Airplanes Run Booze Smuggling In Prohibition Era Reports
Prohibition enforcement officers warn planes will be needed to patrol the border as liquor is said to be moved from Canada by air. Reports from Livingston note whiskey-bearing planes landing near the town while sheriffs seek county planes.

Local tips claim more deputies and pursuit cars would help, and residents observe a shifting mood as information about stills and bootlegging surfaces from wives and workers alike.
