3 ' EWINlflllN PLANS Creation of New Airways Reflects NEW FIRESTATION Yolmtser Deparinnt Comit {8 to Rt Funds for Bilng Newington, Feb. 7.—A meeting of the bullding committee of the New- ington volunteer fire department will be held in the town hall Friday eve- ning at which it is expected that definite plans will be made for the erection of a fire station, When this committee was first formed, no aid from the town was expected in constructing the building, and other ‘ways of raising money will be dis- gussed at Friday night's meeting. Since the possibility of financial &id from the town is small, the members of the department expect that funds will be raised by holding wocial functions, A social commit- tee has been app-inted for this pur- pose.. The building committee now consists of William Holt, 8amuel E. Walters, Everett W. Jones, Ray- mond V. Halleran, C. 8. Barrows, E. A. Elliottt, U. G. Avery, Patrick Mc- Kenna, Chester A. Rowley, R, H. Erwin, Charles L. Boyington, James V. Kiely, Willlam E. Winter, Leon W. Bacon and Kent'E. Stoddard. » Tentative plans, which have al- ready been drawn up, provide for the erection of a two-story building on the plot of ground just north of the post office, Space will be pro- vided on the second floor for club rooms for members. The estimated cost has been variously made at be- tween ten and twenty thousand dollars, The regular meeting of the Wom- an’s Club of Maple Hill will be held Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mrs, Harris J. Cook on Golf street. A musical program has been arranged. Mrs. Cook will be as- sisted by Mrs. H. A. Lienhard and Mrs. E. E. Austin, The Yadies' auxiliary of the Grange will hold & whist ut the home of Mrs. V. L. Eddy on Thurs- day afternoon. Mrs. Eddy will be assisted by Mrs. Everett W. Jones. The condition of Mrs. Catherine C. Rowley, who has been confined to her home for the past three weeks, 1s steadily improving., ° Mr. and Mrs. George W. Hanbury will leave this week for a six weeks’ stay in Florida. Mr. and Mrs. John F. Cotter of the center have moved to Hartford. Miss Rosalie Bell of the center is confired to her home by illness. The regular meting of the Grange will be held in the Grange hall this evening at 8 o'clock. Vare Declares Wilson Charges “Wholly False” ‘Washington, Feb. 7 (#—Charges of a conspiracy made against him by Willlam B. Wilson, democrat, in the contest over the Pennsylvania election of 1926, were declared by Willlam 8. Vare, republican scnator-elect to be “wholly false, wilfully made and without the slightest foundation {n truth or in fact.” “It 18 a cowardly attack without any justification,” Mr. Vare declar- ed in his answer filed with the senate elections committee. “It is a ‘wanton assault upon me and made solely for the purpose of securing & recount to which the complainant ‘was theretofore not entitled, and the oath attached thereto averring the truth thereof is a wilfuly false decla- ration, not based on any information as to my conduct, for such informa- tion does not exist, as this complain. ant well knows. TREMORS IN ALASKA Cordova, Alaska, Feb. 7 (UP)— Bevere earth tremors were felt the naval radio station here late night, it was disclosed early today. The tremors, which lasted about 10 seconds, were of an east and west motion, it was said. The movements also were felt at Cape Hick Brook, it was reported. No damage resulted here. Growing Use of Airplanes in U. 5. (By Frank J. Carmody) Among thé factors that reflect the expanding horizon of the air- plane in civilian life, none is more significant than the creation of new airways. In the brief interval that has followed the first real recogni- tion of the commercial potentiali- ties of the airplane, 4,120 miles of airways have grown up to link scores of important centers extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast and, by the middle of next summer, officials of the United States depart- ment of commerce expect to see this mileage Increased to 7,600, Airplane Highway As the “highway of the airplane,” an airway easily might seem to flmi average man to be nothing more | than a theoretical line drawn through space to link two or 200 | points. As such, he might wonder why a few hundred thousands of miles of airway could not be created |as rapidly as these theoretical Mnes | could be drawn in the imagination. | But as reasonable as the above definition may sound in the light of the airplane's ability to travel any- ‘where, there is nothing theoretical about an airway. That it has a great | deal of substance is evident in the | official definition which designates | an airway as “an air route between | air traffic centers with landing fa- cilities at regular specified intervals and equipped with aids to air navi- gation and a communication system for transmission of information { necessary to the operation of air- | craft.” | Thus, it is evident that an airway {not only is dimensional, but also that it has a number of physical ap- purtenances that are just as vital to safety as the dispatching system em- | ployed to speed trains along their | routes with a minimum of danger. These physical facilities of an airway include a system of lighting, intermediate landing fields, a com- | prehensive weather forecast service, a communications system that makes the weather reports speedily |available to the airplane pilot, and | a radio beacon and radio telephone | | system. The radio services, however, have not been fully perfected, al- | though the subject of intense ex- | perimentation, All the other facili- |ties, however, are available upon | every airway and now are being utilized by the planes of 12 air | transport companies which are fly- ing 16,000 miles daily. In dimensions, the airway 15 a | strip about five miles wide and is chosen after the most thorough sur- vey, which considers its economic advantage to the communities it will serve and the type of country with regard to safe day-by-day aerial travel. ‘Topography and weather conditions are the factors to be considered in the latter con- nectlon, of course. The manner of approach to the n |are assigned to On Rising - 1,120 Miles Already Lighted and Fully Equipped—Total 1s Expected to Reach 7,500 Miles by Next Summer. problem of selecting an airway in- dicates that it is not a hit-or-miss proposition. The task is in the hands of the survey section of the depart- ment of commerce airways division. Members of the staff of this section must have three essential qualifica- tions. They must be able to pilot a plane and, in addition, they must have real estate and engineering ex- perience. Operating in parties of four, they make a thorough study of a specified section of a pro- posed airway. First, they fly over the proposed route, locating inter- mediate landing ficlds at intervals of every 30 miles, photographing them and designating them upon maps. The next step is to inspect these tracts from the ground and, if they measure up to the epecifica- tions for safe landing and take-off fields for aircraft, and are con- venient to electric power, telephone service, highways, and railroads, ne- gotiations for their lease are begun. Safety is the primary consideration in every case, however. Lighting is the next step in the creation of an airway. At 10-mile intervale, in a direct airline, flash- ing beacon lights are erected and the ground marked. Each beacon light must be so placed that it will be visible from the light on either side of it. In addition to the Weacon lights, intermediate fields also are bound- ary lighted and otherwise marked. The identification marker is a circle, 50 feet in diameter. The circle is made of crushed stone or gravel set in flush with the ground and white- washed to make it plainly visible from the air. Indicators of the same materials point radially from the circles to the landing runways so the pilot will be able to select the best spot in case a landing is necessary. It is not contemplated that inter- mediate fields will be used extensive- |1y, for their primary purpose is one | of safety in case an emergency land- ing is necessary, when a sudden |change in the weather which makes continued flight hazardous or on account of trouble with some unit of the plane. Incidentally, it may be pointed out that the former is re- sponsible for more forced landings than the latter. | That it is not alway a simple mat- ter to locate intermediate landing fields is indicated quite clearly by‘the experience of the surveying group working on the Los Angeles-Seattle alrway. The heavily forested mountainous areas in this section | have made it necessary to reduce the usual spacing of 30 miles to 12 and 15 miles In several places.

For obvious reasons, however, the area may not be used for pasturing livestock. The person who knows the cost of an automobile highway to average $30,000 a mile will notice a vast and significant difference in the ex- pense of building a mile of airway. At present, it is running less than $350 a mile. Maintenance for a year averages under $200 a mile.
