QUESTION: Why are the eish.
4een benedictions Of the daily
prayers said in the form of sill
emf prayer? IT. r" Tampa. Fla.l
ANSWER: A number of inter
eSting reasons are offered. The
Zohar is quoted as saying that if
these prayers are heard by man
they may not be heard in Heaven.
Thus they are recited inwardly
since they are a petition to the
Lord in Heaven. Another source
claims that silent prayer was in
stituted so that those who confess
their sins in the silent prayers
will not suffer embarrassment
from having their confessions
overheard. Others indicate that
silent prayers are proof of the
belief that the Almighty can hear
the silent meditations of man and
the content of his thoughts.
Chanting the prayers aloud would
indicate that the Lord could not
hear that which goes on in the
heart of man and it is a funda-
mental belief that Cd does not
know what takes place in the
human heart.

Mr.. Saunders lined up an i'm

throughout the country to serve
on the committee, including Col.
Lindberg, VIM. R. Hearst, Sen
ator Wash, Josephus Daniels,
Charles Dawes, Vice-President,

ren's bill was we'll timed. 1t was
introduced in February 1927, and
in May Lindberg leaped across
the ocean in one hop, thereby
making the world conscious of
the Importance of the airplane.
I was in the news room of the
Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk talk
ing to the staff of reporters, the
night of May Goth 1927 when
word was being awaited as to the
progress of Lindberg.
There is about five hours diff
ference in Norfolk and Paris
time. 1t was sensation when a
dispatch was brought in from the
teletype reporting that Lindberg
had landed at LIE Bourget field
Paris at 1921 p. m. Paris Time.
In one hop lasting 33 hours, 20
minutes and 80 seconds he had
flown $3.50 miles and won Ray

years later l talked to Col. Lind
berg by phone when he stopped
overnight with the Coast Guard
boys at Hatteras Inlet, and tried
to get him to stop over in Man

didn't stop on that trip, although
he said he would like to very
much.
Further developments of the

RECOGNITION OF THE
WRIGHT BROTHERS
BIZ VICTOR MEEKlNS

There is always so much o.
fact and fable connected with thc
heroic achievements of great
men, it is exceedingly difficult
after a lapse. of years to tell which
is which. Surely after a lapse OF
SO years, and even 25 years SO
many things transpire to obscure
recollections. 1t tempts me to set
down recollections of my own
which are clear in my mind at
this time, but which age soon
may dim.
l recall that as a small boy, !
went on a visit in the early 1900's
to Kill Devil Hills, when one
went by boat to the landing, and
then walked across the beach to
the Coast Guard Station, where
only a few homes stood. With
other lads, I climbed Kill Devil
Hills, and had pointed out to me
the shacks called the Flying
Mems houses" which were camp
and hanger of the Wright Broth
ers.
The years went along, and l
heard folks talking of their eX-
ploits-in 1908, in 1911 at Kill
Devil Hills. From time to time
through the years, various local
people referred to the airplane
as having been first flown in
Dare County. I was well ac-
quainted with Willie S. Dough,
Adam Etheridge, John T. Daniels,
William Cephas Brinkley and
John Moore, so long as they lived,
and knew them intimately.
In 1926 l had part in staging
the Dare County Homecoming,
the first and largest event of its
kind yet held on Roanoke Island,
and which eliminated in cere-
monies at Fort Raleigh, attended
by 5000 people at time when
everyone came to Manteo by
boat. Through an invitation ex-
tended by our new Congressman,
Lindsay Warren, Sir Esme How
ard then the British Ambassador
came to Roanoke Island to make
the principal address on August
18th, giving our event inter
national significance, and Win
ming for us tremendous publicity
benefits. After this, great pro-
motion and development of the
Dare County coastal area inn
mediately followed.
Visiting with me that week of
August 1926 were Ralph Poole,
and Charles w. Houston of the
! Virginian-Pilot. The three of US,
working newspapermen, h a q
listened to Alph Drinkwater tell
about the Wright Brothers, we
/ had been down on the dock
where Lieut.. Gus Montague COM
manded a small group of Naval
reserves on boat come down to
attend the celebration. We were
relaxing in Bradford Fearing's
warehouse on the dock, and all of
us were chattering about great
! things of mighty consequence,
with which Dare County folk
had done so little. AS usual, when
something ought to be done, came
forth the expression "Why the
Federal Government ought to put
up memorial to the Wrights at
Kill Devil Hills.
The Government Did II.
Now all of us fell to writing
stories right away about this sub
ject. I wrote to Lindsay Warren
about it. He wrote back he was
starting Immediately on the pro-
ject. He got in touch with Orville
Wright and got the facts. To
Lindsay Warren goes first credit
for this job. Next came w. O.
Saunders, noted Elizabeth City
publisher, who jumped in and or

His reply was 'tNot in a thousand
years."

inventor of an airplane had taken
time to look into the future of
the mammoth industry he Gre
ated.
