Good Old World

Two more homeloving bodies than Publisher Adolph Ochs and Business Manager Louis Wiley of the New York Times would be hard to find. Yet their newspaper is the country's foremost daily recorder of expeditions to remote spots upon the earth and off it--cloud-piercing peaks, profound caverns, world's ends, experimental rocketeering. Last week at the New Jersey Newspaper Institute, the man whom Messrs. Ochs & Wiley sent to Antarctica to write daily rhapsodies about the Byrd expedition, eloquent Reporter Russell Owen, explained: "The newspaper in this age of uneconomic unhappiness and social unrest has discovered in the modern' explorer and aviator an excellent anodyne to our disappointing and humdrum life. Ephemeral their exploits may be, but for the time that they are chronicled I think we all get from them a feeling that this, after all, is not such a bad old world, when man can dare greatly for an idea or ideal as the case may be. . . ."
