Incorporation o, A viation Country Club Is Completed Incorporation of "Aviation Country Club" at Pal-Waukee airport was completed last week, and the plans under which the club will operate were announced by Manager Clifford Condit. Most.interesting to the 0wn- ers of airplanes will be the fact that members of the club will enjoy free hangar rent. "The sponsors of Aviation Coun- try club are not commercial airport operators," said Mr. Condit. - "They obtained a most, advantageous lease upon the airport and decided to form a social and sporting club to relieve other private pilots from the. higb cost of flying. "In many cases, the plane owner spends as mucb for hangar rent as he does for fuel, oil, and maintenance. Under the Country club plan he can do twice as much flying at no in- crease in total expense. Limit Membership to 20 "To guarantee against overcrowd- ing, and to keep down overhead, it bas been decided to limit membership in the club to 20 plane owners. An eligible list of 45 bas been established. From this list enough names have been selected to fi11 the club. As- sociate membersbips will be issuied students, or prospective plane own- ers. "The club 'rooms have. been ren- ovated and restaurant service is in operation. We now have a 'garage righit at the airport wherc niembers'. cars are sheltered and protected while they are. fiying." The articles of incorporation of A.C.C. list, Mr. Condit, Lloyd Alan Iaflin, Mayflower road, Lake Forest, and Chester Foust, Skokie road, Highland Park, as the organizers of the club.
