Every day heroes are made— tho m any heroes go thru
life unsung. In the current news dispatches we find an
aviator m aking a hurried night flight to bring serum to
a little girl in Albuquerque, New Mexico from El Paso,
Texas. The child was threatened with cerebro-spinal
m eningitis and the only hope of saving her life lav in the
delivery of the toxin at the risk of the life of the aviator.
E. C. Quick, took the chance and made good. Again, in the
far northern reaches of Siberia other pilots sacrificed their
lives to fly to the relief of the lost relief plane which has
been m issing for weeks.
A school teacher in Salem plunged into the icy w aters of
the W illam ette the other day to save a 10 year old boy
from going to his tleath in that stream .
All these people'braved death to save a hum an life yet

chests—yet their acts were as g reat as those of many
whose deeds have been proclaimed.

forth a luxurious crop. The prospector and the miner will
be given an abundance of water with which to prosecute
their work. All in all the heavy snow will prove a great
blessing to the state if only t .«ce$si\ely high w ater can be
avoided.

The heckling of the town of Grant s Pass by the Med
ford News, over the snow shovelinp sounds like one child
berating another for not doing som ething he should have
done and at the same time taking praise for having done
it himself.
Judging from the editorial expressions of the News
we take it that the News, like the expression of the black
crow, wouldn’t like G rants Pass if it was good.
