SELF SUPPORTING PLANES
Edsel Ford, generally re-
garded, as a level-headed and
prosaic young business man,
turns prophetic. Flying has
gotten into his blood, though
he is only a maker of planes,
not a pilot.
"The dangerous period of
experiment in aviation is now
passed," he declares.
"The airplane today is able
to support itself in the air me-
chanically and financially.
With proper business manage-
ment-. the near future will
bring a sound, rapid growth
in aviation, especially in aerial
transportation."
It doesn't require any spe-
cial gift of prophecy, however,
to size the thing up that way.
A great change has come
about in the last year. Avia-
tion as a sport, an art and an
industry is leaping ahead.
The public senses the situa-
tion and adds enthusiasm. It
realizes at last that flying is
not only thrilling but safe. Un-
skilled amateurs and rickety
old planes still crash; but as
Ford, points out, with a skill-
ed pilot and a modern plane
the flying human takes no
more chances than he would in
an automobile.
The Borger Bulldog); l(iseball
In one oi Ernest Thompson Se-
ton's books the other day I noticed
the following saying, which was ac-
credited to an old philosopher ol' j nine trounced the Western Carbon
America's backwoods days. "It's a; Co to (0 u Friday evening, at

An interesting and beneficial
chapel program was presented by
two of Burger's prominent speak-
ers, Rev. O. W, Carter and Attorney
(J. C. McBride in the Borger high
school auditorium Monday morning
at !) o'clock. <
Rev. Carter gave a short talk on
Ills subject, "We must meditate on
tho high things of life and not the
low ones." His iremarks impressed
the student body very much.
Mr. McBride gave olio of the most
interesting, beneficial and forcible
talkji ever presented in the J high
school auditorium. His talk was on
good citizenship, the subject being
suggested by Mr. Baker. He said
our mothers and fathers should be
appreciated more by us and we
should honor, j-espect and obey them
for tho numerous tilings they have
done for us iu leaching us good
l< a bits. Attorney McBride staled that
in this day the younger set was drift-
ing away from the teaching of their
parents, seeking only excitement and
not building a path to good citizen-
ship. Before it. is too late we should
stop and think what we are doing.
He also told some interesting fact3
of the educational advantages of to-
day and why we should use them.
.Mr. McBride stated that illiteracy
war. the curse of a nation, and edu-
cation was its defense.
Principal Baker made several au-
nt u.ncements and the students pass-
ed to their second hour class.
regular meeting last Thursday in the
Spanish room. No initiations were
•h^ld, but two new members were
present. The members of the club
enjoyed a Spanish play entitled "The
Three Bears," a.id afterwards two
interesting games were played.
The next meeting, will be held at
the regular time. Any new members
who wish to join are invited. The
initiation committee says, "The
longer you stay out the harder it
will be." All members ai*e urged to
be present next Thursday.
Dramatic Club Entertained.
The members of the Dramatic club
were entertained last Thursday in
the auditorium, by the presentation
of a one net play entitled, "The Beau
of Bath." The play was directed by
one of the club members, Mary Leo
Freeman.
By giving these small plays we
hope to keep the interest of the
members of the club and in addition
we hope to receive good frorii the
training received. Every week we in-
tend to have a short program and
every member is urged to be present.

OIL AND LEGISLATION
The novel friendliness shown
by Congress to projects in-
volving government owner-
ship may be a little deceptive.
It isn't likely that the aver-
age Senator or Representative
is any more in favor of public
ownership and operation, in
principle, than he was last
year or the year before. But
when it comes to a vote on the
disposition of Muscle Shoals or
the federal merchant marine,
or even the investment of pub-
lic money in new projects like
Boulder Dam, the law-maker
votes with Elk Hills and Tea-
pot Dome on his mind. He does
not want to give any impress-
ion just now what he's trying
to alienate any public resour-
ces.
HIGH PRESSURE
There are too many break
downs among American busi-
ness men, says an eminent
neurologist. Too many good
men dropping out of the ranks.
What's the trouble? Too
milch working at high speed,
wearing out body and mind.
Not enough leisure and recrea-
tion. Business is put first and
health last. It should be the
other way. When it isn't, na-
ture punishes the offender.
This high-pressure career
mania is killing individuals,
lowering the nation's health
and retarding progress.
What to do? Mostly, be
sensible. Do what you know
you should to keep well. If you
don't know, ask your doctor.
If you want signs, look out
for "a disturbed sense of well-
being, increasing weariness
and and a gradual failure of
tfoncentrfttion." When they
warn you, lay off.
