MODEL AIRPLANE
 MAKERS PROTEST
Voice Disagreement With State Commissioner on
 Dangers Involved

Danger to commercial airplanes in their sorties through Waterbury skies as charged against small gas model planes was scoffed at last night by members of the Waterbury Gas Model Plane club. It was voted to submit facts concerning operation of the models to Charles L Morris, state commissioner of aeronautics, in an attempt to get him to modify his ban on gas mod. els operations in the skies.
 The main indictment of the coni- missioner was that the gas model planes are out of control of the op- orator after they leave the ground. To this Daniel Mirabilio, club presi- dent, replied in the following state- ment:
 "Our club has been conducting contests of its own for several months, and has engaged in larger contests, and no serious accidents have occurred. It may be true that gas model planes crash and burn but that occurs only rarely. and has not occurred to our knowledge in Connecticut. The chances of fire are negligible, be- cause the planes remain in the air until the gas supply is exhausted. Only a small amount of gas is used in a contest, and the planes rarely attain an altitude of 20 feet. Our club members have never heard of a model plane reaching an altitude of 1000 or sort of 8 menace to commercial planes.
 we believe that there is dan- ger in flying these ships at com- mercial airports where big ships are landing and taking off, and we believe the practice shouldl be stopped. Our own club flies its plaines fro ma field in the open country in Watertown. No planes have been lost at this field. Most of them, as a matter of fact do not leave the boundaries of the field, let alone get out of sight. One reason for care in handling them is that they cost from $50 to $50 for materials, plus many hours of hard work, and the average owner is taking no chances of losing his ship. or damaging it.
 We believe that a solution of the problem can be found |. in stricter regulations for the planes, restricting the amount of gas which they can carry. the places where they may be flown and ex-

THE SOUTH AS A FRONTIER

"The covered wagons are coming back" said John
Temple Graves of the Bennington Age-Herald and one of the
S0uths most noted writer's, to the State Chemurglc
Meeting at jackson this week.
'They are coming South to the nations last economic
frontier a pioneer has crossed. In aI the other frontier cross
mgs the pioneers have come from afar off. They have come
into a spiritually and socially barren land. They have had
to build their civilization after they had earned their bread
and meat, and the civilization they have built has been
harsh at first with the smell Of that meat, coarse at
first with the crust of that bread. But in the
South today the pioneers find a civilization already on the
spot. A civilization distinguished by certain brave gentiities
of spirit, a way of life, a tradition of gracious and graceful
living. A civilization distinguished too by an awful poverty
of body that threatens the gentilty of soul, a poverty of
system, OF soil, of science, of men, a poverty that breeds all
manner of hates, sptes bigotries, prosecutions, maladjust-
ments and misfts'
And the same poverty of mind and of spirit is going to
continue to prevail IN every crossroad, every community,
town and city in our state until Mississippians learn to
appreciate the opportunities they have at home -. until
they are educated to the fact that Mississippi made products
are unexcelled in the world. -. and call for them when they
go to buy.
The two words 'self-sufficient'' denote more, we venture
to say, than any other two words in the English language.
What a great and profitable and pleasant life this would be
II we could all be self-sufficient as a city and as a state!

NEW FRIGIDARE
GREATER CONVENIENCE
SAYS FINCHER co,

One of the greatest convenien-
ces attached to the use OF the
electric refrigerator since its adj
vent was the making of ice cubes
for table or beverage use. In the
light of the advantage Of having
them available, the inconvenience
that often was a part of the re-
moval of trays and individual
cubes was overlooked or tolerat-
ed.
Yet even manufacturers of cleo
trio refrigerators conceded that
some day somebody would solve
the problem of ice tray and ice
cube removal, making this task
as simple as removing a bottle of
milk from the food compartment.
This prophecy now sees its full
fillment in the announcement of
the 1897 line of Frigidaires with
their instant cube release trays,
according to the Fincher Co., To-
cal Frigidaire dealer.
Peculiarly enough, he said
"this problem was one best known
TO users of electric refrigerators.
People who have not yet used au-
tomato refrigerators in their
hor,ea. would not normally appre-
ciate this problem as they scan
the market for a refrigerator for
the home. Nor is the fact that ice
trays freeze fast in the freezing
unit or that cubes freeze fast in
the divider grid necessarily a
a mark against the refrigerator
itself. The fact that these items
are freezing very tightly in their
respective compartments indicates
that there is at least a reasonable
supply of cold in the unit. The
problem has never been one OF
preventing this, but rather OF
finding a practical way Of releas-
ing both tray and cube when ice
is wantcd.
"The 1897 Frigidaire solves
this problem completely, perman-
emily and satisfactorily. Trays
themselves are released with the
now famous automatic tray re,
lease which delivers the tray, nc
matter how tightly frozen, at the
touch of a finger. But removing
the cubes from the tray and from
between the grids also is made
the work of only a second with
the revolutionary new instant
cube release. One cube may be
taken OF the entire supply. Only
metal trays and grids r used
thus insuring the fastest possible
freezing time in a refrigerator
that is already recognized as a
supper fast freezer. There is nc
heat applied. No holding of trays
or grids under tap water is nee.
essary, and therefore there is NJ
possible wastage of valuable ice
Every fraction of an ounce of ice
is preserved for actual use. AnC
whatever inconvenience has ex
listed heretofore in the matter o.
home ice making is now gone for
ever in the new Frigidaire.
"This particular feature of tn,
new models is but one of a mum
Der of advantages found LISTED
under one of the basic standard,

ard known as greater ice-ability
Included under this will be found
the advantage of super fast freez-
ing, and the advantage of having
plenty of below freezing storage
temperatures for the preservation
of ice cubes after they have been
removed from the trays and be-
fore they are needed for service.
Coupled with other standards
of greater food storage-ability,
greater save-ability, greater-de-
pendability and greater food pro-
reliability, the new 1887 Frigi-
daire stands as a revolutionary
development of the industry"

independence for tinsel or trappings.
A young man with a good job and bright future fell for

In his new place he has become a little yes-man for both

He has sacrificed for political preference and when I last

widow and was haunted by bad dreams. The Highest Salary
One Ever Draws is His Intellectual Independence.
