Brodie Twin Survivor
Goes 10 His FamiIy's
Home for Christmas
BY the Assoeioted Press

CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-This will
be the first Christmas at home
for q months -old Rodney
Brodie. the survivor Of Siamese
twins whose heads>were Joined at
birth.
Doctors at the University of
Illinois Research Hospital gave
their approval yesterday to the
request of Rodney's parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Royt Brodie, to take
him home for the holidays.
The jubilant parents imme-
diately packed Rodney off on the
200-mile automobile trip to their
farm home near Ferris. Ill,
where the little boy can become
better acquainted with his four
brothers and sisters.
1--WE have no special plans,"
Mrs. Brodie said. "Our Christ
mas will be similar to that in
most homes"
I'VE nave looked forward TO
this for a long time" said the
father. 1.-THE entire family will
be present for the first time"
Rodney has lived in hospitals
since birth, first at st. Anthony's
in Rock Island where he and his
twin, Roger, were born, then at
the Research Hospital in Chi
cago. Roger died "a days after
an operation separated them De-
cember II, 1852.
A pediatrician who has been
caring for him said, "Rodney's
place is in the home. rather than
in a hospital environment. We
look forward to the time when
he can join his family perma-
nently."
That time is indefinite. Rod
ney and Roger were Joined at
the top of the head. Surgeons
still must provide a hard. pro-
tective skull cover before Rod
ney can leave their care.

ity or other sources whatever.
After run of about forty feet
along a monorail track which
held the machine eight inches
from the ground, it rose from
the track and under the direc,-
ton of the operator climbed
upward on an inclined course
until a height of eight or ten
feet from the ground was
reached after which the course
was kept as nearly horizontal
as the wind gusts and the
limited skill of the operator
would permit.
Into the teeth of a Decem-
Der gale the Flyer made its
way forward with a speed of
ten miles an hour over the
ground and of thirty to thirty
five miles an hour through the
air. 1t had previously been de-
cided that for reasons of per-
sonal safety these first trials
should be made as close to the
ground as possible. The height
chosen was scarcely sufficient

erosion and would not nave sup
ported structure like the monu-
ment. Before the monument
could be built, the hill had to be
anchored by seeding and sod
ding it with tough, wiry grasses
adapted to sandy soil, This pro-
ject was so successful that the
entire Memorial area is now COW
cred with grass, and shrubs have
been planted at several points.
A paved road with six parking
areas circles the hill and ex-
tends to the nearby flight mark
er. From the road, a spiral as
phalt walkway leads to the
memorial shaft at the top of the
hill.
Each December II, memorial
ceremonies honoring the achieve
ment of the Wright Brothers are
held at the monument under the
sponsorship of the Kill Devil
Hills Memorial Society, which
was organized at Elizabeth City,
North Carolina, in 1927. Notables
from the civil and military avia-
ton world take part, and the
event is climaxed with gigan-
tic display of modern air power
in the skies above the monu-
ment.
Wilbur and OrviIle Wright be-
gan their first flight experiments
with model aircraft which they
constructed at their bicycle shop
in Dayton, Ohio, and tested in a
homemade wind tunnel. They
are said to have tested some 200
types of wing surfaces before
they were finally convinced that
a properly designed machine,
propelled by an engine, could be
made to take off and remain in
the air by the pressure of air
currents against wings or planes.
By 1900 their experiments had
progressed to the point where
they were seeking a location
with strong, steady air currents.
The United States Weather Bur
eau directed them to Kitty
Hawk, where for most of the
year the winds blow strongly and
steadily from the north.
Kitty Hawk, small fishing
village on Kitty Hawk Bay, be-
tween the ocean and Albemarle
Sound, was accessible at that
time only by boat from the main
land of North Carolina. CA bridge
and modern highway now con-
meet the area with the main
land) The Wright brothers ar
rived there via schooner from
Elizabeth City on September IL.
1900. They boarded for a short
time at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
W. j. Tate before establishing
their own camp near the village
to begin experiments with an
aircraft flown as a kite.
The following year they moved
their camp to flat sandy field
near Kill Devil Hill. For two
years they tested and studied
gliders launched from the slopes
of the hill. In 1903 they designed
larger and much improved BIZ
plane to which they added a
small gasoline engine with two
pusher-type propellers. At first
they attempted to launch this
craft from a 60-foot monorail
laid $50 feet up the 8 degree
slope. On December IA the mach
inc was slightly damaged when
it climbed a few feet from the
rail, stalled and settled to the

TIMELY DIAGNOSIS

When a young man came from
Iowa to visit his parents, his
mother had job waiting for
him, = painting the kitchen.
Seems that last fall she and her
husband gave the kitchen one
coat and she suggested that they
wait till this year to give it a
second coat of paint. Meantime,
the husband had occasion to con-
suit a doctor and came home
with the verdict that under no
condition must he dabbIe in
paint p Now the wife is trying to
Ind out what her husband paid
the doctor for such a prescrip-
ton.

Kill Devil Hills, N. c. - Kill
Devil Hill National Memorial,
site of the first successful flight
of a powered heavier-than-air
flying machine, has a special
interest for travellers during 1858,
the Golden Anniversary Year of
Aviation.
The Memorial is located in
Dare County, on the Outer Banks
of North Carolina, and within
sight of the location of the first
English colony attempted in
America - the mysterious Lost
Colony" of Roanoke Island.
1t was on December II, 1908,
that Wilbur and Orville Wright
made the flight that was to i'm
mortalize them as inventors of
the airplane and bring interna-
tional fame to the community of
Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, and
the 9O-foot high sand dune
known as Kill Devil Hill.
Atop Kill Devil Hill is the
Wright Memorial Monument, er,
ected by the Federal Govern
ment after Congress authorized
the establishment of Kill Devil
Hill National Memorial in 1927.
A granite boulder near the base
of the hill marks the spot where
the Wright's flyer" actually
left the ground on its first trip
into the air. This marker, erect
ed by the National Aeronautic
Association, was unveiled in 1928
on the 25th anniversary of flight.
The surrounding park contains
315 acres, and a paved road con-
meets it with Highway 1873 which
skirts the Atlantic surf less than
a mile away.
The monument was completed
in 1882. 1t is a 60-foot pylon of
gray granite from the quarries
at Mount Airy, North Carolina,
and rises from a star-shaped base
resting on a sunken foundation
35 feet deep. On the walls are
wings in bas-relief, and the in
scription:
In commemoration of the con-
guest of the air by the brothers
Wilbur and Orville Wright con-
ceived by Genious, achieved by
Dauntless Resolution and I'm
conquerable Faith"
Polished steel doors open into
the rotunda of the monument,
where metal map of the world
depicts events associated with
mans effort to fly, and the first
% years of aviation history. A
central niche in the pink granite
walls contains a model of the or
iginal Wright plane, the "Kitty
Hawk" and on either side there
are, inches containing busts of the
Wright brothers.
Curving stairs lead to an OBJ
servation platform at the top of
the pylon, where a powerful
beacon throws a beam visible for
many miles.
From the top of the monument
is an extensive view of the COM
munities of Kitty Hawk and Kill
Devil Hills, the resort area along
the Atlantic beach, and other
large sand dunes and the resort
of Mays Head nearby.
The Memorial is open from
$3.50 am. until 5 pm. daily, with
National Park Service guides on
duty to greet visitors and an
swer questions. Visitors from
many countries have signed the
guest book in the rotunda.
