FLYER Lands on Highway
Lined With Power Lines

WILMINGTON, DEL.-A. w. Gar
rad, manager of the Palm Springs
(Calif.) airport, probably is begin
ming to think of a landing field as
something of luxury.
Within a week he used a wheat
field and then the eastbound lane
of a dual highway as an emergency
roost for his plane. Bringing his
ship down on the highway near here
was quite a feat, Garrard admits.
Power and phone wires lined the
roadway and left only a narrow strip
of concrete for the aviator.
Once down, Garrard TAXED his
plane into nearby driveway and
left it there overnight. State police
halted traffic for few minutes the
next morning while be took of.

After Fl Years
Dad Finds Name in List of
Draftees; Lived in Des

DES MONIES, IOWA.-A father
and his 24-year-old son at the Fort
Des Moines army post saw each
other for the first time in 81 years.
though both have lived here the last
10 years.
The son was William w. Richard
son, who goes by his middle name,
Weldon.
He was one of SO Polk county men
recruited in the fourth call under
the selective service act.
1t was the publication of the SO
names which revealed to William l..
Richardson, "A, that his son was liv-
ing in the same town and had vol
unteercd.
The youths grandfather, William
Richardson, 70. also reunited with
Weldon at the post, recalled he had
lust run down through the list to
see who l knew and was sure it
was his grandson when he came to
Weldon's name.
Separated by Divorce.
The grandfather said he had seen
the boy seven or eight years ago
but had lost track of him since and
did not even know he still lived in
Des Moines.
The father recalled he himself
joined the army in 1913 but left when
Weldon was born.
When the child was three, Will
liam l.. said, he and his wife were
divorced, and he went from Des
Moines to New York state to work
as marine engineer for eight
years.
Il tried to find where he was
while | was there the father eN-
planned.
Il wrote back to friends to see if
they knew where he was, but things
seemed to be against finding out.
II thought maybe he had changed
his name"
Then in 1927, William L. went to
Emmetsburg, Iowa, and four years
later moved back to Des Moines,
where he has been working as a
sheet metal contractor.
Hello and 'GOOd-by.'
In November, 1899, William L.,
one of three men trapped on the
hangar during the airpor- fire here,
was burned when ladder broke as
he scrambled to safety. The son re-
called he had read about the fire.
After discovery of Weldon's name,
the father looked It up in the tele-
phone book and found the son had
no telephone.
Then he got in touch with army
officers and arranged for the meet
ing.
Not until the two older men ar
rived at the post, after he had, did
Weldon know his father was to be
on hand to say hello and then
"good-by.'
As any two men meeting for the
first time, father and son talked shy
w together. Not until after many
minutes of conversation did the IA
Their suddenly learn the son is plas-
terer.
A moment later, Weldon shyly
held out his hand to say good-by.
Like the others, Weldon wore
number around his neck as he was
examined and was passed.
