Vultee Aircraft To Build 'Flying Jeep' After War ST. LOUIS, MO.—A new Stinson Airplane, a family cruiser called the Voyager 125, was demonstrated to the Aviation Transportation and Manufacturers Association today. First postwar light plane designed by Stinson Division of Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation, it combines the safety and reliability of the prewar Stinson Voyager 105 with the ruggedness and utility of the company's "Flying Jeep" used by the Army as an observation, utility, and ambulance plane. Powered by a 125 horsepower Lycoming engine, the new Voyager cruises at 112 miles per hour and has a range of 470 miles. It can carry in addition to the pilot, two passengers, with ample space for baggage provided beneath the back seat. Safety in performance and operation is stressed throughout. "Comfort and ample space for both passengers and baggage are the primary considerations in the interior design," James C. Welsch, PVT. C. L. HORTON IS PRISONER OF WAR Pvt. C. L. Horton, son of Mrs. William C. Horton and Mrs. William C. Horton, son of Mrs. William C. Horton, one of 51 soldiers reported to prisoners of the Germans, cording to a release issued by the War Department on Wednesday. State Manpower Director Reports Less Absenteeism INGLEWOOD, Cal.-H. R. Hawkins, California State Manpower Director, has announced that during the month of November workers reduced the volume of absenteeism in the Los Angeles area. The State Director said that the War Manpower Commission so had received reports from plants which employ more than 400,000 workers. "Of the 40 plants, 22 plants reported increase in attendance; several cases this increase ranges up to three per cent above the October figure. Only nine establishments reported increases in an absenteeism and seven of these increases were less than one half of one percent. Other concerns showed no changes in attendance from October," Hawkins said in his summary. Full reports on attendance will be available shortly after the middle of the month. This early trend however points to a favorable turn in the absenteeism factor particularly since November figures received so far were better generally despite heavy rains and a subsequent wave of colds," Hawkins concluded. Don't Let Them Down By WALT DISNEY As I write this, urging Americans to support the Sixth War Loan, I am flushed with new of our great sea victory over the Nips in the waters adjacent to the Philippines. Nothing is dead or than yesterday's news hour- Former Anaheim Soldier Now In Service In England AN AIR SERVICE COMMAND DEPOT IN ENGLAND — When new battle tactics dictate last-minute changes in combat airplanes, Cpr. Ernest E. Small, of 206 E. La Palma, Anaheim, Calif., steps up his record-shattering output. Bomb racks for fighter planes, armor plate for bombers, parts for propaganda bombs—these are only a few of the high-priority projects he and his fellow soldier-technicians help build in the metal manufacturing section of this Air Service Command modification depot. He and his buddies were recently commended by their commanding general for their high speed production which helped spur the aerial offensive against Western Europe. He is the son of Mr. Egnest Small of Gilbert, Arizona. Before he joined the army in Feb., 1944, he was employed as a sheet metal worker by the Vultee AC Corp. His brother, Clifford L. Small, S2/c, also is the service. WINS HIGH AWARD S/Sgt. Harold V. Yorba, whose home in on route 3, Anaheim, has been awarded an Oak Leaf Cluster to the Distinguished Flying Cross, according to an announcement released recently from the Seventh Army Air Forces. He is an armored gunner on a B-25 and has been on active overseas duty for more than a year. Powered by a 125 horsepower Lycoming engine, the new Voyager cruises at 112 miles per hour and has a range of 470 miles. It can carry in addition to the pilot, two passengers, with ample space for baggage provided beneath the back seat. Safety in performance and operation is stressed throughout. “Comfort and ample space for both passengers and baggage are the primary considerations in the interior design,” James C. Welsch, Sales Director for Stinson, explained. “The Voyager 105 is regarded as one of the safest planes ever produced in quantities above 1,000.” Welsch declared. “During the war, it has been the work horse of the Civil Air Patrol and has carried out approximately 65 per cent of that organization’s operation.” “Production of the new Voyager 125 can begin as soon as war time restrictions are removed, and planes will be coming off assembly lines 90 days later,” Welsch asserted. The new plane is latest of a line started in 1926 by Edward A. Stinson, one of aviation’s pioneers. MOTORISTS URGED TO USE EXTRA CAUTION Anticipating unusually heavy traffic during the next two weeks, Highway Patrol Chief E. Raymond Cato urged Anaheim motorists to be extremely careful and observe all safety precautions during the holiday period to avoid accidents. Both Christmas and New Year fall on Monday, he said, which will cause large numbers of local motorists to plan long holiday trips. New gasoline rations will be released December 22 and the duck hunting season still will be open. As I write this, urging Americans to support the Sixth War Loan, I am flushed with new of our great sea victory over the Nips in the waters adjacent to the Philippines. Nothing is deader than yesterday's news, however, and by the time this article reaches print this victory will be little more than a memory. Other victories and costly ones costly in blood and money, must be won before we even approach the shores of Japan. Don't be misled by stories that the Pacific war is near an end. You were misled by stories that mid-October would see victory for the Allies in Europe. Even if the war in both spheres were to end tomorrow there are many reasons why this Sixth War Loan must have your full support. Money will be needed to take care of our disabled veterans. Million will be needed to help the boys get started in civilian life. And sell ishly, by purchasing bonds you help prevent ruinous inflation while at the same time putting away a little money for uncertain post-war days. But war isn't going to end to morrow. Our boys still need Sixth War Loan. Let make 1945 the winning year. Anaheim Gazette, since 1870.
