FLYING-CLUB WILL MEET TUESDAY TO ORGANIZE

Memberships at $10 and $20 Will Give Reduced Flying Rates

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

After a successful career last year, in which its members won two events in the Norwood Air Meet and honorable mention in the Loening award, the Harvard Flying Club, an organization open to all air-minded members of the University, is drawing up plans for the year. A meeting for all men interested in joining the club will be held at 7.30 o'clock on Tuesday, October 9 in the Adams House Common Room.

Last year the club owned a Fairchild 22, open two-seater monoplane with a cruising speed of 95 miles an hour. It is hoped that the club will be able to buy a new plane this year; possible choices are a later model Fairchild, a Fleet trainer, or a Curtiss-Wright Travel Air three-place sport model, with a 165 horsepower motor and a cruising speed of 115 miles an hour.

Membership in the club at $10 and $20 a year entitles the student to fly in the club ship for about $8 an hour, or in commercial planes at a considerable discount.
