SHOT ? . . no axraMDt
"On the 19th of Aprii in W as
every school boy knowa, Paul* Revere
set out on his midnight tide ooi warn
"ttthe country folk to be up and to
arm." The next morning, April 19th,
stiii observed asa holiday in my L|ptno
Common weakih of Maaaadrascttts, the
country foijk met the British troops
and the first shot of oar Revocation*
nry War was fired.
Throughout the 161 years since that
day there has been a friendly taft in
itetise di&puie between the people of
Lcxingltou and those* of Concord as to
in which town that fint shot was fired
Concord preempted ilts e'ftim by erect
ing the Bottle Monument, for which
occasion Ralph Waldo Emerson wrvwe
his stirring verses:
"By It he rude bridge that arched th-i
flood,
Their flag to April's breese un
furled.
Here once the embattled faitacrs
stood >
And fired the shot he.ord round tb
world." V
Congressman Sol Bloom of New
York, who got into tfce headlines by
challenging the atory that George
Washington once ihrew a silver dol
lar Across the Rappahannock, now is
trying to find out which town has
the rights of it
Lk>wn Ea.it we setred it long ago by
calling it tho "bat-tie of lattngton

HEBOIKE . . . . of tka air
I've done a hit of flying oa "liner"
airplanes in the past few* years, and
have hfad a chance ??> see and f/dk
with ? number of the flying steward
esses. I don't think there's ft finer
jf air
It didn't surprise mo At all to read
olf the heroie conduct of NelKe Grang
er, stewardess of the "Sun Racer
which crashed in the Pennsylvania
mountains the other day. Theae fly*
iug hosfesseg /ire "tibe stuff of which
heroines are made. i
It isnt easy to get one of these;
job*, but there'H be a kit more of
rhem open for the right kind of ^rls,
and I can think of few more inter
esting and exciting careers open to
women.
WEATHER k?*
Trc Federal Weatrer Bureau at
Washington has always been extrane
ly cautious about making long-range
predictions. Its observers have a
world-wide reputation for scientific
accuracy that they do nol want to
rose. Therefore, when the Bureau let
the word got out the ether day, that
it is now possible to forecast the
weather two weeks ahead, I took it
(luito seriously.! o
Up our way, at Canton, Masaaehu
ictta, there's a long-range weather
LV.jftaster who predicted last Pebru
t tie he floods we had in NeW.Eng
]l 3cm Marych and April. Now H.

Forecasting heavy rains for the Wtc

S The real test will come only through
