Mr.. Arnett has always been an
enthusiastic booster of the juvenile
f1iers and aided them in many ways
in the construction of their tiny
planes. He was a member of the
advisory board of The Indianapolis
Times Squadron of the ScrippS-
Howard Junior Aviator, and had
often offered plane rides as prizes
in their various events.
When Vern Boehle, Times
Squadron member, experienced mo-
tor trouble while testing a gasoline
propelled model at airport recently,
Mr.. Arnett halted his work, and
with two of his mechanics, spent
several hours putting the faulty
engine in shape.
This was but one Of the many
instances when Mr.. Arnett came to
the rescue of some grounded
youth. He always assisted in con-
ducthing model airplane events held
at the Municipal Airport, and guild
ed many a youth in and out the
huge hangers, explaining the con-
struction of the planes stored there.
And though Dick Arnett is gone,
his spirit will live on in the Junior
Aviator movement; it will be a long
time before his smiling face is for
gotten by the boys and girls who
admired him.
