The one lies in bags, the other in content: which wealth can never ' give.-—William Penn. t i Cotult I CAPE COD AIRPORT | The past week at the Cape Cod Airport has been one of the busiest ones s 'lnce Labor Day. Student ac- tivity has been at its peak, with more accomplishments on record than for any other week since the summer season, with its long days of good flying weather. John Qow- ard of Buzzards Bay started the ball rolling by taking the Piper Cub around the field solo for the first time under the watchful eyes ' of instructor Angus Perry. John 1 did a very good job ot it, too. He ' has progressed rapidly, flying twice 1 a day on some of the better days to build up his solo time. It won'! 1 be long now before he Is readj » for cross country flying, and thet comes the Private Pilot Certificate Seaplane Flying got Its share o! t attention, too. With only a montl left in which to get checked oil' a and get their ratings, many ot thi Commercial Pilot Students are log i- ging the necessary time for fligh e testing. Bill Bennett of Province • town became the first to take tll i e ship around the lake solo, wltl Dr. James Leach of Hyannis a ver; d close second.

Van Arsdale flew his BT-13 Into the field Sunday with a load of Provlncetown students aboard who wished to fly during the day. Mr. Van Arsdale occupied his time at- tending to the various problems that confront each Individual stu- dent during his course of training. After a well spent day tor both Mr. Van Arsdale and the students, they took off for Provlncetown just prior to dark. Several ot the stu- dents logged four or five hours of flying time for the day. George Lapnam ot Marstons Mills started his checkout In the Taylorcraft with Instructor Angus Perry. "Buddy" was amazed at the ease with which the ship handles, hut had no trouble with it after flying the Cessna 140 that was on the field a year or so ago. Charter flying had its place dur- i Ing the week, as well aB student , flying. When the M. F. Roach Co. ; of Eastham need a pulley badly, a r call to Marstons Mills brought th« i needed item from East Boston tc Eastham in just one hour and t I half.

Barnstable. Also flying from Prov a Incetown to Boston were Mrs. Johi i C.
