VIKINGS OF ALL LANDS
, General Umbcrto Nobile's )olar flight, designed to re
.; dotmd to the greater glory of Fascist Italy,' seems to be
' turning into an exploit .which provides great gobs of glory
i for Communist Russia,' which is everything that Fascist
Italy is not. If it were not for the Russians it is safe to
say that Nobile himself would be the only survivor of
...thn luckless expedition. A ship named for one of Bolshe
vism's great leaders,' Krassin, has snatched seven men from
' the grip of death and restored them to the service of Fus-
'cism s leader, Mussolini, llns, lo be sure, docsn t prove
anything about' the respective imerits of these two divergent
social philosophies. ' It does reemphasize one thing, though,
i a platitude that we find easy to forget; the old, hackneyed
truth that differences of nationality and class have a way
i of becoming insignificant when men come up against the
; 1 fundamental realities. There are men who are fitted to
- stay at home and do the uneventful work of. the world, and
..-there are men who were made for daring adventures, hair
....breadth chances and flirtation with death. Up on the
world's highest rim, where desolate ice' fields stretch out
like the empty plains of a forgotten planet, there has been
; unfolding an epic tale of couragd, hardihood and peril.
ISome men, vanishing into the void, have been seen no more;
others, given up for lost, have,' boon caught up at the very
last by adventurers to whom the menacing northland was
but a parade ground for the. primitive virtues of daring and
endurance. Russian, Italian, Norwegian, Swedish, French
: the limits of nation and class were transcended. They
-were all Vikings. That strange human urge to forget one-
helf for the sake of another gripped them all. All of us are
the gainers by this. There is never too much unity in this
( ?world. The vision of brotherhood is all too easily forgot
i ten. Hie liime may not be far , off when, in the unpredict-
able shift of things, certain of these men will be at one nn
. other's throats, crying out battle shouts about God, home
i. .and fatherland; ypt(i for the moment, they have clasped
"(.hands and we have had a vision.. Complaints that the en-
lire Italia expedition was a useless waste seem puerile in the
v face of this. Of course, it was worth it. Visions are rare.
The world has more brave and good men than we dream,
r. It ,cajii always Hpnre a few if their deaths will light once
i more the glowing altar fires of unity and concord. Those
men with 'unpronounceable names Limborg, Ch'uchnovsky
, and the rest are outriders on the great advance, which is
: oi ton slowed, up but which never stops. They all were Vik-
ings. And they demonstrated something the Vikings novor
rknew that all men may yet be brothers.

. Iii the middlo of the famous Boston Common is a pool
-.where little children go bathing on hot summer da vs. The
thing is very informal ; most of the youngsters corns from
very poor iainihes, and most of the eostimies are quite
.sketchy. Hut Boston,' staid as it is, is used lo them and
. .doesn't mind. The other day, though, a stout and testy
gentleman happened along and was horrified. He sum
, moiied a group of six-year-olds and harranged them : "You
-children should bo ashiVmed for appearing in such indecent
attire. If I had anything to say about it I would forbid
.. you to come on the Common. It's positively disgusting what
".decent people have to stand for these clays." We are very.
voi-y nappy to report that a group of older people, sitting
on nearby benches, promptly arose and tossed the evil-minded
old meddler into the pond.
Qodo Evening: "J-6lksv
Well, well, well

and give ua Poseyvilte ever' time!
Gosh, fellers, it's th' bunk to walk
down the main stem of the metrop

Boy. this Is a great day fer
owimmin' but the moths have
munched on our'swlmmin' suit and
the law fer indecent exposure is
dern drastic.
Horse Bromley of Medford called
ye ed. up a few moments ago Just
to remind us that the American
Legion convention will bo held
there August 2, 3, and 4 . Thanx,
Horso, we'll git our rest-now.
Kids are beginnln' to appear on
the main stem with shaved heads
and gosh we envy 'em. We'll never
forget when our pop took a pair
nf sheep shoars and clipped the
hirsute adornment off'n our dome.
Wow, but it felt good, and Just
think a feller didn't hafta comb his
hair in the a. m.
It's too dern hot to write a
lengthy colyum today and besides
the fish are bitin.

their seventh heaven this week

MUSIC
Ah, who can tell sweet music's tale?
Who follow back its golden trail?
The rose-lipped shell on ocean's shore
Will sing its music o'er and o'er;
Will hum ita murmur of the sea,
And echo storms of wildest glee;
A melody that's never lost.
Though on an alien beach 'tis tossed. . .
For music is a foreign bird
That in our language has no word; .
It sings the song's of unseen lands
Above, beyond our earthly strands;
A soft, a sweet ethereal rain
Akin to joy, akin to pain;
A wave that breaks on earthly bars.
But brings the glory of the stars.
