SWISS SKI PATROLS Douglas Davis I In Switzerland the men and dogs of the Swiss Ski Patrol cover Alpine Wastes to rescue avalanche and accident victims. In Davos, Switzerland, there are two ways to spot an avalanche. One way is to stand on the mountain slope when it occurs and watch the awesome spectacle of thousands of tons of snow tearing away from the face of the Alps. The other is to count the faces each night at the hotels and cafes of the famous ski resort. Should any skiers turn up missing at the nightly roll call, chances are they have been cut off, injured or buried alive by an avalanche. Once a skier is missing for more than twelve hours the Ski Patrol goes into action. Specially trained dogs and men go to the spot where the person was lastnseen. Their equipment. consists of ropes, probes, lanterns, medical supplies, food and blankets, all of which will be needed. Records show that about eight hundred people are trapped in aval- anches each year and about half of them are rescued by groups such as the Davos Ski Patrol. When word is received tha.t a person is missing, the men and dogs ap- proach the spot where the skier was last see11. The men are expert skiers and know how to handle themselves in any emergency. The dog roams through the avalanche and when he locates the spot where the victim is buried, he starts to dig. With the proding rods the patrolmen prod the snow to determine how far down the vi-ctim is buried. The victim is quickly uncovered and oxygen is administered at once. The victim is then wrapped in blankets, placed on a portable toboggan and removed to the resort. While working on an avalanche these men are in great peril because their movements are liable to start another one and they also would be buried beneath tons of snow and rock. -'ati-I-Hee THE ORNITHOTPTER Paul Rogers, XIB With all the improvements in aviation today, the thrilling stunts, tak- en by the early exhibitionists, have disappeared almost completely. Tfhe rea- son for this is that the barriers which existed then have been overcome. A flight for the experienced pilot today is dull and usually uneventful. We have reached a sticking point in aviation. At present, the fast- est speed attainable without crossing the sonic barrier has been achieved. Flight by means of a rotating wing has become an accepted means of trans- portation. But the most natural means of flying has hardly entered the pic- ture at all. Every time you see a bird in flight you are observing one of the most 'puzzling mysteries of controlled flight. 73
