Show All The News That's Fit To Print - From The Delta Airport. By Dick Morrison TAKE OFFS AND LANDINGS . . . A pair of Provo flyers whose names we were not quick enough to get made a noteworthy take off, landing, and second take off Saturday mid-day, according to Nate Ward, who eye-witnessed the event from the INSAC house. The boys gassed up their Stinson Voyager Voy-ager ,and were full throttling down the runway when a cross wind upset up-set both their calculations and their airplane. The plane made a partial ground loop and stood on its nose. The pilot cut the switch so the engine was dead at the finish, and the prop happened to stop horizontal. Consequently it wasn't bent much. Our intrepid flyers climbed out, righted their ship, pounded out ia few dents in cawling and air intake, gave the prop a lick, and in a moment were in the air again headad for Provo. . Tax Searle took hijB flight test and was awarded his private license lic-ense Wednesday, April 2. Bill Staff, CAA supervisor was who !s working on highway 6, took his fledgling flight Sunday with Fred Baker piloting. Mr. and Mrs. Royce Knight fle.v over from Cedar City, and returned return-ed Sunday afternoon. Ray Dirksea, flight instructor for Mr. Knight at Cedar, recently returned re-turned from sorvice in Korea where he has been doing liaison flying. Ray reports that the Russians are now using radar directed anti-aircraft guns, and that when the shrapnel starts flying near a plane's altitude, the flyers know they are in a bad spot. The current Region 6 News runs a picture of Nate Ward, with a little writeup made during his recent re-cent trip to LA. Ray Steele tells us that the Har-rim.an Har-rim.an Hills beacon, the first south of Salt Lake, and the Fairfield Radio have been added to his bailiwick. bail-iwick. Of this, more laker. SABOTAGE . . . Electricity plays such an important impor-tant part in our lives that when anyone mischievously shoots down the power lines, it is an act of sabotage not just against the power pow-er company, but against the whole ide mlled the airport to have a P re sent out to locate the breal Leo Burraston and Fred Baker, as'well as Fred's two young sons Carl and Dean, took off m U face of a 25 mile wind They - ed the line north, iney s the break soon enough about two miles north of town, m an rnac cessible spot of the tveUed road, Leo called Delta radio and gave the information to radioman Don Bothwell. Don then called Lynn by phone, and Lynn directed a xep crew made up of Lawrence M.tch ell Max Bennett, Lionel Tayloi, and Tom Watson, to the spot. ' So it was that the line men, acting ac-ting on information relayed lrom the airplane by radio and tele phone, were on the site repainng the line even before the plane returned to the airport. Leo and Fred ,in fact, continued on through Leamington Canyon in search of further line trouble. The Telluride crew salvaged a piece of broken wire which showed the line had been shot in two We never miss the water till the well runs dry, and we don t miss the juice until something causes cau-ses a short circuit, but it really hurts when the power is off foi litio nwMip.

A shut down ear'y Sunday morning morn-ing was for thf purpose of replacing replac-ing all defective insulators be -tween Delta and Nephi. It was deemed essential to put this line first class shape because the other supply line was out of service between be-tween Richfield and Fillmore. Ordinarily, when one lines goes out, the load is shifted to the other oth-er so quickly most power asers don't suffer any inconvenience at all; this time, however ,the Richfield Rich-field line was out because of a snow slide had swept away a tower tow-er at a point called Paradise Hole, high on the divide. A snow depth of twenty feet made repair at this DOint impossible. even a un. - can be built to withstand all the forces mother nature can throw at it when she cuts loose; and no installation can be proof against ag-ainst sabotage. Sabotage is a crime against the community, and the community is justified in going go-ing to any length to suppress it. In this instance, neither nature nor saboteurs alone could have put out the power; it took both together, to-gether, and even then the service was restored in a few hours. Considering the nature of the territory and the long distances the power is transmitted this area gets very fine service. Old timers can recall instances when, before the Telluride Company took over the local service and built the line from Nephi, our power was off for days at a time. Since this line was built, about 1930, the chance of complete failure for any great length of time has been reduced tremendously. FERENC MOLNAR . . . The noted Hungarian playwright Ferenc Molnar, died last week In New York at the age of 74. Molnar was perhaps best known for his play, Liliom, a beautiful fantasy dealing with life and Ufe after death of the roughneck, Liliom, who was killed when he attempted robbery to get money for the child his wife was expect- Yes, it was darned inconvenient to have the power off from about 3:40 until dusk, Sunday, but it was good to have it on again before be-fore dark. Had it not been for unique uni-que cooperation between power company, local airmen, and CAA communications, it might have stayed sta-yed off far into the night. When the Richfield line was cut the Telluride Power Co., seeing no chance to get a crew or supplies to the site for an indefinite period engaged Del Aero Service to patrol the Delta-Nophi line by air, regularly, regul-arly, to help guard against any possible failure.
