Fruits of long-range planning at Municipal airport now ready to drop into the lap of private plane owners. Provision was made in the master plans for a row of individually-owned hangars. Joe Carlin is now putting up six metal-clad units as samples of what the plane-owner may have for very little money.

The city, in planning for these private aerial garages, offers space to build a hangar to anyone for $25 per year. Joe has now located a T-hangar which comes as an easy-to-build unit. Initial cost of materials is around $400 and construction is about $400. This means that for $800 the aircraft owner may own his own hangar.

Figuring the current rate of hangar space at $15 to $20 per month per plane, that brings any owner a nice return on his investment, to own his own hangar.

Mr. Carlin is putting up the first six for his own use, to hangar his six planes--but any owner can do the same. Construction work, which has already been contracted for, for field improvement, will start within a few weeks.

This will bring solidly-graveled taxi-strips right to the doors of the private hangar line, connect it with the gas pit and paved runway.

Before summer begins, Warsaw Municipal airport will be a well-drained and laid-out airport, all season, all weather, with at least one big hard-surfaced runway. It will seem mighty strange to be able to get around in muddy weather.

Running an airplane on the ground in mud is like a duck swimming in molasses.

Former members of the Warsaw-Rochester squadron of the Civil Air Patrol, are asked to immediately, send Robert Hogue at Silver Lake, or your correspondent, your present address. The Civil Air Patrol, an auxiliary of the army air forces, is being revitalized. Airplanes are being furnished units with live roster lists.

Pilots, navigators, mechanics, etc., who wish to join may do so by contacting either Mr. Hogue or Sky Writing.

We used to have a barrel of fun with the C.A.P. and apparently the air force thought a good purpose was served, for they want more of it.

Cadets are trained, emergency-service units are formed and an all-around air-minded program is fostered in the Civil Air Patrol. Come on in, the air is fine!
