Just before completing our report
Of progress our business manager no.
titles us that contract has been closed
with the Big Sandy Aerial Navigation
Company for the use OF an airplane to
be here and make flights each day
during the week. beginning Monday.
August 20 and continuing up to in
Guiding Saturday. September 2. This
company will take up passengers de-
string 10 get birds eye view OF Lou
lisa and the surrounding country. This
feature will cost us considerable mon
ey but our manager says that there is
nothing too good for Home Coming
Week and this attraction has been
added.
Clean Up Emphasized.
We are notified by Judge Ed C.
O'Rear, Chairman OF the Commission
to locate Eastern Kentucky Normal
College that the commission will be
in Louisa the first week is August
and our Home Coming Week follows
close on the heels of this important
event; and we may be pardoned II we
here and now insist that this work OF
putting our town in order shall begin
next Monday. July 81. Every street
obstruction should be removed. 1t Is
with regret that we note the failure
of people TO respond in this particular,
not only the streets of the city need
attention, but private property, more
especially some Of the vacant lots. the
latter of which are actually disgrace
in some sections OF the city. Let us all
get busy next Monday morning and
make common cause against insight
ly and unsanitary conditions. Civic
pride ought OF itself to prompt us to
join heartily in this movement.
