MORE ABOUT . . .
MOOSE PASS . . .
(Continued rrom Page 1)
his usual Friday trip to Seward
Sept. 14 because of the condi
tion of the road. This is the first
time that this has happened since
the weekly service to town was
inaugurated and everyone hopes
that as soon as the weather and
road conditions permit, the serv
ice will be resumed.
Mrs. Clyde Smith and three
little sons are back in Moose
Pass after being gone since last
May. They are again living in
the Brewington cabin which has
undergone extensive repairs this
summer. The owners, Mr. and
Mrs. Brewington of Anchorage,
did the work themselves over
the summer months. Mr. Smith
is still working at Silvertip, but
will get in on weekends to help
Dot and the boys get settled in.
Mrs. James Smith entertained
Mrs. Raymond War, Mrs. Wil
liam Estes, Mrs. Ray Foster, Mrs.
Thurman Wolfe and Mrs. Robert
Hall on Thursday afternoon,
Sept. 13. Canasta was played and
the guests enjoyed refreshments
of pie, Rye-Crisp and coffee late
in the afternoon.
This is the month of birthdays
in Moose Pass with Mrs. Robert
Shepherd, Mrs. Ray Foster, Mrs.
Thurman Wolfe and Mrs. Glenn
Miller having birthdays this
week. Larry Foster celebrated
his birthday Sept. 10 by inviting
Charles Clements, Paul Reed
and his little brother Billy to
spend the evening at games fol
lowed by a big birthday carte
prepared by his mother, Mrs.
Max Foster. On Sept. 14 Paul
Reed observed his twelfth birth
day by asking Larry and Billy
Foster, Norman and Joe Pear
son and Charles Clements to
share the birthday cake baked
by his mother, Mrs. Merle Reed.
Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Metcalf,
who purchased the Williamson
place at Mile 24 near the Ranger
Station during the past winter,
have come down to make repairs
and fix the house up for the win
ter. The Metcalfs have lived in
Anchorage since 1 '40 and are
already acquainted with Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Woods who lormer
ly lived in that city. Mr. Met
calf, Mr. Ames and Mr. Woods
left Kenai on Saturday, Sept. 15
in a 20-foot dory equipped with
a 25-horse outboard motor and
an auxiliary 0-horse motor. They
mad? the trip up Kenai River
through Skilak and Kenai Lakes
to the Ranger Station by G p.m.
Sunday evening. The second
motor was used only during the
passage through the rapids west
■of Henton’s Lodge and the only
game they saw was one black
bear. The only happening out of
the ordinary was the gain in
time by Mr. Metcalf’s automatic
watch. The vibration of the out
board motor pepped it up two
hours on the trip so that he got
home at 8 p.m. while the other
two got in at 6 p.m., but they all
traveled in the same boat.
Mrs. William Estes and son
Bill left on the Friday train for
the States. Dona, who has been
spending the summer with her
Grandmother Shellhorn in Cor
c ov«\. will join her mother and
Bill -or the trip. The family will
make their home in Trenton,
Missouri, where Mr. Estes and
Pat are already located.

A MATTER OF OPINION
I gave a flight test to a hope
ful candidate lor an additional
rating to his pilot certificate a
few weeks ago. We went up to
Big Lake for a series of water
landings. It was raining, and the
ceiling lowering, but the weather
forecaster promised Anchorage
would stay open another two
hours.
Fingers of fog formed almost
all around us, leaving the lake
in sort of a clear hole, with a
corridor of clear air out of Knik
Arm. The fog patches grew large
and solid and joined the bases of
low cloud layers.
After we had gone through all
the maneuvers required for the
flight test, we started back home.
The clear way was east to Knik
Arm and then south down the
Arm to Anchorage. The pilot
took a short-cut be:-line for
home. As we neared the wall of
fog, I waggled my finger to the
left and suggested the "'back
door.” He reluctantly turned left,
and compromised with a head
ing about half way around to the
clear direction.
Obviously he meant to go
through the fog unless I object
ed. I objected. The only com
ment he made was that, “That
stuff is nothing compared to
what we had to fly through last
hunting season.”
Right here there was a big
difference of opinion. He was
either an unrepressed charter
member of a “Tall Story Club,”
or he was dangerously ignorant
or an optimist, wholly unable to
decide for himself the kind of
weather which is flyable.
This much I was certain of,
as certain as my 23 years of fly
ing to his 3 years, permit me to
presume an opinion; that 1 could
not possibly have handled the
airplane myself within that cur
tain of fog. (It was not equipped
for strictly “instrument” flight.)
Most pilots fly more skillfully
than I cto, but I would not ride
through a dense fog with them
because of it. There are many
pilots wiio know the country so
well that they can fly in much
worse weather than i can, and
have wide margins of safety, but
I would not ride through a
dense fog because of it.
My candidate flunked the
flight test. I told him so before
the “weather incident” arose.
His technique in clear weather
was not safe.
