FLYER DECIDES
MINISTRY WILL
BE MUCH SAFER

ST. PAUL, MINI, Feb. 4. UP
Five narrow escapes from death
decided Edward Fries. "a. who has
given up flying and is studying
Tor the ministry, he has revealed.
Fries made his first airplane
flight with Colonel Charles A. Lind
bergh and since that time has
made hundreds OF flights. as well
as parachute jumps and other
stunts.
Fries experience began when he
was Is and ran away from home.
He got as far as Falls City. Neb.,
where he met a transforming pilot
named Charles Lindbergh. Fries
asked the aviator to teach him to
fly. Lindbergh gave Fries lessons
and the boy acted as parachute
jumper in exhibitions.
Under the name of E. J. Dixon,
the youth travelled on barnstorm-
ing tours. His most serious crash
occurred in St. Charles, Mo, where
he fell 300 feet and fractured both
knee caps, one leg and six ribs as
well as his jawbone.
My most novel crash occurred
when I made a forced landing in
the dark on the roof of a hanger"
Fries said. Il craWled out of the
plane safely and feeling the gravel
on the hanger roof, believed I was
on the ground.
II walked from the plane, seek
ing a light, but reached the end
of the roof, where I plunged 40
