A m erican birth rig h t” th e president says they have been
robbed of.
T h e public relations officer in a le tte r to th e press this
wreek h as this to say:
“For those from the east »ho are picked up in urban districts
and set down in the west where conditions are much different, the
experience will unquestionably confer a broadening influence. In ad
dition these young men. with life still ahead of them, will be given a
taste of a new background that will, in all probability, lead many of
them to return in future years to settle in thi region.”
“This will be advantageous for Oregon. Many tourists who visit
our section come after they have reached a state of financial inde
pendence which carries with it. in most cases, maturity of age and at
tachment to some home locality el ewhere. With the young man of
the Civilian Conservation Corps, this is different. They have not at
tained settled age nor do they have any considerable quantity of the
world's goods.
“Their years of activity and responsibility are still ahead of them.
They seek opportunity. The climate, cenery and natural resources
of the west will appeal to them. Most of them will return east at the
end of their enrollment periods but many will come back to this part
of the United States in future years as settlers. Oregon has her- an
opportunity for much valuable advertising that she should not overlook."

th a t trav elin g by air has a t last becom e as popular in Am

It’s only six years since Lindy flew the A tlantic. T h at
really gave com m ercial aviation its first g re at s ta rt in Am

both of m ilitary planes and of com m ercial flying, although
aviation is th e one great advance in hum an progress which
all th e world concedes to be of A m erican origin. T he w ar
forced m ilitary aviation on us. but th ere is a vast difference
betw een m ilitary planes and com m ercial flying. M ilitary
planes have to be swift and m aneuverable; safety is a m inor
consideration. C om m ercial planes have to be safe, first.
Most of th e difficulties and accidents of early com m ercial
aviation in th is country were due to th e effo rt to m ake
m ilitary planes do work they were no t designed to do.
Now w e have developed com m ercial, p asse n g e r-c a rry

portion of accid en ts to m ileage is considered. T hey are
equipped with in stru m en ts which enable them to fly as safe
ly by night o r in fogs as in broad daylight. By radio they
are in touch with the ground at all tim es, receiving w eather
rep o rts and flying in stru ctio n s and. lately, even being able
to ca rry on conversation with d is ta n t points and o th er
