.DY A peculiar coincidence one
- of our highly esteemed con.
temporaries, the Sunnyside Times
last week published an editorial
advocating government supervi-
sion of transocean flying at exact
ly the same time we were setting
forth our disapproval of such ac-
ton on the part of the national
government.
Beyond doubt the Times is
right in believing such flights
should be supervised if it expects
the government to scour the seas
in search of all flyers that are lost
in attempting to fly from this con-
tinent to another from this time
on. No doubt if the government
accepts such a job, as the years go
by and airplane transportation be-
comes more popular, a good sized
navy will be needed to do nothing
except look for missing airplanes.
And anyway we fail to see why a
government Inspector should be
able to Judge more accurately the
distance a plane can fly than a
private mechanic who has probably
flown itt thousands of miles and
who is willing to risk his life in it.
I'm this country ten times as
many persons die from prevent
able diseases as are killed in air.
plane crashes. 1t seems to us the
government could find better use
for it's money than spending it
searching the oceans for flyers
foolhardy enough to risk their
lives for little publicity and a
few thousands of dollars in prize
money.

OUR TOWN LOYALTY

MO CITIZEN is SO powerful
~ none so humble but what his
town is an aid to him in some way
or other. There is where he en-
ploys his labor, or his capital,
builds his home, enjoys the society
of his kind and, in short, finds ev-
erything that makes life worth the
living. Failing to find these things
he usually goes in search of them
elsewhere. If he remains it is ma
tural to suppose he has found that
which he sought.
Since your town boosts you why
not do as we'll by it as it does by
you? To progress it needs the help
of every citizen, and every citizen
benefits individually from every
community Improvement, whether
that Improvement takes the form
of public works, population growth
increased prosperity or business
development.
No community is so miserable
and unattractive that it has not
its boosters and none so perfect it
has not its knockers, but that city
or town achieves most in civic bet
terment which has the most boost
ers. There are boosters and many
of them are here. They and their
forerunners have made it the fine
community it is and are making it
the better community all want it
to be in the future. But there are
two reasons why every citizen
should be civic worker and boost
er. First, it is unfair to place the
whole burden upon the few, and
second, every citizen owes it to
himself and his fellow citizens to
do everything within his power to
make the community better that
it may better serve all.
However, one should not make
the mistake of combining his boost
ing to talking about the virtues of
his home town. Direct advertising
pays, but the kind of boosting that
pays the highest dividends is sober
and persevering endeavor of the
kind that builds and beauties the
community.

A dog belonging to Joseph Mazza,

living on Mill road, Mortified,
destroyed "a broilers, the property
of Police Recorder Stanley Lovett,
also Of the Nil! road, Tuesday night.
Mr.. Lovett went out on Wednes-
day morning to feed the flock that
he securely locked up the night be-
fore: instead Of the usual noisy
greeting. silence prevailed.
Five chickens were almost entire
ly eaten, the rest of them had been
mauled, chewed and frightened,
causing death to the entire lot.
Mr.. Lovett began an investigation
and found that the dog had dug a
large hole under the chicken house,
but was unable to get in that way
because of a board floor. He then
dug and clawed at a window which
resisted his efforts. finally he
succeeded in tearing the wire from
an enclosure and entered.
Mr.. Lovett and their neighbor.
Mrs. John Cant, have lost chickens
before.
The Recorder called Mr.. Mazza
in, and told him he thought his
dog was responsible for the whole
sale slaughter. Mr.. Mazza denied
this. An examination showed the
dog to be covered with blood and
feathers.
The dog catcher removed the
marauder Thursday morning.
