who flew to Ireland, was scampish enough to pre-

Corrigan what he deserves-and wants? Will
the American aviation industry recognize the
young mans constructive qualities and make it
possible for him to give them full play to the

Not Altogether Luck

OTIS Of people say this flight was sheer luck.
- In the papers you read, Navy Seaplane
Crashes Killing Two Men," Here is one Of the
most up-todate flying machines made, with the
best navigators training and experience can turn
out, and3yet the poor souls are killed. So it has
gone the last couple Of years-crash after crash.
The best planes with the best pilots-weather
reports and every safety precaution taken.
No, I do not think you can say young Corrigan's
flight was pure luck. His flight had the gift Of
genius with Unbounded grit and determination
to carry through. do wish every paper in the
country would warn other young fliers what
risky and dangerous task he undertook. There
are so many poor kids striving to make name

I'VE take the position
THAT our own rigid policies in the extension
Of credit and investment Of depostors' funds
will prevail regardless of any new regulations.
THAT we will make loans to individuals and
business institutions when we are convinced that
such loans are advantageous to the borrower
and do not involve undue risk.
THAT this bank will at all times maintain re-
serves and undivided profits over and above our
abundant capital and surplus funds in amounts
sufficient to eliminate all assets of unsound
character which may be acquired, and to offset
the differential between costs and market values
on investments, regardless Of any relaxation of
