1t was a glorious day. Wilson say
the air was very smooth know there
were few bumps in our road, not
many but a few. Every once in a
while we would nose over and start
down, but always We came back
again.
The sensation in the air reminded me
of the old days on the river when a
steamer-side-wh pass
me as l rowed along in a f1at-b bottom
ed boat. AS the steamer passes, the
waves caused by the great wheels of
the steamer would cause the boat |
rowed to rise and fall and turn and
twist a bit. 1t was the same sensa-
ton in the air, only a little greater
possibly.
As we rose again above Woodbury.,
Wilson wrote back: Did you get the
name of the town? Woodbury.. We
are off our course about % or 80
miles" And then We began riding
northeast instead of due north. There
was wind on our right that had
forced the ship slightly out of her

The old ship righted herself,

Wilson was calmly looking about him

for football, baseball, playground, etc.

A ship will not kill the cattle nor will

For Safety's Sake.
My thought goes back to the safety
Of the pilot and the ship Label your
towns for the safety of the pilots and
ships. A ship has only a limited
amount of gas. Once that it is con-
sumed the ship must land. Suppose
the ship is off course, is lost-sup-
pose night at hand; suppose storm
suddenly comes up; where is the ship
to land. The pilot is lost. He must
land and trust to his luck for the
safety of his neck
That lost feeling was another very
definite impression that was made on
me. 1t was almost depression, away
up there, 1000 feet, where Macon
looks like Griffin, and Griffin like
Woodbury., and Woodbury. barely can
be seen; where railroads and rivers
are not laid out like they are on the
map.
Every town, every village, every
city, owes it to the air service, to
those splendid fellows who have been
pioneering-and still are pioneering
for the good of the nation, for the
love of humanity for the safety of
their people, for the benefit of COM
merce, for the love of the game-the
greatest of AN American impulses
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1919-05-28

for the sport, for the LOVE OF THE
GAME-yes, We owe it to the air SER
vice to LABEL our towns, villages.
railroads and bridges.
The air service is destined to be
what we make it. Let's give the afr
service whatever it desires.
And my last impression of my fight
of about 200 miles in 80 minutes is
this: Lieutenant Floyd Wilson is
SOME flyer, careful, attentive, consid-
crate, skillful-a real fellow.

especially praiseworthy service while
the 117th was occupying the line in
Belgium. In the big push on Septem-

the first officer from regimental head
