 CROSSES SAFELY
l9 Passengers Aboard Air Liner; Accident Was
 Kept Secret

London, July 10 - (UP)--Pas- sengers on the Yankee Clipper visited London, Paris and other European cities today--two days after they left New York on the first passenger flight over the Northern Transatlantic route.
 Nineteen passengers and the crew of 12 made the flight, arriving at Southampton at 12:43 p. m., EDT yesterday, 27 hours 20 minutes out of North Washington, N. Y.
 It was not until the Clipper neared Southampton that the pas scngers learned from members of the crew that whilet he Clipper was about 800 miles east of New foundland the throttle rod control ling the gasoline supply to No. 2 engine on the part side broke, put ting that engine out of commission.
 Mechanic Fixed It
 A mechanic climbed out on the catwalk inside the huge wing and in ten minutes installed a new throttle rod and within IS minutes the engine was functioning nor- mally. None of the passengers sus- pected. The Clipper had been pro- ceeding smoothly with only three of its powerful motors working. On & single-motored plane, the accident would have meant disaster.

AMERICAN FLAG
FOR SCOUT Unit
TO BE PRESENTED DURING
NEXT MEETING OF
ORGANIZATION
BY EUGENE REHKOWITZ
Troop Scribe

At the next meeting of Boy
Scout Troop 81, an American flag

CLEAN UP AND PROFIT

Travel is a great educator. AS one
moves about there are new sights to see
and many things to learn. Inevitably, one
compares the new with the familiar and
sometimes the comparison is not very flat
tering.
Nearly every reader of The Citizen
has visited larger cities Without excep-
ton they have been impressed with the
cleanliness of modern business houses. Go
into successful store, in a metropolitan
city, and you will find its stock neatly ar
ranged, attractivey displayed and, above
everything else, clean.
There is lesson in this, it seems to us,
for many business houses of smaller towns
and cities. In community where nearly
everybody knows everybody else there is
tendency to take things for granted. The
business man does not realize the buying
impulse that clean store exerts upon GUS
toners.
There is, after all, no excuse for a
dirty, unkempt place of business, whether
it be an office, agency or store. Cleanli-
ness is within reach of every business and
its Importance should not be overlooked.

The cut of the Baha'i Temple

recognize his moral obligation to
his fellow brother, and that we
individually can only grow as
all humanity is raised to a high

The splendid article by a Mr..
Singleton on the same page
caught and held our interest and
beside being most informative,
was thrilling as well as dramatic
reading. We never have had the
pleasure of visiting Key West, but
now would not think of denying
