Newspaper Page Text< THURSDAY, OCT 13, 1949 The Butterfly’s Trail By Albert Mary Thweatt Thought For the Week: It you were to examine a pilot of one of the great air liners, would never ask him how long he has been a pilot. You would “Sir, how many hours in the air have you?” The true measure of pilot is hours of flying. Hours on the ground may be spent friends what he would like to do WHEN and IF, but hours in the mean ability, experience and competency. This same truth applies for a good father, mother, teacher, chant, writer, doctor, lawyer or minister. Your experience starts you begin to do the thing you are now talking about.” Christening Little Reginald Forsyth May, age 2 months has the honor being the first baby christened by Rev.
