HALLETTS ADD
NEW COURSES
IN AVIATION
Ground School, Flying In
structions to be Given by
Licensed Mechanic From
Large Flying Service

Carrying on their program of
continuous development, Hallett
Anyways, Inc, has added to its
schedule a thorough ground course
and special mechanical course
In addition to these, the expansion
of instruction, transportation and
equipment makes it possible for the
corporation to meet all the de-
mands of the flying public.
j. L. Cooper, licensed airplane
and engine mechanic and ground
school instructor, arrived from Spo-
kane last Thursday to work with
the Halletts. Cooper has been an
instructor for both Manner and
Rankin schools of flying.
George Hallet, in speaking Of
the part aviation is playing in mo-
dern life, commented on the atti-
tude toward flying.
"Public skepticicism as to the
safety of the airplane for transpor-
tation has retarded the use of the
newest and fastest means of trans
portation," he said. Until recent
ly the safety laws have not been
strictly enforced. This last month
the State of Washington took an
interest in enforcing the public
safety against careless operators,
when it passed a law requiring all
commercially operated planes 20
he licensed.
"The airplane industry has
evolved during the past five years
from a few obsolete wartime
stunt planes to the present status
of seventh among the many indus
tries of our country. When pub
lie confidence is established and the
value of general use is learned it
should add another angle to life"
