are rapidly being formed, and en-
thusiasm is growing all along the
line for the early completion of the
system of landing fields.
Aviator Bob Hausler and City
Clerk Charles L. Murphy returned
late last evening from visit to
Gallup, where they had gone to in
spect a field. They were enter
tanned at a banquet by the Kiwanis
club, where they outlined the plans
for Winslow's celebration, and re-
ceived assurance that a great crowd
from Gallup would be present and
help Winslow do the thing UP
brown. Two army aviators from
Denver were in Gallup at the same
time, and stated that they, and
many other army flyers, would
bring machines from the Denver
post to Winslow on May 16 and IT,
Mr.. Hausler returned the first OF
the week from the coast, where he
was in touch with the chambers OF
commerce, flying association Off
cials, aviators, and moving picture
concerns, taking up with them the
publicity for the new airway and
securing their promise of co-opera-
ton to make the affair the biggest
that has ever been pulled off.
At Glendale, Calf, on Saturday
and Sunday, March IA and Is, an
aviation meet and banquet will be
held, to which, Mr.. Hausler and
other Winslow people have been
invited, and Mr.. Hausler will take
his plane, painted over the wings
and body with announcements of
WinSlOw's meet.
Mr.. Hausler made arrangements
with Pathe News to get the pictures
of the local celebration. Along
with that the Pathe people also will
take pictures from the air of the
Painted Desert the buttes north OF
town, the Hopi villages, the big for
ests to the south, and the canyons.
These will be distributed with the
regular issue of Pathe News and
will be shown in theatres all over
the land. One of the features OF
the Pathe release will be the pilot
ing of a plane by a Navajo chief.
Mr.. Hausler was promised by the
officers themselves that Capt. Low
ell Smith, of the roundthe-world
flight; Capt. Reginald Balmer and
George B. Harrison would be here
to take part in the celebration.
Harrison is leader in flying
circles in this country, and pub
fishes and frequently writes for
aviation magazines. In letter tc
Mr.. Hausler received this week be
says, in part:
"* Sorry did not see you
again before you left. We
want to boost the doings at Wins
low in every way, so keep me in
formed on anything that may work
into a story and we will get it into
the Los Angeles papers. =
am sending story to Aviation
magazine on the Winslow celebra-
ton. The flyers here ana
the Commercial Aircraft associa-
ton are enthusiastic over Arizona S
progress and I think this will be
reflected in the east. When
one traces this on the map it will
be seen that it will make an ex-
tremely important route. + II
am writing to DR.. A. B. Lambert
head of the Listerine company, al
st. Louis, who is interested in avia-
ton, asking him to stir up a move
ment for this air mail route anG
telling him of what the Arizona
cities are doing. l think this will
start something"
The local committee plans, as
part of their publicity work, tc
transport to Winslow by plane one
of the popular moving picture act
resses from the coast, who may be
worked into the Pathe news re-
lease. In this they have been prom
ised the cooperation of the picture
people in Hollywood, and Mr.
Hausler, who while on the coas
took part in the making Of a big
Lasky picture, states that the movie
stars are very much interested anC
wish to make the trip.
