THE BATT - AL '- h i Gavel Club TP A News Clinic To Have
Confederate Air Force
Restores, Flies Old Aircraft Student Speech
Formed To Aid Big Audience Participation
(By Associated Press)
Considering the fact that the
old World War II plane hadn't
been off the ground in nine years,
it really turned out to be a pretty
ho-hum trip.
No you won’t get any com
plaints from Vernon Thorp of
Oklahoma City, Lefty Gardner of
Brownwood and Connie Edwards
of Big Spring.
The three men, all colonels in
the Confederate Air Force, found
plenty of excitement in just fly
ing the Douglas A20 Havoc from
Boise, Idaho, to Brownwood.
The Confederate Air Force is
a group devoted to finding and
restoring elderly military planes.
Now that they have the craft
in Texas, they plan to overhaul
it before it joins the Confederate
Air Force’s collection of World
War II planes.
The three located the plane, be
lieved the only one of its kind still
in flying condition, at the Boise
airport, where it had been ground
ed for nine years since it was

After solving some problems
turned up in a test flight, they
left on the 1,400-mile trip to
Brownwood. While Edwards navi
gated from his plane, Gardner
and Thorpe took turns flying the
A20 on the seven-hour trip.
A few problems did develop.
Thorp and Gardner had to fly the
A20 as slow as it would go to
keep from outrunning Edwards’
Cessna 301.
Near Lubbock, the two planes
were separated for about 25
minutes until Edwards found the
A20.
The men also flew through a
cold front shortly after they left
Boise and were buffeted by winds
of 35 and 40 miles an hour.
But overall the men say the
flight was uneventful.
The A20 was built for a crew
of two or three, and Gardner
said it felt “unusual to fly the
plane alone. You feel pretty in
significant.”
A Gavel Club which will be
affiliated with Toastmaster Inter
national will be organized in the
near future, announced Don
Houston, Y Cabinet program
chairman of the YMCA.
Houston said the purpose of
the club will be to help students
improve their speaking ability
and self-confidence and learn
parliamentary procedure.
The organization will meet once
a week from 6-7:30 p.m. in the
new dining room of the Chicken
Shack on Highway 6. No definite
meeting date has been set. Each
meeting will consist of dinner and
two five-minute prepared speech
es. Everyone else will give one-
minute impromptu speeches.
Membership will be limited to
30 active members and 10 associ
ate members. Any student wish
ing to join may do so by leaving
his name and address at the desk
Of the YMCA. The dues will be
$2.00 initially with a $1.25 charge
for each meal.
The first meeting, to be held at
the YMCA, will be devoted to
drafting a constitution and by
laws and electing officers.

Lowest long distance rates begin at 8:00 p.m. week-days — and
that's when it seems everybody wants to call at the same time!
These lowest rates save you money, and certainly we want you to
take advantage of them. So, here are some points to help you get
the most from modern, low-cost long distance service:
• Lowest rates are for station to station calls only, and are in effect
ALL DAY SUNDAY as well as after 8:00 p.m. Monday through
Saturday.
• Lowest rates for person to person calls are in effect after 6:00 p.m.
Monday through Saturday and all day Sunday.
Lowest rates for station to station AND person to person calls
apply to towns within Texas that are 83 or more air miles away,
and to towns in other states that are 221 or more air miles away.
For example, you don't save money by waiting until 8:00 p.m.
to place station to station calls to Waco, Brenham, Huntsville or
other nearby towns because such towns are less than 83 air miles
away.
A major telephone expansion program is now underway in Bryan —
College Station. Room phones in A&M dormitories, Direct Distance
Dialing, and additional long distance circuits are a few of the projects
announced, that will offer you the very finest in telephone service.
