For Seal Sale

Pointing out that the picture re-
produced upon the 1947 Christmas
seals is based upon a scene once
i'amiliar in Mason county, the
Simpson Logging Company this
week has urged everyone to .sup-
port the seat sale which provided
fmds for the combatting of tu-
berculosis.
The logging company pointed
out that funds raised by the" saIe
of the seals through the anti-tuber-
culosis association will provide a
portable X-ray unit for preventive
work in Mason county e'axly next
year.
A total of 769 X-ray examina-
tions were given to adults and
children in the county during the
last year. This is the most effec-
tive method yet discovered for
finding early cases of tubercu-
losis which may then be treated
and cured within a short time.

The National Guard recently
was given four buildings to use
as a drill hall and armory and for
the storage of equipment and sup-
plies. The State Patrol will take
over one building for a permanent
training school, transferring its
school from'the present rented
quarters in Fort Lewis.
The bachelor officers quarters
on the base axe now being remod-
ebed to accommodate approximate-
ly 40 men for training courses and
refresher courses to be given l-
rolmext and available to oilier IR.-
lice officers of the stat& 2e
move is tentatively set for De.
comber 15.
ALL THE agencies which have
been assigned quarters at the air-
port have been, charged no rent,
but have merely paid a small init-
ial "fee" to make the contracts
binding.
Dickinson and Heuston have felt
that such an arrangement, which
at first thought seems to be "los-
ing oney" for the county, actual-
ly is bringing additional revene
to themunicipality, as well as pro-
viding a public service.
The /;'ational Guard payroll
alone fo'one year will amount to
some $50,000. The state patrol
and the Shelt0n Air Service pay-
rolls, too, will bring considerable
cash into, the county annually,
they pointed out.
UNDER TtlE contracts signed
by groups operating in quarters at
the ,airport, fire protection and
maintenance are provided by the
groupsthemselves, eliminating the
necessity of the' county paying
these costs.
The airport, which consists of
two 5,000 foot runways four hang.
ar buildings and about 30 other
buildings, is still owned by the
U.S. Navy, with theCounty given
nominal, control under a revocable
permit providing for the re-entry
of the Navy in case of a national
emergency
The airport covers about 1300
acres, and is worth $2 or $3 mil-
lion, according to 'estimates of its
original cost to the Navy.
THE SHILTON Air Service,
which has a license to opete: and
maintain the fI3,ing portion of the,
airport, has conducted success-
ful air school and flying school
since it first began operations I
there in 1946..
The school which is recognized'
and accredited as a "GI" school by
the Veterans Administration, has
had. a total of 50 graduates in the
private license course and. nine
• gSaduates i the c cram e r c i al
course. Three have entered the
instructor's classes, with one hav-
ing graduated already, Lea Tif-
fany, head of the Air Service, re-
ported.
ThE INSTRUCTION flight•
make up about .70 per cent of the
total flying time at the field with
' commercial flights completing the
balance.
Pointing up the large amount
of flying done at the field, it was
revealed by Tiffany that more
than 1,000 outside airplanes bare
landed at the field during the first
10 months of this year.
Eleven planes operate out of the
field regularly, with 12 full-time
employees at the air service dur-
ing the winter months and another
added during the summer, Tiffany
said.
The average flying time logged
by GI students is 22 hours a day
during the summer months, plus:
no.GI and commercial flights
which swell the total. The school.
is inspected regularly and' exam-
inations are conducted bY the
Civil Aeronautics administration.
