P. Johnson, Funeral Director. FAA Rushing Safety Plans OKLAHOMA CITY (J! Faculty and students at the Federal Aviation Agency's aeronautical center are fighting time to preserve safety on our shrinking airways. By the end of this the FFA's Academy for Air Safety will graduate some 5,800 students schooled in traffic control and aircraft inspection. Next year a larger group will pass through this academy on a mushrooming 'campus flush against Oklahoma City's Municipal.

Every Monday a new crop of students checks in for one of the courses lasting 14 weeks. But they can't come fast enough for FAA officials. Jet-paced passengers advances whistling that have coast to coasted at 500 mph, and air-minded consumers creating a small boom in light pJanc sales, have intensified the FAA mission. The FAA, which has displaced the Civil Aeronautics Authority, is charged with keeping our aircraft flying safely so that the most is made of airspace with a minimum of risk. "It's the time it takes us to train safety personnel against the speed of aircraft development," It's an FAA boast, still valid in age, that there has never been an air collision between two planes under active FAA or CAA control.

Very high frequency radio is still the basic tool for control of fast, high flying, airliners. For lighter, slower, craft, the FAA maintains low frequency radio signals to put the pilot on the beam between destinations. The radio signals streaming from hundreds of FAA stations afford flying farmer and jet pilot alike a quick means of determining their position at any time and'almost any place in the country. A fleet of Oklahoma City-based flying electronic laboratories maintains a constant check on the accuracy of signals. Under FAA control, mandatory for all above 24,000 feet and in bad weather, the pilot files MISS MINNIE TAYLOR Miss Minnie Taylor, of 1079 West Fayde died last evening at 8:30 o'clock.

Miss Taylor was a former resident of McKenney; member of Big Bethel Baptist Church, but for many years had resided in Baltimore. Surviving are: two sisters: Mrs. Bettie T. Petts and Miss Alberta Taylor, both of Elizabeth, N. cousin, Ciscero Bland, of McKenney.

Funeral services will be conducted tomorrow afternoon from the Morning Star Baptist Church, Baltimore. Interment will be held in the Big Bethel Baptist Church Cemetery, McKenney, Sunday at 4 p. m. H. P.
