The bottle had been wait- ing until there was only one survivor of Walhalla’s “last man

Fayonsky's grandson, Jeff Grant, ‘said his grandfather jqvisited Todd before he died. nyoo, “He. was glad to see him before he - passed. on,” Grant id, “They kept in touch pretty " through the years. Pitchford, who bought the wine, began the club by choos- ing another member, who in turn chose a friend to join the group. And so it went, until the 18th was chosen.

Asked if he would recom- mend any new procedure other than that which resulted in the rescue of himself and his two passengers, pilot Albert Evers- field replied, “No, they got us out before dark”.

All .three had only light clothing and footwear. Tho feeling had been expressed they could not have made it through the night.

There were no serious in- juries. The pilot managed to lift

the nose of the aircraft and_

The greatest aid to locating the crash had been the aircraft's emergency locator transmitter,

Tire Spinning Can be Dangerous.

Spinning tires at high speeds. on ice, snow or mud is not only an ineffective way to free a stuck vehicle but it could be one of the most dangerous. The tires could explode, caus- ing bodily injury and in most cases inflicting considerable damuge to the vehicle.

In all cases, these explo- sions are on a drive wheel.

The tremendous centrifu- gal force produced by a rapidly spinning wheel may cause the components of the tire to

separate, resulting in a drama- tic release of air.

Tires would have to be rotating at revolutions equival- ent to 200 miles per hour for this to happen, a situation that could occur when one wheel on the driven axle of the vehicle is spinning freely on ice, snow or mud, while the other is not moving.

Acar can be freed from ice

or mud most effectively by-a ~

under the slipping tire, or by a push from another person. These methods are much more likely to work than spinning the tires at high speeds. aun Rapid spinning of a tire might loosen a trapped rock or stone from the tread of the tire, hurling it in the direction of a

passer-by or a person aiding the,

driver, causing serious injury or death. -

Therefore, take it easy— for the sake of your tires, your vehicle and other people.
