here. was discussed in a meeting of the
board of directors of the Commercial
club today at noon. Samuel Wilson,
representing the American City bu-
reau, Phil Billiard. and Major A. NJ.
Fuller were the principal speakers
Captain Billiard expressed himself
from the standpoint of an aviator. He
regards the Shawnee golf course as an
ideal site for an aviation ground. He
declares that flying school would in
no way interfere with. or damage, the
links. He believes that it is only a
question of time before Kansas City
electric lines and new roads will be
built past the proposed location.
Major Fuller claims the aviation
corps is part of the signal corps.

place for Kansas to have one. 1t
