Editorial CONGRATULATION The Post desires to extend to the county commissioners its heartiest congratulations for their good judgment in seleeting tho very highest tyiie of construction for the paving of three or more miles of the county roads. Uids were opened on June 14 for of certain tho proposed paving stretches of road in the vaeinity of Hooper, Plain City and Far West, the contractors submitting proposals on various thickness of both bituminous and Portland cement concrete pavements. After tabulation hy the engineer and very thorough consideration on the part of the board, the contract was awarded to Ora Hundy on his low hid for Uxft in. Portland cement concrete pavement. The county received a remarkably low bid for this high type of ronstruc-tior- i. Portland cement concrete of this thickness and design has lawn adapted by practically all the big road building states of the country, nearly ninty jkt cent of all the highway paving which has been laid in the United States during the past few years being Portland cement concrete, which in itself is endorsement enough for the selection of this type by the commission.

Then he went to New York for the reception unequaled in the history of Americas biggest city. In his address of presentation of the medal, in. Washington last Saturday, the president referred to Lindy as the same unspoiled youth that captivated Europe, lie also praised the flier for his refusal to commercialize his feat. Lindbergh has indicated that he will not accept a movie or theatrical engagement but intended to devote his time to the cause of aeronautics. When Lindbergh aiTives in St. .nuis he will be tendered the preai-- t cncy of an airplane corporation. In this new position the lone flier, who gave valuable assistance in the designing of the "Spirit of St. IouisM or the transatlantic flight, will have an opportunity to render great assistance to the developing and carry-n- g out plana of placing America, aa .he first in aeronautics of the wdrld. This will be a far greater service to humanity and his country than falling for the lavish contracts for the movies or the stage, which would, although bring great financial return to the young flier, would have a tendency to cheapen him in the eyes of Lhe American people and he would soon fall as an idol of American youth.
