ian flyer operate the field and thus
civilian planes could land here and
use the hangars. If some action is
not taken sioon it is quite possible
the field will be declared surplus

a 'number of 'cadets to summer train-
ing this year and Barham is eligi-
ble to send some. Also there is a
possibility that Jones Field might
be used as one of the summer
camps.
