Work has already started on the strip, which is located about a mile west of Nicks dub on the Dragerton highway. This work, so far by volunteer workers, consists of laying out the landing strip, and with some grading and clearing. The Dragerton air strip is primarily an emergency strip, providing a quick access to anyone desiring to be taken from the area on account of accident or sickness, and also to allow landing of planes for other emergency purposes. The strip will be of regulation length required of a Class 1 air landing strip, and efforts are now being made to secure some state and federal aid. Last weeks meeting was attended by E. L.

This extension of time has become necessary owing to the large number of residents that have left East Carbon during the work stoppage. Many have indicated their intention of giving a subscription to our contestants, but now cannot be contacted. The contest has attracted much attention. Present plans call for the air trip to Salt Lake City via Monarch Air Lines will be on May 7th, or if a later date is more acceptable to the winners it can be so arranged. This means that the winners will take the Monarch Air Lines plane at the Carbon County Airport on Friday afternoon, and will be a guest at the Utah Hotel from Friday evening to Sunday. Returning they will leave Salt Lake City at 1:25 p. m. Sunday afternoon, and arrive in Price at 2:32 p.. m. During their stay in Salt Lake City they will be given a chance to attend a show of their choice each evening. All meals will be paid for during the stay. The grand prize is certainly worth trying for, and should mean an effort on the part of the winner. The first place winner will receive a $50.00 spring outfit in addition to the air trip. The second place winner gets the air trip and all expense stay in Salt Lake City over the week end. With the extension of the time limit on the contest, all workers should make the effort to get their subscriptions in as early as possible. We have been publishing the names of contestants, but it is known that many. of these have subscription orders in reserve. We would- appreciate now that such subscriptions be turned in, so we can get the paper to the subscribers, and at the same time determine the needs of our paper supply for the future. - I r |
