Vance said, "You look like a pic

wear anything like that when you

Registration Coming
Along, Club Reports

Members of the N. C. Sorosis re-
ported yesterday that the registra-
ton of all women in New Hanover
county is coming along nicely, but
urged as many persons as possible
to fill out cards at the schools today.
The completed registration will
perform many services in the COM
munity, including locating inactive
nurses for the North Carolina Nurs-
ing association.

Riding the Wind

HE technique of gliding or soaring, of
course, depends on using rising air currents
to maintain altitude. The novice usually
starts with slope soaring: gliding around
in the upward surge of air where steady
wind blows against hill or slope. Then he
advances to thermal soaring: riding on the
warm currents which continually rise from
the earth and form clouds when their tenn
perature has been lowered to the dew point
At lower attitudes, these thermals are in
visible, naturally but their presence is usually
betrayed by the clouds above. However, So
called dry thermals" exist without clouds,
but skilled soaring pilots often utilize these.
too. Chester Decker, for example, scared 233
miles on perfectly cloudless day. You detect
the thermal by bump of the plane when you
ride into it. The stunt, then, is to ride the
rising current until it begins to peter out,
then to glide off in search of another thermal
in order to regain altitude. Thermals, Incl
dentally, are quite strong over cities.
The next step is street flying" in which
the pilot picks long streak of small clouds
and. flying under them. uses one thermal
after another to make distance In this FASH

determined marker. These and score of
similar achievements in recent years are what
make soaring sport with future.
And what sport! Imagine combination
of the best features of skiing and sailboating
and you have soaring. It's not too difficult
to learn lone boy soloed after only two hours
of Instruction.; it's not too expensive as a
club project; it's not dangerous if followed
intelligently. Indeed, one club has trained
over 600 students in single-seat ("single-
place") planes without mishap, and other
large clubs have comparable records.
One reason for this is that in gliding you
learn to creep before you walk" Initial
instruction usually starts with the plane
being towed along the ground by car, the
student learning to master the controls and
keep his wings level Then he advances, still
on towline. to an altitude of about 10 feet
until he learns to keep the ship under control
in the air. BY degrees he works up to around
50 feet; at rs feet he starts practicing turns,
and by the time he is ready for free flight
he knows pretty well how to handle himself
Now, with two-place gliders and dual con-
trols teaching is further simplihed.
New gliders range in price from about
5000 for utilities to 1850 or $1,000 for
sailplanes. Some utility gliders can be bought
in kit form for about $3.50 and can be assem-
bled by the buyer. Such figures, while not
excessive, point to the logic of soaring clubs
as means of pooling expenses as well as
skils. More than 100 such clubs have been
represented at the National Soaring Contests
which are held each summer at Elmira, N Y,
their initiation fees ranging from $40 to $50
and their monthly dues from one to five
dollars

at about 1000 feet under a continuous chain
of puffy little clouds.
Finally, the ultimate in soaring thrills
is the relatively new stunt of thunder cloud
flying an adventure which requires not
only great Skill iron nerves and high
performance sailplane, but also calls for a
parachute and an oxygen tank.
Express Elevator
j xIMIDLy at first, but with increasing con-
fidence, crack glider men began to experiment
with thunder clouds few years ago, discov-
ering that inside big cumulus cloud it is
possible to glide in circles on a rising current
of such great force that some have gained
an altitude of 10000 feet in five minutes.
This, of course, is blind or instrument
flying. Smooth at first, the ascent becomes
more turbulent, frequently turning the ship
on its back. What begins as a light rain in
creases in ferocity until it is pelting down.
pour or sleet and hail which may riddle
wings and fuselage. Although you started up
on hot summer day, your sailplane is soon
covered with ice, and one by one your instru-
ments freeze and cease to function. But 50
long as your controls and your turn indicator
are working (the latter being an instrument
that tells whether the wings are level, you
can continue up into the cap of the cloud -
if you are brave. BY then your pretty sail
plane will be bucking and heavng like a
of
currents which may well tear it apart; and
you will find temperatures around 30 below
zero or even lower. With your instruments
failing rapidly, you hardly know whether
you are flying head up or head down, for,
shrouded in cloud, your earthbound senses
are valueless.
Sailplanes have been torn apart in thun-
derheads and pilots have had to bail out.
Yet 50 terrific is the updraft in the center
of a cumulus cloud (the downdraft is around
the outer perimeter) that parachutists have
been carried up in them 50 high that their
faces, feet and hands have been frozen.
1t goes without saying, of course, that
there are plenty of lesser thrills in soaring
The very sensation of silent gliding, mile
or two above the earth, is indescribable. To
power plane men, that uncanny silence is at
first terrifying, but even they soon learn to
enjoy it. Two of our outstanding glider per-
formers are Flight Captain Shelly Charles,
of Eastern Airlnes, who recently put on
soaring show for the Duke of Windsor, and
Lieutenant Robert Stanley, test pilot for
Bell Aircraft.
When men who fly for business soar for
fun, it becomes apparent that there must be
terrific fascination in drifting noiselessly
along at five or six thousand feet until pres
entity hawks and eagles circle silently along
side totally unafraid of this strange new bird
in their realm.
But what purpose does all this serve you
ask? In my opinion, clean, constructive,
