Highly unfavorable flying wealth

during the past two weeks has
modified the air traffic owe Will
mington to a mere trickle. Never
theless, an occasional fair day
brought the fly-fly boys out to their
favorite runWays in search OF high
attitude relaxation.
The two G. I. training programs
have monopolized the spotlight in
regard to flight activities. Both
Warren Pennington, of Pennington
Flying Service, and Carl Dunn, OF
the Wilmington Airpark, have set
up schools of this nature. They
provide veterans with an oppor-
tunity to receive flying instruction
under the G. 1. Bill equivalent to
four years of college; including
ground instruction regarding navi-
cation, m~eteorology, rules Of the
road, and so forth, as well as the
lessons with the stick and rudder
pedals.
Warren Informed us that since
the middle of August he has enroll
ed SIS G. I. students. all of whom
have solo-ed with the exception of
a few who have moved out of town.
Many of these have already qualifi-
ed for their private tickets-which
require from 30-35 solo hours, and
permit them to carry passengers
and several more including An
drew Kure, c. J. Halliday, and
Buddy Meggs, are ready to be
checked out for their privates this
| week.

Eleven G. I. students who com.
pleted private license requirements
some time ago have gone into ad-
vanced flight instruction and are
logging in time in the PT-23's. All
II are hot on the rtail of a COM
mercial ticket, and include Tommy
and Jimmy Salmon, Comfy Whaley,
Bill Hayes, Dwane Josenhans,
Robert Kittle, E. J. Smith, Jimmy
Simmins, and Bill Williams. Tom
my Salmon heads this crew, having
logged in 9: flying hours-including
% hours of cross-country-and has
already started night-flying. War
rem started that he expects to
check several of the others out
on night flights with the arrival
of the next stretch clear weather.
Meanwhile, out at the Airpark,
Carl Dunn enlightened US on the
progress of the recently-inaugurat-
ed G.. I. school. The first class
was exposed tc "higher education"
early in January with a roster OF
Is a%hspirants. To-date, all have
solo-ed, and one-Tommy Hines
has forged ahead to be the first INT
to qualify for a private tag. The
remaining IA, headed by Tommy
Orrell, Harvey Heally, Muck Dunn,
and Bruce Cameron, are expecting
to follow suit in the near future.

RALEIGH, March 15-The need
for some sort of court to pass
upon claims against the State III
North Carolina or its subsidiary
agencies by persons feeling they
have been damaged in person or

many years. Up to now this mat

Senator Robert Simms of Wake
and Oscar Richardson of Union
propose to do something about.
They jointly sponsored a bill au-
thorizing the governor to appoint
a commission of three representa-
tives and two senators to study
the matter and report to the next
general assembly.
Every session of the legislature
has from one to three dozen local
bills providing FOR compensation
Of persons damaged by school
buses or highway trucks or by
overflow water from roads or by
accident in state buildings or
some such cause. There have per-
haps been fewer of these compen-
sation bills this year than usual,
but to top the list was the bill
passed by the house last week to
compensate a man for wrongful
imprisonment about a quarter
century ago. Also last week a law

so point out that members of the
highway commission, the state
board of education and other
groups charged with carrying on
state business are appointed be-
cause of qualifications other than
ability to adjudicate damage
claims. Establishment of a court
of claims would not only relieve
these officials of burdens they are
not equipped to handle but would
almost certainly assure more
equitable treatment of claimants
having just grievance against the
state.
