never saw a college until he was mid
dle-aged. He worked at night AS an
operator in a telephone exchange
while striving for meager schooling
in Littleton, small town near by.
The short flight of the Wright
brothers on December II, 1903, set
young Morgan afire He knew little
about physics or science, but Kitty
Hawk opened new world for him.
He saw opportunity for himself in the
world of science and invention and
determined to grasp for it. He closed
the books and started for the sea. He
had never seen the ocean, but the
ocean, through the United States
Navy, became his college. He joined
the Navy as an apprentice and served
for four years. In the Navy he went
through the electrical school, specialize
ing in radio. He was on the U. S. S.
Delaware when DR.. Sperry installed
his first gyroscope compass. Morgan
lived with this compass until he
learned everything about it. He was
graduated from the Navy with the
rank of chief electrician.
Joined DIR. Sperry.
DR.. Sperry. Within several years he
had come through engineering, manu-
featuring, sales to the presidency Of
Sperry. His company concentrates on
development of devices and instru-
ments of precision that world avia-
ton demands. Morgan loves an air
plane with the same devotion that
EVE loves her horse, John the Bap-
list.
A few years ago, Morgan reorganiz-
ed Curtiss Wright and lifted it from
the red. He served for four years as
president of the Aeronautical Cham
Der of Commerce of the United States.
He is chairman of the board of five
other corporations. He was appointed
by Grover Whalen as chairman of the
Advisory Committee of Aeronautics
for the World Fair. 1t is a far cry
from a poor tobacco farm in North
Carolina to the head of great cor
poration in Rockefeller Center.
I regard Tom Morgan as one of the
greatest living North Carolinians He
is more than this. He is a great Amer
lean. His life is a shining example to
thousands of young Americans who
are willing to take the hard way.

Herald. The author of the column is

article, about Thomas R. Morgan, ma
tive of Vance county, follows:
In America, Europe and throughout
the civilized world there is nothing of
more vital concern to men and women
today than aviation and its relation to
transportation, national defense. and
preparation for war; Last September
there were millions of people para
lived with the fear that within less
than a month London or Paris. or
both of them, might be as completely
destroyed from the air as Sodom and
Gomorrah.
AT Kitty Hawk, N c., aviation was
born a little more than a third of a
century ago. Just 16 years earlier.
Tom Morgan was born on q poor farm
in Vance county, N. c., $50 miles from
Kitty Hawk. Apparently there was
no relation between the birth at Kitty
Hawk and the birth in Vance county.
Yet aviation has made Morgan, and
Morgan has done much for aviation.
Self-Reliance Demanded
Thomas r. Morgan, president of the
Sperry Corporation is a living exam
pie of changing world, and his
achievements are an illustration of
the wisdom of the fact that new con-
dtions demand new remedies.
He was born under conditions de-

with good raw material in the crea-
ton of a Self-made man. He was born
poor his parents were poor. his neigh
bors were poor, his country was poor,

''BLOSSOM" TRAINS
TO STOP APRIL IS
Silver Meteor After That To
Pass Through Henderson
About 7 p. M.

The "Orange Blossom" winter
tourist trains on the Seaboard Air
Line railroad through here will be
discontinued for the season as of
April Is, and the Silver Meteor, all
stream-lined passenger train, will
have its schedule changed, accord
ing to talk today in railroad circles
here, but which was not announced
officially.
The Orange Blossom trains, op-
Grating between New York and
Florida tourist points, began service
in mid-December and have enjoyed
an exceptionally good season, it is
understood. The east coast trains
have been operated by a fleet of
Diesel electric locomotives, affording
the first and only complete all cleo
trio passenger service between New
York and Florida points ever in
augurated.
When the Blossom trains are dis
continued, the electric engines will
be transferred to other year-round
fast through trains.
The Silver Meteor, only complete
ly stream lined train running be-
tween New York and Miami, which
was inaugurated February 2, will be
changed in schedule, and will pass
Henderson on the southbound run
early in the evening, shortly after 7
o'clock, and will stop here for pas
sengers, according to the informa-
ton. Returning northward, it will
pass here somewhere about 6 or 7
o'clock in the morning. Its present
schedule is about nine hours from
New York to Henderson, but this
time could not be maintained if many
stops not now included in its run
were ordered.
The same report said that the Sea-
board will shortly inaugurate Sec
ond one of these completely stream
lined trains. Ever since the Silver
Meteor began its run, there has been
talk that the Seaboard was having
two more built. These stories have
not been confirmed officially.
