Here In Nome
Corey C. Brayton. sales engin
eer of the American Manganese
Steel Division, an-ived in town
recently on his annual trip. His
Company, serving Alaska from
their Oakland plant, are the mak
ers of dredge buckets and lips.
Mr. Brayton came across country
from Dawson and Fairbanks re
gion, and then went to Flat, Bear
Creek, Good News and over
here. He has just finished the
rounds of Seward Peninsula and
the dredge camps—Soomon, Hay
Cock, Council, Candle, Deering,
Fox Bar. Taylor and Teller. Af
ter spending a few more days at
Nome he will then head for
home.
Mr. Brayton finds each year
that there is more activity in
this section and everywhere else
in Alaska, and expressed again
how much the airplane has done
far the Territory. Mr. Brayton
makes aviation his hobby, and
in more than just an amateur
way to judge from the fallowing
clipping in the June 19th publica

Elderly Berkeleyan Wins
Instrument's Pilot’s Rating
Corey C. Brayton, 63, steel
company executive today became
the oldest person in the world,
as far as records show, to win a
pilot's instrument rating by pass
ing the Government’s blind fly
ing test.
Brayton, a Berkeley resident
and holder of a private pilot’s
license for the past three years,
achieved the unusual after study
with his son, Carey C. Brayton,
Jr., operator of an air service at
the Oakland Airport that bears
his name.
After long bookwork and prac
tiee—“it takes hours and hours
and isn’t any fun,’ the son said
—Brayton passed a test for third
class radio telephone operator,
passed a written test which in
cludes navigation, meteorology
and other technical subjects, and
then passed the flying test.
With an inspector of the Civil
Aeronautics Authority as a pas
senger, Brayton flew a plane
with the cockpit covered, depend

did maneuveurs to the satisfac

V^INCED HISTOR Y—-Above calm waters skims the Dixie
Clipper, which recently left U. S. shores on the first scheduled
commercial passenger flight of an American plane to Europe. The
Dixie Clipper is one of six 41-ton flying boats designed for trans
‘ oceanic service, two unnamed ships already flying the Pacific and
the Yankee and American Clippers crossing the Atlantic.

tro'ls to put the plane into what
are matter-of-faetly called “un
i usual situations.”
Brayton, with no view of his
surroundings to help him, had to
get out of the “unusual situa
tions.” And when this was done
and he was "lost” in vicinity of
the Oakland Airport, he had to
locate himself by means of radio
beam, orient the plane for land
i ing, and come down blind to 500
| feet over the airport, the theo
! retical minimum of an overcast.
He took the flying test Satur
day and yesterday received con
gratulations from his son. a
j lieutenant in the Marine Corps
1 Reserve, Scouting Squadron No.
8, at the Oakand Airport Naval
Reserve Base. Today he left by
plane for Alaska on his annual
trip north for the American Man
ganese Steel Division.
Brayton Jr., at the airport
since 1928, is an expert in blind
flying instruction. Thirty of the
men he has trained are in trans
port service in various parts of
the world.
The elder Brayton lives at 189
Hillcrest Road, Berkeley.

JAPANESE FLOUR BAGS
USED FOR CHINESE PANTS
MELBOURNE—Japan irmy not
know it, but for months she has
been helping to provide the Chin
ese with trousers. Many of Aus
tralia’s calico flour bags come
from Japan and when they are
filled some go to China. Emptied
they are made by the Chinese
into pants, and the fact that
"Best Australian" is stenciled
boldly across the seats is a min
or detail for the wearers. It is
estimated that a consignment for
Tientsin this month will clothe,
at least partially, 432,730 Chin
