C. Bos- well, and Mr. Whyte explained that both preferred .ead common shares had one vote for each share. The- training will be in the hands of the. Kitchener -Waterloo Flying, Club, Mr. Whyte said, since there was no chartered flying club in Huron. W,hen, this information was received a group o1 men in God,erioh believe that Harare annald retaineeetitrol and thus was beatin• the movena,ent to dis- t•Oute the stock as widely as pos- sible in Huron.
