Pilot guides by blinker to field landing in Cler mont
An army pilot, Charles Hart net, was lost after a second air leg when local patrolman Robert Janett used the red blinker on his car to direct him to a landing strip at Cler mont. Hart net is the son of famed Cubs catcher Gabby Hart net. A fertilizer handling tip urges keeping sacks off floors to avoid moisture and rodent damage, noting one rat can eat about a bushel of corn in five months.
