Air Rescue Unit's 'Flying Firemen' Tackle Any Disaster Emergency

BY JAMES C. ANDERSON UP Staff Correspondent SAN FRANCISCO (UP)-Any time an airplane crashes or is reported overdue on a flight in the United States, a small, little-known but combat veterans of the Air Corps is ready to go to the rescue. These "flying firemen" are members of the U. S. Air Forces Air Rescue Unit, stationed at stragetic bases throughout the nation. Their primary mission is to fly to the rescue in any aerial emergency. They go even if "zero-zero" flying conditions prevail and the search leads to the dangerous mountain peaks of the Rockies or over storm-buffeted ocean waters. Air Rescue boasts the finest equipment available for its difficult duty. Each unit has both air and ground equipment, especially tailored for the particular type of terrain in which the search centers. Equipment Diversified Headquarters of Squadron B of ARS, based at Hamilton Field, Cal., is typical. Its primary equipment consists of a B-17 Flying Fortress and a B-29 Superfort for long-range reconnaissance; C-82 and C-47 cargo aircraft to carry ground supplies, search equipment and an air-borne radio jeep; an L-5 single-engine "putt-putt" plane, used to scout mountainous draws and canyons and for liaison between base and advance units of the searching party; an SA-10 amphibian flying boat, affectionately called "The Duck" by pilots, suitable for landings on water or ground, and an R-5 helicopter, whose ability to hover motionless allows search pilots to pin-point wreckage. No matter whether a civilian or military plane is reported lost or crashed, ARS goes to the rescue. Recently, when Gov. Earl Snell of Oregon and three other men crashed in a desolate mountain area in south-east Oregon, ARS flew its search missions despite weather so bad no other planes would take to the air. Secret of the success of ARS in finding lost aircraft in recent years is a complex radio liaison maintained between search planes in the air, the radio jeep which gets as close to the probable crash scene as possible, ground search parties and the unit's home base. Jeep In Control The radio jeep is the control point, its radio receiver beamed in on all of the planes in the air as well as being able to transmit instructions to ground men equipped with portable "walkie-talkie" radio sets and talk direct to its home base. Usually, a scanner in one of the planes first spots the wreck and notifies the radio jeep. The jeep relay instructions on how to find the plane. If there were survivors, ARS always has a "paradoctor" and an enlisted medical orderly who can be flown to the wreck scene and dropped by chute. Medical supplies, guns and ammunition, life rafts, flares, emergency food rations, warm clothing and other equipment also are dropped by parachute. If no one survived the wreck, it is the job of the Air Rescue to remove the bodies and fly them back to base. ARS duties are not always so grim. Recently, 1st Lt. John Halpin of Detroit, Mich., pilot of the helicopter and one of the finest snowcat diers in the Air Corps, spent a busy day fanning dry with the rotor blades of his machine 200 acres of cherries which were in danger of being blighted by a rainstorm.

Xmas Cards Hold the Line As Commodity Prices Soar

(Continued From Page One) Kneitel of Abner's Gift Shop reports, have tried to picture a palm or a coconut tree, but their work has never been high enough in quality to be displayed in the fancier shops. Tropical Themes Breeding's Drugstore carried a set of 20 cards with tropical themes, the drugstore price is 98 cents .But none of the specialty shops stock this item. But most of his customers find the traditional snow scene, with horses and coach, a bit incongruous for Florida, Kneitel finds, so he goes light on ordering this type. Cards featuring the red petals of the poinsettia, a Florida flower, are popular with patrons who don't care for snow. They especially well with vacationers, who of course don't want to send snow scenes to their friends in New York. Most of Kneitel's customers buy their cards in bunches and the majority of the cards are mailed out of the state, he finds. The average patron buys one to three dozen and orders of 100 and 200 are frequent. Humor Line Silly Christmas cards get a good portion of the business. A typical foolish item is a cut-out picture of two paper bags. The legend is "From one old bag to another at Christmas time." A cute example depicts a little girl all tied up in Christmas ribbons after trying to wrap a package. She says: "I'm all wound up to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year." The National Association of Greeting Card Manufacturers estimates that more than 1,500,000,000 of their products will be exchanged in the United States between today and Christmas Day. That's more Christmas cards than there are people in the United States. The first Christmas card was designed in 1842 in London by a 16-year-old engraving apprentice named William Maw Egley. He ran off 100 copies of a quaintly cluttered card, printed on white paper with black ink, showing a formal banquet party with skaters and a wintry background. Underneath the illustration he wrote, "A Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year to You." That's still the most popular Yuletide greeting ever composed.

Police who arrested the youthful driver of the death car stated that it was a 1935 model coupe which had been "souped up" and was traveling at a high rate of speed.

Ponce to Defend Title in Debate Competition

A debating competition, won last year by two Ponce de Leon High School students, will again be conducted this year by the Sholem Lodge, B'nai B'rith, it was announced today by Jerome Weinkle, chairman. An invitation to all Dade County Schools will be extended shortly, to enter affirmative and negative teams in the contest. The winning team and coach are again promised a trip to the national capital for one week with all expenses paid. In Washington they will be feted by government officials and will be entertained by a national B'nai B'rith reception committee. Winners of last year's competition were Darrell McCall and George L. Strehlke Jr. of Ponce de Leon High School. They were the guests of Senators Claude Pepper and Spessard L. Holland in Washington and attended several sessions of the House and Senate. They were accompanied on their trip by Mrs. Herberta Leonardy, debating coach at Ponce. McCall and Strehlke went on to capture first place in twenty-four Florida debating tournaments and later distinguished themselves in several radio contests broadcast from a New York radio studio. Subject of the debate will be announced soon and, according to Weinkle, will deal with the topic of the survival of communism and capitalism in the world of today.

A course in after dinner speaking has been given at the U. S. Naval Academy for several years.

Here's How To Keep 'em Down on the Farm

MADISON, WIS. (UP)-Young people may be "persuaded" to stay on the farm, three University of Wisconsin teachers believe. They advocate remodeling the farm house so it can compete with more comfortable and convenient housing in cities. In a booklet, "When You Remodel Your Farm Home," they suggest replacing the old-fashioned kitchen with a modern one. Other rebuilding would include a bathroom, storage and storage space to make it more truly a home. The co-authors are Max Larock of the department of agricultural engineering and Margaret McCordic and Louise Young, home management experts.

'Know How' Helps Stretch Meat Budget

To make the most of your meat budget, make the most of the extras" you get with your meat. What are these "extras"? They are the extra fat cut from a well larded cut of meat; the last "bits" or pieces of meat cut from the bone, when boning a roast; the pieces of meat cut away when shaping a steak or chop or when cutting a steak into serving portions; the "tail" cut from a sirloin or t-bone; the bits of meat cut from each rib when preparing spareribs; the fat cut from a slice of ham or a pork hock; the rind cut from a whole strip or piece of bacon or salt pork, or the jowl butt; the small pieces cut from the ribs in preparing a crown roast; the bits trimmed away in "Frenching" a chop. Don't forget the bones, too! These excellent "extras" from certain meat cuts make fine soups, stocks, gravies, etc. Trimming Tricks Simmer trimmings in water with seasonings, celery tops, onions, etc. to make a broth or as a basis for stock, vegetable soup, cream soups . . . brown trimmings in hot fat and use as a basis for gravies, seasonings for casseroles, main dish pies . . . add trimmings to dishes, after browning in hot fat, such as Spanish rice; macaroni and cheese; use in the sauce for spaghetti and add to vegetable casseroles . . . combine trimmings with rice, crumbs, or vegetables, and use in stuffing for green peppers, eggplants, tomatoes . . . use fat trimmings as seasonings for sauces, gravies, soups, and in making quick, hot breads the old-fashioned way by adding chopped pieces of fat to the batter . . . saute bacon, salt pork or pork rind until crisp and use to prepare old-fashioned crackling bread, or country gravy. After sauteing, grind or chop and combine with other meats for added flavor; add to meat patties or loaves, to scrambled eggs or brains . . . chop or grind meat trimmings and add to dressings and stuffings for richer, tastier flavor . . . use crisp, sauteed rind, ground, as a topping on casseroles in place of the crumbs, for an added savory touch.

Dog's Collar and Leash Cost as Much as Pet

BY JAMES McGLINCY UP Staff Correspondent PARIS (UP)-Prices? Don't tell me about prices. The other day we bought a collar and lead for our pup. Nothin' fancy. Just an ordinary leash. Several chewings proved it was far from real leather. The price-$10. The dog had only cost $12. Cost of living? In Paris it's all cost and little living. Apart from the price of food, which is too fantastic to be believed, the ordinary commodities of day-to-day life are just about out of reach. The little box of five razor blades, for instance, costs about 25 cents. Toothpaste is as dear. Neither the blades nor the toothpaste are of good quality. A small fingernail brush in a back-street drug store sells for $1-the kind they have in the five-and-ten back home. In men's clothing prices range from $2 for a pocket handkerchief to $14 for a felt hat of a quality that would make Mr. Stetson sick. Wool socks a re$3.50; silk ties nearly $6. The pigskin gloves are nice-$8 a pair. Shirts average from $5 for $12 for poor quality. Wheelborrow eeeded A woman needs a wheelbarrow full of 5,000-franc notes to go on a shopping spree for herself he 5,000 francs being a measly 40 bucks. A shop on the Rue de Rivoli displays an ordinary corduroy jacket for a gal to toss over her shoulder on a mild fall day. It's only $91. The same number in leather sells for $289. If the lady figured she would have enough money left that it would be worthwhile having a handbag to carry it, she could get a nifty leather number in a wide variety of styles and prices, starting from $66. A good-looking but not sensational silk blouse can be found for $30. Nylons are strictly black market, and this story is concerned only with legal prices in legitimate stores, but milady can get a pair of rather coarse silk stocking, guaranteed to wear practically no time at all, for a little under $6.

N. D. Geography Makes It Hard for Student

FORT YATES, N. D. (UP)-Teaching the geographical location of cities in North Dakota is no snap, in the opinion of Ruth Mortenson, grade school supervisor at the Fort Yates Indian agency. She says even teachers get confused. "Take the city of Cavalier, for instance," she said. Cavalier is not the county seat of Cavalier county, as one would assume. Instead it's the county seat of Pembina County and Pembina is "just another town." Then there's Towner, the county seat of McHenry county-nearly 75 miles from Towner county; McKenzie in Burleigh county - nearly 75 miles from Towner county; and Hettinger, county seat of Adams county, which adjoins the county of Hettinger.

In the school agre group, 5 to 14 years, 320 children were killed in 1946 and 16,500 were injured in bicycle - automobile mishaps, the National Safety Council says.
