The local Legion was greatly interested in these orders and immediatcly pointed Mr. Bunce chairman of the committee of the airway program. Mr. Bunce is well perienced along airplanes lines and during the war devoted his time to aviation. He became very much interested in the erection of the sign and worked day and night for the last month on it. Although the erection fof the signs scems a simple matter, 1t required a great deal of lahor and mental work. Mr. Bunce hired a plane when the program orders were first issued and flew over the town, making a visual survey of it to find suitable places for the pro- posed sign. After careful consider- ation Mr. Bunce decided to offer his land for the purposes and he start- ed work at once.
