Baton Twirler Wants
Another Whirl At Parades
SALT LAKE CITY, (>P>— Harry
C. Beetison of Ashland, Nebr., is
71 years old, but he wants to twirl
his baton at the head of any pa
rade which Salt Lake City ar
ranges to celebrate on the centen
nial of the Mormon pioneers’ ar
rival in Utah.
And his baton twriling, he said
in a letter to the Desert News, “is
something different from what
any of you have ever seen.’’
“The baton I use,” he wrote, “is
four feet eight inches long with a
United States flag 14 inches by 22
inches on each end. I can march
in a parade and twirl the baton for
two hours and never drop it.
“I love to be in a parade. It al
ways makes me feel younger.”

WIEN PLANE CLEARS
FROM SAVOONGA FIELD
Wien’s plane look off from Sa-,
voonga Saturday after being
grounded for a week due to a very
soft field.
When the plane landed the field
had every appearance of being
sufficiently frozen with a four
inch crust of snow on the surface.
Under the ice, however, there was
water.
In order to take off it was
necessary to lay plants all along
the runway.
Pilot King reports that Savoonga
is in for a hard winter as the sup
plies for the teachers did not ar
rive. Also that the school house
which burned down last winter
has not been replaced and school
is being conducted in makeshift
quarters.
The diet of the pilots while de
layed at Savoonga had variety,
but somewhat different than the r
usual fare, consisting of seagull
eggs, seal livers, walrus steaks
and other tasty native morsels.
They found the teachers, Mr. and
Mrs. L. B. Williams as well as the
natives most co-operative and
friendly.
The plane departed for Fair
banks last evening.
THE PHRASE "HERMETICAL
ly sealed” comes from the use of
the “seal of Hermes,” the pagan
god, which alchemists placed on
their vessels, according to the En
cyclopaedia Britannica. Hermes
was the reputed inventor of the
arts and sciences, and alchemists
called their work the “hermetic
art.”
do, Japan’s northern-most island.
They said they hoped to be able to
take off tomorrow.
Two B-17 flying fortresses will
take turns convoying the little
planes most of the 1,500 miles to
Shemya.
