repair shop, in addition to storage
space for eight planes.
80-Acre Flying Field
The new 80-acre flying field is
directly across the road from one
operated during the war by Bixel,
local automobile dealer and a war
time aviation instructor. Drainage
tile is being laid now, and that phase
of the work will be completed within
the next couple of weeks.
Comparatively little grading is
required, for the land is flat, and
construction of the runways will be
a simple matter.
Providing better highway access
to the field the Orange township
trustees have piked with stone a
one-mile stretch of the former mud
road which runs past the airport.
The improved road starts at State
Route 103 and extends to the Arthur
Swank road.
Aircraft Mechanic on Hand
Eddie Post, of Spencerville, a
licensed aircraft mechanic, will be
in charge of repairs and general
details of the field, Bixel announ«ed
this week. i
Following completion, one of the
principal activities at the airport
will be instruction for servicemen
under the G. I. Bill of Rights. A
starting class of 20 is in prospect,
with an average of six months’
training required for a private pilot’s
license.
To meet the cost of instruction,
the G. I. benefit program in most
cases provides up to $500 for each
veteran enrolled.
Class I Airport
The new airport development will
give Bluffton a Class I field,
representing the minimum in air
port equipment. Class I airports in
this vicinity’ are at Pandora, Ottawa
and Kenton. Lima and Findlay have
Class II airports.
If the development were a munici
pally owned airport, it would be
eligible for a federal grant of
$17,000, money for which is expected
to be made available within the
next six months.
Former Local Man
O. S. U. Professor
Oscar D. Rickly, formerly of
north of Bluffton, has been advanced
from associate professor to a full
professorship in the industrial en
gineering department at Ohio State
university.
Rickly has a degree in mechanical
engineering and a master of science
degree from Ohio State. He is mar
ried and is the father of six child
ren.
Greyhound fores
are as low as
in Pre-War Days!
That upward spiral of price rise hasn’t so much as
budged Greyhound fares. They have remained normal—just as low as
before-the-war days. This is more remarkable too, since costs and main
tenance of operating bus lines have risen sharply all along the line.
How does Greyhound do it? Well—it’s no trade secret. The backbone
of Greyhound Lines formula for success is more and better service to more
people. Expansion and augmented service thorough maintenance and
efficient operation of equipment have all combined to hold the line on
bus fares.
Your travel dollar really buys more today than ever before in bus line
transportation. And when Greyhound’s orders for new buses are filled, your
dollar will buy even more in comfort, convenience and better bus service.
