FINANCING AERO CLUBS
A SCHEME THAT WILL APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC Most of us are aware of the necessity to the community of Aero Clubs if we are to keep abreast of modern times, and if w r e are to provide a force of instructors, mechanics, and pilots as a means of national defence. Air strength is now equally as important as naval or military strength, and the only means New Zealand has of building up an air force is through the establishment of local Aero Clubs. Recognising this, the objective of Golden Wings Art Union is to bo greatly commended, and it is hoped it will meet with liberal support from u sympathetic public. £4,000 in alluvial gold is being offered in prizes, th© first prize being £2,500,' and the second £SOO. Tickets are 2s 6d each, or book of 9 for £l. The trustees are Sir Joseph Ward, Bart., P.C., K.C.M.G. (Southland), Sir Francis Boys, K.8.E., President Canterbury Aero Club, and the Hon. W. B. Taverner, M.P., Otago Aero Club, and the Secretary is Mr. W. B. Steel. P.O. Box 393, Dunedin.
It is not often that one is presented w’ith the opportunity of subscribing to a worthy cause and at the same time winning a fortune of £2,500 for the small sum of 2s 6d.—B.
