O
Familiarization With The
Airplane
Now just sit in the plane and
familiarize yourself with every
thing’ around you- Notice the po
sition of the throttle and the
switches. In most planes, they
are to your left. Rest your feet
on the rudder pedals and experi
ment with their action. Get the
feel of the stick. Don’t hesitate
to sit there for 10 o 15 minutes.
The inside of the plane should
become as familiar to you as the
inside of your car. Locate the in
struments in their various posi
tions on the instrument panel:
The tachometer (R.P.M.’s), air
speed indicator, oil temperature,
etc. Note the full ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’
position of the Fuel Shut-Off
Valve and Carburetor Heat Con
trols. Your instructor will point
them out to you and explain their
functions. Don’t be afraid to ask
questions- It would be a good
idea to try to draw from memory,
later, the various instruments in
their correct positions.
Starting The Engine
This is the procedure that you
must always follow when you
start the engine on your plane.
1. Make sure that your plane
is clear of other planes. Head
it so that it won’t blow dust on
spectators, other planes, or into
the hangar. The dust and dirt
raised by your propeller blast can
damage other planes.
2. Place blocks under the
wheels. It is dangerous for the
plane to start moving when you
are unprepared. Remember, too,
that someone has to spin the pro
peller to start the engine for you,
and that he will be in the path j
of the plane when the engine j
starts. Spinning the propeller by j
hand is called “propping”. Al- j
ways make sure that your plane I
is blocked ( or “chocked”) secure- j
ly before starang the engine and I
also when you leave it after ai
flight.
3. Run a line inspection of the
airplane. A line inspection is an
inspection of the plane to see that
it is airworthy. There are avail
able printed check sheets (Form
ACA 526) that list all points to
be inspected (control cables,
landing gear, spark plug connec
tions, etc.)
Your instructor will explain this
in more detail. Even though a
line inspection may have already
been run by someone else, do it
yourself. You can’t always count
on having someone else do it for
you—and he may not be as care- ;
ful as you in checking, since he is 1
not going to fly the plane. •
4. Check the gas and oil supply, j
Never rely on the gas gages; they I
can, and often will, register in
correctly. Look in the tanks
yourself. Replace gas and oil
tank caps securely. An empty
gas or oil tank is a miserable ex
cuse for a forced landing—and it’s
a frequent reason.
5 Fasten your safety belt as
soon as you get in the plane. Make
this a firm habit, even if you’re
just going to warm up the engine.
On the few occasions when you
really need a belt, you don’t have
time to fasten it.
6. Next, see that the Gas Shut-
Off Valve is in the full ON posi
tion, that both the ignition
switches are in the full OFF po
sition, and that the throttle is ful
ly closed (Pulled All the Way
Back).
7. Never try to “prop” the en
gine yourself while attempting to
handle the throttle at the same
time. Have some competent per
son, such as a mechanic, “prop”
it for you. You can’t be in two
places at once, and you certainly
can’t do a good job of both things.
Civil Air Regulations require that
a competent person must be in
the plane at all times while the
engine is running! Don’t violate
a civil air regulation.
8. Keep the stick back, so that
when the engine starts, the air
plane’s tail will stay on the
ground. Holding the stick back
keeps the elevators- raised, and
the air stream from the propeller
will force the tail down.

Hay Tear Down
Fuehrer s Lair
Fear Retreat Might Become
Symbol of Nazi Spirit
That Ruined Reich.
By PAULINE FREDERICK
(WNU Staff Correspondent)
If you have been to Berchtesgaden
since the war ended, you will under
stand why there is talk of destroying
Hitler’s eagle’s nest perched atop
the highest alp in that area, as his
house and that of Goering and Bor
mann farther down the mountain
side were levelled. Only it will be a
much harder job.
I have just been to the eagle’s nest
and I can tell you at first hand why
there is some apprehension about it.
The eagle’s nest is the retreat der
fuehrer had built for himself on a
point 5,000 feet high. It is made of
the solid stone of the Bavarian moun
tain on which it is anchored. To
reach it, you go up a precipitous
winding road. Himmler’s Mercedes,
with its five speeds forward, in
which I was traveling, gave out and
spurted steam and water a third
of the way up. .A jeep that picked
me up at that point stopped, too, a
little later, but we finally arrived at
our destination with the aid of a sec
ond .ieep.
Tunnel Solid Rock.
You first reach a tunnel more than
a hundred feet deep into the solid
rock and guarded by huge bronze
doors. It leads to a double-decker
elevator that rises 500 feet through
a shaft bored through the rock to the
eagle’s nest. The top cage of the
elevator—a bronze section with a
circular mirror on the back wall and
leather-cushioned bench around the
walls —was foi Hitler. A trap door in
the right hand corner as you enter
was for the SS'men to drop down
into their cage below, which was
white-washed like a cell. When the
elevator reached its destination at
the top of the mountain —the SS got
out on the ground floor and Hitler
entered his living quarters on the
first floor. From the view you get at
this height, despite the fact that the
house itself and the furnishings—
what have been , left by the G.I.
souvenir hunters —are unattractive
—is enough to give anyone delusions
of grandeur.
I stood on the narrow terrace look
j ing out over the breath-taking scene
talking with one of the American
j guards. It was what he told me that
made me realize that some day the
I eagle’s nest might have to be de
| stroyed.
Hitlerism Not Dead.
The guard told me that two SS
j men had just been arrested up
there. That surprised me very much,
and I remarked that they might
have known there was a good
chance of being caught if they came
around a place like that. “Why would
they do it?’’ I asked the guard.
His answer startled me. “This is
still a shrine to many Germans,” he
said very seriously.
Then he pointed down the hill to
Hitler’s guest house just back of his
house that had been bombed, too.
Germans were repairing it for a
barracks for occupation forces.
“The Germans we put to work
down there, work as they work no
place else —they never lose a sec
ond,” the guard said. “Why—be
cause they can see the eagle’s nest
from there.”
It is true that it is almost impos-
I sible to find a German in Germany
I who ever admits being a Nazi. From
I these two incidents, it would seem
! to be true also that the spirit of
j Hitlerism is not dead in Germany.
That is why the things that remind
the people of Hitlerism at the height
of the fuehrer’s glory may have to
be destroyed so they will not become
symbols of that spirit which has to
be done away with if a new Ger-
I many is to come out of the war.
Fire Fighters Are Just
That and Nothing More
ST. LOUIS. Mrs. Ralph Crowd
i er almost solved the problem of
getting in the fruit crop.
A large and productive tree in her
back yard was laden with apricots.
Unable to cope with the harvest her
self, she called the fire department.
“There’s an apricot tree in my
back yard—” she told the fireman
who answered the telephone. But
the connection was cut off and a few
moments later Mrs. Crowder was
startled by the arrival of a ladder
truck, which roared to a stop in
front of her home.
“Where is that tree?” one of the
firemen asked breathlessly. When he
was told that Mrs. Crowder was of
fering to let the firemen pick fruit,
he shook his head.
“We have no time to pick apri
cots,” he explained. “There might
be a fire somewhere and it would
not look well for the fire depart
ment to be up in a tree picking
fruit.”

My Little Policeman
Listen be quite,
I hear my baby boy playing po
liceman tonight.
Yes there he goes with his little
gun,
Pretending there’s a burglar un
der the lounge.
Bang, a waisted shot.
The burglar escaped to another
spot.
A call for help, his big brother
joins the fun.
They soon had the burglar on the
run.
Where he escaped to I know not,
But I’m not afraid, oh! gee there’s
another shot.
As I lay there so still and quite,
I wondered if the burglar got
away in fright.
Soon they were coming back up
the stairs,
I heard them laughing they had
caught a pair.
No, now I’m not afraid to go to
sleep,
Because my little policeman is on
his beat.
