Aviator Saved from â€"~â€"â€" Accident by Effort of American Legion _ He said that the danger of radical speech came in the:â€"suppression of it. Thanks of an aviator, hopelessly lost in the low hanging fog and who was able to safely land his mail and two passengers, â€"on . a landing _ field that had been marked by the Amérâ€" ican Legion, paid the post in a manâ€" ner that words cannot tell for underâ€" taking this civic activity. § The story is told by Edward J. Norman, Jr., commander of Post No. 155, the American Legion, Dalton, Mass. He said: 3 «â€"*"‘The post, in addition to stressing membership, took an active interest in obtaining an aviation field â€"and propéerly marking the town. We had our reward. A heavy fog hung over the east and the mail plane from Newark to â€"Montreal was lost after leaving: Newâ€"York.=~The pilot â€"with his mail and two passengers flew far from the course and finally came over here â€"inâ€"the treacherous hills with very few safe landing fields within a radius of many miles. S "He circled the country above the: fog not knowing where he was. In he noticed the landing field with the white circle that had been placed there by the legion. He knew that the plane and passengers were saved. He landed on the only field marked in Berkshire county, the work having been done by the legion post." â€" _ _ _ The legion is this year carrying on nationally again the program ‘of legieonâ€"â€"posts â€"supporting â€"commercial and military aviation and the markâ€" ing of fields. The ambitious plan to bridge the oceans with : manâ€"made islands, which was first proposed. after the Lindâ€" bergh flight, is nearing reality. With the success of the first model built by Edward R. Armstrong, conâ€" sulting engineer of the DuPont cor: poration, who obtained a leave of abâ€" sence to construct a seadrome over his own plans, work will be pushed rapidâ€" ly on the first "island," which will be anchored â€" about . half . way. between out, says The American Magazine. Plan to Bridge Ocean with Seadromes Seems Nearing Realization The seadrome, which will be known as the Langly, will not be a mere alighting place. It will contain a hoâ€" tel, machine shops and fuel storage tanks. â€"It is estimated that more than forty persons will be required to man the island. It will afford a landing platform 1,100 feet long and will have a breadth of 340 feet in the center and 180 feet at the ends,. The whole structure will be 250 feet high and will protrude 80 feet above the water, It will be moored in 12,000 feet of water by a special anchorage system devised by Armstrong and, while: it may change direction with the wind, it will have no sideâ€"to side motion owing to the 32 "legs" which constiâ€" tute the ballast system. â€" The island will weigh 28,000â€" towns and â€"will cost about $1,750,000. ' â€" gone into the construction of : seaâ€" dromes on a purely commercial basis and will operate the islands in conâ€" phibian planes. The Bermuda service is expected to cut the time of:travel between â€" Hamilton and â€" New â€" York from 47 hours sailing time to 6 hours 30 minutes flying time, allowing for a halfâ€"hour stopover at the Langley, It is estimated that the round trip fare will be $150 at first. 1, 20 00000000 o0 anermeam mm condorn n n arns ts oan cppammee: en enmite mereape m gae ons ie nc ie y mss comen ommc nten ho e onminat en t
