SKY HARBOR BELONGS
TO HURON COUNTY
Warden George C. Feagajn Asks Resi
dents of the County to Put Their
Money on Active Service
So that every municipality in
County of Huron may share in
control of Sky Harbor, Warden Geo.
C. Feagan has issued the following
statement:
Soon after a landing field was es
tablished north of Saltford in the
County of Huron a pageant was held
to raise funds for the erection of a
hangar. At that time the few citizens'
who had endorsed the project had no
« assurance that the people of this
County w&uld support aviation. To
the surprise of everyone, men, women
and children to the estimated number
of over forty thousand from all over
the County thronged the open fields
and roadways. This publicity attract
ed the notice of officials of Civil Avi
ation in Ottawa and a representation
was made to the Department of
Transport of the Federal Government.
The minister assured the delegates,
after he had made a personal inspec
tion and had sent a number of experts
to make a complete report, that Sky
Harbor provided natural facilities for
an air port, but that before Govern-
Ssment assistance could be granted the
.... Is
the
the
land would have to be in the name of
a municipality. It was then that Hur
on County endorsed the project and
levelled some of the runways. Shortly
after, the outbreak of war, the Govern
ment wired our Council, asking them
if they would be prepared to consider
Sky Harbor as a training field for
Empire defence. A special meeting of
Council was called and our reply to
that telegram was that the County of
Huron would purchase the field and
place it at the disposal of His Majesty
the King.
Sky Harbor has been designated as
an Elementary Flying school for the
training of pilots and to be operated
by a civilian company, following a'
plan that has been in operation in
Great Britain for three years prior to
the present war. The details of this
plan have already appeared in some
of our newspapers and further infor
mation will be available.
$35,000 in cash is to be raised for
the formation of this Company and it
is our plan to maintain the control
and identity of Sky Harbor within
Huron County. There are 24 munici
palities in Huron and Ave have allotted
$15000 to each one of them, in order
to make available to all citizens the
opportunity of owning stock in their
own airport. For this reason, shares
are being distributed at 10 dollars
each. With each ten shares of prefer-
red stock one share of common is giv
en as a bonus.
This is an opportunity for you to
keep control of Sky Harbor within
our own Cotunty of Huron, to sub
scribe to a patriotic venture in help
ing win the war, and to make what
is considered by business men a sound
investment, yielding 5% on preferred
shares and surplus distributed am
ongst the common shares. As War
den of the County I appeal to you to
supply the capital from every town,
village and township, north, east and
south, that Huron's control of avia
tion may remain in this County for
the duration of the war and as a foun
dation from which to build a mighty
industry in the day to follow the final
victory.
