The eyca of two continents were
focuased on a lone airman lust Saturday
as he was winging his way
uero?g the Atlantic. All huts are off
to the dashing Lindbergh who landed
nufely on French soil ahead of his
schedule. He was accorded a welcome
.n Paris never given u hero before.
He is only twenty-five years of age
hut is said to look much younger and
was amazed at . the rumpus he had
created when he landed. He had no
publicity agents to herald departure
and his approach. He just hopped off
and made the trip and that was all
there was to it, and the beauty of
the whole affair is that he is modest
and has not allowed the plaudits of
an admiring world to turn his head.
Another beautiful characteristic of
the young Westerner was the fact
that one of his first visits after a
refreshing sleep was to call u]K?n the
mother of Nungesser, who with a
comjmnion, was making the flight
from the other side and has been lost i
for nearly three weeks. Lindbergh is
of .Swedish-Irish descent and was
little known except us an air-mail
pilot before he made his recordbreaking
flight to fame and fortune
and master of the air. The whole
world rejoices with this lad in his
great achievement.
Out of the mud and dust! With a!
paving project within the next two

n the early fall and pushed to completion.
It is the best news given out
'.n this county in a long while and
will be Well n-e vial by our pen pie.
