Traveling Editor Leaves Washington Continues T rip South and West After completing a trip of 4900 miles hnd visiting 15 states, passing through and stopping for service in more than 500 cities, clllages and towns one can truthfully say that America is the greatest country on earth. A great measure of prosperity is available to every citizen willing to work and earn his own way. You witness some poverty and slum areas, but in the main America is building for the future and will dlslpate the unfavorable living conditions, water and air polutlon, find solutions to the many internal problems, and all Americans, of every race and creed will receive benefits therefrom. In some of the cities and towns, some protestors are to be seen. Some of the longhalrs you find in most places. But in the main it is wonderful to see the ambitious, hard working, conclenlous Godfearing American plying his trade, with a smile on his face. This is the America we are building. Her future is bright. Her light shines forth to the world in rays of sunshine and light that strengthens the power and force of Democracy. A united America can and will be the strength to unlock the doors of oppression and set men free throughout the world. The poets have said, freedom and reason make us men, take these away, what are we then? Just mere animals and just as well the beast may think of heaven and hell. America, America, send thy beacon light abroad; America America, keep thy land a fertile sod. America, America, worship God who dwells on high. America, America, then thy glory will never die. DID YOU KNOW? man may fail many times, but he isnt a failure until he begins to blame someone else. - Burroughs A i ' k The fabulous nine day trip of the Astronauts, Nell Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin Aldrln, to the moon and back, a travel distance of 12 million miles has had a more profound effect upon the mind of man, and nations the world over than any of man's great achievements of the past 1,000 years or more. Heros in their own right Armstrong and Aldrln, as they stepped upon the moons surface measureably changed the course of history and opened up new avenues for space travel and inter planetary flights that will challenge mans intelligence and lmmaglnatlon for centuries. World wide acclaim doesn't come easy, and without sacrifice. The eight years of planning and successful space navigation has cost much in human and material The great personal substance. challenge and courage of the Astronauts was a do or die decision that they willingly accepted for their country and world betterment. Years of training, and other successful flights, Increased their faith and confidence that their voyage would be completed as planned, and should success crown their efforts mankind and the world would be rewarded beyond meas- ure. Amidst war, unrest, and politi- cal upheavels around the world, the moon landing has brought more profound respect and honor to America than was thought possible a few years ago. President Nixons statements to them while on the moon are significant: "This is the greatest week in the history he of the world since creation, declared because of what happed this week, the world is bigger infinitely. And as a result of what you have done, the worlds never been closer together. God bless these men and those who blazed the trails for them to follow. May the honor and glory of their tremendous venture be one of the great stepping stones that will lead to everlasting peace, and more sincere love and appreciation by Americans, for America. 1 |
