LEGION TO BACK Summit Group Indorses Dog Events By Vote Of 15 To 11 At Meeting AFTER LENGTHY DEBATE First move of Lee Bishop post, American Legion of Hudson, to get support from other Legion posts in the county for its dog racing program at the Northfield track, was approved by Summit post, No. 19, at a stormy session in the armory, last night.

By a vote of 15 to 11, with about 20 members voting, Summit post passed a motion to indorse dog races at the track sponsored by the Legion. The vote came at the end of a long debate on the dog track proposition, which was presented to Summit post by Harry Grim, commander, and E. G. Smith, member of the Hudson post.

Their first attempt was last night at Summit post and tonight they will go to Akron post, No. 219, which meets in Goodyear hall. Ryder Not Satisfied Robert C.

After a considerable number of attempts I finally convinced my in structor, Al Steyer, pilot for the Robblns Flying Service at Stow Field, that it would be safe to turn me loose. But the first Inkling I had that Monday night was to be the night was, when Al calmly announced, "Well, I'm going to let you do one alone now. You've made some good landings tonight and there's no reason why you can't do another without me sitting up here." So saying, he climbed out of the cockpit and gave Harold Taylor nie a last minute word or aavice aoout maKing sure that I got into the field all right, going around again if I overshot or made a bad landing, and having all night to get down again.

I undershot a little in starting the glide but corrected this with ease, and was soon coming at the field at a normal rate of speed. Has Shakiest Moment Approaching the ground, I 'leveled off, and had my shakiest moment when the plane threatened to climb as I pulled the nose up to get it into landing position. Counteracting this with a forward movement of the stick, I succeeded in getting the plane back almost into position just as the wheels struck.

There was a slight bounce, then the plane began rolling to a stop. At last it was over. I felt so elated that I expressed myself by taxing hurriedly up to the hangar. Al, Hugh C. Robbins, manager of the Flying Service, Sam Greismer, mechanic, and some of the other witnesses congratulated me, and I felt very proud when I learned that the bounce I made in landing had been scarcely perceptible.
