Woman with Vision
Makes Fortune
In Real Estate
SEATTLE, .T — A Seattle wo
man found a fortune through the
picture window of her home.
The window in Mrs. Delia Fro
lich Whatmore’s home commands
a sweeping view across Lake
Washington and of a large hill on
the east shore. She has just sold
384 acres there for $1,430,000. It
cost her less than $3,000.
Back in 1937, Mrs. Whatmore
recalled today, one of her three
sons, now Dr. Joseph H. What
more, Seattle physician and sur
geon, pointed through the win
dow. He said it .would be a fine
place for a summer home.
“Sure I told Him, If you want
a country place, I’ll go over
there with you,” she said. “That
was before the bridge and we
drove around the south end of
the lake.” • »
They spent the day tramping
about. She offered to buy 20 acres
from the Weyerhauser Timber Co.
“The man said, ‘Why not 160
acres,’ He made us a good price,
$1,500. I took the 160.”
Later she bought 200 adjoining
acres of tax-title land for $970.
The remainder cost about $500.
They built a log cabin for week
end use.
Then came a flqating bridge
across the lake. The area was
opened to real estate development
and in recent years there has
been large population growth.
Mrs. Whatmore came to Seattle
in 1905 and operated a women’s j
ready-to-wear shop at first. She i
began dabbling in real estate. Her .
husband, Harry J. Whatmore, died
in 1941.
“I think I’m a pretty good
judge at picking spots,” she said,
explaining her success.
The 384 acres will become part
of a 1,000-acre, 120 million dollar
residential and commercial de
velopment.
KNOW YOUR CIVIL AIR PATROL
Released by F. S. RHODE, C.A.P. Commander

NOTE: This is the third in a
series to acquaint readers with the
missions and accomplishments of
the Civil Air Patrol.
CAP Mission: Medical Evacua
tion and Disaster Relief.
Time: A late, overcast winter
evening.
Place: A Civil Air Patrol Head
quarters.
Scene: A telephone call is re
ceived from the nearest HAA sta
tion reporting, “We have a bush
plane down at Ruby with engine
trouble — one passenger, an ex
pectant mother, ill with combina
tion pneumonia and measles.
Temperature is now 50 below
zero. No facilities in village for
proper care. Can you help?
Thirty minutes later a light,
single engine aircraft is in the air
headed for a blacked out landing
sttip at the remote Alaskan vil
lage. A night landing without aid
of any lights, bush pilot and pa
tient picked up and the flight con
tinued to the Tanana Hospital.
Medical reports later indicated a
delay until morning would prob
ably have ben fatal for the patient.
In a similar scene, another small
plane lands on the Allakaket strip
in a heavy snowstorm to pick up
an appendicitis patient and return
to Tanana Hospital.
These are typical of the emer
gency medical evacuation flights
performed by volunteer pilots of
the Civil Air Patrol. In Alaska
alone over 100 such missions were
flown during 1958. Many went
unrecorded, as the press of time
and absence of fast, dependable
communications made it impos
sible to coordinate the flights with
Wing Headquarters.
In the wake of a lashing hurri
cane, a small Pennsylvania town
was inundated, cut off from the
outside world by wrecked eom
fnunications systems, washed out
rail and highway lines. Water sup
plies were broken off or contam
inated. Medical facilities were out
of service, power lines down. A
Civil Air Patrol communications
station established contact with
its network monitor station and
reported conditions and requested
assistance. Within 10 hours emer
gency hospital facilities were on
site, erected and in operation, in
cluding a laboratory and complete
electric generating equipment.
Within 24 hours minimum food
and necessities were on hand.
It is typical of the disaster re
lief missions being staged by the
Civil Air Patrol in all parts of
the country. No matter what the
situation and requirements, the
CAP responds, and together with
other agencies, provides the airlift
necessary to meet the need. Such
airlift undertakings are almost en
tirely accomplished with light
single engine aircraft. Size and
weight problems are solved by
disassembling units of equipment
to keep within the aircraft
limitations.
All evacuation and relief mis
sions are under the direction of
the CAP Operations Officer and
his designated Mission Comman
der. In major disasters, and all
out efforts, every Squadron meiti
ber is assigned to a critical sup
port role. Aid from outside sources
is coordinated by the CAP Mis
sion Commander.
In emergency and disaster mis
sions, as with search and rescue,
the effectiveness of the CAP
Squadron is dependent upon the
support .given the unit by the
people of the community; support
in terms of individual time, effort
and dollars.
