FLYING CLUB TO BUY NEW PLANE IN NEAR FUTURE

At a meeting last night of the Harvard Flying Club to determine what was to be done after the recent accidents resulting in the loss of both of the club planes, it was decided that the club would continue to exist as it has in the past, and that a new plane would be purchased as soon as possible. No interference by University authorities was anticipated by the club executives.

The two accidents, occurring within ten days of each other, have naturally had a great effect on the Flying Club aside from the loss of the two ships, out according to the president, T. B. Eastland, '33, every effort will be made to carry on. The last plane to crash, a type of ship new in the east, was being flown at the time by men representing an aviation company which had borrowed the ship for demonstration purposes. For this reason, no action is expected by college officials.

According to Eastland, there was every reason to believe that the club insurance policy would cover the crackup of the training ship last Sunday. The first plane was not insured. With the insurance money and what is at present in the club treasury, a new airplane will be purchased within the next three weeks if possible.

The club has as yet not definitely decided what type of plane will be bought, but one or two club pilots within the next few weeks will be employed in trying out different makes. As soon as a definite decision has been arrived at, an order will be put in, and the new plane will be ensconced in the club hangar.
