In the evening a reception for friends was held, also at the Newkirk home. &OOAX. nBOSAMT HASANARTICLX >•." IN "AIR TECH" (Continued from'first page) position of the plane. Another thing which must be taken into consideration is the travel of the plane between bearings. In this case, with the plane traveling north and using only two stations, a short time elapses between bearings. The point of our position would be west of our actual position due torthe westward shift of the point of intersection caused by our northward travel. Therefore, it is easily seen that the bearings should be taken as quickly as possible. Compass Rose "A 'compass rose' is required when making the lines on the map. It is a flat circular piece of celluloid with degrees marked around the edge. An arm similar to a ruler is connected to the center of the circular piece. This ruler section can be rotated around the center and used to draw a line any number of degrees from ncrth. It is used by laying it over the location of the station which was used in shooting the bearing, with the 0 degree mark pointing true north.

ELIZABETH BAUEN Mrs. Elizabeth Rauen, 61 years old, passed away in St. Joseph's hospital, Elgin, on Sunday, April 18, 1943, where she had been taken a week previous for observation. She had been in poor health for several years. The deceased had been born Elizabeth Freund on Oct. 21, 1881, and married John Rauen on Jan. 25, 1922, at St. John's Catholic church, Johnsburg. Soon after their marriage they moved to Sprine: Grove, where they had since resided. Survivors besides the widower are a step-son, Arthur Rauen of Chicago, three sisters, Mrs. Math Rauen, Mrs. Louis Bishop and Mips Emma Freund, all of McHenry; and two brothers, Fred, of Johnsburg and Louis, of Spring Grove. Funeral services were held on April 21 at 9:30 o'clock from St. Peter's Catholic church in Spring Grove. Interment was in the church cemetery. FINAL REPORT Of SCHOOL SURVEY COMMITTEE ENDS The McHenry County School committee met March 10, 1943, to prepare its final report required by state. Reports of the approval and disapproval served on a table which had as its! districts to the recommendations centerpiece a beautifully decorated cake. Miss Nelson received a variety of attractive gifts, including one from her brother, Pvt. Leonard Nelson, who is stationed in Hawaii. In attendance were Carol Conway, The SELECT NEW JURT county Board of Supervisors •elected a new grand jury on Wednesday of this week. Named on the jury from McHenry were A. E. Nye and Mrs. Albert Purvey. made in the preliminary report were heard and considered. The committee wishes to state again that its function is merely to give information which all districts must have in order to solve the problems which are facing them. The recommendations as to specific changes in boundaries made in the preliminary report are suggestions only. In each case people of the districts, themselves, must decide what shall be done. As a result of its eighteen-month study the committee submits the following recommendations as its final report. The committee recommends: 1. That inasmuch as the present school district la/ws were established in horse- and buggy days when every pupil walked to, school every day and was dependent upon the roads then existing; and inasmuch as three or four of the present-day districts, if combined, would have no larger enrollment than did each of the districts originally; that districts with small enrollments and lower assessed valuations combine to form one district large enough to provide minimum assessed valuation of $200,000 and a minimum enrollment of fifteen pupils. 2. That all non-high school territories be abolished and become a part of whatever schrol district is con venient for its pupils to attend high school. 3. That high school districts having an Assessed valuation of less than $1,000,000 and a population of fewer than 1,500 be joined with adjacent high schol districts. line is then drawn the map along the arm., , ; "Now that we have a general idea of the equipment that is -used in establishing our position by radio compass, let us take a problem and see how the equipment is used. "Suppose that we are over Kentucky, flying north, and need to get more exact information of our location. We are equipped with an automatic radio compass, a compass rose and the Nashville section aeronautical chart. Let us suppose that we are going' to tune in three local stations. In order to make bur shots as quickly as possible we arrange our frequencies in numerical order to save time in tuning from station to station. We write these station frequencies and their names in the order which we are going to use them in shooting the bearing; then we note the true bearing and the reciprocal bearing as we make them. Take the time of the last bearing when finished. Chart Sta. Nashville -- Call WSM, freq. 650, bearing 180 deg., reciprocal 0 deg. Sta. Knoxville--Call WNOX, freq. 990, bearing 110 deg., reciprocal 290 deg. Sta. Evansvtlle--Call WGBF, freq. 1280, bearing 830 deg-; reciprocal 150 deg. "Now to plot the position, lay the compass rose over Evansville with the zero degree setting due north, swing the arm of the rose to the reciprocal bearing (150 degrees) and draw a line along the edge of the arm. Now move the rose and set it over, Knoxville with the zero degree^setting due north and swing the arm to. 290 degrees and draw a line along the arm again. Repeat the same procedure for Nashville. Hie intersection of the three lines is the position where the plane was when the last shot was taken. If it took us three minutes to draw the lines for the position and we were traveling at 180. miles per hour, we are nine miles north of Auburn, Ky., since our original position was over Auburn when we finished the bearing. "Having completed this much of our problem we are prepared to jfO into the problem of variation. "In our previous problem We assumed that we were traveling north in order to simplify the problem of shooting the bearing. However, if we had been traveling east or at 9u degrees from true north we would have had to compensate for this on our compass indicator. In order to make this possible the indicator face is made in two sections, one fixed, the other movable by turning a knob. This fixefl section is mounted in the aircraft in such a manner that the zero degree line is forward. Inside this scale is a smaller scale which has the same marking as the fixed scale. $ can be turned 360 degrees if necessary. To compensate for the 90 degree heading we must turn this inner scale to a position where the zero setting will actually be north. In this case the zero setting of the inner scale will be placed opposite 270 degrees on the outer scale. Then all bearings which are taken will be read on the inner scale. 'Variables "So far, we have compensated for only one variable. It is necesary to compensate for still another variable commonly known as easterly or westerly variation. This variation is caused by magnetic bearings not being a true indication. When the magnetic compass is used in some sections of the United States, their reading is several degrees east or west of true north due to this variation. If the magnetic compass points two degrees east ,it is compensated for by turning the inner scale in the direction which the knob indicates. This knob has 'Var.' printed on top of it, beside this marking is an arrow with an 'E' for east and a W for west. When the inner scale has been properly adjusted, then the indicator is set for 'shooting a bearing.' In cases where the automatic compass is used for homing, both scales are set at zero degrees and the station tuned in. The pilot steers to keep the needle of the compass indicator on zero. If the compass is used fer 'homing' and there is a side wind, then there will be a slight error due to drift and 'crabbing' of the airplane. 'This error must be compensated for by steering to correct it9. Hie amount of correction is determined by the use of a drift meter. "This is not a complete explanation of the use of a radio compass, but n. should be sufficient to get yott home through a fog. The net «• leave to our navigator.'* 0 , Even after reading' the above interesting story concerning the importance of radio in flight, we are not sure that we could get home through that fog Sgt. Cooney talks about. We are sure, however, that we would feel safe if he were behind the controls for he has convinced us that he really knows his business. sum FOR SIMM Suit for $10,000 has been against John Doerfle in the „ court of Cook county on the that his motorboat caused the death of 15-year-old Georgene Bach in ti|| Fox river, near McHenry, on July lfc 1942.
