Hugh Hill was chairman. and County Clerk Norman Miller sec- retary. Warden Feagan in opening the meeting explained that the govern- ment had asked the Kitchener -Wat- erloo Flying Club to take charge of the training end of the school, and Huron County citizens to finance and conduct the executive part of the school.

Turner, of Goderich; G. L. Parsons and A. H. Erskine. County treasurer A. H. Erskine was appointed trustee to receive sub- scriptions and hold then in trust pending the receipt of the charter.
