LOCAL COUPLE
ENJOY TRIP TO
GRAND CANYON

Nearly 1000 miles in seven days
is the record automobile trip com
plctcd recently by Mr.. and Mrs.
Perry r. Hunt of this city, who re-
turned from visit to Wichita,
Kansas this week. The couple drove
Il DcSoto Six on the entire trip.
Leaving FL Centre Saturday,
Jane %, Mr.. and Mrs. Hunt drove
TO Phoenix and via the Santa Fo
tIail to Santa Fc, New Mexico,
thcncc to Trinidad, Colorado, and
across Kansas to Garden City. They
reached their destination Tuesday
evening, june %.
The return trip was made in
slightly less running time, and in
ciudcd an excursion to the Grand
Canyon, ending in Ell Centre on
Monday of>this week.
The local people declared they had
enjoyed every minute of the trip,
and were particularly impressed
with the color and beauty of the
Grand Canyon and the Indian
pueblos.
''The car worked perfectly all
the way to- Wichita and back, y
Hunt declared in discussing the trip
with Fred r. Cross, distributor of
DcSoto Skies in Imperial Valley.
'We kept track of our gas and
oil costs for the trip and they to-
tailed just So. We used n gal
Ions of gas going cast and ~ gal
Ions coming back. The oil amounted

Airport Shown On
Government Map

The lighting and equipment OF
the Imperial County Airport has won
the recognition which it deserves in
aeronautical circles, it appears, for
today the FL Centre Chamber OF
Commerce received copies of the Air
Commerce Bulletin, an official publ
cation of the United States Depart
ment of Commerce, in which appears
the government s airway map of the
country, prominent thereon being
the county airport. The chamber
has endeavored for some months to
obtain for this flying field official
recognition, and with the installa-
ton of flood, boundary and obstruc-
tion lights, this was made possible.
Application has been made for an
official rating, and it is expected
this will be obtained in a short time.
With the hoped for establishment
of the Southern Air Mail, the
county airport should be used as a
point of call. The demand and the
need for such southern service IS
being felt more keenly each day.
When the air mail was inaugural
ed many people sent letters by that
means merely from curiosity. Much
of this first mail matter was entire
ly unimportant, but it was new
tad, and as such many found pleas
ure in it. That time is past, and
month after month the amount OF
matter sent by air mail increases.
The report for June, just made pub
lie, shows new record of o93 ,2o4
pounds carried in the 50 days of last
month. More than ID per cent OF
this amount is credited to lines en-
tering Los Angeles.
While June lacked one day of be
ing as long as May, yet the latter
month showed an increase OF ofoj
pounds of air mail carried over that
of the preceding month.

their way to the Los Angeles con
