HYANNIS AIRPORT
(Barnstable Municipal Airport)
Thirty-eight visiting aircraft this
pnst weekend kept tho line boys on
the jump and in addition most of
I them wanted gasoline, l^ist week
Jerry Delay (Major Delay when lu
uniform) was pilot of an Army 0-47
commercial DC-3 Douglas on a se-
cret mission with military medics.
They were flown to Edgewood
Field, Maryland, then to Selfrldge
Field , Detroit , Michigan , then buck
to Logan Airport , East Boston. The
entire fligh t was made In had
weather and instrument clearances
were required by the Air Traffic
Control. After this job was com-
pleted Jerry climbed aboard the
twin-engine Beeilicrnft which he
flies for the Arnold Hoffman Chem-
ical Company and visited about
every city of importance this side
of the Mississippi RiVer from New
Orleans to Chicago. One of his
trips was a mercy flight when he
flew a friend of one of the company
executives from Providence to j
Hamilton, Ontario , Canada. On this
particular flight he departed from
Hyannis at 7:45 p.m., the 25th, and
was back landing at Hyannis at
5:15 a.m. the morning of the 26th
completing the trip in 9% hours.
The Compass Locator recentl y In-
stalled by Northeast Airlines to im-
prove their service to the Cape
proved its value last Tuesday when I
the celling was low and visibility
poor. Fligh t 72 departed fro m Nan-
tucket homed and let down on the
locator , broke out of the overcast
east of the airport , continued around
the field to runway 33, and landed,
discharged several passengers
bound for the Cape, then took off
for Boston. Bill Kelley , who has
been working at the airport since
he was 16 with time out to help
win World War II, has gone in
business for himself , operating a
gas station on Barnstable Road, ;
Hyannis. His loss will be felt by ;
the airport personnel as well as
the hundreds of visitors to tile air-
port each year.
The much needed seal coating ot
the northeast-southwest runway
will be started about May 16th by
Thomas Construction Company of
Middleboro. With the fencing com-
pleted around the administration
building and parking areas the
lack of landscaping was very no-
ticeable. Shrubs are now being
planted on all sides of the building
and in a few weeks we should have
a new look.
Our new lineman, Charles Oinn,
is from Georgia, where he was
born and raised. He does have a
decided southern drawl, which sur-
prises visiting airmen to the ex-
tent of their wondering if they
have made a mistake in navigation
and landed fit the southland in-
stead ot Cape Cod.
Cape Air Service's lluss Rucker
and George Parmenter flew to New
Haven this week where they picked
up the twin-engine Cessna which
is the second ship In which they
. have had installed the Automatic
Direction Finder, the function of
which was explained in our last
news column.
The Ercoupe, a two control alr-
ptane, recently acquired by CAS for
use in the GI training program , is
the most popular one on the line
¦
with about all the students now
checked out In it.
Hank Moore 's Navion is having
a thorough going over by George
Blanchanl's mechanics in prepara-
tion for its annual relicensing by
CAA. The short pleasure flights
over the Cape are becoming popu-
lar again according to Allard An-
thony, pilot of Cape Air Service.
Last Sunday 18 passengers were
taken on local flights.
The Quousett Hut used by the
local operator Cape Air Service
was sola at public auction to the
Win. Jones Construction Company
of 'Barnstable last week and after
removal a prefabricated building
will be put in Its place where CAS
will set up their permanent office
and student lounge. The Cape Cod
Flying Club members were out in
full force last Sunday to take dem-
onstrations In the new four place
Piper Clipper. It may be that tho
club is planning to trade in their
Cessna 140 which is only two place
or pilot and one passenger.
The Hyannis Flying Club's PT-
18 has been repainted by the mem-
bers ana will soon be seen cutting
up the skies over the Cape with Us
black fuselage and cream color
wings.

Clarence Post of Hyannis, with Mr.
Borgeson , Chief of the Airport

years to put the airport and facili-
ties up to the standard required to
handle the traffic ot the near Euturo.

CAPE COD AIRPORT
Dr. Ivan G. Hartwell of Sand-
wich has brought his Ercoupe back
from Vermont , where it has been
in storage for the winter. Dr. Hart-
well's flying activities for the win-
ter have been rather curtailed with
his ship away, but he is planning to
get into the groove as usual, flying
in his spare time as often as po-
ible. Robert Childs of Centerville
is the third veteran tq be approved
for flight training at the Cape Cod
Airport under the new ruling. Bob
started his flying career with a
half hour of dual with Flight In-
structor Raymond G. Pendergast
this week. First thing on the list
to accomplish will be to solo, fol-
lowed by a Private Pilot Certifi-
cate. With this goal in mind Bob j
will be at the Held evenings and
weekends building up his time.
Mr. Frank Holbrook of the C. W.
Riva Co. In Osterville was flown to
Nantucket first thing Monday morn-
ing where he is working on a con-
struction job. Mr. Holbrook will re-
turn at the end of this week.
The 1940 Cessna 140 from Prov-
incetown has been at the field for
two days for a 100 hour check by
Provincotown Mechanic Charles
Fuller. The newly acquired Fair-
child PT-19 was also into the Held
for a check up and a cleaning.
"Rapid Richard" Perry ot Po-
cassett has been logging time in
the Cub seaplane during the week
at a very rapid rate. Richard is
one of the most enthusiastic sea-
plane pilots at the field, He found
a few spare minutes the other day
to fly to a secluded lake in the vi-
cinity of Plymouth and do some
fishing, carrying his bait, fish pole
and anchor in the seaplane. Unfor-
tunately he has the usual "Fisher-
man's Luck."
Ken Sears of Hyannis haa donned
his wingB again after not flying
during the winter. Although he has
been a passenger during the snow
period , he hasn't had tbe time to
continue his flying hobby. With
the coming of daylight saving time,
however, he has started again, with
a little dual in the popular Lus-
comhe.
When the fog set in the other
night a Piper Vagabond from New
Bedford was forced to land at the
Cape Cod Airport , not being able
to continue the trip because of the j
¦weather conditions -which extended '
well inland. The 8hlp was picked
up Wednesday, and flown back to
New Bedford.

VFW Meeting May 9
In discussing the new rate
schedules which, in accordance
with the Department order became
effective May 1, a Company official
stated that generally speaking, the
present domestic customers using
gas the year round will experience
no appreciable increase in the
price of gas used tor domestic pur-
poses. The seasonal customer, both
domestic and commercial, will be
exposed to an Increase in price.
The new rates will result in an
average increase of less than 11%.
Subsequent to a year-old requeBt
for Increased revenues, the Depart-
ment of Public Utilities, under the
date ot April 27, 1949, ordered the
Buzzards Bay Gas Company to file
new rate schedules which the De-
partmental order states will pro-
vide the Company with approxi-
mately $47 ,000 net increase in
revenues.
In its original filing, the Com-
pany requested the privilege ot
continuing its practice of allowing
discounts for prompt payment of
bills and , in fact, asked the priv-
ilege to increase above previous
levels this discount. The practice
of allowing discounts is, however,
contrary to the Department's policy
as expressed in their order and this
request of the Company was denied
by the Department
The Buzzards Bay Gas Company
supplies pipeline gas to more than
7,000 customers through its more
than 200 miles ot underground dis-
tribution syBtem , extending from
Wareham to Chatham.
The Commission in its rather
lengthy order points out that with
the rates schedule now in effect,
the net earnings ot the Company
will be only 3%% on the Com-
pany's common stock,
