That any of them lived through the second winter to make their trial of religious freedom in America was indirectly the result of now almost forgotten acts of other men of other faiths, men who loved freedom for others as well as for and the perfidy of themselves one mai: who did not. That man w'as Thomas Hunt, a sea captain. In 1615, more than five years before the Pilgrims landed, Thomas Hunt w'as in command of one of Capt. John Smiths ships that explored the waters of the North Atlantic coast for fisheries. Capt. Hunt had a desire for money. easy money. He knew other ways of getting it than by catching codfish. Although it was against orders, Capt. Hunt took captive He twenty Pawtuxet Indians. planned to sell them into slavery. Spain. Hunt felt, would be a better market for his bronze- skinned slaves than England, w here Smith would be sure to hear about it. So it was at sunny Malaga he offered the unhappy captives for sale. Unluckily for the captain, there in were . who freecjom en0Ugh to protest violently. They were dark-robe- d frjars who ha(j the insight to see that as long as any man was enslaved, no other man could be really free. Besides insight, the frjars had courage. Capt.

Mrs. Hunt of the 61 passengers and members died when the United Air crew lines jet crashed into a residential area near Chicagos Midway Airport. Two other persons on the ground were killed in the crash and in the resulting fire. Five homes were destroyed. The safety board, noting the allegations of foul play which have been injected into the publicity surrounding this accident, said it found no evidence of any medical condition that would have incapacitated the crew or of any interference with the crew in the performance of their duties. The finding of elevated levels of car-- , bon monoxide and cyanide in some of the victims was consistent with death due to smoke inhalation in the conditions existing during the postcrash fire, the board added. had $10,000 in$100 bills inher purse when she died.

There he learned to speak English, There he also learned the kindness of the EngIish peope, their strengths and thejr weaknesses, Eventually Squanto was sent to Newfoundland in the company of another sea captain, Thomas Dermer, w ho was employed by Sir Ferdinando Gorges. Early in the year 1619, while the Pilgrims were still at Leyden, studying their maps and planning the Mayflower voyage, Squanto set out with Capt. Dermer for Cape Cod, but left him before reaching there and made his way to Pawtuxet. SUE JUDGES! SUE PROSECUTORS!

There was nothing to presage the far of the reaching importance Indian's liberty as he slipped out of sight and into the forests. Dermer could not know that taking Squanto home was one of the most significant actions of his life, nor that Squanto would come out of the gloomy forests as the saver of a new race of liberty loving people, and possibly one of the greatest teachers who ever lived. Historians are agreed that except for Squanto the Pilgrims could not have survived the first year. Squanto could speak English, he had traveled and worked in England. He had seen the Tower of London. And it is not unlikely he was fully aware of the persecutions the Pilgrims had undergone. Squanto came to Plymouth early in the year. Winter held a death nourished grip. The poorly Pilgrims were dying. At one time there were only seven well persons in the entire group. Squanto not only helped them with the unhappy business of burying the dead, but he also brought spiritual comfort. He spoke of the coming spring and the fragrant, waxy pink flowers that would blossom even before the snows were gone. A child of the wilds, Squanto knew how to get along.
