With some $18,600.00 in cash and
pledges of about $2,000.00 more that
will be in cash this week, the airport
finance committee, headed by Dr. R.
L. Shepperd, is making their final
drive to see that enough money is
raised by public subscription to in-
sure Llano county having an airport
that is second to none for the size
of the community.
“We have not been able to see
many of the people of the county,
the chiirnian said yesterday, “who
we know will want to have a par* ln
this project, but some member of
the committee will contact them dur
ing the next few days, or if they will
1 see one of the committee members,
their contribution vcill be gladly re-
•eived. 1
“We hare set our goal at *0,”
Dr. Shepperd explained, “in order
that we may have all th» improve-
ments necessary to make the Llano
county airport second to none.
,'If enough money can tie donated
by public spirited Llano county citi-
zens. we can have lights on the field
that will enable any plane having
trouble at night to land safely and
probably saving the Hf© a Cyer
and valuable equipment.
“A hanger is also very desirable
in order to keep visiting planes out

problems to the homemaker in pre- being tu good mechanical condition
