THAT WHICH MAKES A MAN GREAT
When a man achieves some exalted position it is the
custom to begin casting about seeking causes and in
fluences which have left the imprint of indelible traits
and directed his course. •
Just now President Franklin D. Roosevelt is proving
the most interesting theme in contemporary literature
and the public press.
While this has been more or less true of every great
President, seldom has America been offered a more in
spiring picture than the family group surrounding Pres
ident Roosevelt, each member in turn offering some par
ticular contribution to a composite portrait of the idea
American family. < . ,
Of these none are more luminous than that oi tne
Mother Roosevelt, to whom the President, in subtle rec
ognition of filial homage, accords the position of honor
at his right.
In perfect consonance with the ideal, Mrs. Roosevelt,
the wife, and herself a mother of ideal American sons
and daughters, willingly accords this honor preference
to the woman on whose bosom was nurtured a man who
has become the nation’s inspiration and its promised
savior.
The family <moup picture could properly be accoided
the title “America” in all that it expresses of the ideal
family group, ranging from solar youth down Through
the line to the saintly matron emblematic of all that is
spiritual and sweet in her softly-composed features,
which reveal behind the regal calm such a pride as a
mother must feel when she has seen her only son soar to
exalted heights and yet cling tenaciously to those mar
velous human qualities which have never lost their lustie
in his passing onward. . » ..
And one sees this outstanding quality oi well-order
ed lives reflected in the features of the two \oung
shoots from the rugged trunk, which in turn passes to
their young wives and the husband of the Roosevelt
daughter.
There is a sermon for youth in the group picture in
that it serves to reinstate the fundamental truths that
fame and happness are not found in frivolous abandon,
lack morals and the tinselled unrealities now so vividly
sought by many.
Thus while we have gained a great President we
have been doubK endowed with a reenthronement of
American traditions in all which they offer in idealism,
pun tv, simplicy. culture and true democracy.
The greatest honor possible for Mother Roosevelt is
to say that she was an ideal American mother, and no
honor her illustrious son might achieve can dim the halo
which crowns her silvered locks.
Her creed was simple, as she expresses it: “ . . . My
ambition for him. . . and to him, too, it was the highest
ideal I could hold up before my boy—to grow to be like
his father, straight and honorable, just and kind, an up
standing American.”

TWO-PLACE COLLF.CIfiN
i PLANE IS ASSEMBLED
! HERE FOB W. E. DUNKLE
“You can’t keep a good man
down,” laughingly said popular
Jack Waterworth, pilot and one
of the owners of the Star Air Ser
vice of Anchorage, who landed at
the Seward Airport Sunday from
! his base. It’s getting to be a habit
with Pilot Jack to fly over to Sew
ard every two weeks to slip a new
plane off a steamer from the
south, assemble it and fly it away.
The plane is a vest-size edition
powered with a two-cylinder 36
j horse-power motor. Pilot Jack ex
! pected to have the “flying carpet”
; ready for the air today.
The plane is a two-place Aeronca ;
Collegian, lands at 25 miles an;
hour and cruises at 70; uses two ;
gallons of gas per hour and has '■
a cruising radius of 200 miles or i
more.
The Aeronca will be used for!
students who desire inexpensive ;
solo flying and will also be used j
taking miners, trappers and pros- ;
pectors to small out of the way |
i places that are not accessible by j
j larger planes with high landing '
I speed.
J The ship was purchased by W.
i E. Dunkle prominent Willow Creek
I mine operator, himself a pilot
! and airplane enthusiast; Mr.
[ Dunkle now possesses two private
I planes, while the Star Air Service
i have three commercial planes and
i recently began operating on regu
I lar schedule throughout Interior
| down-river points. It is the intent
of the company to acquire and
add the Collegian plane to their
fleet in the near future.
Pilot Johnny Moore, who is now
flying for the Star Air Service,
flew Pilot Jack here Sunday and
is due to return today from An
chorage bringing a pair of skiis
for the Colleg&n which were inad
vertently shipped to Anchorage on I
the Sunday freight train.
Enroute to Seward Pilot Jack i
reports he saw a herd of at least i
i 50 moose grazing in the upper Rus- !
I sian lake district. j
