XIV ANS CLUB
HEARS TALK BY
AIR ENTHUSIASTS

Sterling Price, president of the
Zenith Aircraft corporation, and w.
w. Gibson, president Of the San
Diego Chapter of the National Aero,
nautical association, were the speak
crs at the weekly luncheon meeting
of the Kiwanis Club held at the
Barbara Worth hotel Friday.
In explaining the failure of the
AlbatrosS, the Zenith corporation s
nonoplane, to get away to a start in
its effort to set new world s en-
durancc record in the valley, Presi-
dent Price said:
Some one swiped 100 revolutions
from the center motor during the
night. Those 100 revolutions mark
lust the difference between success
and failure and the next take-oft
of the Albatross is not going to
be a failure.
Price said that Thursday night
everything appeared perfect and that
with the excellent weather conditions
prevailing Friday morning all look
ca well for the Albatross.
"But it's just another of those
things which we must expect in this
adventure. Our first venture here
was a much more costly one but
now we are sure of our tanks. The
motor Just wouldn t work right and
we are not going to send the ship
into the air until it does. 1t should
be in perfect shape tomorrow morn
ing for the take-off but we will
not take chances.
Gibson then took the floor. He
told the members that he was de-
lightfullv surprised with the field
provided here for the test.
"You people here perhaps do not
realize the value of that field, :" he
declared. "Why if it was located in
San Francisco or some more metro
politan city it would be worth be-
tween one and two million dollars.
1t is the greatest natural field in
the country, without question. 1t is
especially well suited to make all
kinds of airplane tests and with but
little improvement could be made a
perfect haven for airmen.
Miss Helen J. Scott, county secre-
tarv of the y. w. c. \. was the next
speaker. She informed the Kiwanians
that the y. W. G. \. drive will open
in the valley next week. She eX-
planned that the valleys quota is ap-
vroximately $4,000 and that $500 of
this amount is now in hand. She
asked that the club lend its cooper
alton in making the drive success
and was assured by the chairman
of such cooperation.
William Bennington acted as
chairman of the day. Miss Berenieee
Modem rendered several vocal solos
which were we'll received.
