htened Passenger Takes in Over Strawberry Mart Wallace _ jrty market in the height He season prompted the En ... ^prise's roving reporter and 'intrepid traveller to accept a (pheneigled invitation to fly ov-. «r the scene Monday morning I and see if the mart was really I larger than it seemea. After due consideration, jfrom views gleaned from fore ' and aft, port and larbord, power dives and steep banks, , and the eyes of a dollar cam era, the conclusion is that this Ss a hellavu big strawberry (market. Even though the flight over iWallace lasted for 15 or 20 ininutes, it might be best to speed along as did the plane, ' • piloted by an old friend, Burt Jenkins, who dropped in last week-end and took up passen gers for Sunday afternoon hops. Said reporter crawled in while Ibystanders tried to bribe the pilot into dropping the inqui sitive one atop the strawberry shed, and after a couple of throaty roars the plane idled up the field, turned around, and • as quickly as you can stop read ing this filler, it leaped into the air. Said reporter was tirmiy strapped in the front cockpit, nevertheless he perspiringly And silently maintained that he (wished he’d listened to those scores of insurance salesmen. JThe plane banked, or turned as . St were, and he made the great Idiscovery that below was the tnarket. He could tell because iof the dust rising from one particular spot and the serpen tine line of automobiles, wag ons and trucks that meander ed down two streets and into the highway far past Hoffler jand Boney’s garage. A sudden lurch as the plane shot up a hundred feet in one tenth as many seconds, the once intrepid reporter re membered that he had hookey ed away from his desk in ord$r ast that the general public, at leas the ground-minded member*, pould see How the mart look ed from the air without having to turn another page of Dirp Hin’s favorite newspaper. He Blowly clambered to the edge of the cockpit, therefore, but first snaking certain that the safety belt was fast around one leg. Clutched in one hand was the camera; the other hald held the plane in place. A cord connect ed his neck to the camera and when he exposed the black box over the side the wind ripped Him from his moorings. Realizing, however, that his public wanted pictures, regard less of the perils attached, he lolambered upward again, but {came near fainting when he found out he had started into space, for Built was circling the mart with the left wings pointing terra finmaward. Cen trifugal force (is that right?) forced him to maintain his sta tus, however, so the public still had a chance of being satisfied. In a very undignified position v (he pushed and pulled on the ’ «amera release and then found that he hadn’t put in the film. Burt gyrated up and down, the reporter’s belly following suit, ' And to make a sad story short, the film was finally confined And work began. The little fellow leaned out And over, as a sea-sick person At the mention of food, and snapped away. Little did he know what he snapped at, so great were his tremors. Eran ticly he quivered and squirm ed as the plane sipped and soomed. He didn’t see ground standers duck when the plane roared over tree-tops, for his eyes, covered by superficial r goggles, were clenched shut, - hut the camera clicked and rol 'led. t : To get on with the tale, the * aforesaid reporter, by som* grace, cleared the last numeral , by the camera’s red window and yelled for ground and £ home. Burnt evidently was with flying alone as scarcely seen his pas se they checked up to thousand feet above airport and then the appeared to be ten feet of the grass, the plane upped and the stomach rested. A graceful swoop and the plane taxied in, but before it stopped the pray erful one jumped and yelled for a Camel. (Editor’s note: The jittery reporter’s efforts to furnish aerial views of the local straw berry mart developed into a complete flop. He did get some dandy tonsillectomy and heav enward studies, however.) LOCAL GIRL CANDIDATE FOR DEGREE AT W.C.U.N.C.

For instance, he says: “ We recently let it be known we would furnish a free “Tour aide”—a bound personal itin ary containing maps and a ho tel and tourist lodge guide, and bearing the motorist’s name in print on the cover.—to motor ists planning long trips. This was to replace old-style folding road maps. "Requests for these tour aides have come in so fast from all over the continent that we have had to employ 327 clerks on three seven-hour shifts. Although they’re put ting out 4,000 touraides a day, 25,000 requests have piled up. We’ll probably give out 400,000 of these touraides before we get through with year’s travel business.” ARTICLES IN THE MAY 10TH AMERICAN WEEKLY Noted psychologist explains why people fall in love on sum mer vacations An article by Proffessor Laird in The Amer ican Weekly, the magazine dis tributed with next Sunday’s Washington Herald. * a * The Minister Who Turned Bandit.
