he gets 1t. Hudkins doesn't have to
make q life work out Of beating
Samuel up. 1t Is good bet he can

Samuel clearly indicated the APP

round when he went down claiming

TINY A|RPLANE HAS
 TRYOUT 0N BEACH
 0F RESURRECTION BAY

Although the advertisement said anybody" could put it together in short time, Mayor L. V. Ray had to call in the expert assistance of Rex Chamberlain, cabinet maker, to assemble his small model air plane which he had purchased for his son Lee, and Chamberlain spent his evenings for two weeks tuning the tiny ship up for it's trial flights.
 The little ship is about three feet long, complete in every detail. It is modelled after the Fokker mono plane and is an exact replica of Commander Byrd's famous ship with which he flew over the North Pole.
 Last Sunday they took the ship out to the beach at the head of Resurrection Bay for tryout. It is propelled by a long rubber band which is wound with a stick and it's controls can be set that it will fly in a straight line or a circle. Two flights of about 50 feet were made, the machine taking off and alight- 1 ing on it's wheels just like any reg ular airplane. On the second flight one of the delicate wings hit the ground first and was slightly dam aged.
