Plane In Air
163HOurs0n
Record Trial

CLEVELAND, July 5.-tP)-Still
functioning perfectly after an over
night battle with a severe electri-
cal storm, the blue monoplane City
Of Cleveland today roared along on
the last lap of its attempted record
endurance flight for planes refuel-
ed in the air.
Possibility of further rain was
predicted by the weather bureau,
but the center of the storm which
gave Pilots Roy l.. Mitchell and
Byron K. Newcomb a hectic night
had moved on and it was believed
the flight would not fail because of
the weather.
AT 1:39 p. m. the City Of Cleve-
land passed it's 163rd hour aloft
and needed to remain in the air
only until approximately 10 minutes
after midnight to break the mark
of 172 hours 80 minutes and / Sec
ond established at Fort Worth,
Tex. Ground observers reported
the motor droning as steadily as it
did at the start of the flight nearly
week ago. The plane seemed in
perfect condition with the excep-
ton Of minor dents on the fuselage,
caused by the humping of heavy
bags swung from the refueling
ship.
A new refuelling ship was pro-
vided today for Pilot E. z. Basham
who damaged the other one last
night when forced to land only by
the light of shafts of lightning. He
successfully made his 22nd contact
IN the new plane and the City of
Cleveland was given enough gaso-
line to last until mid-afternoon.

land Within so Days

That the Oakland Volunteer Fire
department had purchased a new fire
fighting truck was made public this

the fire company has been receiving
in the past, Mr.. Stemple said. Prior
to 1929 the Council paid all bills of
the company, which amounted from
$1,000 to $1,000 each year.

minute.

CHILD HEALTH DAY TO BE
CELEBRATED In SCHOOLS
Program in Celebration of Event
to be Made Public Next Week
by Public Health Nurse

That there will be a program ar
ranged for the different schools i'll
the county in celebration of May Day
was announced by Miss Rhesa NJ
King, county public health nurse. This
program will be published next week,

kind of recreation which:
1. Takes them into the sunshine and
fresh air.
2. Provides exercise through play.
8. Interests them in variety of
athletics.
4. Offers them activities suited to
their individual needs.

sion through music, dancing and
drama, as we'll as through athletics.
Child Health Day, emanating from
the American Child Health associa-
ton over which Herbert Hoover has
presided since it's creation, has become
national event in the United States.
The President himself has written the
Childs Bill of Rights, while Mrs.
Hoover has taken the time and pains
to write out her convictions regard
ing the value of Child Health Day.
