CLEVELAND, (JP) — The 14th
running here of the National Air
Races has been called off for this
year.
The Labor Day week-end spec
tacle which drew some 200,000
last year was cancelled for 1950
Wednesday night bu the event’s
executive committee. Apparently
Secretary of Defense Louis John
son’s refusal to allow military
planes to participate was the
clinching reason for the decision.
Rev. and Mrs. Lewis Hudgins
and family departed Wednesday
on a year’s furlough to the States
after five years of fine service in
the community wheer they have
taken an active part in all com
munity affairs and a fine service,
particularly for the young people
of the community. Mr. Hudgins
expects to bV on lecture tour dur
ing his ye^r in the States, show
ing his many slides and movies of
the northland.
