The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-12-20

 Luther Heidger, Dr Rudolph Staw- owczyk, Dr Joseph Levy, Al Zotack, Hugh Herndon and Dorrance Perry took off from the Mollison airport promptly at 10:30 o'clock for half hour flight over Bridge port, and Stratford.
 Fred Moller flew Fat point" and the group slowly circled the airport as requested by the department of air commerce in commemoration of the first flight by the Wright Brothers, S1 years ago.
 Although official orders are not out as yet, we understand that either Captain Edwin c. Musick, chief pilot for the Pan-American Airway system or Captain Boris Sergievsky, chief test pilot for the Sikorsky company will have the Clipper No. in the air.
 Morris Shumofsky of Bridgeport is one pilot around these part that takes advantage of every clear Sun day to get in as much flying time as he can. If Morris keeps it up he'll soon have as many lair hours'' as Col Charles A. Lindbergh, Americas No. 1 flyer.
 Fantastic? Silly? We'll wonder. It's not so many years ago that a world laughed at the Wright Brothers. Yet look what has hap pened in the world of flying since that time. All of which is a sort of preamble to yarn we heard from James c. Boudreau, artist flyer and director of the School of Fine Arts of Pratt Institute. Boudreau predicted in a recent address before members of the en- gineering society of Columbia uni versity that the business man who now drives to work in his car will within ten years be able to fly to New York, park the wings and airport and then drive his tear" to business. He illustrated his talk with crayon sketches. Sure, they Yep, that's just what they did when the Wright Brothers talked about flying back in 1902"
 Albert Dow of the Spring Perch Replacement company of Bridge port has completed construction a monocoupe model, with Q wing spread of six feet and a Brown Jr, motor. The ship is now in possess sion of his nephew Frcedie Hurley of 14T0 Main street, Stratford. First flifiht was held at the Mollison field recently and a high wind caused a crackup. A new wing Is being built with an additional two feet in spread.
 Those 300 or more boys who crowded into the Stratford high school one night last week for a real evening of aviation heard and saw one of the best programs pre- scented around here in long time. Hugh Herndon gave the youngsters good solid advice and told them the real facts about endurance flights, long distance hops and the aviation business in general. Former Deputy Aviation Commits sioner Jack Lenox boosted Connec- ticut stock when he told the boys instructors in this state are equal to any in the country.
 PAA's movies of 'The Lindbergh Trail' with shots Of the $40 Clip per ships and the Consolidated Commodores were so small part of the program. Moller tells us he's going to have more right after the holidays.
 Passenger service on the Ameri- can Airline run between New York and Chicago should pick up plenty with the announcement from the company that the new giant Doug las transport planes on the line are to have a stewardess aboard. This third member of the crew, and they sure pick 'em nice, will devote her time to making each fiighE as enjoyable as possible for the passengers, we are told. A complete commissary is built into the plant from which lunches will be served.
 Dr Stawowczyk and Lew Grie- bel, are arguing rlenty these days at the Mollison field. Lew made his first flight with "Doc" recent ly and for fifteen minutes the Bridgeport dentist climbed his ship to ''sort of show off for Lew" When they came down Lew said ice had formed on the wings and Doc claimed the wings perspired. Books of Knowledge and Facts on Aviation are in demand between the pair.
 osa's Ark, which the Martin Johnson's loaned to the Civic Wal- faro committee in New York last week is now at Roosevelt Field. Captain sereievsiky piloted the ship over Now York with Ruth Nichols and other famous personages aboard.
