Col. Stapp rides a sled mounted on

was subjected to a deceleratoin of IS
times gravity and wind pressure of
2 tons.
He survived with no serious after
effects except two black eyes. He spent
a few days in the hospital. then re-
turned to his laboratory to analyze data.
Findings from this sled test can be
useful for scientific dealing with the
strains placed ON men who will have
to fly at speeds almost beyond compre-
hension to pierce outer space.
Holloman soon expects one of the
most dramatic and daring research

officers are planning a series Of six
balloon flights. The last win be 10000
feet or higher breaking the old record
of ~ 3Q5 feet At the top nf each flight

officers.

North For vacationists

More Phoenclans should read
Zane Grey'S novels, in the opinion
of Phoenix Action, the publication
of the Phoenix Chamber of Com
merce.
Zane Grey, you'll recall, was the
writer who lived and wrote of life
in Arizona'S famed Mogollon Rim,
Tonto Rim and White Mountain
country.
These three areas - plus the
Grand Canyon country-are among
the finest summer vacationing
areas in the country and deserve
real consideration by Phoenicians
as likely sports for some summer
vacationing.
Easier To Reach
Each year access to these areas
by automobile is becoming easier:
The Black Canyon Highway is now
paved to Camp Verde, leaving just
few miles of gravel to traverse
before edging into the breathtak-
ing beauty of Oak Creek Canyon;
the Bee Line Highway through
Payson and Pine and on to Win
slow is being steadily improved
and realigned, and routes inter-
tWining the White Mountain coun-
try via Globe are being paved and
heightened.
Big news for all travellers are
Improvements and proposed i'm
provements at Grand Canyon. A
new entryway to the South Rim
has virtually eliminated the bot
tleneck at the information office
and general store in Grand Canyon
Village. Sixty camp sites have been
constructed on the North Rim, and
that areas roadway has been i'm
proved and enlarged.
The Fred Harvey company, main
concessionaire at the Canyon =
armed now with "a long-term lease
from the government = has en-

new hotel on the rim. Rates fit
every pocketbook.
BY Rail or Air
Besides automobile, of course,
the Canyon can be reached either
by Santa Fe railway or Frontier
Airlines from Phoenix. Advance
reservations for El Tovar Hotel,
Bright Angel Lodge or the motor

Increase In STATE
Shared Revenues

Certification of the 1850 populat-
ion count by the JUS. Bureau of
Census in the large east side area
annexed to the City on April 19 has
raised the official population of the
City to 14O,318. The certification
indicated a 1850 population in the
area of 10,735. The City requested
the special census check to gain a
larger share of State taxes which
are distributed among the munich
palitieS on population basis. Such
taxes are the state sales tax, auto
mobile lieu tax and the gasoline
tax. An actual census check made
in April by members of the Phoe-
nix Fire Department through a
house-to-houSe canvass of the 4.92
square mile area indicated a cur
rent population of 14,736 persons
living in the area. The firmen used
regular census bureau procedure
in making the census check. This
boosted the estimated population
of Phoenix to 155,338. The new fig
ure represents an increase Of 51.4@o
or 52,757 over the 1O2,581 populat-
ion count reported in 1850. Since

.Weaver's Warning

With the. coming of warm
weather, many Ohio communities
are already reporting sharp in
creases in child pedestrian injur-
les, Chief of Police Weaver said
today, most of accidents happen
ing in areas where traffic is not
heavy.
Chief Weaver has a warning for
the parents. He urges them to
make every effort to keep children
from running in the street. He
urges to train them to stop at the
curb always, to count four while
standing, before stepping into the
street.
There is a word of caution for
the motorist, too. Stay within the
20 m.p.h. speed limit on all resi-
Dental streets. Remember, you
can stop one-third quicker at 25
than at 95 and that difference may
mean the life of a child.
Be alert when passing parked
cars or when you notice children
playing near to the curb. One
might dash out Unexpectedly.
A safe driver in a safe car
makes safe motoring.
