MANY TOOK FLIGHT
TO CLOUDS YESTERDAY

The army planes which visited
Lakeland from Carlstrom Field gave
spectators some thrills by doing some
fancy flying yesterday afternoon. This
KIND OF flying is confined to army
planes, and would not be the proper
tning for commercial flyers, where
SAFETY First" must be the motto.
Inc imp, with her able pilots. could
40 all those stunts, but the local fiy-
crs do not wish to take risks with
passengers, but are properly conserv-
ative.
TWO of the visiting planes left for
nome about four o'clock. Some trou-
Die developed with the third plane
and the pilot, Sergeant D. G. Davis,
remained overnight to await the ar
rival OF new parts for his plane. This
morning Lieut.. James d. Corkvillc.
Will Sergeant E. B. Burleson as mt
chanician, arrived and helped Ser
geant Davis repair his plane, ana
ooth planes started for Carlstrom
shortly after the lunch hour.
1t was planned to have the Imp es-
cort the army planes to the edge CT
have one of the army planes take the
town in a close diamond shape for
mation, then at given signal tc
break away from the formation and
lead, but owing to one of the army
planes developing this trouble and the
Imp being so busy carrying passen-
gers to Cloudland, this plan had to b,
discontinued.
Those visiting Cloudland over the
week end in the Imp are: Mr.. C. O.
Wheeler, T. Stanley Filbert, W. H.
CIT. Sid McCollin, L. Dixon. Mrs
Fred Sloan and son, Mrs. O. M.
Eaton, Mr.. H. F.. Pritchett.

LOCAL EPISCOPAL CHURCH
OvERSUBSCR|BES CAMPAIGN
QUOTA BY 81 PER CENT

The every member canvass of the
Episcopal church which was made
yesterday afternoon marks the climax
of the nationwide campaign for wider
service.
The campaign was not for money
alone but was for workers. The re.
turns of the canvass contained man!
service cards signed by members OF
the parish, who are volunteering their
service in specific lines of work for
Christs Kingdom. Some have volun-
teered for Sunday school work, others
for social service, and still others for
any work that may be assigned
From money standpoint, the can
vass returns show an increase of over
$500 per year for the local parish
and an increase of over $1,000 for the
general work of the church. The
amount subscribed for the general
work of the church is fifty-two per
cent. in excess of the quota assigned
the Lakeland church by the nation
wide campaign committee. The re-
turns are not all in and will not be
in for perhaps week. Several mem
bers of the parish are out of town,
others are i'll and could not be seen
yesterday, While the amount asked
for local needs has not yet been sub
scribed, there is reason to believe thai
this amount will be within the week
A remarkable feature of the can
vass yesterday, and one which doubt
less establishes a precedent for Lake
land, was the answer to the roll call
Of the canvassers by every individual
who was expected to work. The
number reporting was thirty-five.

available something like one hundred
bedrooms and two hundred rooms for

citizens are invited to list anything
they have, not already listed, and for
which no charge is made.

Why continue to pay pound mas

when people could chase them out Of
their gardens and yards, and leave
everything open to the depredations
Of the cattle at nights?

the pound master or his deputy to be
at his Office or home both day and
night ready to receive telephone calls
