The Tigers, meanwhile, were without lead- ing scorer Hodges Bailey, who missed the game with a sprained wrist. “We played very hard again tonight. They worked really hard defensively, but we didn’t play very smart,” Centralia coach Kyle Donahue said. “We just kind of kicked the ball around at times. They had a little press on us that we didn’t handle very well. We didn’t hit the open guy and just made soft passes. We just didn’t play very smart tonight.” Centralia committed 19 turnovers in the loss. Pertzborn, though, was a bright spot. “Layne just shot very well, and finished around the hoop very well,” Donahue said of the senior forward, who went 13 of 17 from the field. “They went zone on us a little bit in the sec- ond half and he just did a great job of catching the ball in the high post and finishing.” Black Hills led 23-21 at half- time and stretched that into a 7-point advantage going into the fourth quarter.

By Peter Smith Pittsburgh Post-Gazette PITTSBURGH — The Sun- day after the presidential elec- tion, Pastor Rock Dillaman kept his ears tuned to the conversa- tions among members at the church he leads. He knew, both from his own observations and general trends, that in a racially diverse congre- gation, there would be plenty of both Donald Trump support- ers and Hillary Clinton backers, and he could only wonder at the fallout after the bitterest cam- paign in recent memory. “What I found that first Sunday was people loving one another, laughing with one an- other,” said Dillaman, pastor of Allegheny Center Alliance Church, a North Side congrega- tion with large numbers of both white and black worshipers. Many religious congrega- tions may be almost entirely red or blue in their politics, depend- ing on their racial, theologi- cal, geographic and economic makeup.

This leads to the development of a new generation of passenger aircraft and later to the estab- lishment of United Air Lines. Regular U.S. Air Mail ser- vice was inaugurated on May 15, 1919, and government- owned aircraft transported the mail. Following the pas- sage of the Kelly Act in 1925, the U.S. Post Office began contracting with private companies to carry mail on designated routes. Growing numbers of passengers went along for the ride. These cov- eted franchises created the basis for the airline industry in much the same way that land grants and mail con- tracts had built the nation’s railway system. When bids were requested for the Chicago-San Francis- co route (“CAM-18”) on Nov. 25, 1926, veteran mail pilot Eddie Hubbard (1889-1928) recognized that Boeing had the perfect aircraft for the job, the Model 40 high-speed biplane. He persuaded a skep- tical William E. Boeing (1881- 1956) to bid on the route. The company won with the bar- gain rate of $1.50 per pound of mail. The new Boeing Air Transport Corp. (also called Boeing System) inaugurated service with two-dozen Mod- el 40As on July 1, 1927. Soon after, Boeing acquired Vern Gorst’s Pacific Air Transport and began to form United Air Lines. Boeing introduced larger Model 80 trimotor air- planes, the first “stewardesses” (originally registered nurses), and the revolutionary Model 247 airliner over the next

The fawn, named Bambi, was around until September when the Footes moved to Chehalis. “He never was wild,” said Helen, who and other holdings in 1934. also said the fawn slept in the barn until morning when she then went into the house to be fed. An embittered William E. Boeing sold his stock and left the aviation industry that he had helped to create.
