Flying Cloud
BY Joan Knowles

BY Joan Knowles
Last Spring, when Troop 8 de-
cided toenter the Nautical part
of Senior Girl Scouts (Mariners),
we were without a name for our
shin. During the months that
followed every girl was pouring
over books for a suitable name.
After many suggestions, all OF
which were holly debated, we
decided upon the name Flying
Cloud, clipper ship whose name
and history appealed TO us.
Flying Clouds history began
Just one hundred years ago when
she was launched at New York
City on April is. 1851. She was
built by Donald Mckay who also
built such famous ships as Stag
bound, Lightning, Westward
Ho,' and Sovereign of the Seas
She was the subject of much
skepticism because of her sleek.
clear line, and sharply pointed
bow.
Certainly she would pillow un-
der the first big sea they met.
Why, a ship with a hull shap-
ed like the Flying Clouds was
tempting fate! She'd land in
Davy Jones locker for sure!
But the FLYING Cloud was
well named. She made record
sailing-from so degrees South
Atlantic to SO degrees South Pa
cific in seven days, entering
Golden Gate on August 81, 1851,
80 days and 81 hours from New
York.
With such an inspiration be-
fore us we will have to work
hard to uphold the honor of our
ship. the Flying Cloud"l

Production Record
For Second Week
By the Associoisd Press

CLEVELAND, Jan. 29.-Ameri-
can steel mills have posted their
second all-time production record
within two weeks, Steel Magazine
declared yesterday.
Ingot production last week
amounted to an estimated 2,000,-
600 ingot tons, the Woodworking
journal said. The previous week
a new record was set when 1891
600 tons were rolled out. That
had topped a previous mark of
l 100000 tons set in mid Novem-
Der.
Noting that more steel produc-
ing facilities are being built, the
magazine predicted that the ma
ton might turn out more than
los. 100000 tons this year.
Capacity at present is rated at
104. 229,650 tons annually. Pro-
duction last week was at 100 per
cent OF capacity. The previous
week it had been at 95.5 per cent
OF capacity. About 96,700,000 tons
were rolled out last year.
The rate at which new steel
making facilities are being con-
structed caused the magazine to
note that indication now are that
by the end Of 1852 ingot capacity
will top 117,500,000 tons, more
than two million tons above earlier
estimates"
In line with Government re-
quest for voluntary action even
before Fridays official freeze,
prices remained virtually frozen"
last week, the magazine said. It's
