Hope Needs Airport—Long Range Plans Urged For Hope
A report from the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce of America argues for immediate airport development in Hope to capitalize on rising light-plane production. Piper Aircraft will reach about 10,000 planes a year with a new plant, Taylorcraft and others boosting small-ship output, prompting calls for landing, fueling, and stopover facilities on the great transcontinental air route. Meanwhile the feature film Escape? at the Saenger theater is praised for suspense and fidelity to the Ethel Vance serial, described as one of the year’s best and a rare, compelling cinematic experience.
