Following completion of leveling and grading the runways of Winslow’s new municipal landing field, which will be finished some time this week, the Boy Scouts, upholding their creed of “doing a good turn daily” will turn out Saturday and start work of clearing the entire field of old tin cans which have been dumped on the grounds in days gone by, so that Winslow’s new field will present a spick and span appearance to birdmen who will light here in the future.
This Saturday A. R. Hipkoe’s troop will go to the field and carry on work of clearing and next Saturday Jack Lindsay’s troop will complete the work. Chas. Daze, local transfer man will donate a truck to haul away the debris as it is gathered on both days.
Wednesday, work of erecting the weather vane taken from the old field, was completed and by next week the big white concrete circle, that will be visible for many miles, will have been laid and the field will be completed, although it is in such shape that landings may be made right now.
According to announcement this week an effort is being made to get several army planes here on Memorial Day, to assist in the services to be conducted by Frank Perkins Post, American Legion, at which event the new field will be dedicated.
