Mr.. Clawson said have been inter-

years. The Chicago meet last year
stimulated my enthusiasm and in my
estimation did more for Chicago in the
way of advertising than anything since
the worlds fair. 1 am naturally inter-
ested in the development of New Eng
land, and I believe aviation should be
encouraged. The people of New Eng
land have been deprived of seeing any
real good flying for the reason that
aviators wanted the town treasury for
their services. so I just made up my
mind that l would gather the best ma
terial that money could buy, hire the best
aviators and then show the world what
Yankee perseverance will do toward the
development of the sport in this
country. Our aviators are going to fly
all over New England; II a town can
not afford to pay to see us fly, then we
will fly for charity, but am determined
at any rate to put my city and state
on the map as an aviation centre. "
