Air-To-G round
The Macon County Search and
Rescue Squadron, headed by
Frank Plyler, handled traffic at
the airport. An air-to-ground
"unicom" system was used by Mr.
Plyler and his staff in the control
tower to communicate landing
and take-off instructions to the
planes.
Once on the ground, the air
planes were directed to parking
by a Jeep with a large "follow
me" sign on Its rear bumper.
People Turn Out
First to arrive for the fly-in
were Mr. Burt and his party. They
came in late Thursday afternoon
to make advance arrangements
for accommodations.
A "packaged deal" was offered
the pilots and their families for
the fly-in. For $15, they received 1
two nights lodgings, five meals,
free digging at the ruby mines,
and many other extra services,
including transportation.
Friday, as the airplanes began
to arrive one-by-one people began
poftring out the highway in droves
to watch the activity on the field.
The parking lot stayed full most
of the four days the visiting
planes were here.
Mayor Burrell was on hand to
greet each party arriving and to
help arrange transportation for
them. Radio station WFSC did
special broadcasts direct from the
airport at intervals during the
afternoon and also extended
greetings to the flyers tuned in
on the WFSC frequency as they
approached the mountains.
Error Is Noted
Prior reports of 75-100 airplanes
expected were In error. Mr. Burt
said they limited the event to
100 persons (not airplanes). 1
Nearly 100 would have attendee,
he explained, but several cancelled
plans when weather reports of a
cold front moving in this area i
were received in Florida. i
"I'll tell you one thing," he de
clared. Just prior to leaving for ! ,
Miami Monday, "we'll have twice ?
as m any here next year."

G1 Insurance
Now Lapsed
Not Re-Opened
OI life Insurance has NOT been
re-opened for veterans who allow
ed their term policies to lapse
after World War II, the Veterans
Administration says.
The agency says the statement
was prompted by many inquiries
from World War II veterans seek
ing to get back their long-lapsed
National Service Life Insurance
(NSLII term policies.
News of a Congressional bill
containing an amendment which
would have provided for a gen
eral re-opening of NSLI to World
War II veterans was widely circu
lated In mid-August. VA adds.
But ? VA emphasized ? the bill
was later changed to eliminate
the NSLI re-opening provision.
More Expenses
The government allowance to
the week end at their cabin near
the Leatherman Gap, and attend
ed the Leatherman reunion at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. I. D.

ward veterans' bijrial expenses
has been Increased to $250 from
its former list of $150, Veterans
Administration has announced.
Applying only to deaths on or
after August 18, 1958, the increase
was authorised by Public Law
85-674.
VA said the allowance is pay
able for:
1. Veterans of. any war or the
Korean Conflict; or,
2. Peacetime veterans who were
receiving VA compensation at
time of death, or who were dis
charged or retired for disabilities
incurred In line of duty.
Not For Them
Q. I have been ordered to sup
port my two children, who are
in legal custody of my former
wife. Can I get a GI loan to buy
a house for them to live in?
A. No. VA requires that you
certify that you intend to reside
in a house bought with a GI
loan. The court order that you
must support the children does
not alter the fact that you do
not intend to live in the house
yourself.
