The Rev. H. POST moves to Idaho. The Rev. Harry T. POST, Episcopal clergyman of Spokane for several years, is being transferred to Kellogg, ID, to take charge of the Kellogg-Wallace field. The Rev. Mr. Post was formerly in charge of St. David's and Epiphany missions in Spokane. For more than a year he has had charge of St. Paul's misson at Cheney, and has been with the FERA service. His family will move to Kellogg. 2. Big front page photograph of Frank HAWKS, famous speed flyer who came to Spokane yesterday afternoon in the interest of the Will ROGERS memorial fund and, because he arrived and hour and a half ahead of scheduled time, there was no reception committee to greet him. He didn't mind at all, for he was "half frozen" from flying through "soupy," cold weathre from Missoula, MT, so he headed for the restaurant in the Administration building at FELTS field for a cup of hot coffe. Between sips from the steaming cup he lit up his corn cob pipe. "Brrh," he shivered, " as he released the colar of his heavy flying clothes and took off his gloves, "That was a cold trip across Montana. I didn't remain in the air more than one and one-half hours at a time if it was possible, it was too darn cold...too cool for comfort in a fast open ship." It was his first visit to Spokane since 1928. Although Spokane was experiencing record cold temperature, he seemed like a summer resort in compa! rison to MT, said Captain Frank HAWKS, noted flyer and holder of the transcontinental nonstop record. He had left North Beach airport, NYC, October 18, for 40 days of flying which will take him over every state in the union, visiting 125 cities and traveling 25,000 miles. He rode into FELTS field at high speed and didn't attempt to throttle down much when he landed, but side-slipped into a beautiful but most difficult maneuver for a perfect three-point landing. A low morning temperature of 14 below was recorded at the home of J. B. FELTS in Opportunity. 3. Photo -- Rewarded for saving a pigeon: Thomas A.
