than 25 miles from home for the first 50
hours."
There can be no passengers in it until
after that.
"It takes quite a while to get 50 hours of
flying time, so we possibly won't get
anyplace this year."
When that 50 hours is up though, Sam
says he wouldn't mind flying out west with
it and he would also like to get to Oshkosh
in the International Fly-in. He said four
years ago there were only two of this type
of airplane at the show. Three years ago
there were 12, two years ago there were 24
and last year there were 52 but Sam says
there. are hundreds of them flying in the
States. There is only one he knows of that -
is flying in Canada.
Sam will be taking his plane to Goderich
for its test flight, because it needs a long
runway.
And what will he he be doing while he
waits for the inspector?. "Finishing up
some things that need to be done,"
according to his wife Margaret who
indicates that a television aerial never got
hooked up for some time while Sam was
working on his project.

Correction
• An error was made in last
week's report on a Morris
Township council meeting.
In a paragraph about the
Blyth and District Commun-
ity Centre, it was stated that
last year Morris gave a grant
of $5,400 to the arena. That
was incorrect. The $5,4uu
was the total amount given
by all municipalities involved
with the arena. Morris ac-
tually gave a grant of $750.
The Post apologizes for this
error and any inconvenience
it may have caused.
The tag, dated April 1981,
explained it was part of a
project by a class of the Fawn
River School, Sturgis,. Mis-
souri.
The tag was returned
along with a small map of our
area and some information
about the farm so Dean
would know how far his
helium-filled balloon had
travelled.
People we
