Have you ever heard of Galbraith Perry Rogershe distinguished himself by flying the first airpUnited States. He made the trip from coast to coaover forty-nine days. Actually, he was in thethree days, ten hours, and a few minutes.

In the meantime he crashed thirty-nine times.unscheduled stops before he landed in Pasadena,only original parts left on the plane were the ruddrip pan on the engine.

Mr. Rogers did not have much going-.for him inexcept perhaps perseverance. His determination tgoal carried him through.

It is sad to see a young personr So excited aout with an ambitious goal and then later give UpHow much more wonderful it is for someone toproblems that he will face in order to accomplisha reward- it is to see a young sailor plan his fqoals, and then overcome the temptations thatplanr so that he can carry out that plan.
