Men Sought Means of
Flying Centuries Ago

Flying in motor driven airplanes
had its birth December II, 1908, on
the sand hills near Kitty Hawk, \.
c., when Wilbur and OrVllle
Wright achieved the first authenti-
Gated flight in heayier-than-air ma.
chine, but flying was in the minds
of men centuries before that.
The story of mans longing to fly
comes down in hundreds of legends
mixed with fact, about individuals
who flew ana those who tried IL
and died. Probably the original
flying legend is the Greek story
about Daedalus, who made a pair
of wings with which he flew, and
his son, Icarus. who took them out
one day and came TO grief when
he got SO near the sun that the wax
wings melted.
Giovanni Baptisti Danti, late III
400, is said 10 have flown across
the Piazza of Perugia, italy, in
what seems TO have been an au
thentic glider. 1t was bout this
time that Leonardo tn Tifci be-
gan to study the possibilities of
fight from the scientific angle and
made helicopter of paper, wire
and springs that really lifted itself.
Following this there were numer-
Gus experiments with elders, some
of them successful, but not until

AS soon as you arrive in Auek-

peculiar character of this most orig
inal of dominions; u blissful land
where the 100000 British set

form only small and transient
groups-are producing and export
ing precious raw materials and en-
gaging in sports of every conceiv-
able kind, which they pursue with
Incredible verve and enthusiasm.
They are also fully convinced of
their superiority to the rest Of
mankind and of the unique priyi-
lege they enjoy in living in these
Islands. They have their reasons
down pat.
We must not smile at the ques-
tionnaire TO be filed before dis
embarking in New Zealand. In it
you must promise before the AL
mighty to be good, TO observe
strictly the wise laws of the land,
and, finally, TO remember that The
experience. of spending even Il brief
period of your existence in these
Islands is something TO be proud Of
for the rest of your life.
