Driver's Licence Is Lost By Coincidence ; To Return License To Richmond Man \ ’ MADISON, Ind.

He surrendered his driving license to local authorities who returned it to Kentucky. /.Last week, the Indiana Nolan — no relation to the other—was approached at his Richmond home by a representative of the Indiana bureau of motor vehicles who demanded his' driving license. - Nolan, confused, gave up the license'but protested he hadn’t been convicted of drunk driving in Madison or anyplace else, as the man insisted. « •' 1 . Then the Indiana Nolan drove to Mhdison to get the matter straightened out. There, he ran into the series of coincidences, and Bruther gave him a fetter the chief said should clear up the mistake with the vehicles burbau. “There was another coincidence,” Bruther said. “Both mien are 41 years old.” EISENHOWER, (Continned From Pmce One) before a convention of the National Association of Letter Carriers, AFL, the union of government post office employes.

Reaction To Proposed Airfield Cited Here

By JACK SCHREIBMAN ! It has been over a week since f the last city council meeting when state and federal author!ties as as a private group of ; taxpayers appeared before the « tioum il to ask k to look into the ' qhances of a municipal air, field ii> the city. ’ | Since then, much information ■ lias been put before the citizens through a thorough “look” into | Airports, both privatA and civil, J t|y your reporter. The field — if I qne were to be chosen—that is an ; Obvious choice is the one called the “Highway Airport.” -It’s just oh U. S. highway 27 at the sbuth ; dlty limits. In order to- find out. ; jiow this field shapes up with Others of comparable size, a tour ivas made last Sunday; Amany Questions were asked. It 4ut that the field- owned in'part in|d operated by Josephine lyetieh —is about the best kept !of ; 'Jhe whole lot in the area.. *And ib was\done by one woman. The <)thers, observed from aloft as vVell as on the ground, were run (jown, although as was stated before, they weren’t starving. : When all the facts were put before the public and the council i then, and a little time allowblf for it to sink in. questions were 'again asked. Thpre were very few people indeed who escaped this reporter’s./ “what do you think of a municipal airport idea?" Many honest answers were received although some, frankly, were unenlightened. Here I will give some of the answers from the people and attempt 'to get tcu the rpot of what bothers most people about’ airports in this town. ’ Be; fore the start, however, there is aj term that needs clarification; that is as opposed to “flying fields.” What’s the difference? Plenty. ! When we say “airport” the thdught of an elaborate layout complete with administration buildings, control towers and rhink-lined runways; comes to niind. Nothing could be further ffom the intentions of the people vtho are working so hard to see flying facilities come into being pnder city control. What is proposed, rather, is a\ “flying field.” A flying field has only one thing in common with an airport; they both accomodate planes. But a f|ying\ field does not provide much more than the space becessary to bring in planes safely. And that’s what is proposed. Just a modest, well kept single-, runway' field. ’ One answer I got when I posed the question “what do you think about the airport idea”’was: “It’s fine. I’m in favor of it.” It was

i|o be wished that the names of .these people who so graciously |/ave their thoughts on the matter Could be printed. But they hannot so they will be given with,bul qualification. are true, i|»owever, and individuals who inquire will be told privately and 4/ladly. I (1 Since the • question was put in !i»ueh a simple way, the answers .came the same way, plain yes j|>r no. t'ine, people -who have usually have . reasons Mfor entertaining that particular Jone. I, asked.' in the case of the inos: “Why don’t you think an air. jifield is any good?” ;| “Well,” they said in Some cases, ,’|’it would cost too much money.” |once and for all let’s diear that :tip. Just how much money would jneed to be spent—and where. (■Anyone who cares to can verify jthe story, First of all, the pond (which extends out into the runaway is. being filled in at no cost <o Miss Ivetich. It's being done ifiy Krick & Tyndall and Miss Ive(tich reports, they have filled in jabout' seven (feet in the last five jmonthk. All at no cost. It is reasonable to believe that if the city takes over the field it will likewise cost them nothing for ihe same service. There's one' hazard knocked down and out of jthe list of costs. what jMiss Ivetich is paying for the portion of runway that extends past the pond—which she does pot own —would not be fair to publish. The tend is bwned by pen ’Eiting. i All parties are satisfied that |he power lines east of the field pver 27 will have to be lowered sooner or later. L, C. Pettibone, pity power and light superintend*ent, said this week the wires pould be dropped safely about j!'|four fee't at a tentative cost of about S4OO. ft As stated in the first article, Jhe frould need to be cut about twice a year and rolled bvery so often. One woman did 'jt for the last 12 years and has jt looking ih beautiful condition —can the city do less? iij We will skip over the many people favorable to the idea and grapple with the negative. J /“We don't need an airfield,’’ was one favorite. It's the case of jjhe chicken before the egg. There 4s a field it’s listed as private 15ARARD— pn hud private property Is tabooed jby fliers, tlmy would no sooner fly into a private field than they fvould make themselves at home fn a home into which they weren’t invited. If. however, the Jield is city operated, the picture would be sure to change swiftly.

K • ■ 4 I TB •' A POLICE EMPLOYE in Washington Inspects Brink’s truck from which $65,000 was missing when guards re- : turned from having lunch. Less than 24 hours\ later, Roy Eugene Farmer, 26, former Brink’s employe, admitted the robbery and all the money was recovered. Farmer was discharged by Brink’s three years* ago because of his friendship with a Washington gang. (International SrtndphotoJ

As a' public field it would be incorporated into flight plans of planes and used as a jumping point in the flights of small planes. In order for planes to come in. they must be made welcome. There is plenty of reason why the field isn’t busy. It almost virtually isn’t on the map, though it is noted. About not needing a field; if there is never a need for swift modern transportation, If the keynote is retrogression instead of progression, if ideas are to remain rusty and backward; then it is true — we don’t need an airport.- It is too big a subject to dismiss lightly. Sooner or later the city will be forced to get itself some flying facilities of its own. Jt has happened in many cities who thought the day would never come. The people interested in seeing a city field coirie into being want the city to get a jump on the inevitable. % A fine, well kept, safe field is being offered to the city for jahnost nothing. So far they are refusing to see it. The majority of the councilmen don’t think much of the idea. But eight out oC ten people I approached think it’s a good idea. If the will of the people is felt, the lawmakers cannot refuse to look furtjier. Th’is Sunday at 2 p. m. the airminded group of people who want an airfield report they have arranged a “parade of planes.” Miss Ivetich says she has recruited top fliers from nearby fields to come in on Sunday to do their stuff. Walt Snider of the Huntington municipal field says .he will come in and give a crop dusting demonstration from the air, State officials may be present to talk. A good-' opportunity

for one and all to take one good look and see what goes with this airport business at last. It will also be a good chance for the councilmen to see the possibilities of the field ami piake a considered decision. Finally,, a responsible source of the Chamber of Commerce today stated the’ chamber “realized the importance of the problem” and promised to study it further.
