George Holston, Goodyear Rep resentative, Responsible For Visit of "Ptiritan" To Farrn ville; Take Up Passengers. ? ? ???? When the Goodyear Zeppelin-type I airship Puritan comes to Farmville on I Tuesday, November 18th, under the! auspices of George Holston, Goodyear I Tire dealer here, it will mark thel first occasion that lighter-than-air! flying has ever been offered to thel general public in this vicinity. Most loeal residents are familiar I with army mid navy airships which! frequent!/ fly ia th's area, but the] number that has ridden in the gov-1 eminent ships is quite limited. The Goodyear Airship "Puritan"! will carry four passengers in addition J to a pilot on each of its demonstra-1 tion flights over Farmville Tuesday,! Nov. 18th, and as the ship is to be 1 brought here for but one day, this I means only a limited number of per- J sops may be aurried. I Distribution of tickets is being han- | died at George Holston's Tire and! Battery station. All flights are being I scheduled for a definite time so there I will be no disappointments or long waits for rides for those who obtain! their tickets in advance. The "Puritan" and its five sister! ships in the Goodyear fleet have I carried more than 30,000 passengers [to date without a single accident that! haa resulted in injury to a rider. In accomplishing this commendable rec ord, the ships have flown more than a quarter of a million miles. The "Puritan" has visited 20 states and attended many of the outstand ing air circuses and air race3 of the country during the past year. All passenger flights over Farm ville will be made from the field on the Farmville to Wilson highway a feet hundred yards west of the Im perial Tobacco factory, and flights will average approximately fifteen minutes in duration. . When ; arrangements were made with the Goodyear Company to bring the "Puritan" here, Farmville was *? given, preference over numerous other cities in this area which have been seeking an operation of the ship.

Today it was leaned from a union authority that it is prepar- 1 ing to make another effort to secure .. a conference between H. R. Fitzger- , aid, mill president, and a committee of workers.
