HAPPENINGS OF INTEREST
at America's Greatest Airport and Aviation Center [[/preprinted]]

August 15th, 1933.

The Roosevelt Field - Montreal International Goodwill Flight is all arranged and entries in.  Final instructions are being sent to entrants, who have cooperated splendidly in getting in their blanks in good time.  Probably because of the outstanding success of the Flight last year, this greatest effort for the private flyer is being recognized and acclaimed by all who are really interested in this important division of aviation.  The committees associated with the Flight are indicative of its National importance.
