One of the reasons for the flying far
mers being so successful in improving
conditions for the small plane pilot is
that the organization is strictly nom
political and non-sectarian, Sorenson
says. It's members are from all farm
groups and from various political par
ties. But where flying is concerned the
membership has only one measuring
stick. 1t is the question, rs it good for
flying?"
The fraternal spirit within the fly
ing farmer organization has been a
powerful influence. Eastern Montana
pilots who had never flown into noun
tains did so when they became MEM
bers. Because they flew they made new
friendships with farmers and ranchers
in different kinds of agriculture.
One pilot remarked that he had never
been on a large sheep ranch before he
became flying farmer. Another had
his eyes opened about cattle ranching
in the mountains. Mountain ranchers
who flew to eastern Montana ranches
couldn't believe stockmen could get
through winters with so little extra
feed.
Found New Markets
They found new markets or places to
buy purebred livestock.

am writing for a few days
about swimming and diving in
the hope that I may prod some
Of you who never have learned
to swim into doing so. Also
some of you may wish to i'm
prove your strokes or learn a
new one.
/ remember keenly the first
time I ever dived df you could
call it that from the end of
o rowboat into a Kentucky
river. 1 doubt that there is
any more frightening feeling
than the one you have just be-
fore the first time you go into
the water head first. Nor is
there any satisfaction more
gratifying. Once you make the
first plunge, from then on it's
fun.
How to Begin
If you are tired of crawling
in the pool or river or lake
why not learn to dive? This
is the way you begin:
First, sit on the edge Of the
pool. Let your feet dangle in
the water as you bend from
the waist with your arms
stretched out in front Of you
and your head ducked. Keep
your head in the same position
as you fall into the water.
Now kneel on the edge of the
pool on one or both knees.
Place the arms and the head
