VALUE OF COMMUNITY ACTION
“One touch of Nature make a world kin” was ex
pressed yesterday under the impulse of a touch of tender
sentiment when practically every citizen of Seward who
was able to do so gathered at the site of the new cemetery
and there expressed their remembrance of those who have
gone before by clearing an dedicating a plot of ground.
The common purpose served to attract mankind from
purely selfish pursuits and allow of expression of the ties
of fellowship which bind the community
The spirit in which everyone plunged into the big task
of cutting out, piling and burning the great logs and raz
ing the tangled underbrush bespoke the sincerity of those
who wished to give an expression of their appreciation of
the valiant men and women who were numbered among
those who gave their all for the nation
Such occasions offer opportunity for the expression
of the community spirit which goes so far toward speed
ing up progress and binds the integral parts of society
into a valuable whole.
GOOD SAMARITAN OF THE ALASKA RAILROAD
Again George Colwell has proved himself the Good
Samaritan of the Alaska Railroad. It has become a habit
with the roadmaster. Saturday morning a child of
Harold Painter was stricken with a sudden attack which
demanded that she be taken to the Anchorage hospital
immediately. Within four hours after the emergency be
came known the chilld arrived at the Anchorage hospital,
having been conveyed by speeder.
Mr. Colwell has performed such a service on many
occasions and thus saved life and suffering All those
who love children will join in appreciation of his service.
King Alfonso of Spain did not pardon a murderer on
Easter this year, as has been his custom. This does not
mean that the monarch has grown hard-boiled. In all
Spain there was no criminal under sentence of death.
Mrs. Ruth Snyder during her sensational trial for
murdering her husband received 165 proposals of mar
riage from men in various parts of the country. Which
is not strange as it might appear, owing to the fact that
she is the beneficiary of $96,000 insurance on her late hus
band’s life.
By taking up personally the question of providing
farm relief at the next session of Congress, Coolidge put
a sprag in the wheels of the Lowden boom. It is believed
that the action of the President in demanding that a real
farm relief and not a political dodge, such as was con
tained in the McNary-Haughen bill, will go far toward
fortifying Coolidge’s chances for the nomination in the
next election.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS AS TO
LINDBERGH’S FAMOUS FLIGHT
AND ARRIVAL IN FRANCE
PARIS, May 31. (/P)—While in
Paris, Captain Charles A. Lindbergh,
the American youth who showed the j
world how to fly from New \ ork to
Paris alone, paid his first Paris call |
to the mother of Captain Nungesser, j
missing trans-Atlantic flyer. Follow- j
ing that, he called his mother, in De
1 troit Michigan over the long distance j
i telephone which was the first France!
to America call in all history. Dur
ing the conversation Mrs. Lindbergh
expressed her happiness over her
boy’s success and safety. When the
youthful hero met Mmo. Nungesser
she hugged him as she would her
own, and told him how glad she was
that he had landed safely. France
has gone crazy over the young flyer
acclaiming him as the world’s hero.
PARIS, May 31. <7P)—Wearing his
usual wide grin, he was seemingly
innocent of the fact that the whole
world was at his feet awaiting to
acclaim him as a hero.
Parisian crowds thronged the
I
bassy and cheered the American for;
streets in front of ’he American Em
hours. He drew from Statesmen, the!
Press and all Nations, laudatory com
ment. Every minuie there were new j
batches of telegram- brought to the Em
bassy for the noted guest “Slim
Lindbergh.” Germany, Italy, Sw( den
and practically every nation in its;
papers and thru its diplomats con
gratulated the man of the Lour. Ar
riving without cloths except his av
iation clothes Young Lindbergh was
taken in hand by Myron T. Herrick
the American Ambassador to France.
He was housed at the American
Embassy. During a brief interview"
with newspaper men he admitted he :
grew tired during the flight over the ;
ocean but said he was not exhausted
when the trip was over. He toRi a
humorous story of swooping down I
close to a fishing smack off the coast :
of Ireland when he was doubtful of;
his position and the scare which he '
threw into the fishermen although it I
was not intentional. He continued '
thru the darkness and finally saw
search lights of the French flying
field. Upon his arrival at the field.
there ensued, he declared, the most:
hazardous part of his journey when
180,000 wild Frenchmen rushed over
the field at his plane to greet him.
He said he was terrified bv the sea
of people running toward him. He
remembered little after that until he
found himself in Ambassador Her
rick’s home. He laughed as he fin- (
ished his story and said he didn’t see'
any sense in flying back. A move
was started in Congress yesterday to
award the youth with a Congression
al Medal of Honor, the highest award
of the United States.
