New York Charter Member The „ Indiana League of Home Dailies “ A PROUD MOTHER.— • Whose heait wouldn’t beat a • little faster, whose blood w-ouldn't — tingle a little more as it coursed ■* through its human channels when • he heard the- words spoken by a ■ proud mother direct to her son «. many thousands of miles away in _ the ice wastes of Little America, 2 Antarctica? 2 The mother of Commander Rich--2 ard Byrd drove more than 200 ■“ miles from her home in Winchester «• to Richmond where, over a radio “ hook-up with WGY of the General 2 Electric company in Schenectady, • she talked direct to her far-off son: 2 “I have missed you terribly, my Z precious son, but I always have an 2 abiding faith in what you are do--2 ing and in your return, you and 2 all your men. 1 pray for them “ every day when I prav for you.” AM •“ Her son. her boy, but yet a hero • doing heroic things that are estab- *> lishing a great reputation for him- _ self and his country; yet how 2 humble he must have felt in the ~ presence of those expressed words of a mothers abiding faith! She dreams of the day and holds • her breath until the moment when • her son lands in New York. “It ■> will be a gloriously happy time for • us.” she said. And so like the de- „ voted mother, her heart has been ~ touched by the appreciation of • others for her son. “I was so “ proud and touched at the testi- — menials of your men. That pleas- — ed me more than anything that — has ever been said of you.” The faith of our fathers is great but the faith of our mothers is • monumental and has wrought more 2 miracles than the world knows “ ought of. » If the farmers of Wabash county can make more money raising sugar beets than they can with any Z other product there is certainly no J reason why the farmers of this 2 county and especially those within 2 hauling distance of the factory "■ cannot do so. And they can. We can sight you to numerous farmers «• who made as much as their land — could be sold for from this seasons crop. The campaign is on in earnest now to secure acreage for 2 1931) and it certainly deserves the sincerest effort of all who are in- — terested in the good of the com — munity, for besides being a great 2 aid to the fanners it furnishes 2 labor for hundreds of men and if •* by any chance the factory should ” not operate, it will make a differw ence in our income in this terrl- « tory of several hundred dollars a year. Several senators, including JohnMB «• son, Moses and Borah still seem «• to believe the propaganda they .. preached so earnestly in 192f1. that 2 the United States has no right to " muddle in foreign affairs and are 2 planning slrenous opposition to 2 the world court. It may get real 2 interesting before they are through ** for in the old days it was talked ■“ so long and loud and insistently ■ that many still feel that to stay •• out of the European tangle now- is I *• the surest way to stay out of
