FIRST POW ERED FLIGHT JUST 55 YEARS AGO KITTY HAWK, NT. C —Man is reaching for the moon 'barely half a century after he‘ first succeeded fn getting off the ground in power ed flight. The first flight by th e Wright brothers was only 120 feet long and lasted only 12 seconds, but it ushered in a new era. The 55th anniversary of the first flight on December 17, 1903 was observed here with U. S. Senator A. S. (Mike) Monroney of Oklahoma, chairman of the Senate’s aviation subcommittee, as speaker. , ... j A jet flyover, arranged by the Air Force Association, featured the celebration at Kill Devil Hills now the site of the impressive National Memorial honoring Or ville and Wilbur Wright, who cam e to the Outer Banks of North Carolina to test the flying machine they built in their machine shop Jj/ Dayton, Ohio. The anniversary exercises began at th e Wright monument at 10:30 a. m. with a concert by the Eliza beth City High School Band, which traditionally plays for the cele bration, and conducted with a Dutch luncheon at th e Dare County | Shrine Club at 12:30 p. m. w* winter rwchiid PRESIDENT F. PIERCE put .a UP CHRISTMAS TREE IN TECS #HttTK HOUSE IN THE i JTea xtj Roosevelt awnost rode roughshod over the Ckrlatxnaa ■ tree in his drive to conserve the • nation'.-; forests. But two little i bfiys put the Christmas spirit—and the tree —back in the White House. 1 Thp Christmas tree was well i established- in the United States . when TR became president. ~ Research experts wan The World j Book Encyclopedia say a Harvard professor named Charles Follen • set up one of the first known trees • in America in 1832. President Franklin Pierce put . up a tree- in the White House in the 1850’s to entertain the Sunday school of the New York Avenue r, Presbyterian Church. And Presi . dent Benjamin Harrison con tinued the custom in the 1890’s. ; But some modern-day .Scrooges , convinced Roosevelt that the c(it . ting of Christmas trees would I soon deplete the nation's forests. TR promptly banned the tradition at the White House. However, th e old Roughrider forgot to‘consult his young sons. 1 Archie and Quentin cared little about presidential edicts—and less about conservation. They smuggled a tree into the mansion .on Pennsylvania Avenue and set it up in Archie’s' room. - Th e president relented, and ever ;inec, the White House has had an indoor Christmas tree. TR’s concession also sent the Christmas tree industry soaring beyond the dreams of one of its founders—a Catskill farmer who brought his trees to market in New York City in 1851: And it helped pave th e way for a new custom—the community Christ mas tree., o In 1924, a ,Norway spruce was planted near the White House and later dedicated as “a national living Christmas tree.” Two years later, d giant Cali fornia redwood in King’s Can yon national park, named Ge neral Grant after the Civil War hero, was dedicated at the “Nat ion’s Christmas Thee”. Reaching 267 feet into the sky from a base 40 feet thick, the tree is the second largest in th e world.- Every year, nearby townspeople j and join in a holiday ser- , Vice and sing carols at the bas e oi I the sequoia, which was growing on the mountain slope when Christ .vas born in Bethlehem. ••***■*** <•«*«.«««««.*■ If\risb«as May we extend the wish thot yours will be glad dened a little by our appreciation and good wishes.
