SCRIPPS-HOWARD JUNIORAVIATOR A Nation-Wide Organization Air-Minded Youths of America

Junior Aviators May Try for Prizes in Kiwi Derby Non-Flying Morieis May Be Constructed From Cigar Boxes, Fruit Crates and Toothpicks. BY ED CLARKE National Junior Aviator Editor JUNIOR AVIATORS! Switch off your motors and stand by for an important announcement on the big nationwide Kiwi Derby. To begin with “Kiwi”— (pronounced Kee-Wee)— is an Australian bird that has wings, but can not fly. The name became popular during the World War when it was given to aircraft students and planes that weren’t qualified to fly.

And that’s exactly what the Kiwi Derby is going to be—a non-flying model derby. Hundreds of earnest wing commanders, flight commanders and squadron leaders from wing and squadrons throughout the nation have told of junior pilots who want to start building model plans, out who don’t have the money to buy supplies of balsa wood, Japanese tissue, wire and props, right now. There’s many a fine boy and girl who can’t afford those things, though perhaps they’ve a real gift for the building of flying machines. And that’s the big idea behind the Kiwi Derby—you can use any sort of wood at all to build your ships—soap boxes, cigar boxes, fruit crates, toothpicks, matches, blocks of white pine from the basement wood box, or in fact any wood—the low cost of materials are to be taken into consideraton by the judges when the final winners are chosen. The rules of the derby are simple: 1. Open to all Junior Aviators now attending: a public, parochial or Lutheran school 2. The ships will be miniature of any type of airplane but will not be expected to fly. 3 Each contestant must be the owner and builder of his entry. 4 Material of any kind, tissue paper, newspapers, toothpicks, matches, cigar boxes, fruit crates, in fact anything can be used in the construction of the plane 5. There will be three divisions: Those 11 years and under form the first: 12 to 14 years, form the second, and those over 15 compose the third. Aces are to be de-

ONE of the most fascinating angles about aviation is that we make our decisions without calling conferences and without asking opinions. And there’s a real thrill in the realization of how important these decisions may be. After staging a demonstration of airmanship with my little Hawk for the youngsters of New Orleans, I packed all of my baggage on board —and when I start to place all my little bags and grips and funny little bundles in various secret compartments of that high-powered little single-seater, it reminds me of the days when the Army was attempting to carry mail in fighting ships. By the use of a thin, worn 25-cent piece, I open up a little compartment here and another one there, and into each goes a little bag that just fits the available space. So finally with all m.v baggage on board and snugged down, I started away from New Orleans ror Atlanta, Ga. I told you something before about the difficult country to fly over in Louisiana, about long, dismal swamps, stagnant green water, alligators, snakes, mosquitoes, the thin ribbon of highway that was the only surface to accommodate my ship in case of a forced landing, and how I

termined by birth dates as of Jan. 20. ; 1936. There it is Junior Aviators—the Kiwi Derby. And it gives every boy i%and girl in the nation-wide Junior Aviator organization a chance to learn how to build scale model airplanes. Best of all, the materials should not cost a penny. If you can get a bit of glue from Dad’s work bench or mother’s pantry, and a few pieces of wood of some sort, you have all you need to enter. If you want to color your models, just use some of the left-over paints that you have in the basement or, your water colors should do the job very well. There’ll be attractive prizes, announced later, in each of the three divisions for the winners, including a number of fine model kits with which you can build your own flying models. But remember, you can’t use any kind of model kits in this derby. For your plans you may use diagrams published in magazines or the Junior Aviator pages, or you may use pictures of airplanes clipped from newspapers and try to duplicate them in wood and paper. 6o get to work—you have until Feb. 1, 1936, just six weeks including your Xmas holidays—to do the job.

plotted my course to remain within gliding distance of it. The ceiling had been low —about 700 feet. The air temperature was abnormally severe for that part of the country—about 37 degrees and the moisture content of the air produced a sensation of chill, damp cold. After a flight of about 40 minutes. i turned slightly to the left at Mobile, it was early in the morning and there was no real rush, so with an almost subconscious movement of the control that fitted the .change in decision. I throttled the motor and swung around sharply and glided in for a landing at the Mobile Airport. A cup of steaming hot coffee, a cigaret, and a chat—and I was off again for Atlanta. QUESTION —Do air lines employ male stewards that have the same type of job as hostesses? So far as I know, only three male stewards are employed on air lines in this country.
