SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1945 PLANES THAT FLY MADE BY HULLETT BOY During the war Huron county was one of the important air training centres of the Dominion, and it is not surprising that many of the young people are interested in miniature aircraft. Few have advanced as far, however, hi the art of building the little Machines, as Bob Irwin, son of Mr. and Mrs, Bert Irwin, of. the Huron; Highway west, who for the past eight! years has been building all kinds of model and miniature planes that ' really fly. The planes Include little scale solid models, five inches long, tor desk or- naments, and range up to gliders, fly- ing wings equipped with rockets or jets, dozens of different kinds of reg- ular planes equipped with rubber bands or diminutive gas engines, The larger planes have a wing spread of ninny feet, the largest being fifteen feet across. Bob wasn't very definite just how he got started building planes, but he knew it was eight years ago. The planes- perhaps were not as complicit- ed as tate ones he builds . now, but there was a lot of detail 'work about thern. There isn't such a thing as a simple plane. The tools which Bob uses in his work ere just ordinary small tools, including screwdrivers. He makes a special knife which he grinds out of old hacksaw blades. fie obtains plans for many ofthe planes from magazines, or if plans. especially of new ship„ are not avail- able, he draws plans to scale on large. sheets of rough paper. Most of his models will fly, He prefers rubber bands for -.motive power. 'Rob says the tiny gas engines are'very good, but they are rather ex- pensive, and quite hard to obtain at the present time, Tite wee engines come in different sizes, front a fiftieth to about one horsepower, He has successfully built working Models of the new jet propelled planes -the jets, . These models use a: kind of homemade gunpowdery mixture in the engine. They are really rockets, since they are limited to the fuel in- side the combustion chamber. How- ever, he is experimenting on a real jet engine which will continuously feed the explosive into the combus- tion chamber from a storage unit. Bob got his hand burned the first time he tried to start a jet, or rocket engine. Now he attaches a fuse that can he lighted by a match and he is at a safe'<listance when itgoes off. The rocket models develop a lot of heat and it is necessary to coat them With waierglass to protect the in- flammable lacquer from the ]teat. t The rocket plane models are so fast that their wings have to be built thinner than ordinary models. IIis first rocket plane had too Hutch wing thickness and after snaking a short flight the model dove straight tato the ground with great force. He also had a "flying wing" model equipped with a rocket motor, and it was this machine which on one oc- casion nearly knocked the young manufacturer out. It flew swtfty in a' circle and struck Bob on the back of the head lard enough to shear off one of its wings. Some of the rocket models use the sante principle as the German flying bombs. They are mounted on skids' instead of wheels, and are launched from runways. On one model Bob used thick aluminum wire instead 01 copper tubing for ac. skid, and when the plane landed he found the heat dr'om the jet bad melted the aluminum skid, His bobby gives Bob a great deal of pleasure and he is very enthusiastic about it,. He else finds a ready sale for the models. He thinks it a fine hobby for any boy and says it is not really expensiveas about .ten 'dollars should cover a year's expenses. At present he is working on a model j of Canada's newestplane, the CBT -3j cargo ship, made by Canadian Car Foundry Co, Another plane of which Bob is very proud is a model of a. flying fortress completely ,scaled in- -Side and out, and exactly like the real plane, D.

Dear Sir In renewing my sub- scription to your paper, it might be interesting to some of your readers to know' what kind of weather, etc., we are having and have had during the year now fast drawing to a close, The 'winter of 1944-5 was one of the finest winters we had seen for many years, very little snow and not very cold, The month of March was a very fine- month, but April was the reverse, many people passed the remark that these two months had exchanged places. Spring, sum- mer and fall were all out of kilter, cool and wet, although it did not rain a great deal, it kept at it by sprinkling with some foggy weather there were very few heavy or big rains and very few real warns days, thereby delaying the maturing of all grains and garden vegetables. The first frost came on Sept. 15th. with a real 'killing one on the 27th. The first snow came on the 30th of October, from which date there hasbeen more or less snow to this date. No severe storm has visited us Yet in this favored part of the Pro- vince, but it has been very cold for this season of the year, it was down to thirty below zero on Dec. 11th and oft times in the twenties. Not. withstanding the off year, an aver- age verage crop of most all varieties of grains and garden vegetables, roots, etc., have been garnered. This long word reminds me of the school ma'am who had requested her pupils to write a sentence con- taining the word "Notwithstanding" when one little fellow wrote the fallowing sentence, "My dad wore g hole in his trousers but notwith- standing." Thanking you for this space. and at the same time wishing you all, relatives and friends a Merry Christ- oras and a happy and prosperous 1946, I remain, yours very truly, WM. MURRAY.

He was the son Of Mr. and Mr's, Henry Eicher and was one of a family of nine sons and three daughters.

In 1900 he was united in marriage to Miss Susie Kennedy, daughter of Mr. and Mr's. Geo. Kennedy of Stanley and to- gether they devoted their lives to the great work of spreading the Gospel. Feeling tate call to India they went outas missionaries under the Christian and Missionary Alli- ance, and spent 20 years in India. On their return to the home land, Rev.
