N. gracefully as hawks above the rolling hills, delicately wrought gliders have set new American marks for the sailors of the skies to shoot at next year. The remarkable progress made by- American gliders, both pilots and ma- chnies, is shown by their performances at the Ninth Annual Soaring Contest here.

Richard C. Dupont of Wilmington broke his own American recorc by reaching Ii700 feet. Lieut. Robert M. Stanley, while he failed to set a new distance record due to ihe technicality thai he just missed beating last year's record by the required 5 per cent, soared 225 miles Elmira to Washington.

D. C. Peter Diedcl, the great German sail- laner, duplicated Stanley's distance cat, and rose to a height of 8000 feet, he is not eligible for the Amerian record. The fact that motorlcs gliders, ris- ng from a low 800-foot hill, have be- able to rise a mile and a half the air, or travel hundreds of miles land at an announced destination, soaring sharply into the fore- of aviation news. Improved ships artd increased skill ind knowledge on the part of pilots ire taking the sailplane out of the top class and making it a real adjunct of iviation.

Falling, But Rising The art of sailplaning might be called the art of delayed descent. A sailplane is constantly falling, even when it is rising. If that sounds contradictory, think of il this way. Gravity pulls downward anything launched into the air. A plane is so designed that its wings, by resistance to the air, allow it to descend slowly, or glide downward, just as you sec an ordinary airplane do when its motor is shut off.

But the glider is so lightly built and delicately designed, that its "sinking velocity" is very low. That is, it glides downward more slowly than a heavy airplane. The very slightest descent will serve to keep it gliding Say that, gliding slowly downward. a glider meets an air current in which Ihe whole of Ihe surrounding air is rising Iwice as fast as its own rale of descent. While the glider is theoretically "descending" with regard lo the air in immediate contact with the wings, "descending" enough to keep it afloat, the whole air current is rising, so that it is.

Huskey Presides Over State Farm Meeting Tuesday Approximately 3,000 farm leaders and visitors from all parts of Arkansas gathered at the Fruit Truck Branch Experiment Station Tuesday where they heard an address by Edward A. O'Neal, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation. Senator Hattie Caraway, not listed on the official program, made a surprise visit to Hope Tuesday and also attended the farm bureau rally at the station farm where H. H. Huskey, president of the local farm bureau, presided over the meeting.

Mr. O'Neal, Senator Caraway, and other state officials of the Arkansas Farm Bureau Federation, were guests I Tuesday noon at a joint luncheon meeting of the Hope Kiwanis and Roary clubs at Hotel Barlow. O'Neal's Speech Declaring that the farmers of Ainer- ca now have a program that offers bigger possibilties than anything previously developed to control surpluses so that prices may be stabilized, and that, with necessary amendment, it can and will be made to work, Edward A. O'Neal, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, said at the outset his speech. The occasion was the big statewide farm bureau rally honoring Hempstead county for having the largest county farm bureau membership in the state, this county unit having more than 1,500 members on its rolls, with more joining daily.

Fears Price-Fixing President O'Neal pointed out Uial it is certain that if the farmers let the present agricultural program fail, bills' providing for price-fixing by the government will be introduced and strongly supported by many members congress. "I can't believe that fanners want that sort of tiling. It would mean regimentation with a vengeance. The present program gives us the opportunity to keep order in our own house through voluntary co-operation, and we can stabilize prices through cooperation." President O'Neal asserted that "the present program puts a floor under and ceiling over our prices, and we are willing that other groups should have the same thing, so long as they are based on the parity principle. The program is not perfect, but if the farmers will use it, it will be the best program we have ever had." He urged farmers to stand behind the principle of the present bill.

He added that he had been over great areas of ibis country in the past few weeks, and from what he had seen and heard wa.s confident that the fanners arc co-operating. To Ask Amendments "We will go back to congress next year to ask for some necessary amendments, and in the end we wil) have the farmers of this country united behind one big national farm program. "We will carry on the battle against monopoly prices in industry and labor, and eventually, if farmers will only bad; up their farm organization, we will win many battles that tdoay not be won because our organized strength still leaves something to be desired. "It is up to you people here, ami to people like you in every farm community in the land. help build the organization tn the -strength necessary to achieve our final giisl, which is 1be attainment of f.iii snci.U conditions for farmers.

"It i.s necessary foi the welt.ur of the nation that this br because a inasspnxiuclion industrial economy can be maniuunot'l only stabilized buying is maintained for ihe great masses of the people. "Only through increased pioducuon and use of goons the national wealth be increased.
