Colonel Moore opened his reading with a short discussion of the beauties of childhood and the essence of childhood verse. Interludes of music between groups of poems were supplied by Mrs. Mary T. soprano, and Mrs. Margaret McClure Still, who accompanied Mrs.

Plau at the plano. The songs all were original compositions of Mrs. Stitt. Colonel Moore was introduced by Russell, the Wilson. opening of the meeting Miss George Elliston, who had arranged details of the reading, called upon Francis J.

Here all information necessary to fliers can on instant inquiry.

Ample lighting facilities will be provided by the installation of twolamp changing flood lights. These flood lights, a new development 'in aviation, will carry one ten-thousandwatt light each, and in case light should go out another one automatically moves into place. There is but a two-degree angle to the light, giving the pilot plenty of light on the ground and enabling him to land without. higher difficulty. than The the' light pilot com- will partment.

A ceiling light, throwing a shaft of light straight into the air, will be mounted on the top of the operations office. Border lights will be placed along the edge of the fleld, showing its boundaries. All of the hangars will be flood-lighted, as well as other necessary lighting arrangements installed. The transportation facilities to the field will be increased. Colonel Sherrill has authorized the widening of Turkey Bottom Road to 40 feet and Davis Lane and other approaches leading to the field will be widened as much as possible.

Another approach leading from Kellogg avenue to the airport at the far eastern section of the field will be made, authorization having been obtained for a right of way. It is the hope of Colonel Sherrill and Mr. Olin that in some future period the wide bend in the Little the larger. To care for Miami River, can be eliminated and the possibility of high water, a large dike is to built along the field and the field graded in such a manner as to keep it dry as much as possible. Sewerage facilities will be installed and city water piped and extended.

Every advantage which the city can supply for the municipal airport of Cincinnati will be given, making the airport 'one of America's best. The field as it is today won the enthusiasm of the fliers who finished in the Cincinnati Airaces. Arthur Goebel, winner of the non-stop race, said it was one of the best he had landed on and expressed surprise that it had not been developed. He said the field would be the best in America when developed. Other pilots were equally impressed with the field, and the facilities which it offers to passengers and fliers alike.

The wide acreage, which is rich in history and Indian lore, and which now is to become one of the leading of the country, was destined, a hunting ground for Indians where wild game of many kinds abounded. Later tall and hardy corn grew in the rich bottom land, and a story has been told that an early settler planted an acre of corn and left for New Orleans by an Ohio River boat returning three months later to harvest 100 bushels. The annual spring flood of the Little Miami River which now will be eliminated by a dike, came as regularly 88 the northbound airmail leaves every afternoon from Lunken Airport, and deposited a covering -of rich black loam on the field, increasing its fertility. From its expanse was harvested many fine crops. The march of time brought about a change in ownership of the field, and with the new ownership came a great change in the use of the land.

Barns were built and the field smoothed and graded in some places. Goal posts were erected and the field laid off into a polo field where some of the first games of this fascinating sport were played. The organization of polo clubs in other sections of the city caused the field to be abandoned and for a time it remained as a vacant plot of ground. The war came along and the use of the airplane progressed. The city needed an airport care for the interest in aviation it undoubtedly would engender.

Grissard Flying Field in Blue Ash, which is now Watson Airport, was started and for 8 time all airplanes landed and took off from that field. However, it became necessary to have a field within a short distance of downtown Cincinnati, and farseeing minds turned to an available spot near the downtown section. The old Indian hunting ground, the cultivated cornfield, suggested itself, and Major E. L. Hoffman, noted parachute inventor, started the ball rolling.

with the result that the Lunken Airport Company was organized in 1922. The nearness to the downtown section suggested itself. Other cities were less fortunate in having an airport so near the business section, as time means a lot in flying.

of airports in conjunction Edward Kruckemeyer and Charles R. Strong, architects, and contracts for the Administration Buildings, hangars and other airport accessories will be asked for. It is hoped that the airport will be ready for dedcation next year in time for the completion of the air races in Cincinnati. The Administration Building, which is to be the center structure of the group, and from which additional buildings will radiate, will be two stories high. On the top of the building will be the glass encased office of the operation officer, who will have a wide range of the field from his lofty position.

In his office will built a public address system, which will enable him to call to any pilot on the field. The Administration Building will house the offices of the municipal officer in charge of the field, as well a8 the offices of Embry-Riddle Company, present commercial operators at Lunken Airport and largely responsible for the development of aviation there. To the left of the administration office proper will be the waiting room for aircraft passengers, and from this room will run a covered steel structure which will enable passengers to walk to the ships immune from the elements. To the right of the Administration Building will be the pilots' room and restaurant, which, because of the addition of aircraft factories and personnel of companies on the field, will be necessary. Away from the restaurant will be hangars opening cn either side and then the repair shops.

Additional hangars will be all along that side of the erected, their need becomes apparent. A large concrete apron will front the administration office, which will be used by airplanes for take-off, obviating the possibility of a dust screen caused on fields not having the aprons. The front of the Administration Building will be a large esplanade, which can be used for parking and other purposes as the need warrants. That the Administration Building will have every convenience for pilots and the public is the plan of Colonel TO ENTERTAIN "BUDDIES." Judge Thomas H. Morrow Plans Reunion Of 37th Division.

Annual get together and reunion of all former members of the Thirtygeventh Division now living in Hamilton County will be Sunday, at the farm of Judge Thomas H. Morrow, of Common Pleas Court, North Bend Road, near Winton Road. The reunion, which was started about three years ago when Judge Morrow was President of the Thirtyseventh Division Club, will continued under the present regime of Burton E. Robinson, who was elected President last year. At the reunion this year, plans for the dedication pilgrimage to France and Belgium for the dedication of monuments erected under auspices of Battle Monument Commission, will be discussed.

Mrs. Morrow, who usually acts Ag hostess to the soldier boys who served with her husband in France, will serve a chicken dinner to those attending. The reunion will start at 2:30 o'clock Sunday. Mr. Robinson said yesterday that many invitations sent to the members of the club have been returned because of wrong addresses, indicating that the members have moved and left no forwarding address.

He urged that all former members get in touch with either Mra, Robinson or Mre. Morrow. transportation would mean nothing it all the time gained in flying would have to be spent getting to and from the airport. The Luken Airport Company took over the property of the polo club, reconverted the barn into a machine shop and clubhouse, moved the hangars from Grisard Flying Field and improved the approach to the field by building a road. Electric lines were installed and the water supply furnished.

4 runway for airplanes a mile and a half long was built and other necessary improvements made, with the result that the former corn field and polo course became the landing field for the latest modern invention in transportation. Approximately $45,000 was, spent improving property, and shortly thereafter the company leased the property to the Embry-Riddle Company, which started the first commercial air service in Cincinnati, and which company is responsible for the development of commercial aviation to a greater degree than any other company or individual. With Major Hoffman as the army representative here, the airport was placed on the United States Airways, and army reserve air pilots now operate from the field. Captain John G. is now in charge of the air reserves, while Major Hoffman is in Dayton experimenting with the development of several new types of parachutes, one for individuals and the other for airplanes.

Commercial aviation started in a small way in Cincinnati. Those were the lean years for avlators when the country was less air minded, and trans-Atlantic and trans-continental non-stop flights were discussed with an abhorrance. Pioneers in the industry were considered fools to experiment with so fragile a proposition. Perseverence over a period of years finally placed the Embry-Riddie Company in a position where today it is considered one of the best commercial companies in the United States. It operates Contruct Air Mail Line, No.

24 between Cincinnati and Chicago, and is the only commercial company located on Lunken Airport. Credit for starting the commercial flying era in Cincinnati must be given to Hugh Watson and John Paul Riddie. These two men barnstormed Cincinnati with Watson conducting the Grissard Flying Field, and Riddle as his pilot. Here they soloed several students, among them T. Higbee Embry and later Captain John Pattison.

The tie between Embry and Riddle became intimate, and later Embry bought the first Waco 9, manufactured by the Advance Aircraft Corporation, of Troy, Ohio, Riddle soloed Embry on Lunken Airport, and in December 1925 the Embry-Riddle was organpized. It was investment Company, with Watson and Riddle at Grissard Field that started aviation in Cincinnati on a scale of any magnitude.
