MAYNARD WON LOCAL
FAME IN TREE CLIMB

The following article was copiet
from the Wilmington, N. C. Morning
Star and was sent home by the Rev.C
| F. Whitlock who is in Wilmington The
fearless aviator was close friend te
the Whitlock family and was a room
mate Of DR.. R. F. Whitlock, of Monett
while they were attending Dell school
at Delway, N. C.
| The late Lieut.. Belvin w. Maynard,
known as the "Flying Parson," whose
tragic death Thursday grieved friends
throughout the nation, climbed the
first round on the ladder of local fame
while barefoot lad attending Dell
school, at Delway, Sampson county,
according to story related by old
friends Sunday.
Near che school there was a 70 foot
pine tree, and during a recess period,
several of the students dared Belvin
to climb this tree and place the
American flag at the top.
Without a moments hesitation,
young Maynard climbed the tree,
placed the flag at the very top, shin
ned down, skinning his shins to some
extent.
Thus began Maynard's climb to
local fame, and in 1914 he climbed to
fame when he made his
famous trans-continental airplane
flight.
"And with all his fame, he was just
the same" said one life long friend
and companion. He never lost the
common touch" another reported, and |
with all his renown, he was the same
Belvin Maynard to his friends as he
vas before he stepped into the blare
IF the calcium.
His first experience with gasoline
engine, he narrated by friends, occur
'ed when a lad. He bought one of
hose old fashioned motor trucks,
equipped with wheels similar to those
IN buggies. \
He and a companion started off in
he machine, going briskly down the
Dad for about two miles, when the
ngine died deader than Hector. 4,
Both boys were dressed III their
sunday duds, but "they got out and
rot under" and it was not long be-
ore their spick and span clothes re-
embed the overalls of an automobile
Mechanic, Maynard asked his COM
anion: what do you think the
nachine is worth? 2" and the other re-
lied:
81 don't think it's worth the two
uits of clothes we have ruined on it,"
But Maynard finally conquered the
tubborn engine and he drove the
uaint machine over Sampson county !.
