EXPLORING THE WORLD
Continued from page elepen

constantly altered the land as it
was being studied. Maps would
have become obsolete long before
completion.
The only solution was an aerial
survey, including contour maps of
terrain ranging from sea level to
several thousand feet. Even with
several Photographic planes
pressed into use. the job took a
year - but was in time to rescue
region the size of Ohio and West
Virginia combined.
A big user of aerial views is
the advertising business. which
constantly seeks spectacular air
shots. To supply this demand.
Fairchild has built up the largest
library of aerial pictures in the
world, containing more than 10O.-
600 different scenes. Every Ameri-
can city of any size is on file. along
with all natural phenomena from
Niagara Falls to Grand Canyon to
erupting volcanoes. The postcard
industry also leans heavily on this
library.
To handle the mounting cry
for air shots and surveys Fair
child owns 10 Photographic
planes, manned by Is spe-
cially trained pilot-camera-
man crews. No pilot can qualify
with less than 1000 hours in the
air. and often the best fighter or
bomber pilot is a complete bust. A
good photo pilot needs special in
stincts more than anything else.
He must be inoFdinately able to fly
a straight and accurate line and
keep an altitude that is constant
to practically within feet. Also
requisite is the ability to read a
map as we'll as he can a newspaper.
Plagued by winds aloft, Fair
child designed the first enclosed
high-wing monoplane built in the
U. S., perhaps the world.
Reading Photos
Bur the best Photographic planes
and cameramen in the field would
be useless were it not for stereo-
scopic science - the art of inter-
preting and measuring distance
and sizes in photo to an accuracy
of exact feet. The men who handle
this phase of the job don't master
their instruments in weeks or even
months; it takes three years of
intense training before a man is
considered an expert with one of
the more complicated gadgets. One
result: knowing the scale of the
picture the crack analyst can
determine the precise size of any
object in the photo, whether it be
a water tower, barn. mountain or
haystack.
Aerial surveying takes many
forms but none is more elaborate
creation than that known as the
mosaic, which might contain 5000

ping purposes calls for absolutely
level fight in parallel lines. with a
specified overlap between each
successive picture and between
each adjacent flight line. Film is
fed automatically through the
camera, and the shutter clicks at
given intervals 80 that the indi-
vidual prints when assembled will
form the completed picture. So
rapidly did wartime aerial photog-
raphy develop that as much as
10000 square miles could be shot
in three hours by single plane!
For those who might think the
peacetime camera work cannot
produce dramatic mission, there
is the one Fairchild flew a few
years ago to photograph an Ari-
zona monadnock. A monadnock is
a land elevation that rises several
hundred feet high, sometimes al
most sheer from its surrounding
plain.
Scientists wished to explore this
particular one, whose steep sides
made it practically certain that no
human foot had ever trod its sum-
nit.
They asked Fairchild to make
= an aerial survey from which trail
could be plotted to the top. Then
the scientists started up, dizzy
with the belief they were the first
humans to scale the cliffs. They
were. at that, but there was
one thing the aerial survey did
not show.
Sometime previously a couple
of practical jokers who had heard
of the project few over the area
and tossed overheard a lot of
refuse. When the scientists scram-
bled to the top o. the monadnock
they found empty tin cans. rusty
razor blades. torn catcher's mitt
and an old shoe. Some of the
venerable gentlemen never did get
over the shock. The End

or more individual prints. In
World War ii hardly day passed
that didn't demonstrate the i'm
mense value of mosaics. The naval
battle of Kula Gulf was a classical
example.
Early one morning a reconnais-
sance plane reported the approach
of the Jap fleet. Our forces in the
area had no reliable charts of the
Kula Gulf region. A photo plane
took off Immediately. Its films were
developed, printed, and the COM
plete mosaic delivered to the task
force commander by three that
afternoon. From the mosaic safe
course was plotted between the
islands. through dangerous, reef
infested waters - allowing our
feet to surprise and smash the
Japs.

Coal Miners
Streaming Back
To Their Pits


WASHINGTON. Dec. 9.-Tens
of thousands of soft-coal miners,
many of them sullen, are stream
ing back to their pits today. The
sullenness was caused by an 18-
day payless vacation" taken by
100000 members of the United
Mine Workers Union.
The United States Supreme
Court is expected to announce
sometime this week whether or
not it will review the proceed
ings against Lewis and the mine
workers, in the federal district
court, presided over by Judge T.
Alan Goldsborough.
Many thousands of men in
other occupations, laid off be-
cause of the scarcity of coal, re-
turned to work today, though
others will not return for several
days. 1t was said that the coal
shortages will be overcome by
the end of this week, except in
the steel industry, where it will
require a fortnight for the fuel
condition to become normal.
Should the United States Su-
preme Court decide to revoke the
case, it was estimated that prob
ably a month will elapse before
a decision is rendered.

Beach Club Given
Back To Sweeney
Sisters By Navy

The Nays civilian beach
club, located at the south end of
Simonton street, is being return
ed to the owners of the property
today, according to an announce
ment by Captain w. A. Saunders,
USN, commanding officer of the
Naval Submarine Base.
Leased by the Civilian We'll
fare and Recreation Committee
from the Sweeney sisters in 1914,
the beach club was a favorite
recreation area of hundreds of
Naval employees and their
guests during the peak of war
time employment here.
Use of the beach has decreased
in recent months because of
curtailed employment, and it was
recently determined by the COM
mittee to comply with the re-
quest of the owners and return
the property to them.
The committee will continue
to function and provide recrea-
tional activities for Naval en-
ployees, Captain Saunders said.
Next activity planned is a Xmas
party for the children of clSfifan
EMPLOYEES.

Two Injured As
Cars Sideswipe
At Sugar Loaf

Two automobiles, in one of
which were Berlin A. Sawyer,
Jr., and William L. Young, mana
ger of the Pirates Cove Fishing
Camp, and in the other, Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Grady and
Frank j. French, l Denham
Terrace, Key West, sideswiped
.on the Overseas Highway, Sugar
Loaf, at 7:30 Saturday evening,
and Young's left arm was bro
ken and Sawyer was cut on the
hands and forehead. Occupants
of the other car were uninjured.
Sawyer and Young were driv-
ing to the fishing camp with.
$50 pounds of ice, while the other
car was coming toward Key West
when the accident happened.
The Sawyer car turned over and
rolled into water that came up
over the tseat. Sawyer crawled
out of the car and then pulled
out Young. Both. were taken
to the Key West General Hos
pital.
Mr.. and Mrs. Grady and
French came to town in another
car. 1t was not long after they
left their damaged automobile
that 'vultures," as Sheriff Saw
yer characterized them, began
to strip it. They had taken sew
eral things and had broken open
the trunk when they were
frightened away by the approach
of a wrecking car, driven by W.
c. Sweeting.
He said today that he immedi-
ately noticed that "vultureS" had
been working on the car, and
that he removed everything, in
Guiding a radio, that they were
likely to try to get when they
returned. Grady thought that his
radio had been stolen also, and
was relieved this morning when
told by Sweeting that he had the
radio in his garage.
The Sawyer car is total
wreck. The Grady car has a
fender and a running board
torn off and a bent axle.

REALTY SALE REMINDFUL OF
Chris Kemp, Blind SaUed By Dog From Flaming House
X
TRAINER SEEINC-EYE, DOGS

ened by the dogs barking, and,
by the smell of smoke and the
crackle of burning wood, became
aware the house was on fire. He
attached a leash to the dogs col
lar and was led down the stairs
to the first floor, where he felt
the heat of the flames. Reaching
the front door, the dog jumped
iup on it, scratching and barking,
and Chris ran his right hand over
the door till he found the kob.
He turned the key and then the
knob and opened the door, and
was led across the street by the
dog.
Newspapers, particularly in Los
Angeles and San Francisco, gave
long accounts. of Chris rescue by
the dog. 1t then occurred to Chris
that what his dog was doing for
him other dogs could do for other
blind people. So Chris began to
train seeing-eye dogs for the
blind.
His understanding of dogs was
said to be uncanny, but he claim
ed no unusual ability in training
them. He did maintain that, with
patience, he got so close to "dog
nature" he could make them un-
derstand almost anything. A book
was written about his experiences
in training dogs for the blind, and
had a wide circulation in western
states.

Sale today of the Benjamin
Kemp homestead, southeast cor
ner of Eaton and William streets,
recalls the first trainer of seeing
eye dogs in the United States, the
late Christensen Kemp, called
"Chris" by his friends, who was
led safely out of flaming build
ing by his faithful canine friend.
Chris, son of Benjamin Kemp,
was born in Key West and resid-
ed here many years after his IA
theirs death So years ago.
In those days stock companies
came to Key West every winter
to give performances in San Car
los and Odd Fellows hall. Best
remembered member of those
companies was Frank Hayes, a
comedian, whom Mrs. Kemp mar
RED several years after Ben
jan4in Kemp's death. The last
company in which he performed
in Key West was the Charles w.
Chase Stock Company. Chase was
the father of Charles, Jr., gen.
orally called Pete" Chase. He
left here % years ago to work for
Carl Fisher, developer of Miami
Beach, and still resides in that
city.
A few years after Mrs. Kemp
married Frank Hayes, they and
Mrs. Kemp's children went to
California to make their home. II
was in that state that Chris be-
came totally blind. For a time he
was at a loss what to do, then
he decided to train a dog to be-
