l'Flying Farmers' Instructor Is Girl
Who Learned Aviation Skill As WASP
Opal Hicks specializes in "fly-
J n " far/Tiers."
She learned her profession as a
WASp in World War II, and has
been practiclng it with skillful
success for more than a year in
the Big Bend wheat country of
eastern Washington, where she
has the farmers up in the air.
As the country doctor once
drove from farm to farm in the
horse and buggy days passing out
his pills, so it is with "easy-to-
look-upon" Opal Hicks, who hops
from farm to farm in her light
commerical airplane passing out
flight instructions to the "flying
farmers."
Miss Hicks is more than a mere
flight instructor. She has an eye
for business. Wheat farms where
she operates are big, often includ-
ing from three to five sections
of land, which means long drives
for students to her flying field at
Ritizville, Washington. It is eas-
ier for her to fly to her students,
and make colorful wheat field
landings, than for them to motor
miles for a few short periods of
flight training.
"Oh, it is wonderful", she said.
"The country around here is just
one big landing field. My students
see me coming in for a landing,
and are ready for their instruc-
tion." "You know, one of my stu-
dents is Charles Breitkreutz, a
60 year old man in the garage
business in Ritsville. He is doing
splendidly with his flying, and will
soon be ready to solo."
But possibly there is a little
more than the mere thrill of lying
for some of the young farmers,
because their instructor has au-
burn hair, blue eyes and, as one
person described her, "a peaches
and cream complexion." However,
Miss Hicks is all business. In ad-
dition to her instructing she is
dealer for two light makes of air-
craft, and anxiously awaits the
day "when factories can make de-
liveries."
She is enthusiastic about the
prospective organization of the
Washington Flying Farmers' as-
sociation, Idaho Flying Farmers'
associafion and Oregon Flying
Farmers' association in Spokane,
Washington, on September 22, 23
and 24 when 500 "flying farmers"
from the three states are schedul-
ed to assemble in a large military
hangar at Felts Field where the
first northwest aircraft show will
also be held. More than a dozen
different makes of light aircraft
have been assured for tte show.
"I certainly expect to be there
as do several of my students," she
assured members of the conven-
tion committee. "As many of us
as possible wil fly in. We want to
see the new aircraft and want to
assist in the organization of tim
farmers for
than 3,000 hours of flying time,
including twin-engine military air-
planes. She flew practically all
types of single engine ships while
in the WASPS, where she learn-
ed some of the hardships ofen en-
countered by students in getting
in their flight instruction.
New that she is out of the ser-
vice she understands even more
clearly the problems of flying time
for civilians. She knows that her
"flying farmers" are busy people,
and that the more service she can
give them the better. That is why
she has weekly trairiing schedules
at fields other than Ritzville. On
specified days she "winds up" her
trainer for landings at Odessa
and Washtucna, Wash. where stu-
dents are always waiting.
Her latest business deal was the
rededication and opening of an
old intermeddle air mail landing
field at Lind, Washington. And
Miss Hicks timed that event per-
fectly. She knew that there were
farmers in that vicinity who want-
ed to learn to fly, "but not until
after harvest." She watched the
grain ripen into waves of gold as
she flew overhead. Then came the
harvst and harvest always means
"harvst festivals."
"Now's my time" thought the
active little flight instructor. She
announced that the "harvest fest-
ival this year" would be a week-
end celebration and rededication
of the Lind airport. Saturday
night there was a big dance, and
farmers came from miles around.
Sunday morning at 9 o'clock air-
craft flew in from all directions
for a 9 o'clock breakfast.
Opal Hicks, daugnter of Mr.
and Mrs. Earl Hicks of Seattle,
formerly of Everett, Washington,
had set her "flight cap" for an-
other crop of "flying farmers."

THINGS AS THEY SEEM
(Continued from page 13
and childish carefree happiness.
The start of school means the as-
sumption of responsibility and the
first realization that romping and
playing is at. an end. Each suc-
ceeding year brings more difficult
courses and work in school, as the
studies become harder and more
serious, through the grades and
[ into higher work. Along with
school development comes a more
)serious understanding of the re-
I sponsibilities of life and the obli-
,gations to society, each separat-
ing the student more and more
from carefree persons to more
serious undertakings. The forma-
tion of character and mentality is
a progressive evolution, planned
through experience and the devel-
opment of modern educational
standards. It forms intelligent
minds, teaches proper attitudes
and manners in relation to others
and importantly preaches a love of
country by reference to the glor-
IOUS pages of our national devel-
opment. Education is a wonderful
thing and has brought this nation
along, so that wc lead all others
Painters of the Woods . , . [
Up in the Pilchuck country a
new tree*farming movment has
reached the stage of something to
write about. Four artists have
bought four tracts of second-
growth forest land there and are
making plans that should in .due
course earn them official tree
farm certificates.
This is not only something new
in forestry but in art. The arts
of painting and writing have had
giant growth in the Pacific North-
west during the past 25 years.
After World War I and in times
before, the budding artist of this
region would just about always
strike out for the East, or for
California, often for Europe.
But now the greatest writers'
conference of American history is
being held at the University of
Washington. And, in the now in-
ternationally famed Seattle and
Portland art museums, fall ,exhi-
bitions ,of the the work of the
Northwest painters who live here
will show some of the country's
finest pictorial art.
William Worden, Betty McDon-
ald, Sewart Holbrook, Ernest Hay-
cox these and a crowd of other
Northwest writes of national fame
keep their homes in the region
now. Among painters who have
grown up with the country and
won wide fame Kenneth Callahan,
curator of the Seattle Art Muse-
um, and recently hailed in New
York as one of America's five best
living painters is the unrivaled
cheif. Callahan is also the leader
of the Pilchuck tree farm move-
,ment. He is a man of the woods,
a poet of the forests.
Art in the Soil...
One recent afternoon in the
thick of a heat wave I loafed with
Callahan and others in the front
shade of his cabin on an old home-
stead. The main elements of the
life of our region were represented
in the scene before us.
Close about were plain, rough
cabins which tlm Callahans and
fellow artists had used for sum-
mer living since long before the
war. Down the slope was a large
vegetable garden, green in growth
of everything from strawberries
to beans, Then a meadow sweet
with hay on a fiat four acres. A
dairy farmer who had bought the
hay was out with two helpers and
a truck, loading up the shocks.
For a mile in three directions from
the meadow hemlocks 30 years old
grew like the proverbial hairs on
a dog's back hedging pastures and
fields. Southward was the river
bottom. Logging trucks could be
glimpsed now and then on the
out of the woods and he was liv-
ing and painting in a garret---
and the garret of an old barn,
at that! He bore poverty as easily
as he wore overalls. He stuck to
his home country. He studied and
worked, studied and worked:
Now the due season of recogn-
ition and reward has arrived. But
Kenneth Callahan yet sticks to
the old home woods and the plain
ways of the true artists---the one
who is artist in heart as well as
in, mind and talent.
So tip in the Pilchuck country
Callahan is bringing the tree-farm
movement and the art world to-
gether. I predict that within five
years the like will be common in
every forest region. An artist and
a tree are always two of a kind.
