Air Mail W eek
Brings Forth A
Masterful Essay
High School Student in
California Lays Unity of
Nation to Aviation.

The Post Office Department today
made public the winning essay of
Perry Morrison, of the Monrovia-
Arcadia-Duarte high school, of Ar
cadia, Calf, winner of the National
Essay contest conducted by the Post
Office Department in connection with
National Air Mail Week.
Morrison's prize winning letter was
selected from some several hundred
thousand essays that were submitted
by school children in every state in
the Union.
Second and third prize winners in
the national contest were Ellen Peak
of Manhattan, Kans., and Homer Still,
Jr., of Jacksonville, Fla, respectively.
Morrison's winning essay follows:
Wings Across America.
A nation is no stronger than the
ties which bind it together. Air trans
portation and communication con-
S.itute such tie-an agent in bind
ing our country into one unit. More
over, it helps to maintain within that
unit a social, cultural and economic
as well as a political democracy. For
instance: The Federal Reserve Banks
resources in New York are being
taxed Money lies idle in San Fran
cisco. An adjustment is made-by
air. A government official is in Chi
cago. Urgent matters of state call
him to Washington. He is there in
less than twenty-four hours-by air.
Serum from Boston is needed for an
epidemic in Florida. 1t gets there
in a few hours and saves many lives
by air. Junior cuts his first TOOTH
Even such trivial matters as infor-
nation about Juniors tooth help to
bind us together as a nation. Wings
Across America help to keep us united
yet democratic; efficient yet free
an ideal much of the world has
given up.
Wings Across America also make
for more gracious living for the
individual. One has breakfast in
Los Angeles; dinner in New York
A letter mailed on one coast is de-
livered on the other in an astonish-
ingly short time. Loved ones or bust
ness connections, days away by land,
become but a matter of hours away
by air Scenic wonders take on even
greater glory when viewed from
above Speed and dispatch I'M
dreamed of few years ago are now
at every mans disposal for the pur-
chase of an air mail stamp. To what
end? Unity for the nation; more
abundant life for the individual!
The prize winners were announced
Sunday night at the National Air
Mail Week dinner at the Mayflower
hotel, in Washington, at which the 48
state essay winners were present.
Morrison's prize consisted of an
air trip to Miami with five-day stop
over for sightseeing purposes in that
city, followed by a transcontinental
air trip to his home in California.
Miss Peak received a winged plaque
and Still, the third prize winner,
likewise received a symbolic air tro
ply.
The state and national winners will
be received at the White House at
4:45 p M Monday by Mrs. Franklin
d. Roosevelt
