News Of FairchiId
Aircraft Division

A letter of contract for substan-
TALLY increased number of Fairchild
Clio Packets has been received by
the Fairchild Aircraft Division ac-
cording to an announcement made
last week by w. L. Landers, general
manager. Security restrictions do
not permit disclosure of the exact

total dollar value of the contract, but
Air Material Command officials did
disclose that both the United States
Air Force and Navy were scheduled
to receive the twin engine Flying
Boxcars They will be built at the
Hagerstown plant
The contract is a large one and
will call for the gradual stepping up
of the present production rate AS a
result of the increased schedule it
will be necessary to sub-contract a
greater portion of the Clio work.
The new contract is part of the
current military aircraft production
expansion program to implement
manufacture of vitality needed air
craft for defense requirements. Cur
rently the backbone of the Combat
Cargo Command in Korea, the Fair
child C-119's are hauling and drop
ping a great variety of military
equipment to front-line troops. The
Flying BoXcars, operating under
brutal and rugged conditions, are
maintaining maximum effort sched-
ule to deliver critically needed ma
Terrell such as 105mm and 155mm
howitzers, 10000 pound wire rolls,
prime movers, bridge sections, ra-
tions, etc
Equipped with two 3500-horsepow-
er engines, the Fairchild Clio Pack
ct can carry up to 10000 pounds OF
cargo. When used as troop trans
port it carries AZ fully equipped
paratroopers plus 20 500-pound cans
of supplies which are parachuteo
from the plane along with the troop
ers. Its rectangular cargo compart-
ment has capacity of 2700 cubic
feet, the equivalent of a full sizec
railroad freight car.

Orchids this week to the
Hardin high school basketball
squad. .- .:~.
We got to see only one of
the games at the recent South
ern division tourney at Laurel,
but from reports and observa-
lions, we're as proud of the
team as we could be if they
we're this years champions.
None of the 10 members of
the squad we're short on sports
manship. Some of the team
members took a lot of razzing
and abuse in stride-an art
which we think is the principal
benefit of high school athletics.
Incidentally, the squad turned
in an excellent account of
themselves at the hoop by
placing third and keeping Lau-
rel on their toes to top them
in Monday nights anti-climax.
