Pilot Fined SlOO For l947 Crash

SEATTLE, (P)-Afederal court jury cleared an Alaska airlines pilot of carelessness last night, but convicted him of trying an in- strument landing at Boeing Field with too low a ceiling in 1947.
 The pilot was James E. Farris. After his landing attempt at Boe- ing failed, he continued to the Seattle-Tacoma airport, where the plane crashed and burned with loss of nine lives.
 For attempting the Boeing land ing with a ceiling lower than that prescribed by civil aeronautics ad- ministration regulations, Farris was fined $1OO. The government had asked he be fined $1,000.
 Farris denied both the govern ment's charges, brought by the CAA. He maintained he did his best to make safe landing, de- spite excessive engine rough ness," poor visibility and defec- tive brakes.
 Government attorneys also charged Farris landed at exces- sive speed and more than halfway down the runway. Defense attor- neys declared other engine rough ness and hydraulic brake failure hampered operations.

Ten years ago, fewer than half of
West Virginia's teachers had been
teaching 10 years or more. This year
two-thirds Of them have seen ten
years service or over. This tendency
to remain in the profession and make
teaching a career is believed due to
greater security for teachers because
OF better salaries and the retirement

and started a term Of service as
United States revenue agent
Through the rest of his life he con-
tinued his interest in the drug bust
ness, while giving his own attentions
to other types of work. In 1869 he
was chosen as Mayor of Williams
port, on the Republican ticket, with
out opposition. At the expiration of
the first term, he was reelected.
Twice he served as a commissioner
on the town board and in 1875 he
was elected member of the House

While in the Legislature, Mr.. JOS
eph Farrow strove for the passage
of bill that provided for equal tax

except for churches and cemeteries.
And another measure that he ia
vored and tried to see passed increas-

In 1879, after having said that he
would not run for the Senate. he ac-

related to what have always hoped
for, that this section would be made
park, but the idea of road in the
old canal bed is not what would
like to see. Why could not there be
road following the canal taking the
towpath where possible and keep
ing little higher, so that high wa

like to see the old canal bed opened
to the flowing of waters from the Po-
