Western Kansas area airports improve with new facilities
Airport progress across Lewis and Johnson fields continues with new runways hangars and a manager's office completed at Lewis while ground work proceeds on Johnson as Stanton County voters recently approved a new airport northwest of town. A May 9 air show at Scot airport stars Harold Krier, local former Garden City resident, with Bill Skipper and Dwain Trenton among performers plus four jumpers and other acts. Sublette hosts a new women’s wear store after a fire closed shops. Leroy Hayden of Satanta buys the burnt building and plans a Sublette women’s shop, a $35,000 investment, with Hayden’s chains in Satanta and Johnson. A long clipping recalls Johnson Hotel’s 1931 fire and local firefighting tales. A Sublette exchange student, Carolyn Davis, faces possible eye loss after a car crash in Emporia, with doctors citing a 50-50 chance. A Wichita County bridge east of Leoti, burned during weed fires, costs $16,000 to replace. A note closes with a historical tidbit on the first safety pin patented in 1849.
