Advanced Training Program 'Lost' as Officials Fail to Find Airport for Secondary Training
By L. A. WOODRUFF
The advanced training program to be sponsored by the Civil Aeronautics Board was scheduled to get under way for a Rutgers group during the week, but was delayed due to general confusion. As yet no one, including the CAB, knows where the advanced training will be given. It will not, however, be given at Hadley, where the second primary civilian training program is now progressing. Eight Rutgers men, "graduates" of the winter program, have been chosen by Dr. Parker H. Daggett, dean of the College of Engineering to take the advanced flight work.
No announcement has been made as to where the secondary stage of the training will be given, but it probably will be offered at White Air Service, Caldwell. The Caldwell flying school holds an approval certificate of sufficient rank to allow a government program to be conducted there.
Private fliers in this vicinity will be pleased to learn that Phil Lucas of Plainfield has transferred to the territory by the CAB. Phil was for many years chief pilot at the former Bell Telephone hanger at Hadley. When Bell decided to give up maintaining its own planes for research purposes, Lucas went with the then Civil Aeronautics Authority as one of its Private Flying Development Specialists.
The CAA ceased to exist as of July 1 under President Roosevelt's reorganization plan and has since become the Civil Aeronautics Board, answering to the Department of Commerce. Lucas, formerly stationed in the middlewest, now will be in charge of a territory will allow him to visit his Plainfield home.
The Rutgers-sponsored CAB program at Hadley is progressing in swift fashion with three students meeting solo requirements during the week. They are Irving MacPherson Jr., William Vosburgh and Rudolph Yaros.
The Newark College of Engineering summer CAB program being flown at Somerset Hills, Basking Ridge, features two young women students, the first feminine pilot aspirants to be trained by the engineering school. They are Miss Mildred Preen of Oldwick and Miss Elsie Braun of West Caldwell.
Peter Prychka of 49 LaGrange street, Raritan, also is enrolled in the N. C. E. program.
Howard Mullin of Morristown who learned his flying at Somerset Hills is back — this time in the role of instructor. He was hired by George A. Viehmann, airport operator, to aid in the Newark College summer program at the Somerset County field.
Joseph Mastrovich of Raritan Township, one of the most enthusiastic model builders we've ever had the pleasure of meeting, saw a couple national records he held shattered last week at the National Model Air Meet in Chicago.
His Class B record of 2:18 for average of three flights fell when ideal model-flying weather provided unusual opportunities to many model airplane builders. Mastrovich bettered his own record by nearly a minute, but did not garner a national record. He placed ninth in Class B with a time of 3 minutes 17 seconds in three averaged flights in the Nationals.
Mastrovich has spent much time with a group of youngsters, members of his Hadley Model Airplane Club. Several members will accompany him to Poughkeepsie, N. Y. today where they will take part in a model meet.
Many entries have been received for the model meet to be sponsored by Harry Hansen Post, American Legion of Perth Amboy at Hadley Airport August 3, Mastrovich reports. A member of the post, Mastrovich has been the guiding star for the legion meet.
Rubber band contest for model seaplanes will be sponsored by the Hadley Model Club at Roosevelt Park lake next Sunday, July 21. According to the rules, the model seaplanes must take off from the water surface. The event should attract considerable attention, as few rubber-model seaplane contests have ever been scheduled.
Michael A. Gitt, our first instructor is a postman at heart. His day off from Somerset Hills Airport last Thursday was spent at Hadley Airport where he formerly worked.
Mike, an instructor at Somerset Hills, is giving time to Dr. George Marts of Plainfield. Dr. Marts will soon seek his private pilot rating.
Left-Handed Wrenches Should Be Made, Says Western Psychologist
BERKELEY, Calif., July 13, (AP)—They ought really to make a few of those left-handed monkey wrenches and some other port-sided equipment, says Neil W. Lamb, University of California psychologist.
In a study of 200 ambidextrous and left-handed high school students Lamb found that 3.5 per cent of the enrollment was port-sided, yet there were no facilities to aid them. He looked particularly at the rows of one-armed chairs in classrooms and dairy lunches and noted that they were made only for righthanders.
