The Coolidge examiner., 1946-09-06

plus Florence and Coolidge have
an opportunity 10 develop a Joint
EecreatiOnal area and airport un-
eQualled By any town Ia Arizona.
The only objection Is distance.
The airtield is about equidistant
from each of the towns and offers
unexcelled runways for any type
passenger or cargo plane on the
market today.
IN ADDITION To
the airport facilities there Is a
fine swimming pool, well and
pump with water coming from the
ground at a temperature OF IS de-
grees the year around.

council has discussed the adyisa-
bility Of obtaining the airfield as
a municipal airport but the major
number OF local residents interest
ed in flying have expressed as
their opinion the need for airport
facilities within a mile OF SO OF
the city limits. However. whatever
is done should be done quickly be-
fore the field Is turned over TO the

DURING WAR TIME
drastic orders were issued to ar
my flyers TO prevent "buzZing
and low nying over highways and
residential areas. With all the
control which the army has over
is flyers there were many cases
Of low flying and buzzing which
became fatal accidents. Now We
seem To have an epidemic of buzz
ing over Arizona cities some
not too low yet low enough to be
disconcerting and TO cause com
plant. Here in Coolidge early this
week three planes charged down
Central avenue toward the bust
ness district before swooping up
ward and heading north. Whom
soever has control over civilian
Ayers should do something about
buzEing before accidents occur.
DURING THE SUMMER
months automobile drivers become
a little careless driving through
school zones because school Is not
Ia session. But habit takes hold
and the early days of school which
are soon TO start are particularly
dangerous because OF this sum
mertime negligence. Every auto
mobile driver should be unusually
careful now the lives OF our
children are precious.
