0 NAN GRAVTTY ISNEVER ASLEEP Lieut. Dixon Tells Aviation Stu- dents Fundamentals of Flying Forty-five prospective aviators at- tended the opening session of the class in aviation at the ¥. M. C. A last evening. Although all the 45 have not signed up as students 15 | have enrolled while several others ' have Indicated their interest and are expected to join in the near future. The class is in charge of Lieuten- ant Carl A. Dixon of this city, chief pllot for the L. & H. Aircraft corp- oration. In opening his session Lieutenant Dixon explained some of the fundamentals of aviation, espe- cially in connection with ground work, which future pilots must know. Lieutenant Dixon told his pupils they must learn the language of aviation first. He sald aviation today is not a game but a business. Some students, he said, are paying at the rate of 50.cents a minute to learn to fly, and their lessons to date consist almost entirely of learning the language. A pilot never dares forget that “0ld Man Gravity never goes to sleep,” Dixon said. Winds may die | down, fogs may clear but gravity must always be reckoned with Students must know how to support a plane in the air. He predicted that aviation will be one of the outstand- ing methods of transpartation of the future and young men and women might do well to take up this voca- tion, he added. He made a special promise that if | physical examinations made by Dr. [ Pl students are interested in any par- «nch of aviation, he will | + the needed instruction in t h after the close of class soesio s cvery Tuesday evening, without additional expense. Many of the technical phases of aviation were explained by Licuten- ant Dixon, who told of the difticul- tics of topographical photography from the air. Of the 2,500 air photo. graphs made in New England, he said, Licutenant Charles Wright, also of New Britain has made 1,500, Among the students who lave joined the course are: Gordon ¥. 222 West Main street, Plainville; Douglas Harwood, 42 Howard strect; Charles Haddock, Jr., Kensington; John Monkiewicz, 181 Smith street; George D.

She said, | however, that it had showed a drop |of 8.5 from 1926 and that she be- licved that the drop in part had been due to the united efforts of the visiting nurses in the well Dbaby {work. In her statistical report, Mrs. | Lucas reported that 218 home visits had been paid to well babies in the a homes during October, an increase |of 57 visits over October 1927. | The 17 well baby conferences dur- ing October had a total of 69 new | babies admitted, an average weckly {attendance of 25 with a total of 2 !
