Fitzgerald, Georgia, Thursday, May 26, 1927 STORY OF FLIGHT 'Sir Alan Cobham, Great British Air-i ' man, Adds Congratulations, Hears l Thrilling Story l ' PARIS, May 22.—Captain (‘,harles“ A. Lindbergh today told the story of his flight from New York to Parisl to a group of newspapermen in thei embassy, and when he had finished every one was firm in the belief that‘ he was a real flying genius. | “Being newspapermen”, he bugan,‘ I suppose you gentlemen are inter ested first in knowing what was thei most dangerous thing about our flight. The most dangerous thing of all was that landing at Le Bourget, bringing that ship down on a field with all that erowd runnign. I had more fear at that moment for the welfare of our plane, than at any other time in the whole flight. “The first part of the flight was better and easier than any of us ex pected. The field in New York was muddy, which made the take-off a lit tle long, but we got away all right. “All the way up the American coast to Newfoundland, we had uncommon ly good weather—llots better than we? expected. But for the next 1,000 miles it couldn’t have been much worse for us.” | “We Us & Co. | At this juncture, the ambasador re-! marked: ‘“When Lindbergh says| ‘we’ he means the ship and himself”. All the way thfough. except when | asked for a personal opinion of some-' thing the flyer used the first person! plural in describing the voyage. i “After we got away from land"§ continued the aviator, “we ran into fog, then rain, then hail. Some times we flew not more than 10 feet above the water, and the highest was 10,000 feet. We went up that high to| try to get above the storm, but the average altitude for th ewhole second 1000 miles of the flight was less than 100 feet. : “If we had known that the weather would be as bad over that part of the ocean as it turned out to be, we would not have started, but once we got into it, there was not any use in turning back; there wasn’t anything to do but keep going. Happy At Dawn “We were mighty happy to see the dawn which we ran into about 2 o’clock New York time. In the after noon, we picked up‘lreland. From the maps we had and from what I read at home I knew that England was a sort of hilly rolling country, France pretty flat and Ireland inclin ed to be mountainous. So when I saw pretty high ranges off in front, I knew it was Ireland. I—.” - ‘“Pardon me’’, a voice from the out er ring of listeners called, “but did you do the whole flight by dead reck oning? I am a flyer myself; my name is Cobham, and I flew from London a few minutes ago to see you and tell you you have done the great est thing I have ever heard of”. | All heads turned. The voice was]l that of Sir Alan Cobham, the great-i est of British long distance aviators, the pioneer of routes of South Africa,? India and Austrialia. | Cobham Greeted ) “It is Sir Alan Cobham”, several said, and made a path for him to ap proach Lindbergh, who grasped the Briton’s hand and said. “I am migh ty glad to meet you sir. I have heard a great deal about you.. We— I— did it all by dead reckoning. We didn’t carry any astromomical instru ments, and I don’t know how to use a sextant”. ~ “What points did you fly over in lcrossing' from Ireland to France?”, 1 some one asked. ‘ “Hand me the map; I’ll tell youn”, Lindbergh replied. In answer to another question he said he did not feel either hungry or sleepy during the flight, and as to his meadls, ‘I ate about a sandwich ‘an da half and drank a half glass of water. I kept the windows open all the way. But, you see, our ship, the way she is built, you are protected from straight winds, and so we didn’t have that discomfort.” “How did you fly from Cherbourg ‘on to Paris”. “Oh just came on in a straight line, picked up the beams of the searchlights all right and saw the Seine. Then I got a look at Eiffel tower all light up. I knew that was Paris, and I had been told at home that Le Bourget was 14 kilometers northeast of Paris. “When I got there I wasn’t quite sure that it was Le Bourget. That is why I flew around there several minutes. I thought Le Bourget must be a little farther on, but when they turned on the field lights I figured that must be the place. Then the crowd began racing out there into the lights, and there wasn’t any more doubt about it.” SPECIAL NOTICE There will be a meeting at the Chamber of Commerce on Monday night, and all members are requested to be present as some important af fairs will be taken up. ‘GRADUATION EXERCISES ~ HELD AT HIGH SCHOOL ~ The high school auditorium was taxed to hold the audience assembled for the graduation exercises on Mon day night.

LINDBERG'S PLANE IS STRONG BUT SMALL s e | Full Description of ' ‘“‘Spirit of St.! Louis” Given; Has a Maximum Speed of 123 Miles Per Hour New York, May 20—“ The Spirit of St. Louis”, Captain Charles A.‘ Lindberg’s plane built especially for his proposed New York to Paris non stop trip, is designed for scientific flying. The little monoplane with a wing spread of 46 feet and a fuselage of 28 feet long, has a special instrument board upon which the former air mail pilot depends for guidance. With extra gasoline tanks and the instrument board, the total cost is about $15,000. The plane is power ed with a Wright “whirlwind” J-2 225 horsepower, nine cylinder, radial air cooled motor, similar to that used by Commander Richard E. Byrd and by Clarence Chamberlain and Lyod Bertaud in the trans-Atlantic Bellan ca monoplane “Columbia.” ‘ With full load the plane has a cruising speed of approximately 105 miles per hour and a maximum speed of 123 miles per hour. It carried 425 gallons of gasoline and 28 gal lons of oil, estimated to be sufficient for a 4,500 mile jump. On his 2,500 mile trip from San Diego, Calif., to New York, Lind bergh used less than 250 gallons of gasoline and the average consumption is computed at about 10 gallons per hour. Its body is of metal and wings of wood. “The Spirit of St. Louis”, has a gross load of gasoline and oil weighing 2,745 pounds. Its cabin holds only one man sitting in a wick er chair, with the “stick’’ between his legs and with little opportunity for the pilot to move about. It carried no radio, but is equipped with a pneu matic raft for use in case of a forced landing at sea. The plane is equipp ed only with wheels and if landed on the water could not take off again. . The cockpit is enclosed in glass and Lindbergh flies “blind’’, using a periscope to see over the front of his plane, which he did rarely on his cross-continent hops. He is guided by the instruments on the elaborate board before him. In land flying he uses a magnetic compas. Other in struments on the board include a temperature guage, oil pressure guage tachometer, altimeter, turn and bank indicator, air speed and draft indica tor, speed timer and clock. Sandwiches and water compri§ ’ the only sustenance contemplated the youthful aviator on his long hop across the sea. He anticipated no difficulty in keeping awake. He ex pected to cross the Atlantic in about 36 hours, figuring the distance at a bout 3,600 miles, or 900 miles less than the estimated distance his gaso line and oil supply would carry him. He beat the record by 2 1-2 hours and is a world hero for his achieve ment. . NOTICE There will be an all-day sing at the Mt.

It has proved quite popular with a num ber of the children during the past two years and it is to be hoped even more young people will find pleasure as well as profit by taking the course this year. The librarian has carefully explain ed the plan to the teachers and to the parents at the P. T. A. meetings but she will be glad to explain to any par ent or child who does not understand. For the past two years, a great number of young people have joined but not quite fifty per cent have fin ished the course. There is always some thing gained by finishing every task that is begun and the librarian will be most appreciative if parents will co-operate in teaching their child ren the old proverb-“If a task is once begun, never leave it ’til it is done”’. The books for each grade have been carefully selected-with the idea of giving pleasure and at the same time give to the young people some things that will be helpful in adding to their store of information and help ful them in building character. The books will be placed on sepe rate shelves where there will be no trouble to find them. The course is open to every child in Ben Hill County. Lists by grades are given on page cight. It may be necessary to make ome changes in these lists—as it is almost impossible to find a list of books that will meet the needs of every child in certain grades—but the libarian will always be glad to help in selecting other books. If any children are going out of town for ten days or two weks, a special arrangement can be made so they can take one or two books with them or if they will be in cities where they will have the priviliege of another library a list of books will be given the children so no time will be lost. A promiment eaucavor said two years ago—that “A reading habit is two thirds o an education” and we | all know that the best time to form our life habits, is while we are young so encourage ybur‘children to not only join the Reading Club but en courage them to complete the course. At the close of the Summer, the 'Library Board will entertain the ones ‘who complete the course and a di ploma wil be given to each child who reads and reports on the twelve books. A prize for the best kept note book will be given in each grade. Only twelve books or one each® week during the three summer months, completes the course—three of these must be star books as indi cated on the list.
