called in at Delta Airport Sunday. The boys were quite impressed with the facilities of our airport - - the fine long runways, field lights, hangar, and CAA commun-ications facilities. Fred and Dean Baker got in a little flying practice Sunday in their Don Bothwell passed the eight hour mark in dual Sunday. He will solo out any day now. AREA MAP MADE ... On July 10, 1949, the late Frank The map shows a district south of Leamington and east of Delta, along the Canyon Range. It is a fulfillment of a part of the pro-ject which was inagurated a little more than two years ago with the assistance of Mr. Beckwith. FUSE BLOWS ... Ordinarily the blowing of a fuse is nothing to get up in the night about, but it was just that last Friday night for Ray Steele, who had to drive clear to Milford when a blown fuse put out the beacon and 'field lights there.Driving some 300 miles on account of a blown fuse should be a record of some kind, and Ray is the boy who would make it. On the subject of the Milford airport, Ray says that the Milford LF radio range will be closed down at midnight, Oct. 31 for good. Milford's VOR range will continue in service, as will its beacon and field liehts. was the harder of the two to learn in. With boundless self confidence, I chose the Chief because I didn't see any use learning in an "easy" airplane, and besides I liked the side by side seats better than the tandem, and also preferred the wheel to the stick. Several local flyers will remem-ber it affectionately for the same reason I do. Soloed out in it, made XC in it, flew guests in it to' Salt Lake, Richfield, and other points and, with Leo Burraston's help stunted in it - - spins, hammer-head stalls, etc; joined in CAP simulated SARCAP mission, 'flew Mr. iBeckwith for color photos of the mountains in it, and so on. The Chief has been bought and taken to Austin, Nevada, by a fly-ing club there. All who enjoyed that blue and yellow airknocker as I did may join in silent tribute. Hail to the Chief. Hail and Fare-well. TAKE OFFS AND LANDINGS . . . Dick and Geneal Bean flew in Sunday from Alta Airport, in a Luscombe. Geneal is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Sampson. She invited A. Beckwith acted as guide for two members of the U.S. Geolog-ical Survey, David Varnes and Rich ard Van Horn, on a two hour flight over the district between Mc Comick and Leamington. The purpose of the geologists in mak-ing this reconnaissance flight was to acquaint themselves with the general lay of the land as a pre-liminary to a detailed study in connection with the projected Cen-tral Utah water system. Varnes and Van Horn have now completed a detailed map of about 250 square miles of this area, ac-cording to an item in the Deseret News, of Oct. 22. The map has been put on open file for public inspection by Secretary Chapman. Interested persons may see it by calling at the U. of U., Utah Geo-logical and Mineralogicial Survey and also at room 504, Federal Bldg., Salt Lake City . The geologic map is on a plani-metri- c base at 1:48,000 scale, and shows the various types of surface deposits. On the page facing the map, the lithogic units are des-cribed and their characteristics giv en a tabular text, for the compil-ing of which more than 50 tests of materials weer made, according to the News. In time, of course, all the old LF radio ranges will be discontin-ued in favor of the new and sup-erior high frequency VHF Omni-Rang- e system. The days of Delta's LF range are numbered, but t remains in service for the present. So comes the end of the interest ing history of the old low 'frequen-cy radio range system. It was ori-ginated and first used by the Ford Motor Co. to guide the ships of the late Henry Ford's air freight line from Cleveland and Chicago to Detroit. Ford's pil-ot, Harry Brooks first flew by it. Through obsolescence, the Ford developed radio range now is going the way to oblivion that the model T went 25 years ago. Cantankerous, "ignorant" old Henry Ford, his model T, and his radio range, along with his tri-m- ot ored planes, all belong to an era that is gone. Not one today can quite fill the shoes of the elder Ford. Not even his grandson, Hen-ry the first, who our psuedo-in-tellectua- ls dismissed as an ignor-ant mechanic, did as much to change the world as any man who ever lived. His way was to do something different and better than it had been done before. What a cantrast to the present day "reformers" who think they can remake the world by passing laws! DEBORAH KAY . . . A baby girl was born to Max and Maggie Kay, in the Utah Val-ley Hospital, Provo, on October 15, 1951. Mrs. Gertrude Baker of Delta is visiting in Inglewood, Cal., with her daughter, Mrs. Catherline She plans on spending the winter there. ' Miss Norma Kimber, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Kimber of Delta, is secretary of the upper class di-vision at the BAC in Cedar City. She went in by acclamation in e- - lections held this fall. Black Bock MHS. MKRILL MILLER Parley Rushton and Nathan W. Davis were visitors at the Rlack Rock Ranch during the past week. We didn't get our items into the Chronicle last week - - deer hunt-ing. Operations at the Black Rock Ranch nearly ceased for the past hunting season. Among those who came from far and near to stay at the Black Rock Ranch for the hunting season were: Mr. and Mrs. Nathan W. Davis and son, Frank, and his friends, Dave Brown, and Mr. Boh Dodds of Salt Lake City; Mr. and Mrs. Warren G. Allsop and son, Dick and Kent of Bing-ham Canyon; Jennie McClellan of Payson; Mr. and Mrs. Leon Mc Crary of San Diego; Mr. and Mrs. L. J. McCrary o'f Atlanta, Ga.; Mr. and Mrs. Berti Adair of San Carlos, Cal.; the Merrill Millers, the Ham-pton Burkes and the D. M. Adairs, all of Black Rock. From every standpoint this years hunt was one St the most successful that the "Deer Slayers" have seen in the fifteen years of their coming once a year to their favorite spots. It can be truly said that many deer this year suffered a severe case of lead poisoning. The Oscar Kelly party from Oasis and Delta were camped in the mountains east of Black Rock during the opening days of the sea son. The "Deer Slayers" and Kelly group had lunches together and enjoyed in the customary good times. Oct. 26th saw .75 inches of mois-ture fall around Black Rock. It was a wet heavy snow that pleas-ed the stockmen very much. Most of hunters in fact reported much better hunting after the snow had blanketed the hills. Mrs. Merrill Miller and Mrs. Leon Mc Crary motored to Salt Lake City to visit friends before the Mc Crarys had to return to their home in San Diego. Mr. and Mrs. Berti Adair and their young son visited with Berti Adair's father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Adair. They had a grand time in between hunts. The three" Mc Crarys returned to San Diego after spending the hunting season with the Merrill Millers. It was a great pleasure to have them with us and every-one looks forward to the next hunting season when they wlil re-turn. Miss Darlene McCullough, in her first year at Dixie Junior college, spent the weekend in Delta with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hamil-ton McCullough. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Vodak are driving to Wisconsin where they will visit Mr. Vodak's family. They went by way of Kellogg, Idaho, and visited there with Mrs. Vo-dak's sister, Mrs. Evelyn Hower-to-and on by way of the north-ern route into Wisconsin. Start Next Year's Beets-NO- W! Farmers have learned that it pays to prepare their land in the fall for spring planting. This is done by irrigating in late summer or early fall, plowing under of stubble and weeds, applying fertilizer and doing other tasks that should not be put off until the busy spring Yields are better and time is saved g leaves the soil in a better condition for mellowing through winter weather action. Then when spring comes moisture conditions are better because the soil need not be opened. Mere harrowing prepares the seed bed for a good uniform stand of beets. Sugar beets are a good dependable cash crop. Plan now for a big acreage in 1952. . ii mi h.iiiiyfti ii t 90 For! 10 Against ffirr.Q Railroad workers are represented by 23 standard L L Li Li J) unions.
