CODY CLUB ANNUAL
MEETING MONDAY MITE
Dinner, Program and Election zof
New Officers For Ensuing
Year, At Irma Cafe

The annual meeting of the Cody
Club will be held on Monday night
October 10th. that being the date
for the clubs yearly business and
the election of a new set of officers
for the year 1%927-192S. As has
been the custom for many years,
the event will be celebrated by a
banquet to which the ladies are
cordially invited, a short program
Will be arranged, and the report of
the clubs activities for the year
will be given.
The Cody Club is n of the old
est commercial organizations in the
Big Horn Basin. having its incep-
ton about twenty years ago when
a group of Cody's early day bust
ness men got together and organi-
zed the towns first and lasting
community club. The club func-
ffoned for several years, acquiring
club oom where the Cody Garage
office is now located in the Cody
garage building, finally to become
rather inactive during the years
1914 and 1915. =
Eleven years ago it was reju-
venated and again became the town
most active booster organization.
Hon. L. R. Ewart, president of the
First National Bank was chosen as
its first president after re-organi-
zation, and during the eleven years
since that time there has never
been a time when regular meetings
have not been held each week,
usually with a weekly luncheon at
one of the local cafes.
Upon it's reorganization the club
adopted new bylaws and constitu-
ton, and created an organization of
several committees, each having its
share of the clubs activities to look
after. There was a Roads and
Transportation committee designat-
ed; one called the Civic Improve
ment committee, one named the
Agricultural committee, n to look
after Cultural Development in the
community. a Trades and Finance
committee, and Entertainment COM
mittee and a Publicity committee,
All of these committees have been
maintained during the last eleven
years of the clubs work.
Mr.. Ewart served as president of
the club for three years. and at
that time a ruling was made which
limited the term of this office to
one year. He was followed by Ora
Sonners. then Dave Jones. Sen John
Cook, R. w. Allen, DR.. R. c. True
So MI -
year by E. F. Shaw.
The club has always taken a
large place in the affairs of the
community. working and boosting
for those things which have been
considered worthy and carrying on
a publicity work which has meant
much in placing Cody. Wyoming on
the map as one OF the best and pro-
gressive little towns in the West.

GRAYSON PLANE is
FORGED TO RETURN
Woman Filler Lands, When
Load on Amphibian Is
Found Too Heavy.
By United Press

By United Press
OLD ORCHARD, Maine, Oct. II.
Mrs. Frances w. Grayson's plane,
The Dawn, made an uncucceSSful
start for Copenhagen from the
beach here today.
After a good takeoff at 9:31 a. m.
the plane returned to the beach
few minutes later and landed.
1t appeared that the plane had
proved too heavy, as what seemed
to be gasoline came from the craft
as it scared overhead.
Despite an over-heavy load. the
plane made perfect landing about
500 yards from the hangar of Capt.
Harry M. Jones. where large crowd
had gathered to see the f1iers OFF.
Have Trouble in Air
It had been evident to spectators
long before the forced descent that
the fliers, Mrs. Grayson, Wilmer
Stultz, the pilot, and Brice Colds
borough, navigator, were having
trouble with the 11,500-pound plane
Goldsborough was the first to
climb from the plane. He assisted
Mrs. Grayson from the cabin. Stultz
followed
1--WE had too much of load,
Mrs. Grayson said. 1--WE are going
to shift about fifty gallons of our
emergency gasoline supply from the
nose of the plane to the rear.
Confident of Success
"The heavy load in the nose kept
pulling us down. I thought we were
going to have to land in the water"
Indications were that there would
be takeof later today.
Mrs. Grayson, clad in a sporty
aviators costume, was as confident
as ever that her proposed $500
mile fight would succeed. She
seemed not the least AFFECTED by the
misbehavior of the Dawn under an
excessive load.
I'm sure it will be all right as
soon as we readjust the load" she
insisted.
There was much bustling about
the hotel here near dawn, as fresh
sandwiches, soup and coffee were
prepared for flying rations. An ad-
ditional supply Of concentrated food
in waterproof containers already is
aboard the giant Sikorsky anphi-
bian plane. This will be used in
case of mishap at sea.
None of the flying trio seemed
concerned about success of the
transatlantic attempt. They be-
lieve the plane will remain afoat
several days if forced down. Ac-
cordingly, they carried no rubber
lifeboats or life-saving suits.
