fire steamer matter will take steps tow
ard securing the proposed aviation
meet for the large Taylor field north
GARFIELD park. All of the club members
are enthusiastic over the plan and will
do all in their power both individually
and as a club to have the meet held
in the place mentioned. This meet will
be one of the greatest events ever held
in Topeka and will probably draw about
% 900 people to the North side if held
at the Taylor tract. 1t is the feeling
that such an occasion will do great
deal to bring the two sides of the river
together Gn sentiment and to do away
with the North Topeka vs. South
Topeka idea, and boost the Creator
Topeka" spirit.
