LEE AND JACKSON

The week of January 19th25th contained the birth
day anniversaries of both Robert E. Lee and Thomas J.
Jackson probably the two most famous military leaders of
the Confederacy and among the ablest soldiers produced
by an Engshspeaking nation 1t accurately be said
that the two earned Immortality even while losing
war.
1t is tribute to General Lee that his achievements
are now recognized by the people in section of the
country. man who abhorred war; who had freed his
slaves before the outbreak of Lee brought out the fin
est qualities in under his command He was match
less military leader who could have commanded the
mics ofieither side in the historic conflict.
Like many Of his day. Lee felt his first duty lay
with his state and although he sincerely regretted seces
son he decided to stand with his in the struggle
which ensued.
In Jackson, Lee found military leader who needed
few instructions and who exploited every opening with
bodnes and speed The combination of Lees strategy and
Jacksons brilliant tactical exploits force which few
military commanders, of any day. could have withstood
Jackson his nickname of "tonewa" in the first Bat
tie Of Bull Run.
At one point, when Southern troops were breaking
under the charge of heroic Federa Jackson refused
give ground General Bernard E. cried his own
troops There Jackson standing like WALL The
Confedefates rallied and finally won the battle.
General Lee proved great American in more spheres
than the military field He became great educator after
the war; great force in soothing the bitterness and
in healing the wounds of the nation following the war; AL
ways beloved leaden the South he was respected and
admired leader in every section It said of him that no
army he commanded ruhlessy destroyed possessions
in invaded territory.
One symbol Of the solidarity which now unites this
is the tribute universally paid men like Lee and
Jackson Great military leaders have often fought on the
losing side and been forgotten men are remember
ed whether they lost and into this category Ro-
bert E. Lee and Thomas J. Jackson fall

THIS ROCK OF OURS
BY Bn.L 0IBB

George Faraldo Is doing q good
job as manager Of Meacham Field
in view Of the conditions he has
to work under. ne sbickering and
squawking that has been going on
out there amongst private pilots
is fairly common at any airport.
Considering some Of The exhibi-
tons Of stupid flying that I've

were not someone like George to

Not all, but few Of the private
flyboys have little regard for their

they should 50 bury themselves h

than take q chance on digging

I've watched some II the pri-
vate airplanes hog the field By
practicing landings and take-offs
while commercial airiiners were
forced TO circle the Island until

seen these same hct-shcts rush out

The situation is similar to public
owned swimming pools where
swimming is forbidden when there
ID no supervisory personnel pre-
sent. Perhaps q man can swim
as good at midnight as he can at
noon but there are other factors
beside his ability to swim that
might present danger. And so it
Is with flying. The best pilot can
often find himself in need of
ground assistance and under pre-
sent conditions, Meacham Field
isn't qualified to offer such help

The financial position of Mon
roe County is unusually good. II is
m excellent time to start planning
for Q control tower and badly
