Garden Club meets

–

Ambitious plans for the improvement of this village as viewed by the eye were outlined and suggested Wednesday night at the first annual meeting of the Lake Placid Garden Club.

In addition to the encouragement of property owners to add to their gardens, the organization plans to take some of the improvement into their own hands. The first project to be undertaken as a monument to the garden club will be the painting of the Lake Placid Public Library. It is planned to paint the low structure white and to place green blinds at the windows. The small ground plot toward the street will be painted and window boxes installed to simulate the small English cottage.

Among the plans suggested for winter activity will be an approach to school authorities to promote the raising of plants in the school rooms under the supervision of pupils.

Air show thrills

–

Many thousands from this village and surrounding communities viewed the airplane maneuvers and stunt flying by army, navy and civilian planes at the municipal airport here on Sunday and Monday, which was sponsored by the North Elba Park Commission.

The rapid shifts in formation and the spectacular swoops toward the earth individually and in unison, by the Navy Hell Divers, held the crowd at rapt attention. The planes were later led by a giant bomber, which dropped bombs on the runways, to all intents and purposes, making the way clear for the squad of planes in its wake.

Much interest was shown in the maneuvering of the 3-ton Douglas army aviation observation planes from Pine Camp under the command of Capt. Nelson. Lt. Commander Clayton was in charge of the navy squadron from Floyd Bennett Field. Many in this village saw an autogiro in action for the first time.

The professional parachute jumper, who amazed the spectators by his muscular control in changing positions and aerial acrobatics during the swift descent toward the earth from an altitude of 5,000 feet before pulling the rip cord at 2,000 feet, landed in the top of a high tree Monday and at a late hour in the afternoon was still suspended, the cords of the parachute entangled in the branches. He was unhurt. The jumper was handicapped in making his landing by a high wind, and in spite of his maneuvers landed in a wooded area near the Lake Placid Club golf course.

Resort booklet

–

First copies of an attractive new booklet, calling attention to the advantages of this resort as a convention center, have been received at the local bureau. Material for the booklet was prepared by Dr. Godfrey Dewey, Lake Placid convention manager.

The 16-page prospectus is profusely illustrated with new and unusual photographs, type and reproduction printed in soft blue on a white background. The spelling used is a conservative version of the simplified spelling that was for many years urged by the late Dr. Melvil Dewey, founder of the Lake Placid Club.
