Charles Lee Weems, now a full cadet in Uncle Sam's dirigible balloon corps, arrived in Quincy Thursday night for a short visit. He has a furlough to June 10 and is stationed near Akron Ohio, where the balloon field is located. Weems enlisted for aviation service alongside Newcomb Stillwell but chose the dirigible branch.
