Langston, who promptly set to work to organise a local squadron. These advisers selected Jlmmie Little, chairman; David Wolfe Wallnuu;! Jack lteese, Kugene Campbell and William Koasonover as members of an organisation committee to aid them in their work. Meetings were held on January 21 and 27 of the*eliglble members of the proposed squadron, and on the latter date, an application for a charter, signed by Commander Carl A. West, of the Iaigion Post No. 17, was sent to detachment headquarters. The charter arrived on February 10, aiu| therefore, the official meeting of thb new squadron was held on Februray 16.

It's the Safety Sensation of 1939! Our customers have staricu a word-crfimouth campaign inat is making this the biggest selling tire we've ever had. Already we are reordering to meet the demand. The marvelous gripping power of this amazing new tire, so dramatically demonstrated in actual use has swept it to amazing heights of popularity. Motor car manufacturers have been so impressed by its superior performance that they have adopted it for their 1939 models. Why? Because the Firestone Champion Tire is an entirely new achievement in safety engineering. . ' ' ~ 1 Stronger Cord Body. This is accomplished first, by the ? use of a completely new type of tire cord called "Safety-Lock," ^ in which the cotton fibers are more compactly interwoven to A assure cooler running and provide greater strength. Then, ^ the fibers in each individual cord, the cords in each ply and M the plies themselves, are all securely locked together by a new and advanced Firestone process of Gum-Dipping which M provides amazingly greater strength. And greater strength J means greater safety. ^ More Non-Skid Mileage. The new Safety-Lock cord 4 construction provides the extra strength needed for the use of the new, thicker, tougher, deeper Firestone Gear-Grip tread which delivers remarkably longer non-skid mileage. This sensational new tread is called "Gear-Grip" because of its unique design ? it has more than 3,000 sharp-edged angles which grip the road with a sure-footed hold to protect against skidding and assure a safe stop. You need this extra non-skid safety and blowout protection and you need it NOW! Drive in today and equip your car with a new set of Firestone Champion Tires ? the only tires made that are safety - proved on the speedway for your frrotection on the highway.
