Show Rebekahs Visitation A delightful banquet at the Union Pacific dining room was enjoyed en-joyed by Vctory Rebekah Lodge No. 43 and their guests at 6:30 Wednesday evening, October 5. The table was beautifully decorated decorat-ed in pink and green, the official colors of the lodlge. Bowls of vari-colored asters, pink doilies and pink and green tapers, together to-gether with clever favors made a very attractive setting for the four-course dinner which was served serv-ed to the 43 ladies present. The regular business meeting of ithe Lodge followed at 8 o'clock in the I. O. O. F. hall under the eapaible direction of Noble Grand Dora Casterline. The initiatory work was exemplified by the local degree staff headed by Vena H. Wilson. ; The work was especially well done and the participants were highly complimented by the visiting sisters. This was the occasion of the official of-ficial visitation of Mrs. Daisy Smiley of Helper, president of the Reibekah : Assembly of Utah. She sras graciously received and welcomed wel-comed by the noble grand and the beautiful message she brought to the subordinate lodge was received receiv-ed with sincere appreciation by all present.

The evening was characterized by the finest fraternal feeling; old friendships were renewed, and new friends made during the social hour and all felt that it was a distinct privilege to be enlisted in the service of Friendship, Love and Truth. for maintenance and operation of the airways system shows a developing de-veloping preponderance of expenditures expen-ditures devoted to radio and communications. com-munications. Whereas in 1932 over half the expenditure was for airways lighting and intermediate fields, of the $7,000,000 appropriated appropri-ated for 1937-1938, $5,000,000 will be spent for radio and communications, communica-tions, and $2,000,000 for ground aids. It must be borne in mind that these radio aids are not in themselves them-selves a guarantee of safety. It is by using them intelligently thati airline operators and pilots elimi- nate risks they otherwise would I have to face, and are able to carry j on flight operations without haz-: ard under conditions which would, have been utterly unsafe for fly- ing with the limited airway aids available a few years ago. Radio beacons and similar aids bear somewhat the same relation to flying that highway signs and signal lights do to motoring; thei: only assurance of safety to the traveler lies in their proper observance ob-servance and use. No motorist who ignores the red lanterns marking construction work or other road obstructions has anyone any-one to blame but himself if he comes to grief, and the same is true of the airplane pilot who runs through the danger siimals which the radio and other airway 'iaids maintain for his guidance and protection. It is only when obstructions ob-structions on a supposedly clear j highway are unmarked that those i responsible for safeguards can be blamed and only when a radio beacon bea-con ceases to function or functions in a misleading manner that responsibility re-sponsibility for accidents properly rests on th airway aids. |
