_V_OL._I_N_O_.4 5---~ ·w·rLMETTE. ILLINOIS, DECEMBER 14, 1928 Dick Enjoys First Ride in Airplane; Looks Over Chicago Sunday, December 2, our family went out to the National Air Transport on 6Srd street and Cicero avenue, Chicago. Dad hinted slightly on the way out that he was ~olng to take an airplane ride. When we got out there the fir~t thing I saw was a big Ford tri-motored monoplane. There were all descriptions of planes. We looked around and saw many dlfte~nt monor;o!anes. While we were examining a luxurious "land and sea" plane·. a small "junker" plane came in. It had a wing ~pread of about eighteen feet. Suddenly Dad asked a man in charge how much a ride was and he said it was tlve dollars a ride over the heart of Chicago. Soon one of the big tri-motored planes came down. Dad bought a ticket and we immediately went inside. 7'1e were to go over the heart of th~ Joop, a 25-mile ride. The plane would seat twelve passengt·rs and was well furnished. I sat up near the side motor of the right wing. W e had to wait about five minutes be fore the plane was full enough to make it pay. The pilot and the mechanic sat up in front. They "jazzed" thf> motor and we stafteil out to the take off. I wondered If I would e\·er rt-ach ground whole. We "taxied" to the north end of the ft4tld and then we had to wait because the traffic was heavy. The flagman gave us the signal to turn left. We turned left and about a block further we turned around. Then we began to go faster and faster till the tall lifted up and soon the wheels left the ground so slowly nnd, evenly that we didn't even noti ct> it. We cHmbed rapidly and soon we wt-rt> going along at 100 miles an h our. Oh! We were In an air pocket and w dropped a few teet. The houses began tn look like doll houses. We "aw a deep quarry and many sand companies. We pa::; ·ed nver Michigan avenue and the . cars seemed to be b ead~. When we passed over the Jake shore line It was a crooked ·.orkscrew and th e lake was calm. There was a tog so w e couldn't see very well. I was getting accustomed to the " feel" ·~f the plane. W were looki ng ju~t ns hard a we could. rushing from one !-lide ,f tht:: plane to tht> other. \\·e got a very tlift'erent idea nf the city from the air. ·we near~:d tht- th·ld and began to sett le lower and low t l'. Th t> motot· was shut off and we droppf'rl so rapidly that my h ea rt was in my nl(1uth. I had the feeling of being pitched ow:r th t> front of the pla.nP . We landed slowly and evenly.

Grammar is one of the t-:-::;entlal things to most any man or woman of today. Many peopl paid no attention to grammar in their schoo.l days, aftt>q~:ards wishing they had. It h elps one ln business ·and socially, too. Well educated people u~e. if you will notice, better English than th e uneducated ones and therefore are h eld in higher esteem in both the social and business worlds. Some children may think of grammar as a dull subject. But when they get older they will realize that it is important to know the corr ect way of speaking. Imperfect English including !j!lang always !'ltamps one as uneducated. -If one will study it in the right way, one wlll find grammar an intt·rt>:stinJ:?; suhjeC't.
