April 17, 1952 Mr. and Mrs. Almon Robison mid two daughters from Salt Lake City mA Mr. and Mrs. Don Searle from were Easter visitors with provo, their 'parents, Mr. and Mrs. Del Searle in Delta. Pvt. Bex T. Harris, US 56061624, Ambulance Co. 7, Med., APO 7, care Postmaster, San Francisco, Gal., is the present address for this young serviceman. Rex left Delta Feb. 18 for overseas duty, and after a week in Japan the Krst part of March, has been in Korea since. His wife, the former Lois Carling of Flowell, is her home with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Claud Carling. Biii and Helen Bliss Cox, of Whit-- , tier, Cal., are annocuncing the ar-rival of twins, a boy and a girl, on April 10. Their names are Pat-rick and Pamela, and their weights were 7M.. and 6V ponds. There are two older brothers in the family. Proud grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Orin Bliss, of Hinckley, and Mr. and Mrs. D. T. Cox, of Provo. Dorthela Bishop, of the Great Lakes Mission, labored in Michigan Ohio and Indiana before return-ing home visited with her sister, Mrs. Arnold Hecker in Dallas, S. Dakota. She will report her mis-sion this Sunday, April 20. 40 YEARS AGO i. . T From the Files ... IN AND AROUND DELTA The National Trust and Savings Co. has leased the Hotel Delta and will call it the Delta Club. W. C. Van Bergen is managing it for them and they expect to devote it exclusively tp the entertainment of visiting land buyers. They will rearrange it and put in new fur-nishings. The first motorcycle has made its appearance in Delta. It is own-ed by A. N. Rosenbaum. When the roads are not muddy they are ideal for a motorcycle. The ma-chine got a little fractious on its first trip and threw tihe rider off, but with no serious damage to rider or machine. Delta is to have waterworks. A company is being organized with a capital of $5,000 divided into 50 shares of$100 each. The subscrip-tion list is now being circulated and a good many shares have been sold. The water will be sup-plied from driven wells with a large cistern. A gasoline engine will elevate the water into a 3',000 gallon tank from which it will be carried by gravity in pipes to the patrons, it will be a great thing 'for the town. THE HIGH SCHOOL QUESTION day, Principal Petty took his pupils and two grades of Hinckley school over to the old fort, cleared out the brush from part of it, raised the Stars and Stripes over it, and had an interesting program. Sons of the old Indian war veterans were pres-ents and participated in tihe exer-cises. An effort is going to be made to have this historic monu-ment o'D pioneer days restored and preserved for future generations. The people ought to see that this is done, for it is well worth pre-serving for a monument. Ora Lake of Abraham is seed-ing another 100 acres of his farm to alfalfa, and it is coming on fine. This will make 320 acres Mr. Lake has in alfalfa the largest alfalfa farm in the valley. H. L. Bishop of Hinckley has sold his old home eft 160 acres west of Hinckley to a California man. Mr. Bishop has lived on this farm for over twenty-fiv- e years. But he has plenty of other land so will not have to leave to found another home. EVENTS AT OAK CITY (In the paper of 40 years ago two full columns were devoted to the question of a high school for the east side of the county. Hinckley had the Millard Stake Academy, and Fillmore was asking Since the last corespondence, Mrs. Mary M. Lyman had traded homes with Joseph P. Callister of Delta. We are sorry to lose Mrs. Lyman and her two boys, as they are a big help to the town. We like all we have got and hate to lose them, and welcome all we can get. Mr. Oallister and wife are formerly of Oak City and are no doubt glad to get back there once more. A farewell dance was given Mr. Stanley Lovell Friday night. Mr. Lovell left Sunday morning for a mission In Enland. One hundred and twenty-thre-e dollars was rais-ed to start him on his way. for a high school there. Editor Norman B. Dresser was in favor of a high school iat Fillmore, and quoted from Bishop H. E. Max-fiel- N. S. Bishop, A. N. Sorenson, Hyrum Knight, E. D. Marshall, H. J. Law, John Steele, John Avery Bishop, Milton Moody and S. J. Hawley, all in favor of a high school in Fillmore. Henry Huff ad-vised a wait of a year or two, and also favored Holden for the location. Hinckley was generally unfavorable to a high school at Fillmore. The question was voted on in the week after this old paper came out and toy look-ing into the issue ol April 25, 1912, we read that Fillmore got the high school with majority of 125 votes.) NEWS OF OUH NEIGHBORS Deseret is the only place we have heard of that had ia real cel-ebration on Arbor Day, last Mon- - Wingovers All The News That's Fit To Print - From The Delta Airport. By Dick Morrison Take Offs and Landings T. A. (Andy) Bouck of son Thomp- Flying Service set his Cessna 140 down here Sunday afternoon. Andy tells me he has put in a bid to operate the Ogden weld, and if his bid is accepted he expects to! run it under the name of West American- Aviation. Robert Pool, Jr., of the Texan Joveiopmeni uo., landed nere bu-da- y in a Navion. Making tCie fight from Texas with him were Kimball J'ohanse.n, Lloyd Jensen and L. W. ensen. The party spent Sunday visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Sorenson in Sutherland. Computer Ccpsrs Given the three- - sides of a tri-angle, how would you find the three angles Or if thats' too easy, take this one: Given two sides and angle not included between them, but angle adjacent to first side, find third side and other angles. Elementary? Then tr y a tem-perature conversion problem. If it's 40 below zero C at. 20,000 ft, what would the Fahrenheit reding be? 40 below? Sure. Since you're so sure of that last answer, how about converting a few nautical miles to statute miles? Whether these problems are easy or not, Art Rose was reeling off answers like an electronic cal-culator Sunday afternoon between weather observations. Art has a neat little computer known as Uil-- . American A.i.ines Computer, Type C, designed fur pilots and navigators, complete with an book, and it tells you just about everything about Hy-ing problems. H consists oJ three revolving discs four inches in dia-meter, with all kinds of scales. It was compiled by the A. A. Engin-eering Depl: It solves problems involving such things as true airspeed, calibrated airspeed, groundspeed, distance, al titude, fuel consumption, rate of climb, wind angle, wind correc-tion angles, compass headings, course correction, wind direction and velocity, and triangles, both right and oblique. Art was just unbeatable Sunday as long as he had his computer handy. He knew all the answers. Here's a track and groundspeed problem that didn't even feaze him: Given true heading north, or 0, true airspeed 180 mph, wind 40 mph from due west or 270, find track and groundspeed. The discs of Art's computer and in a moment he came "up with track 12, GS 185. (Any wise guy that says this an-swer is obviosly haywire,' please remember this is a track and GS problem, not a true heading prob-lem.) "What- type plane, would be fly-ing at 180 AS?" I asked. "Oh, a DC-3- ," Art said. "I thought they were rated 160," said I. Even that didn't stop him. "If it were at 10,000 ft., the air tem-perature could easily be zero cen-tigrade, couldn't it?" he asked. It could, of course. So, with a few deft twists of the discs, Art correlated some more data, and brought forth the fact that with the DC-- 3 iat 10,000 ft., temperature 0 C, indicated air-speed 160 the actual AS would be 188. That settled that. So when you're flying the Aer-onc- a sedan and you call Delta radio and Art answers, and you tell him you are flying to Salt Lake and have just crossed above the Jericho road and want to know your groundspeed, you may ex-pect Art to have the answer on the tip of his tongue. Prize Problem Given TC, AS, GS, Wind velocity. Find TH and Wind direction. How? That's the question. When I first dreamed that one up, I thought of calling it the $64 question and offering a prize for the correct answer. On second thot, however, I decided that flying en-thusiasts would get just as much fun out of solving it without any cash priez, so I might as well keep the money. Hence, no offer of oash. Still, it is an intriguing prob-lem. To give it a specific example: Assuming that a plane has an air-speed of 100 mph, and maintains a true course of45, or northeast, from what direction would a 35 mile wind have to be blowing to oause the plane to maintain a GS of 100 mph along the TC, and what would be the true heading? Now any lunkhead can get the answer by trial and error, by draw-ing a few wind vectors; and some people like Art Rose might stum-ble onto it with a computer. But the point is that the answer must be found by a systematic, direct method. The method itself is as important as the right answer. Stunt Flier Retires. A noted woman pilot and stunt flyer retired to home life recently after a thirty year aviation ca-reer. Her last position was consul-tant with the CAA. She is Mrs. Phoebe Omlie. She began her fly-ing and acrobatic career at the age of 17, as Phoebe Fiairgraves, and she had played an important part in aviation ever since, as ac-robat, racing pilot, and business executive. Her most sensational stunt was that of changing from one plane to another in the air. After a stint as the woman on the flying tra-peze, she married her instructor, Vernon Omlie. I don't know what you think about this, but it strikes me that after she'd performed that stunt for him that was .about the least he could do for her give her his name.

Maybe you have looked with envy upon your neigh-bor who produces high sugar beet tonnage. You needn't, however, for you can do the same by following these practices employed by producers of highest sugar beet yields: 1. Farm on a long range basis. 2. Build and maintain soil structure and organic matter. Grow alfalfa and clover in rotation with sugar beets and other crops. Feed live-stock; and return all crop residues and manure to the soil. 3. Put into your soil an adequate combination of commercial fertilizer (mixed), green manure i crops, and barnyard manure. 4. Give your beets the longest possible growing season by planting early on a good seed bed with plenty of moisture. 5. Weed and thin early. Many of the best growers were first to use mechanical thinners to speed their spring work. 6. Irrigate early. Light and frequent irrigations are generally best. Keep your beet field ade-quately supplied with moisture through the entire season. 7. Follow a definite weed control program. Weeds reduce yields, increase costs, and destroy the pride a man has in his farm. For details on better farming contact your U and I fieldman or your county agricultural agent. UTAII-IDAHQA- R CO.
