Explorer Scouts Visit
Avoca Control Tower
Explorer scouts visited the con-
trol tower at Avoca Airport Sun-
day afternoon. They saw small
planes land without radio, by means
of red and green light signals, and
big ones forming a landing pattern
by radio directive. The weather
maps and sun-recorder interested
the boys, also the back and forth
plane chat between pilots in the air.
John Savickas, Jr. whose father
is employed in the control tower,
was chairman of the day. Explorer
Tom and Bill Farrell, Blair Haddle,
Bobby (Cross, Arthur Ellum, Les and
James Barstow. Men who accom-
panied scouts were John Savickas,
Sr., Fred Cockayne, Jr., and Les
Barstow.
Harry Bagnall was elected acting
chairman ‘at a recent organization
meeting. Committee members are
Edward Ratcliffe, Fred Cockayne,
Joe Kravits, Jack Rogers, Arthur
Ellum, Les Barstow, Joseph Harris,
Jack Stanley and Percy Love.

Farm Show Will
Seek More Room
Many Were Unable
To Exhibit This Year
Weather and hazardous road con-
ditions that cut attendance at the
1956 Pennsylvania Farm Show serv-
ed to emphasize the need for addi-
tions to physical facilities in the
14-acre building, Dr. William L.
Henning, chairman of the Farm
Show Commission, has declared.
The last day’s attendance was
estimated at 60,000, making a total
of 580,000 for the week compared
with 675,000 last year and 540,000
two years ago when the week open-
ed with a heavy snow.
“In effect, reduced attendance
was a blessing in disguise for com-
mercial exhibitors and visitors,”
Dr. Henning said. “Except for the
big Wednesday, the visitors saw
the show in comfort. The more
than 300 commercial exhibitors, the
folks who support the show, had
a better opportunity to talk with
prospective customers.”
This means that exhibitors need
more space for their displays, Dr.
Henning explained, adding that
more than 100 had to be iurned
away for lack of room this year.
