ANOTHER IN "A SERIES ON Avia+ion Safety Discussions
D. M. Gretzer
 for The Office of Aviation Safety

ne oiI1Se O4 Af1dAAOA ooACAX
 E. Dale Gilman and his wife, prominent Anchorageites, were killed in an airplane accident near Los Angeles, Sunday, Feb ruary II.
 We do not know the details, nor what it was that led to final disaster, but the omineus words fog" and night appeared in newspaper dispatches.
 In aviation circles, Dale Gil man represented the typical private pilot. He learned to fly in middle age, bought an air plane, and used it for vacation trips. He flew for pleasure. It should have been safe, yet he never lived to complete his first great pleasure cruise.
 Tn the minds of his host of friends there must continually run the question, Why, Why?" The question points finger at so many of us. We in aviation somehow sold him on flying, its advantages and pleasures; then somewhere we let him down.
 Are the attainment standards for d private piioI foo low: Do we teach the wrong things ill flight schools? Have we under sold the use of flight instructors for periodic check-ups and re- fxsshers? Have we trumpeted too loud the increasing safety records. and soft pedaled too tow the danger zones?
 Haven't we glamoriZed our silly mistakes and narrow es- capes into spirit of fine adVen- ture and pardonable daring? When we beat the weather and i bragged about it, when we dared the foolish and revelled in 1t, when we exaggerated our tri- umphs into easy accomplish ment and disparaged the timid- didn't we mislead the novice to- ward disaster?
 How can we save the pilot? 1 If we save him, we save his pas senger. What can we do to de velop his maturity of judgment 1 sooner? In spite of telling him what not to do, how can we teach him to recognize a situa- tion he should avoid before he is already in it?
 The relatively high accident rate among pilots in the 50-10O hour bracket reflects a trial and error period How can we re duce the necessary trials and eliminate the errors?
 These questions apply to all of us, government agencies, in structors, pilot associations, clubs, schools, and all our as sociates, each of which influ- ences directly or indirectly, the novice pilot. They are self searching, but they may result

KITTY HAWK CLUB ERECTS
PUBLIC BULLETIN BOARD

Completion of a community bal

announced this week by Claude.
Midget, chairman of the commit
tee in charge of the project for
the Kitty Hawk Civic Club.
Midget said that the board was
erected by the club because so
Enany people had complained that
posters and bulletins announcing
dances, bingo games, special NOV
ing pictures and similar events
were cluttering up telephone poles
and trees in the, community.
'At first it was suggested that
we simply ask the various recre-
alton establishments to refrain
from putting their announcements
in the community" Midget said.
However, we didn't feel that this
would be fair to the business es-
Establishments involved, and so it
was decided to erect central bull
letin board f@ their convenience. |"
The bulletin board is located in
a prominent position adjoining the
main road, in a vacant lot just to
the east Of the Post Office. It is
available TO any business, individ-
ual or group desiring to put up
posters or bulletins, and they are
urged to use the bulletin board In
stead Of scattering their posters

lawyer and son of former Cover
nor Ehringhaus, represented Dare
county before the State Highway
Commission in session in Raleigh

of Commissioners. He explained
the vital need for the completion

A petition signed by 1000
citizens was to have been pres
ented to the highway commits
sioners by Capt. Levene Midget
of ROdanthe. But Capt. Midget
was prevented from making the
trip to Raleigh by the necessity
of taking charge of the rescue
activities when a boat burned
and sank in the sound off Stun
Ply Point on Wednesday.
The Highway Commissioners will
meet in Manteo on August 81 and
September 1, and it is planned to
make representation to them at

Mays Header. Mr.. Hamilton, a bus
mess man, is a painter in oils, and
Mrs. Hamilton is just an amateur

sketches of the beach, and nearby
scenes which are displayed in the
lobby of the Mays Header have
captured the atmosphere of the
seashore, and would-be buyers are
besieging her.
Mrs. Hamilton, who says she is
just housewife, was formerly a
practicing attorney, native of
New York. Her pictures are sign
ed Eleanor Meyer Hamilton. With
them is their 11-year-old son,
Charles Hamilton, III.

Mrs. John Jambura and Mrs.
Preston Twiford Got Tired of
Loss of Their Chickens

Mrs. John Jambura and Mrs.
Preston Twiford of Manns Harbor
have been suffering nightly be-
cause of a wildcats depredations
in their chicken yards. The men
of the community didn't seem able
to do anything about it. Roy Mid
gett himself says he lost a dozen
ducks because of this slick old
wildcat which used to come out of
the swamps.
Mrs. Twiford and Mrs. Jambura
surprised the old cat last week.
They heard chicken squawking
and they investigated the cat and
he ran away. He left the chicken
he had killed, so they tied the
chicken to a fence post, and waited
with a gun. The old cat came
back.
Both these good ladies' took a
shot at him, and they killed him.
Neighbors say the cat weighed so
pounds.
