Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company i • SHELTON-MASON 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." ii Fairbanks-Morse PUMPS For Every Purpose SHELTON ELECTRIC CO.

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. WINTER MASS SCIIEDULE Rev.
