New York-Colonel Charles A. Lind
bergh received a check from the hand
of Raymond Orteig, representing the
$4,000 prize which he won by max
ing the first nonstop fight from New
York to Paris.
The colonel, nearing the end of
busy day, which followed a night in
the air, and morning on wheels IN
a Brooklyn parade, settled down for
a few moment in the dining room of
the Hotel Brevoort, owned by Ray
mond Orteig. After a few short
speeches, the check was handed the
aviator.
The check was highly distinctive
aside from its figures. It carried Mr..
Orteig's signature, the American flag,
the Spirit of st. Louis and all it's
wording and numerals were embossed
and Illuminated on fine vellum.
200 Guests Invited
Thanking the aviator and the donor
were 200 invited guests, the press and
the trustees of the prize.
In presenting the check, which was
offered in 1919 to anyone who could
win it, Mr.. Orteig said:
81 had two thoughts in making this
offer. One was to stimulate aviation,
the other to strengthen friendly rela.
lions between the United States and
France. Through you, Colonel Lind
bergh, my aspirations have material
lied beyond words"
Colonel Lindbergh, with his usual
blush, accepted the check and STEP
ping forward from among the several
trustees Of the fund, said:
81 have often been asked by press
men what first directed by attention
to possible flight to Paris. I believe
Mr.. Orteig first directed the attention
of most aviators that way. His offer
of $4,000 for the first New York to
Paris flight was challenge to the
pilots of the world to see if they could
build and operate sufficiently cap
able plane. I don't think any such
challenge within reason will ever
pass unanswered"

ARE YOU READY?

Whenever this question is put to a Young Pioneer
he always stands up and in voice full Of enthusiasm
answers always Ready" If you should ask this
Pioneer, what he is always ready for he will tell
you without hesitating, that he is always Ready
to fight for the workingclass (workers and against
the bosses. That is the Young Pioneer Spirit.
Other organizations and clubs have other spirits.
For example the Boy Scouts have the Boy Scout
spirit which means to be loyal and fight for God,
the boss and the bosses country. This spirit is
against the workers and that is why the Pioneers
fight the Boy Scouts.
But the Boy Scouts is a strong organization and
to fight them we must get all workers children to
join with u.s. Are you workers child? What kind
of a spirit have you? ANSWER out loud) Well, then,
you belong to the Young Pioneers. You should join
the nearest group or write to us for information.

"All Power to the Workingclass!' working

sayings of this kind, you will all over Russia.
And really the workers and peasants the bosses
there. Now let US take one fact. When came to
Russia, l at was assigned to one of the units
of the Pioneers. l began to work right away. Very
often we would play the drum. We would sing all
Revolutionary songs. Men would take off their hats
when we would pass them. Policemen would stop
traffic and salute We felt just like bosses. If
we tried to do this in New York, what would hap
pen? The best way to find it out is to do it. Who
is the boss in the U. S. A. anyway?

the color of those strange nomadic
people, who have roved for centuries

On the marriage license appear the
names Mary Zach and Gus Adams,

the bride is the Princess Elena and
the groom no less a parsonage than

In accordance with royal custom the
