lSt Lieut.. Stewart r. Letterman
Lieutenant Letterman, a member
OF the 17S7th/ Ferrying Squadron,
has just recently received a Letter
of Appreciation from Lieutenant
General Joseph Smith, for his part
IN plotting burning C-119 safely
to its destination.
AS First Pilot of C-119 aircraft
SN 51-2609 on the night of "a De-
cember 1852 at Long Beach NUM-
cipal Airport, California, Lieutenant
Letterman and his crew skillfully
returned the aircraft safely to the
field after the left engine had ex-
plOded and caught fire shortly af-
ter take-Off. Flames extended so
feet or more from the aircraft.
Emergency procedures were in
stantly and effectively applied. The
propeller was successfully feather
er, engine shut down, and fire ex-
tinguished. The airspeed at that
time was approximately 80 knots.
Ahead in the darkness, near the
ends of the take-Off runway lay ex-
tremely hazardous obstacles con-
sisting of oil derricks atop Signal
Hill. Unable to climb more than an
indicated $50 feet, Lieutenant Let
terman had to raise one of the
wing tips in order to avoid striking
an oil derrick. By exercising al

high degree Of skill, Lieutenant
Letterman and his crew were able
to maintain sufficient airspeed to
clear these obstacles.
In appreciation for the outstand-
ing ability displayed by Lieutenant
Letterman, General Smith wrote
the following letter:
Il. I have been informed of
your excellent performance of
duty as First Pilot of a C-119
aircraft, Number 51-26O9, on
the night of q December 1852
at Long Beach Municipal Air
- port, California.
%. Accept my personal con-
gratulations and appreciation
for successfully overcoming a
most adverse in-flight condition
and protecting the lives of your
crew members and the resi-
dents Of the densely populated
area over which you flew. Your
calm and expert handling of the
aircraft indicate a high degree
of skill and judgment"

GObbledygOOk Is
Seen AS Hurting
Industry's Aims

More plain talk and less "gob-
bledygoOk" would create better un-
derstanding between agriculture
and industry, David I. Mackie
chairman Of the Eastern RAILROAD
Presidents Conference, asserted
this week.
About 400 leaders of the farming
and business worlds, attending the
third annual meeting of the Nation
al Institute Of Animal Agriculture
at Purdue University, heard the
railroad official urge representa-
tives Of business, industry and ag-
riculture to state clearly what
they believe in and what their re-
spective industries are trying to
bring out"
The Eastern railroads, he said,
are seeking to solve the problem
through better information pro-
cedures and will be available for
discussion of mutual problems with
leaders Of all segments of agricul-
ture in our territory"
AS an indication that the Eastern
Railroad Presidents Conference is
we'll on the road to better unoer-
standing of farming problems,
Mackie cited his organizations re-
cent "sizable" grant to Farm Roads
Foundation. The organization cur
rently is distributing a motion pic
ture showing the great need for a
1uru-ovs a1,nro - hfuT,vrro~r ev,v,vo,,,,s~,
tiOns to be devoted to better farm
roads.
There are about 117,OO0 miles
Of rural roads in Ia states of the
Eastern railroad territory. Yet the
present vigorously publicized cam
paign for highway improvement
seems to contain no provision FOR
the Improvement Of these roads,
Mackie pointed out
"The farmer is among the raill
roads best customers" he said
'We want to help him get his pro-
ducts to the nearest railroad. We
believe this movie will so help him
and we are proud to have had a
part in making it's production possi-
bic.
we are especially proud to have
had a part in it because it is a
tangible projection Of the Eastern
railroads credo / mentioned earl
ier. 1t is, if you please, tangible
evidence that information is the
way TO understanding. We hope
every farmer will see it."
The need for understanding be-
tween railroads and agriculture is
particularly important, Mackie
said, because farm products have
been and still are one of the most
dependable sources of railroad

Mrs. Thomas Davis, wife of a

Highlight of Children's Day at
the Montgomery County Fair this
year will be a real, Wild West
rodeo staged in the big corral on
the Fairgrounds. The rodeo will
feature the skilled riding and
roping of cowboy Harold Brite on
Selmage, the champion Arabian
-tallion owned by Al-Marah Farms
and undoubtedly the most versatile
Arab in the showing today.
Brite also will put Selmage
through his PAGES as a parade
horse, fully decked out in his silver
mounted, fancy dress harness.
Selmage has many times demon
strated his talents as a parade
horse, most recently when he led
California's Contre Costa County
Sheriff's Posse in the Eisenhower
Inaugural Parade.
Featured events at the Chill
dren's Day Rodeo, August 26, at
the Montgomery County Fair, will
be a calf roping contest, a bull
logging contest and an unusual
event known as a cutting contest.
In this contest a herd of cattle is
driven into the ring and each cow
boy, with a specially trained horse,
takes his turn at trying to cut one
of the animals away from the rest
of the herd and keep it from re-
turning to the herd.
When the cattle are wild or I'M
used to handling, this is a very
difficult thing to do and it requires
