How many families will buy pri
vate airplanes after the war?.
If anyone knows the answer to
that question it should be the avia
tion experts in large airplane com
panies, in the government and in
aviation associations. But a review
e>f statements made by these au
thorities indicates that your guess
•or mine is apt to be just about as
accurate as theirs.
William Burden, assistant to the
secretary of commerce for air, ac
cording to a study of “Aviation
Predictions" published by Simonds
Accessories. Inc., predicts that
within five to ten years there will
be 450,000 privately owned planes
in this country, which is the high
among predictions. S. Paul John
ston, Washington representative of
the Curtiss - Wright corporation,
gives the conservative low estimate
of 20,000 planes. The National Re
sources Planning board estimates
35,000, while Charles L Stanton,
civil aeronautics administrator,
thinks there will be 300,000 private
planes in active service within four
years after the end of the war.
As for prices, the experts are a
little more in agreement. Prac
tically all those quoted expect pri
vate planes to be available \ in the
$1,000 to $3,000 price range. Com
menting on probable price reduc
tions, Andrew Kucher, director of
research of Bendix Aviation, said:
**Sn 1010, automobiles cost $1.52
per pound, whereas in 1040, the
price of a much better and more
complete auto was in the range of
35 to 00 cents per pound. As air
craft manufacture undergoes a sim
ilar evolution, its present cost of $3
to $5 per pound will inevitably come
down, and the all-round airplane
of the $10,000 to $15,000 class will
begin to approach the ideal cost
of $2,000 to $3,000."
SAFETY proof
The number of planes sold after
the war will depend almost entire
ly on the public demand. There
will certainly be little problem
about quantity production of all the
planes the people will buy with the
plane-producing facilities we now
have in this country.-
But the public demand will be
governed to a great extent by cost
and safety—and that still is a pro
duction problem. Costs will un
doubtedly come down rapidly and
all sorts of safety devices
have been invented which will
make private planes much safer
than they were before the war. Wil
liam Piper, president of the Piper
Aircraft corporation, one of the
leading manufacturers of private
planes, says: "The postwar private
plane will be practically fool proof,
but not darn fool proof." (
Perhaps we can never expect a
plane which is "dam fool’' proof;
W many people, who are now tim
id about venturing into the air, will
want to see a long demonstration
of safe flying before buying a fam
ily plane.
Although the perfection of the use
of the helicopter, according to the.
experts, will take some time, 1
imagine it will be the helicopter,
or something similar, which finally
will bring real popularity to pri
vate flying. I think most individu
als look tor the day when they can.
leant to fly in the way which W.
Lawrence LePage, president ef the
Ptatt-LePage aircraft company,
says they will be able to do with,
the helicopter. He says: "A novice
need only lift the machine a tew
inches off the ground at first, hover,
move around and land. As he
gains more confidence he will rise
further and fly forward, backward,
and sideways until he is accus
tomed to his controls, the feeling
of flying, and judgment in landing.**
EUROPE ...» a $100
Undoubtedly the biggest develop*,
ment immediately after the war 1
will be in commercial rather than
private flying. Plans are now in
the making for gigantic expansion
of the use of big passenger planes
and freight planes flying to all cor
ners of the world. In addition,
small planes and helicopters will be
operated to carry people short dis
tances—in many instances to re
place bus lines.
Again the experts are not entire
ly in agreement as to the rates
which will be charged immediately
after the war as well as ten years
after. Estimates of domestic pas
senger rates immediately after the
war vary from 7.5 cents per mile
to 4.5 cents per mile and predic
tions of rates ten years from now
range from 2.5 cents per mile to 5
cents per mile.
As for overseas travel, the ex
perts say the cost will be from
8 to 10 cents per mile right after,
the war and may go down to 5 cents
per mile within ten years.
Glenn L. Martin, president of the
Glenn L. Martin company, says his
company is already planning a 250,-
t)0B-pound commercial air vessel on
which passengers will be able to
make a round trip from New York
to London for $400.
A. N. Kemp, president of Amer
ican Airlines, is even more opti
mistic about low* rates. He says:*'
"In the not too distant future we
can expect rates which will pro
vide fares within the reach of all,
on planes cruising upwards of four
hundred miles an hour. This will
permit fares of approximately $25
from New York to Chicago, $75 ta
Los Angeles, $100 to Europe, $75
to Mexico City and $7 to Wash
ington."

Happy and grateful praise for
Retonga continue to pour in. A-
mong the latest to come forward
with his strong public endorse
ment of Retonga is Mr. Andrew J.
lowers, widely known County
employee residing at 311 Coving
ton St., Florence, S. C. Mr. Flow
ers is a Mason, a Baptist and Vet
eran of the Spanish-American
War. Speaking of Retnoga he
happily stated:
"Retonga is unquestionably the
finest medicine I have ever taken.
For several years I had such se
vere pains in the muscles all ov
er my body that I was unable to
walk up and down steps without
extreme suffering. I had very Ut
ile appetite, I could scarcely ever
get a good nights sleep and I f?lt
nervous and miserable practical
ly all the time. Sluggish elimina
tion also gave me considerable
trouble. I tried treatments and
medicines for years without find
ing much relief.
"Retonga gave me grand relief.
I have a splendid appetite, I sleep
MR. ANDREW J. FLOWERS
lots better, and best of all, those
severe pains in my muscles are so
reUeved that I am now able to
move around freely. Even the
sluggish elimination is relieved. I
feel worlds better generally. Re
tonga is fine."
Retonga is intended to reUeve-
distress due to Vitamin B-l defi-
- icy. constipation, insufficient
flow of digestive juices in the
stomach, and loss of appetite. Ac
cept no substitute. Retonga may
be obtained at Peoples Drug Store.
