Show AIR FIELD WILL BE WIDENED OUT AND WORKED OVER LIONS CLUB HAS MUCH WORK AHEAD FOR AIR RACE DAY Work in fixing up the landing field for the international air races, which will be September 11th, will be started at once. The Milford Lions club has undertaken to attend to all details here before the race, at which time about fifty planes from Windsor, Wind-sor, Canada, will land here, their time will be taken, they will be serviced, ser-viced, and in thirty minutes resume their flight on the lap to Las Vegas. Los Angeles is the finishing point. Milford is one of the seventeen control con-trol points between the start and finish. L. G. Clay reminded members of the Lions club this week that the field will have to be widened considerably. con-siderably. The last obstacle to securing se-curing control of the land for a field has been removed. In addition to wideming,i parking places must be provided, to where the planes will taxi for servicing during their thirty-minute thirty-minute rest. At each end, there will be provided smooth square plots for landing. It will not be known until the planes arrive upon which end of the field they will land as the wind will determine it. In the smoothing out of the field, a bad hump will have to be removed, as the last plane here found a little difficulty due to it. |
