“Flying Farmer” Abandons Farming
AVIATION CAREER DECIDED ON Per Press Association. 1 CHRISTCHURCH, Last Night. Mr. Ernie Clark, the young Canterbury farmer who recently flew from England to Now Zealand, has decided to give up farming for aviation. In a statement to a reporter to-day Mr. Clark said: “I have just returned from Wellington where I saw tho Prime Minister and Controller of Civil Aviation. As I wish to give my undivided attention to aviation I shall probably be selling my farm at Waikari in the near future.”
