INDIANA NEEDS AVIATORS COMMERCE REPORT SHOWS

State Has Plane for Every Licensed Pilot Almost one airplane for every government licensed pilot exists I in the state of Indiana at present it is revealed by the United States; Department of Commerce in a report issued on the status of civil aeronautics. This indicates a needifor more recruits to enter this growing active profession in order to supply the needs of commercial and p.ivate plane operators. Airciatt 312 are shown to be in operation within tiie while lb! licensed piipvsl are registered in Indiana, Un.y 218 of the Indiana aircraft are| licensed by the government as te-| ing airworthy, and 94 are reveal-{ ed as operating without official: approval. Pilots’ licenses are ranged in' four classes, each di which is se-'i cured after rigid department ox commeice inspection. 'the first 1 grade is the amateur license of! which 32 are licensed in the state. [ The second step is the private; , rating and 173 of them are regis-l tered. Limited commercial licenses a,e held by 2b pilots and the transport rating, w hich is the I highest license, is in the hands of 10l “Hoosier" pilots. ’ Two gliders and” 20 accredited [ glider pilots a.e to be fuuna m' Indiana, the report states. < There are 1b,552 licensed pilots in the nation at the present time! as compared to a total of 18,5114' in Ibbi.. However, the past i'ourij yea.i* have been a rapid rise in ( the nurqber, which fed so low } during the second and third years j ot the depression. Indiana has a considerable numher of airports as shown by the' to.al oi 46 located in the state. ; f ex this number id aie municipal t potter, io commercial-lieiias, 8 m-H tvrmuui ihiiuing havens, 2 j army bases, ana •* miscellaneous j ports, partly or fuily lighted air-1 ports a.e to ce found at 19 ot these \ neluS. | • '—— ———— £ Some Ideas for t Closing Cottage [ W hen a summer camp or cottage: 1 is closed tor the wui.er, the fur-1 (ilshmgs must be p. otected from ’ mice, squiueis, insects, and fire.!' rne united states forest Service 1 suggests: i' ruispooe of every scrap of food, J leaving notning ror mice or in-' sects, Hou., sugar, spices, and|' san will keep uh winter in moist-; 1 u.e_proof and vermin_proof conJ 1 tamers such as tin boxes or glass ' jars with tight lids. DonT leave pacKaged food liKe cerea.s winch nave been opened, t ats of any kiiiu w’lll become rancid. Bottled I liquids and canned goods are hseiy to freeze and burst. f or lire p. evention and cleanliness, dispose ox rubbish liKe papers, oaf magazines and rags—l pa.ticularly oily cloths or those that nave been used tor cleaning or in painting. Put matches in a tight container that mice cannot gnaw. | Mice also eat candles and wax tops from jellies, and when very hungry they will eat soap and' soap flakes. In unoccupied houses,) mice and squirrels sometimes get| into mattresses and make nests, i Some campers hang matresses and' pillows on the room partitions over the winter. Rub a little oil over bed springs, stoves, arid screw heads to prevent rust if .the climate is damp. Store blankets, comfortables, < and woolen sweaters or bathing : suits in a tight box or trunk after) brushing them and making sure - they are clean and free from 1 moths or moth eggs. Sprinkle I naphthalene or other moth-pro, 1 tective substances on them. Curtains must come down and be put away clean and ready for ; use next year. If theie are shades' • pull them down to prevent fading of the furnishings and to baffle [ inquisitive prowlers. In some climates, storm shutters will be! needed. 1

Saib, Indianapolis, is secretary of the State Commission on Clemency, having been promoted to this post from private secretary to Governor Townsend last March. She is a native of Fortville. For five years she was secretary to the general manager of the Indiana Farm Bureau, leaving in 1933 to become private secretary to Mr. Townsend when he was Lieutenant Governor. Mrs. ! Saib is president of the State House Women’s Democratic Club. State Restrictions [ Hamper Sales t . Barriers to interstate trade inh fresh fruits and vegetables we e, cited recently by Wells A. Sherman of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics as tending to retard the natural development of the produce industry. The barriers are in the form of arbitrary .grading, packaging, marking, and quarantine regulations which seek to tar or at least to hamper interstate business in farm produce. “These barbed wire entanglements have been allowed to spread i cross the Lighv. ays of our internal commerce,” Sherman said, “to the point where there is a growing spirit of jealousy, suspicion, and disunion among fruit and vegetable interests.” Sherman pointed out, however, that few of the moie extreme State statutes are so administered as to cause the maximum amount of trade interference. The States i practice “selective enforement.” They restrict only certain products largely produced within the State or competitive products shipped into the State during its own growing season. “In some cases," he declared, “Slate officials enforce the law only in parts of the State, or' I under condition which result in' the collection of sufficient fees or , fines to make enforcement selfsupporting or possibly financially profitable. I “In some Stales, restrictions a.e . * imposed only on fruits and veget-| ables which cross the State line over the highways, and no attempt is made to restrict identical; products coming in by rail. In a number of States, the enforcement might be called regulation; ,by ietribution; in others quaranJ | lines are used as economic weap_ i ons to embarrass competing producers in other States.” Civil Service Examination Announced The United Stales Civil Service Commission has announced open competitive examinations as follows: Associate geophysicist, 03,200 a year; and assistant geophysicist, j $2,600 a year. Special agricultural economic I writer, $3,800 a year, Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Cottonseed technologist, $3,800 a year, Bureau of Agricultural I Economics.
