Harmless bombing was done by
the fliers as they dropped bags of
meal aimed at a Dodge automo-
bile that was speeding down the
airport runway. They made one
direct hit.
Jack Huber, by the way, missed
the DR.. Storms mattress at which
he aimed in his delayed jump by
about so feet. The mattress was
won by John Duncan of Shaw
boro.
Spectators were amazed TO see
a Goodrich gold and black inner
tube stretch some 16 feet and stall
an automobile and an airplane
in a tug-of-War.
The entire air show lasted for
approximately an hour and a half
and held the thousands of specta-
tors spellbound, despite the heat.
State highway patyolmen did a
very good job of handling the
traffic on the road to the airport
and there were a few traffic snarls.
The air circus was sponsored by
the American Legion.
All who attended experienced
thrills and declared themselves as
well satisfied with the show.
