TRIBUTE TO AIRMEN.
BY FEILDING CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. Reference to the flight of SquadronLeader McGregor and Mr H. C. Walker was made at a meeting of the Feilding Chamber of Commerce last night by the president (Mr J. G. Eliott)
who said that the achievement of the two airmen had thrilled the whole of New Zealand, and that their epic flight had shown what New Zealand could do in the aerial world.

The motion was carried unanimously-
