The plat concerns the difficulties en route ta an almost ordinary visit with some relatives he hasn't seen for a long tizne. The time was Good Frlday when the event began, but let us read Bob's own story. By Bob Lockhart "For aur trip ta Waltham, Mass., my two brothers, Andy and Dave and nephew Morris Gould, lef t Welland airport in a Piper Tri-Pacer - a wonderful four-pace 'plane owned by the local flying club. Brother Andy has had his flying licence since 1946 and had undertaken ta transport us ta visit our sister. "As you will discover later we were fartunate when 15 minutes later, Andy called the tower at Buffalo asking per- mission ta land and clear Customs. They suggested they bring us in by instruments on their new radar equipment. It was quite an experience and one which may have saved mY brothers' lives. Landlng at Closed Airport "We cleared Customs quick- ly and headed for Albany, 240 miles away, where we arrived without incident, except could not raise the tower there and decided ta land at another air- port eight miles away. This turned out ta be a private air- port which, due ta spring thaws, was closed and in poor condition. 0f course, we did net know that and as aur gas was low took a chance and land- ed on the soggy field. We nosed the aircraft up to the gas pumps and got out for a stretch when the chief instructor came out tea greet us. He strongly advised1 us ta fly te another airport be- fore gassing up and offered to have one of his men drive three1 of us over in his car. He didn't think we could get off thec ground with a full load on their poor runway. We took his ad- vice. "We left from Albany airpart for the last leg over the hills ta Bedford Airport and climbed ta 7,000 feet over some of the mnost rugged country I had seen in some time. Wlthout funther Incident, we landed at the air-1 port near Waltham and were mnet by my sister, Mrs. Betty Casey, daughter Stari-Anne, my1 brother-in-law, Jerry Zoehler and son Gerald. We spent a wonderful couple of days with BURKETON There are quite a number of people in and around the vil- lage who are suffering fromn colds and other illnesses. Best 'wishes for their swift return, te health. Mr. Doug. Morrison, Oshawa, spent Sunday with Mn. and Mrs. Win. Stephenson and fam- Ili' There will be choir practice *very Thursday evening in pre- paration for the Anriversary service te be held on Sunday, May 25. There will be a com- bination of the Senior and Children's Chairs-'at the after- noon service, and we are pleas- ed te welcamne Orano United Church Choir at the evening service. It is hoped that all choir memnbers will make a special effort ta be at chair ipractice for the next few weeks in order te make the anniversary service and music mnore inspining. The Jally Workers' Club met at the home of Mrs. Jean Grace April 23. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Stephen- son visited friends in Oshawa on Saturday. Mr. and Mns. George Waller and Nancy. Markham, were Wednesday sugger guests of her N um bers Parti.cipate in I.O.O.F. Parade id Holidays lerously thern. We hadn't seen her for ten years. Encountered Snow Storm "On Sunday, we returned ta the airport where the weathier office told us if we took off im- mediately we might make it over the mountains before the storm blew in. About 75 miles out we ran into a snow storm which, due to icing conditions, forced us to keep flying lower and lower. At 1500 feet and flying in ravines we fînally spotted a small airport we had passed just a few minutes earl- ier. We flew in real low and saw it was a grass field. We made it on the second pass. Lucky ta Get In «'The instructor at this place, Turner Falls, proceeded to tell us how lucky we were to get in without cracking up. Appar- ently, in the past few days two military aircraft had crashed in I30 with three out of four killed. Another aircraft sînilar to ours groups was stili in the mouintains planne nearby since it crashed in Jan-- uary. "One of the men drove up to the nearest village and we took a bus to Gre3nfield. My two q~ brothers stayed there and Sat . out the storm and my néphew and I got the next bus and headed for home. We found out later that my brothers were able to take off two days later, but 30 miles out of Buffalo ran into bad weather again. Again Landed by Radar Z. "Both Buffalo and Niagara Falls papers published articles on their landing, again by radar, the visibility was sa poor. It was the first time the radar has been used in a real emergency, but apparently it worked well and instead of brînging them in ta Buffalo, because of heavy traffic, they were guided to Bell : Aircraft airport at Niagara Falls, N.Y. It took them 34 minutes ta talk them in safely. "Frankly, I was just as pleased I had made the journey by bus. One unexpected landing was enough for me."î S TARK VILLE Mn. and Mns.
