A new baby learns through his senses as they develop, St. John Ambulance advises mothers. Al- though individual children may differ in the.speed in which they learn, they almost invariably produce their accomplishments in the same order.

Chief Flying Instructor Bill Cruickshank of the Wingham Air Services took a somewhat hesitant reporter for a 20 minute ride about Wingham Thursday. The, top of the picture is the wing of the Cessna 150, two place training craft. The picture is taken from the northwest part of town, lookingeast along the railway tracks. Note the ball diamond on Josephine Street in the bottom centre of the picture. PILOTS' SCHOOL—Holly Keil of Wingham listens to instructor Dave Moir. explain the. panel of the Cessna 150 she is learning to fly. There are 31 registered students in the night school course at F. E. Madill. The Wingham Air Service has three full time instructors, each with a commercial pilots' license. Thfrty-oneare registered in pilots' ground school "It's kind of nice for us house- wives to get up there and forget the house, dirty dishes and kids for awhile." That's how one stu- dent expressed her reasons for learning to fly. She is one of 31 registered in the pilots' ground school taught by the Wingham Air Service at an F. E. Madill Secondary School night course. Almost any profession and any age group can'be found in the classroom and in the air: The reasons for taking .the course are varied. One young couple decided it would be fun and exciting; they don't have a plane yet but see one possibly in the future. The husband sees it as a much faster way of travelling north to do some hunting. Flying Instructor Dave Moir explains. that 45 hours of flying are required by government regulation to obtain a private license. "The average Canadian pilot will earn his license at 48 hours," he says, "but most stu- dents average 50 hours." "The ground school can he taken anytime, before or after flying," he says. The ground 'school isn t a necessary part of the training in the standard pro- gram. A written exam, however, as well as a flight test would be required to obtain the license. In an approved course, which'is 35 hours of flying time, the ground n school is required, Mr. Moir explains. The Wingham Air Service is a satellite of the base in Goderich.' Port Elgin is another satellite and the instructors teach at both places during the week. • Instructors include Mr. Moir, Terry Stuart of Goderich who teaches aerobatics and Chief Fly- ing Instructor Bill Cruikshank who has 11,000 hours of flying time. There are three part-time teachers as well. All have a commercial pilot's license which allows them to work on an instructor's rating . course. After 250 hours flying time for the commercial licentie they then had 12 hours' of dual in- struction in the air and 20 hours of ground briefing in instruction techniques. There is a final ride with an inspector and this check- up follows once a year. A commercial pilot's license also allows them to charge for training, aircraft rental and air ,taxi services. The Air Service has five Cessna 150's which are two place (seater) training craft and two Cessna 172's which are four place craft used ,mainly for rentals and charter work as well. They have one Decathlon which is used for aerobatics and a Beach Craft Bonanza, also used for charter flights. Mr. Moir says some old pilots will say anyone who can walk .a straight line and chew gum at the same time can learn to fly. Mr Moir agrees it isn't too difficult but adds that planes are getting much more technical and there is more stress on radio and control towers, One of the requirements for the test is to travel a long distance, about three hours int length, and land where there is a control tower operating. Students from , this school go to Kitchener. Landing is probably the roost difficult part Mr. Moir says. Stu- dents are taught how to climb, 'descend, land in a crosswind and how to navigate, check on the weather and of course the instru- ments on the aircraft panel, Some time is spent previewing the plane with the instructor before actual flying is done. Most air lessons are one hour in length followed by a review of what hap- pened, "A lot of it is getting into the plane and seeing how it is done," Mr. Moir says. The students are also taught how to handle a plane in case of an engine fire or mechanism failure and how to pick out an emergency landing spot "Safety is stressed," he adds. One other requirement is to pass a medical by an approved Ministry of Transport doctor. Seventeen is the minimum age to obtain a license but a student's license is available for 16 year olds. Flying 1,000 feet above Wing - ham at approximately 95 miles per hour is a thrilling experience. Herds of cattle look like toy ani- mals that go with play farm sets; cars look as if they could be pushed with ‘a baby finger and the town of Wingham is relatively small from up there. Football players at F. E. Madill appeared as small blue dots on a green piece of cloth and the colors of autumn leaves can be breathtaking. Despite the speed, a feeling of being suspended in motion and time comes over you. The course runs at Wingham for 20 weeks. Besides Wingham and Port Elgin, ' the instructors teach at Hanover and Goderich. During the winter the Air Service closes and the planes are moved to Goderich, Mrs. Jinn Busby leads devotions at UCW meeting BELMORE — The president, Mrs, Evan Mawhinney, opened the meeting with a poem, "Good Friend", when the members of the McIntosh United Church Women met. Mrs. Jim Busby conducted devotions which' were opened with the singing of a harvest hymn. Scripture was read by Mrs. Oliver Dustow and Mrs. Busby gave a meditation. Roll call was answered with a thought on Thanksgiving Day. "What Happened to Thanks- giving?" and "Open His Prison" were the titles of the articles chosen by Mrs. Jack Inglis for the study. Plans were made for the dinner which the UCW will cater for on November 18. A card was signed by those present, to be send.. to Margaret Lewis who iO hos- pitalized. Invitations to Thank - offering meetings at Teeswater and Mildmay were read. Mrs. Mac Inglis conducted a special feature which was based on a new song called "Onward Christian Women". The meeting closed with prayer. Buy your home, life, boat, and auto insurance from a friend'i The Co -Operators your credit union sponsored insurance company Co-operation among Co -Ops.
