SKY HARBOR AIRPORT
BELONGS TO HURON
COUNTY
Warden Gearge C. Feagan Asks
Residents of the County to Put
Their Money on Active
Service.
So that every municipality in the
County of Huron may share in the
control of Sky Harbor, Warden Gen.
G. Feagan has ,issued the following
statement:
Soon after a landing 'field was
established 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 the
County would support aviation. To
the surprise of everyone, men, women
and children to the estimated number
of over forty thousand from all °vet'
the County thronged the open fields
and roadways. Spedial police had to
be called in order to control traffic.
Some sixty planes took part in the
pageant, coming from the United
States and from every flying club in
the Province of Ontario. This public-
ity attracted the notice of officials of
Civil Aviation in Ottawa and a rep-
resentation was made to the Depart-
ment of Transport of the Federal
Government. The Minister assured
the delegates, after he had made a
personal inspection and had sent a
number of experts to make a com-
plete report, that Sky Harbor provid-
ed natural facilities for an air port,
but that before Government assist-
ance could be granted the land would
have to be in the name of a muni-
cipality. It was then that Hurons
County endorsed the project and
levelled some of the runways. Shortly
after the outbreak of war, the Gov-
ernment 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. This pat-
riotic gesture won the admiration of
the Government and, might I add, of
patriotic organizations from coast to
coast, and much publicity was given
to our County by the press of Can-
ada.
At that time we had no knowledge
or intimation as to what method the
Government would use in carrying
forward their operation of the field,
but assumed that it would be con-
ducted by the Department of Avia-
tion with their own personnel. Under
the British Commonwealth Air Train-
ing Plan, these various flying fields
are divided into categories and Sky
Harbor was designated as an Elem-
entary 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 information
will be available.
$35,000 in cash is to be raised for
the formation of this Company and
it is our plan to maintain control and
identity of Sky Harbor within Huron
County. There are 24 ntunicinalitie:
in Huron and we have allotted $1500
to each one of them, in order to
make available to all citizens the op-
portunity of owning stock in their
own airport. For this reason, shares
are being distributed at 10 dollars
each. With each ten shares of pre-
ferred stock one share of common
is given as a bonus.
This is an opportunity for you to
within
control of Sky Harbor «,tthin
our own County , of Huron, to sub-
scribe to a patriotic vent,,ere in help-
ing win the war, and to make what
is considered by business men a sound
investment, yielding 54 on preferred
shares and surplus distributed
amongst the common shares. No
County in Canada has made a more
Patriotic gesture in connection with
aviation than we have, and, by this
token, there is no question that had
it not been for our interest in Sky
Harbor, the Port Albert Navigation
School would never have come into,
existence.. This is an 800 -acre tract
of ground on which facilities are be-
ing erected to the extent of approxi-
mately one million and a half dollars.
We will have in this. County some
1,400 men for training and instruc-
tion. These young men will come
from all over the Dominion and Hur-
on welcomes them. Your individual
investment need not be large, but as
Warden 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 aviation may remain in this
County for the duration of the war
and as a foundation from which to,
build a mighty industry in the days
to follow the final victory.
The big navigators R.A.C.F. school
