They were accompanied by Mrs. Nona Chesley, who joined her husband, Scott Chesley, in Salt Lake for medical care. an aerial photo that Was publish-ed in this column in the Chronicle last May 17. The photo was made available for the use in the Chron-icle by the Chalfant Press, of Bish-op, Calif. It shows a view of the Owens Valley from 30,000 ft, and is of great scientific interest be-cause the streaks of dust illustrate how the world famous "Sierra Wave" is formed. . I talked with Symons at Bishop last December 7, but it was not un-til I read the Post article that I knew he was minus his right leg, which he lost in a hay chopper at the age of 26. The regional CAA inspector at first refused him a pil-ot's license because of his wooden leg; but when, in a basketball game the team with which Sy-mons was playing beat the one the inspector played on, the inspec tor decided that the wooden limb was no impediment to Symons and issued the license. - Wiiigovfci'S U The News That's Fit To rint - From The Delta Airport., By Dick Morrison )M TROUBLE . . . he lastest CAA airworthiness di ;ive on Bell Helicopters brings item: "To prevent the main r striking the tail boom as a "lit of boom deflection when zing at high forward speed, in-.- 1 the or -- 2 spoiler the tail boom.

Etta and Clyde Underhill tell me that the father of Rickey Henrick-so- n is ah employee of their son in law, Gail Bywater, in Gail's auto service business in "Salt Lake. Ric-key is the fourteen year old boy who was held captive of the kid-napper for ten weeks while Salt Lake police, even after they had found Rickey's boots in a house the suspect had rented adjacent to the used car lot, failed to trace the confessed kidnapper to the Sugar-hous- e hideout. Mr. and Mrs. Underhill say that when, in the wee small hours of the morning Rickey was returned to his home, Mr. and Mrs. Henrick-so- n called Doyne and Gail Bywater to tell them the good news. SCIENCE FICTION , . . Seeing the movie, The Day The Earth Stood Still, brought to mind a whole flock of science fiction stories I have enjoyed. Scientific fiction, when it is the real thing and not the sort of tripe that sometimes passes for it, is a most interesting and stimulating type of fiction. ies on known facts about brain waves etc. The modern methods of controlling the human mind where by the "victims" don't realize they are being controlled have furnish-ed plots for many stories. Just as SF stories of 25 years ago and more foretold the technol-ogical world of today, today's SF stories may be giving us a glimpse of the world of tomorrow in such fields as government and human relations. Some of the things they foretell are pleasant, others decid-edly not. filial lu iiu EFENSE NOTE . . . Last week the Chronicle receiv-- i a mimeographed sheet from ie USAF Civil Defense Public Officer explaining a lan to enlist a volunteer ground bseryation corps to augment the xdar net for spotting possible en-m- y attack planes. The communication explains why 3 ground observer corps is neces-ar- y because of practical limit-.tio-of the radar system. It ad-'is-those who would volunteer o find their nearest city and coun-- y director of civil defense. The thing that struck us as in-teresting in this matter is the fact jhat it was over a year ago, on 'an. 4 1951, to be exact, that ran a piece entitled ?he Radar Net which covered the ubject more thoroughly than the iresent publicity handout. The lenills of bureaucracy grind slowly, mt in this case, at least, they got here, even if it was a year late. WAVE PICTURE . . . " The August 25, 1951 Saturday Ev Vning Post ran a very interesting irticle by Scholer Bangs entitled, To The Stratosphere In A Glider, lealing with the glider flying ts of Bob Symons, the Bishop, alif. pilot who has made many ;lider altitude records. For some reason, I missed the 'ost article when it was published ind was most interested to note, m reading it now, that it included A number of top scientists, as-tronomers and mathematicians write science fiction, usually under a psuedonym, just for the fun of it. Such writers can turn out stuff that really appeals to the intell-igent imagination, because it is a plausible projection of advanced science in to the future. A start-lingl- y large amount of the "fantas-tic" science fiction that I read-- 25 years ago has come true. This dealt with such things as super-oni- c airplanes and modern elect-ronic devices as well as interplane tary travel. And, of course, nuclear fission. Without a doubt, Jules Verne was the best of the 19th century SF writers. His From the Earth to the Moon, Around The World In Eight-- y Days and Twenty Thousand Leagues' Under The Sea appealed strongly to the people of his day, who were just becoming dimly aw-are of the possibilities of modern technology. However, his works, like most 19th Century stories, were overly wordy and inclined to wander off on long winded disgres sions on irrelevant subjects, simply for the entertainment of the rea-ders who had little other means of entertainmentment. The Day The Earth Stood Still certainly made the most of the flying saucer rumors; also it inclu-ded a social uplift message. For the benefit of the movie going public, it resorted to use of a robot in the shape of a man, which is exactly Ihe shape such a mech-anical being wouldn't take. But we must concede the need of story writers for dramatic effects. In-cidentally, I'd have preferred fic-titious newscasters to such propag-andists as Drew Pearson and Elmer Davis, but not doubt they were in-cluded in the interest of realism. One flaw in many science fic-tion stories that appear in slick paper magazines and popular mov-ies is that they make too many concessions to the lack of under-standing of the lay public. Science fiction addicts who are really hep don't have to be told, any more of the need to use either acceler-ation or centrifugal force as a sub-stitute for gravity; why a space ship would need to stop accelera-ting, turn around and start deceler ating at the half way point; nor of the problems of protecting space ships from meteorites. Nor are they unaware of the fact that there is neither air nor water on the moon; that there is no real evidence of canals on Mars and that the surface of Venus has always been obscured as if by water vapor. Nor, for that matter, of the fact that the moon always presents the same side to the earth. With all such elementary facts al-ready well understood, modern wri-ters are inclined to devote more time to social science, philosophy, and the like. The recent movie and several late stories have dealt with a concept of interplanetary law, rather than anarchy. .They some-times deal with thought transfer-ence and immortality, basing stor- - Carmen ISose Is Teacher Trainee Carmen Rose is among the stud-ent teacher trainees at the BAC this quarter it was announced by Dr. H. P. Maughan, chairman of the Division of Education. Miss Rose is training in the sec-ond grade class under the direction of Mrs. Miriam Lake in the Cedar City West Elementary School.

N Miss Rose plans to begin teach-ing this fall in eelmentary schools in southern Utah or Nevada fol-lowing completion of her work to-ward a degree. She is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Heber Rose, of Sutherland. Assigned To Fai' East'rn Command Sgt. First Class Ardell M.

Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Dutson drove to Salt Lake City last week to visit with Sgt. and Mrs. Dene Dutson. Dene was being transfer-red to Clovis, N. M., with the air national guard.
