Sunday, August 28, more than 100,000 people overran Akron's municipal airport for the annual aviation day sponsored by the Scripps-Howard Times-Press. The program was a success in spite of one embarrassing circumstance: there was no Times-Press. In its edition that morning, the Times-Press announced that it had been acquired by its competitor, John S. Knight's rich and dowdy Beacon-Journal. Akron, a lusty industrial centre of 255,000 population, was left with one daily paper...
