WORK OF AERO CLUBS.
It was a great xmsfortune that a considerable number of the general public put the work of aero clubs on a similar plane to that of sports clubs, stated Mr. A, E. Heyder, speiaking at a teeent meeting of the committee of the Wairarapa and Buahine Aero Olub. Actually, ae said, the club was training piiots for national service. The young men of to-day who were learning to fly would be the first to be called upon In the event of an outbreak of war, in which the lives and property of the public of New Zealand might be endangered. News from abroad during the last 18 months, said Mr. Heyder, had conveyed an impression of the tremendous power of attack made poseible by modern aireraft, and in an island isolatod to a large extent from the rest of the world, euch- as New Zealand was, an efficient air force was eBsential. The young men who were training as piiots, fcogether with the olub, deserved the support and practieal assistance of every person in the community.
