At the time of Mr Hamlin's 26th anniversary in 1910, the principal speaker was former Gov Curtis Guild, who paid high tribute to Mr Ham,l l~'s service. "For 25 years," he said, "Charles H. Hamlin has been a minis• , ter to the spiritual needs of this con- . gregation and in the truest sense qf the word, the pastor of his church- 1 - For as a shepherd Is the leader of his · . flock, so· has this clergyman, In this I b eautiful valley, beloved and beautiful ' 1 eve n in colonial days, been a pastor, a shepherd of men, as were his predecessors, when this wai; no tranquil hamlet, but the very fronter of civil• I ization." 1 Rev Dr P. s. Moxom, then a prom!- . , nent pastor In Springfield, said that Mr · j Hamlin was a man who "profoundly , b e li eves in the comprehensive mission of the church. Mr Hamlin's name is . known (and in some quarters whole- I somely feared) all over the commonjwea lth. His successful -efforts to abol,ish a great evil (referring to race track pool sell!ng) make part of its recent history. His d evotion to a high I , c ivic ideal has been inspiration to followers and fello\y workers and has , exerted an influence wider than .he 1 s uspects. His practical belief that 1 'clcanliness is next to godliness' and his broad Interpretation of cleanliness have worked str ongly for a cleaner and sounder s ocia l life. He has ear ned the confidence and esteem of the best / elemen ts in the . community and com- I pelled the respect of all ; it haii earned , for him the love and loyal support of the church for which he has so long been a leader." [ It was said of Mr Hamlin, when a I student, that he was wa.rned not to 1 go to Germany to study unless he wanted to become an infide l, 'but he promptly went to Germany, where exp os nre s imply toughened the fiber of hi., c onvic tions. . 1 H.ev Mr Hamlin served for years as I a valued member of the board -of trus- / 1 tee,i of Williston seminary at Easth ;,. mpt.on, and Prc;,f C.

Sunday the chocolate- colo-;:';;:tcar a nd the fa mily slipped over the r ldi;te to West Cummington to drop In on Dr and Mrs Starkweather who were eelebrntlng their golden wedding an You s ee, gentle readers, ni v.ersary. go l<len weddings in Cummington are li ke baby golf courses In a big city. Some one starts the fad and then , al most before you know it, everyone is copying the Idea. Last month Mr ana ~!rs Wa lter l<'ord entertained. This mon t h It was the old family doctor's turn. The little reception on Sunday wad in many ways more Interes ting than usual, for Dr Starkweather has been a country doctor in Cummington, 0 1· So,voy, for more than 10 years. He is one ot' the fe w remaining old family phyioians. For well on to half a cen tury he climbed the hills, waded snowdrltted roads, taced biting winds, aml ans.wered midnight calls In Windsor, Peru, Worthington, Sav oy and Cum - I I mington. If all the babies at whose births he was present now lived In Cumming1ton, that village would have more than double its presen t population, tor the good doctor estimates he has assisted at between 1000 and 1200 · cases. An'd as for other calls, or the num.be;. or miles be has t raveled In caring for t he sick, one hesitates to venture even a guess. Country doctors with their kindly 1 ways are fast disappearing- from rural •N ew England, but in Dr Starkweathe, 1 one s t ill finds the type almost' in the prime of lite. But he stands a lone, for ' .:in al! my hills I do not know of a nother, unless it be Dr MoUne of Sunderland, who is known from OJJe end of the valley to the other. The younger generation s eems to ha vP. fiiiled to produce real m en wil ling tn face th e world of need and su ffering, ,. in isola tion, and in humble ci rcum -f stance, i,nd wltli:out p rospects of great ( ' t111ancial rewards. 1 Five 'taugl1ters, all livi!\g and pres' wedding, en gold z·ents' pa their ent at and a host of friends a n d neighbora from far and ilear to wish them success, marked the little ga thering on Sunday. Thus we left them, bu t a s WI! s low ly climbed the hill toward .Plainfield, near the spot wh ere long ago, William Cullen Bryant paused to note the passing waterfowl, there kept run1 , nlng t hrough our mind the qu i;A'tioi 1 , life. l · or what constituted a successfu And somehow or other, the good doc. tol', burled from the wori<l dee p in Hampshire's hills. wit h his twosco1·2 years ot service and his· count / friends, with li!s eplendid health and his unbrok en family circle, seeme"d t e fill the 1deflnlflon. In his own humble I - wny he had kept' high the t radi tions of an !llustr!ous commun ity and when the real history ot Cumm ington ls written his nam e will stand withou t blemish near that of the great poet under whose Influence he h as lived so l l long. We lo~t a noth el' fine . old n eighbor ' duz·ing the week, I refer to Byron Hollis fr om u p in ,vindsor BuslJ. )fr Hollis was almn,t 71 years o!d a nd lived his en tire li(e in the h ouse in whic h he was born, and , if I am not mistak en, h is fathe r \\'as born &.n<l died In th e sam e house, too. but. I notice th at t he Hem lclltng of Mr H ollls 's dea th ~ays tha t his fathe r mover! to tho place as a you ng man . Mr Hollis 11as a fine exa mple o! Fol' more t han a. th e old sc hool. quarter ot a century he ser \'ed as sc hool com m ittee m ember, and it "·as in this capacity t hat I came to kno w him first. He was a good far me r a nd lived in on e of th e mos t beautiful spots In B erl,shi re count.y. From his doo rya1·d one co uld look off to the I south a nd to the west to e njoy the wld e -Epreading hill s. In spite. of t he fa ct th at .M,· H oll is / s pent a ll of h,s days in Berkshire county, h e n ever visited Peru l1il l until we drove up t her e toget her in Old Tlme r in the s pring of 1923. Tllat was a m emorab le trip for m or e reasons that one and I shall long recall · the event. There h a d been a s chool committee meeting that day in Hirn!!• da le at which I had tendered my re~lgnation In order to acc ept a p osition in the W est. Wh en we rea ch ed Peru we found Mayor Creamer seated on th e steps •in front of' hi s store enjoying a beautiful spri ng day. In the course of the conversation Mr Hollis told h im that I had resigned. In s ta ntly l\Ir Creamer, turn in;;- to me. said: ,..What did you · do that for? We were satisfied with I your wo1'1c '' Mr H olli s \\·as a grf:at booster for the Cummington old follrn' gathering, and last June, whe1i he failed to at t end, th,e event seemed to lag. for be had been secre tai:y •of the organization for many years. It was Mr Hollis who COrl'ected t he spelling of 'Windsor Jambs, and who explained how that spot got its nam e. He said t hat , th e huge stones in tl)e walls of ·t he gorge are in the shape of the j a mbs, or sides, of an open fireplace, hence \ th e name. My hills do not maim men like - Mr H offis any more. Automobiles and radios and Delco light s and bakers' bread have erased t!1e marks that dlstingu!s!Jed cou ntry fro m city folks, and now, as one fine old citizen afte r another passes on, they are n ot leaving behind anyone to fl!l t h eir places.

Th e author carries the r eailer thro ug-h a na tional convention In which i n ternationa l a utocrats and the communis ts i re each wor king- i to establis h a supergovernment. T he middlefolks dominate the situa tion and sugges t a plan fo.r world courts m od eled 11pon Am e rican ideals. A court of the west is proposed to adjud icate disputes upon this h emi s ph ere ; a court of the east Is suggested to h a ndle the probl em s of Europe, Asia a nd Africa; 1 the two courts in joint sessi on wou ld ' a ct as the sup reme court fo r man- 1 kind. The argument is supported by wise . sayings, as: "Washington thre-;v a col11 a cr oss the Poto mac. His success- , ors have s ea ttered American dolla r s f over th e world"; " th e ma n who says nothing makes a typical politi cal ad dress"; "political promise represents a hop e, like a check dated a head" ; "the road to wa r Is paved with brok en treaties." A love story which begins upon one of the battlefields o! France and extends through a politica l campaign ·is the thread bY which the Interest of the reader Is malnt,a.lried. The heroine, Joy Pynchon, Is the only.one of the characters which has a nonallegorlcal name. The scene of the story Is laid In one of the middle wes tern states. T he controversy begins with a dispute :~etween between th e commun ist, Ilkovitch; a Stoug:1test, and s u per-industrialist, Middl efolks. It beg ins ,when the industrialis t su ggests that the " chain-store Idea" mig ht be a mplified into a scheme for an in tern a tiol;!a 1 government. This arouses the ire of Middlefolks, who in sists tha t the aver age citizens of the ' world are e utirely satisfied w ith sturdy nationalism . It develops th a t Stoui; ht- ' est Is the gun rdian of Joy Pynch on, the sweetheart of Mlddl efollrn. The sit- : nation naturally follows that the young woman ls !or a time uncertain whether he1· guardian or h er Joyer are correct and attem)i>ts to compromise their ideals which results 1n a barsrler that threatens to disrupt either the ' love atralr or h er pleasant relations with Stoughtest. There are chapters dealing with political campaigning. Possibly Mr Talbot's ow:n experiences as a n Independent in polltics are more or less r eflected In the story. He was on th e subcommittee of three, the other m embers loeing · congress map H oward of, Alabamp, and Judg,e Clarence Shea n of New York, who drnfteC: the Ind e1pend ence leag·ue platform 'O t th eir national conv entron in 19 08 .

One of the characters, Lawyer DePracto who manages the political ca mpaign ! or Middle!olks, ls the moving force through a court trial a nd the fin al protection of Mlddlefolks · from conviction upon a. trumped-up charge. 1 The author frankly states in the opening pa.ges that his characters a._re composite and are intended to delineate the forc es .that are at work 1n . . , , -.

Sherma n and Ernest Orpin , of Hinsdale and Lawrence Estes and , Willlam H. Cullett qt Dalton, all life- , I time friends of Mr· Creamer, acted as bearers. Many Berkshire towns were represented by those who came to 1 pay their last respects. Judge Ch!!rles L. Hibbard, Atty J. Ward Lewi~, Mr and Mrs Eugene Backman, and Dr Michael W. Flynn of Pittsflel~, l}_arry Meacham chairman of the Dalton selectmen and Harry Ford of Dalton, Thomas A. Frissell and Carlton A. ' Pierce of Hinsdale, Dr Mary Sanderson of Amherst, and Mrs H. D. Pease and Clemenf Burr of Worthington were a few of ,the many that came from neighboring to,yns. Thi.s was the first death in Mr; Creamer's immediate family and his wife and dau~hters did not choose the windy htlltop of Peru for his resting - place but selected a lot In the Maple-street cemetery .In Hinsdale. About 50 automobiles were in the fun~ral cortege. ' 1 j I �"The Mayor of Peru" e ' ·• '1 j e t t 1 ' The late Frank' G. Creamer of Peru , "the highest town in Massa- , 'chusetts," had entered his 70th year before he died l)n his Berkshire , hilltop. His life for the most part was lived in Peru, which now has a population of about 100 souls. He was for years one of the best-known He citizens of Berkshire county. was also an interesting: person, Mr Creamer for more than a generation kept the- only store in town. A born p~Jitician, he was both the center and the whole circumfer!lnce · of its political life, in spite of the handical) of being a 1 consistent Democrat in a rural Re • publican community. For some 30 years he held practically all of the town _offices, and was postmaster to boot. To hold all the important town offices at once was never burdensome to Mr Creamer, yet there were always quite a few n1atters,· for him to remember and l9ok aftei:. If one is selectman, town clerk, town treasurer, a ssessor, road superintendent, fire and tree warden pound keeper and fence -v iewer and measurer of wood and lumber besides being moderator of town-~eetings, whenever they are called, one can have a fairly active life with tending•/store and being postmaster and county auctioneer as one's chief · vocation. It was as "the mayor of Peru" that Mr Creamer" .,became widely known after the city newspapers began ·play_ing up for the front page t~e town~rneet!i;igs ?n the breezy h11lto1? with picturesque detail and humorous coloring. City folks grew interested in a rural place where oje man held all the offices and, after t~e p~ssage of years, had to fight ' d1ssat1sfied cdtics in one end ·j of the town or the other in order to maintain his supremacy. It was discovered that Mr Crejmer was a "character"-and so "mdividual," as the summer boarders in the Berkshires would be apt to say. He was indeed "individual," also a "char'acter"; and no one appraised the value of being one quicker than he djd. The town , al so, came to appreciate the publicity he won for it. He was hospitable, g enerous and kind hea rt- i ed. He had the s hrewdness of a ; David Harum ; he had a racy wit I 1 and rare fluency of s peech. ' When he served in the lower branch of th e Leg,islature he made his term memorable in town history by tie· livering a humorous speec h on Peru, "the h ighest town in Massa- / , 'ch usetts" in the sense that the village itself had the highest eleva• tion, not to · mention the best air, which made a hit in the House. He prou'rlly . preserved newspaper clip1 pings of that speech for many years ' thereafter. · It was always suspected that the ,politica,l ti.e s between t<the mayor of ' 'Peru" an·cl the late Gov Crane were r~ther close. The gove.rnor never passed the Creamer store on his way down 'the hill to Dalton without stopping to ha ve a chat. .it was Mr Crane's way of keeping close to the people, just as Se~ator- ii';;,ry Wilson, . l~ter ".ice-president in. Grant's adm1mstrat1on, would drop in on and butchers cobblers, Natick barbers,. when h,e· wa f at home, to feel the public pulse. Senator· Hoar in his au\obiography testifies that Senat.or Wilson: knew what ,w:as stiring in Massachusqtts politics sooner than any othe.r , politician in the state. Mr Crane was apt to know as soon as any of the leaders of hi s 1 time, and Frank Creamer w~·s oiie of h!s feelers,. although Frank was a Democrat and joshed Mr·· Crane •at th e first /opportunity when Demo- • cratic Presi?ents or governors had ' been elected. Most . people think of him s a ' :ankee-;-a Yankee rural type. ;hat is where error _comes in. Frank , Creai:ner, one used to be• told, was i I . extraction • Yet , that b mng of ~ Irish ue, 1ie was one Irishman who seemed to absorb a whole Yankee hilltop ' nat'ives, , atmosphere and all . · mtoT 1115 bwn I•personality without· ' spo1 mg wha~ was Yankee in ·t I l ·- - --- I• �OROPARMELEE, 72, GORGE AT WEST CHESTERFIELD IS BOUGHT BY STATE F orm,e r Mi nis ter Pra ctis ed m Wo rth ing ton , Hin sda le Bef ore Co rni ng to Springfield in 1906.

He said , he was proud of the Worthington 7.Grange · for foreseeing the need of 'e.recting a memorial to stich a g·reat 1 man as Dr Conwell. In conclusion Mr Je.nks called upon the Grange to carry : on its community service work. Referring to the memorial bowlder in front of which he stood while speaking·, Mr Jenks _characterized its placing and I · dedicatjon last year the best piece of \ community service work throughout , . the state in 1930. · R ev James H. Burckes of Worth- 1 ington, anotber speaker, declared Dr I Conwell's life was rich because he ap- , plied three rules of life, they being : Be , true to yourself, be true to your God, and be true to your native town. "You I need to make footprints-not j and the kind we can see, but special im - , · p1·ints such as Dr Conwell left.'' His · closing remark was, boys and ~iris of Nre hills hav~ a 10 to 1 chance of '· reaching great hi~hts. Clement F . Burr, one of the town's ~ oldest resident then recalled incident.c; tt-at happened in this town before his time as told to him by the old man when he was a Joung man. Leon M.

Al - . thoug h i t was not a steady rain , but came In the form of a series of showe r~, with Indication s that it might clear off Jn time, It was impossibl e to carry ·out the marchin g prog r am, lrnt the rain let up long enough to permit the speaking to be held outside Carnegie , hall on Gothic street instead of at . th e historic spots as planned. The- curtailed -line of march was from the People's Institute on Gothic street, thi:ough Gothic, Court, King, Park and Gothic . streets to the star'ting ·point. The line comprised the drum . corps and battalion of St. Mary's troop of the Catholic Boys' brigade, the ' Doy and Girl Scouts and school ·children. Maj. A. G. Beckmann · wa s marsh al. Much of the speaking was 1 omitted, but the talks of Rev, B. D. Hall on th e site of the first mee ting house, and George Ely on ' th e site of th e Jonathan Edwards house on King street, were given. The speak er s .1were intraduced by W. E . Shannon, chairman of the committe e. R efreshments w ere served to th e children and the particii:,an ts in the parade after the exercises. All those atten c!ing were given mimeogra phed copies of brief summarie s of the history of the several spots · it was planned to visit. Among the features mentioned were the following : King and Main Corner of streets: This was the center of the , tQWn from the coming of the first_ settlers in 16 5 4. This 'fas the site of the First church where the boulder is now located, and was ·known as Meeting House Hill, beIng much higher than at present. {I')le min!ster's house stood at about the present location of the corner of Main and Pleasant streets. The f\rst postoffice was on the site of the First National bank. A brook crossed Main street near Pleasant and another near lower corner of Market the street. These were later covered over and connected with the sewer. Whitney House on King Street: This site was the home of Jonathan Edwards, third minister, and it is said Northamp ton was the 1 ·Qnly town known to England, out- I side of Boston, · because of hi~ books and sermons. There Is a ; tablet to his memory in the cemetery, but he is buried in New Jer....,. where._he died of smallpox. I .. . Oldest house in town : On Bridge street , now owned by Miss Bliss. It was built by Cornet Parsons, whose wife was called a "witch ," and who was acquitted after she w ent to Boston and pleaded her own case before the gen eral court. The house, built in 16 5 9. was first used as an Inn. The firat child born ln Nortbamp ampton was the son of,; Cor.n et Parsons, afterward killed by th e Indians at Northfield . First store in town : Was on the site of the present C. B. Kingsl ey drug store. Across the street was an old tavern, home of General Seth Pomeroy, w)io rode from here to Boston in one day to fight at Bunker Hill, when he was 6 9. Hl11 home was later the site of , the Warn er house, where Lafayette and Kossuth were entertaln_e d, and where the Draper hotel now stands. Old Mansion Hoµse and Canal te'rminal building : About where St. Mary's church now stands was the red tavern In the early days a nd la ter the Mansion House, where many distaingu ished !2,!l.9- -~ _.. r.' - a mong were entertaine d, t ~1'r,m Henry Clay, Daniel W e bster and Rufus Choate, the latter two •wl. ec on op,poslte _sides in • the , Oliver Smith will· case a~ · I he .,, cou rt house. At th e foot of th e ' hill, ne,1r · what is now the corner · of State and Main streets, was the canaf house , the water crossing ,Main street under _th~ arches ot a . bridge, The canal, which g_o t,- its water from the Connectic ut river , was in ,use from .,-1 8 36 to 1847. l The coming of the New Have n I railroad, known as th e Canal road, put th e a ctual ca nal out of business. Tbe first settle rs are be- 1 lieved to have· come In via West I street. · Smith College: Founded by Sophia Sniitb in 18.15. Miss Smith , was a native of Hatfield, and the : home there- is still preserved by the alumnae associatio n of the ; college. ·she first planned to establish the college at Hatfield, but , was persuaded that Northamp ton 'was the "' be ttiir location. The !).aughters of Hatfjeld, she stipulated, should receive free tuition the same as those from North· ampton. The Manse, Prospect street: ·The house of Rev. Solomon Stoddard, which stood here and was un ti! a few years ago a part of ibis house, was one of the fi~st houses built west of the meeting house. It was .built In 1684. ·When . the house was , repaired many ,years ago, a ~oncealed room was chimney, discovere d near the bull t for protection again st the Indians, as this house was outside the old stockade between Pleasant and Hawley streets. The present house was built by Col.

The town, so the record says, was generous to Mrs. Hooker, giving her the use of one-fourth of the land sequestered for the minister and the manse till it was needed for his successor. The latter arrangement worked out very nicely, for, though the next minister, Solomon Williams, came within a year, he was very glad to board with Mrs. Hooker, soon married her daughter, Mary, and kept on living in the manse for the rest of his days. It is worth noting daughter here that perspective of the years that fol-| lowed, we may well say that passing of Solomon Williams mark the end of an what we choose era. the did With him closed the mighty dynasty of ministers chosen for life—five of them covering a span of 175 years.

In this first number of The Bridge for 1940 the Library of service. expresses its appreciation of her years Mrs. Rice was born in Albany where she graduated from St. Agnes School. She spent long periods abroad during her early years, notably in London where in 1886 she was presented at Court. Throughout her life she showed a deep interest in the Dutch traditions of Albany and in Holland, from which her father’s family migrated in 1660. In recognition of this interest Queen Wilhelmina presented her in 1924, at the time of Albany’s Tercentenary Celebration, with the Order Nassau. Her home in Albany was always the entertainment of distinguished visitors It was fortunate for the City’s public their users that Mrs. Rice selected them as beneficiaries of her service to her native shared her world outlook with them. Her of Orange- a center for from abroad. libraries and the principal Albany, and gifts to the John V. L. Pruyn Library collection and the books bought from the Fund which she founded in 1927 are predominately international in scope. Among them are several hundred biographies of British and other European men and women prominent in nineteenth and twentieth century world history. The building itself, an example of Dutch architecture of the 17th century, is a reflection of her interest. At the time of her death she had been a trustee of the Albany Public Library for fifteen years, but for many years before libraries in Albany. that she It was her mother, Mrs. Anna Hybertie Pruyn Hamlin Pruyn, public jr., in joining library as had been a in 1900 friend of public that she interested Parker Pruyn, her sister, Mrs. and her brother, John V.

Characteristically she gave the Fund her father’s name rather than her own. being dominated all expression A concern for the Library’s wellher relations with it and found in a conscious effort to avoid taking advan- tage of her position as its most liberal donor. She imposed her own limits—very modest ones—to her personal use of the books she gave to avoid interference with their general availability. The best evidence of what the City has gained as a result of the life-time interest of one citizen its institutions lies in a history of the John V. Library and a description of its collections and in one of L. Pruyn activities. 1901 JOHN the John as a free Albany was established in V. L. PRUYN V.

When in 1922 the libraries of the Young Men’s Association and the Albany Free Library united, the John V. L. Pruyn Library became a branch of the new system and was presented to the City in 1923, together with the rest of the Association property as part of the contract by which the Board of Trustees of the Young Men’s Association, reorganized, became the governing body of the Albany Public Library. The City built an addition in 1927. T. Both building and annex were designed by Marcus Reynolds, the well-known Albany architect. Its architecture is appropriate to Chancellor Pruyn’s Dutch ancestry and is reminiscent of the homes of early Albany. A touch of old Holland is found in the small stained glass panels used as inserts in the windows. Many of them relate to Albany history. For example, among them are the flag of the Dutch West India Company under which Albany was settled in 1624-1664, the Albany city seals of 1686 and 1752, and emblems of the five Iroquois Indian nations who were the City’s early neighbors. Other inserts are printer’s marks, to this library of literary taste and culture. BOOK COLLECTIONS AND of history and biography.” These subjects, together with belles-lettres, have been emphasized in the selections made for purchase during the past 38 years. It was then and is still a book browser’s library.

In 1901 chitdren were not considered when a library was planned. By October 1906, however, the John V. L.

Planning reading for adults is the innovation in library service which the last decade has introduced, just as the 1890’s brought the children’s librarian and the 1900's the library for the business man. Such a readers’ advisory service is now conducted at the John V. L. Pruyn Library under the supervision of the Readers’ Adviser for the main library. Business men and women take advantage of it for its aid to advertising, salesmanship and business management, but many readers are enrolled in cultural courses as a means of supplementing their education. In the year just ended 130,348 books were borrowed from the John V. L. Pruyn Library. The number of borrowers registered is 7,027; but many persons regis- tered elsewhere in the system often find it convenient to get their books here in the midst of the shopping and theatre center.

For, 1609 ,years First churen was the only church in town, the Unitarians | breaking off in 1825, whereupon their meeting house was struck by lightning. The spirit of the founders of First church is stul carrying on on “Meeting House Hill,” he said, The early members were sturdy, self-reliant, courag- eous people. He told “of the days when even the minister had a cow and a pig and of the town’s experience with ‘‘witchcraft;” the supposed ‘‘witches”’ being accused of being “in league with the devil.” Rev. Ralph Timberlake paid a high tribute to what he called “the spirit, ability and persdnatity of your pastor here.” He said that if he were a bishop, or haa the powers a bishop is supposea to have, he would see to it that a church had a pastor like Mr. Gib- |bons, and a_ pastor’s wife like | Mrs. Gibbons. He said there were 46 Congregational churches in Massachusetts when First churen | was organized in 1661. There we now 170,000 ~ Congregational members in the state, with some 620 churches.

HISTORICAL EXHIBIT_ AT THE FIRST CHURCH Some of Interesting Articles Date Back to Forming of the Parish in 166] The historical exhibit of the 275th anniversary observance of First church opened in the chape l this morning, with many intere sting and valuable articlc3, some of which date back to the forming of the parish in 1661. Some of the articles belong to the church, others have been loaned from the collection -of the | Northampton Historic: society, and many have been loaned by individuals. Many old time church records are on display, including the first records of the church made in 1661. Among the articles loaned for the exhibit pictures of Rev. Jonathan Edwards and his wife, Sarah Pierpoint Edwards. loaned by EK. P. Edwards of Stonington, Conn., a register of deaths in Northampton from the / rst settlement of the town in 1653 to August, 1824, printed in Northampton in 1824 by T.

An interesting exhibit of early American stencils and stenciled furniture from the collection of Janet Waring—together with numerous choice examples from various private sources, opened Easter Sunday at the Art gallery and will remain on view during the remainder of the month of April.

Of her, the museum bulletin says: ‘Fortunately, some years ago, before it was too late, Janet Waring became interested in this art. Her admiration of the skill of these early New England craftsmen finally developed into a major interest which led far afield.” “She discovered the whereabouts of a few of the remaining craftsmen, octogenarians for the most part, and learned of them their craft. She collected not only fine examples of steneciled furniture but the original stenceils cut and used by such men as extensive decorated furniture, fragments of original decorated plaster, tools from Moses Eaton’s kit, William Eaton’s of the 19th century (the beginning of mass production processes in furniture making in our country) was necessarily fairly mechanical and resultingly crude—the better types of the early stenciling was a meticulous | process requiring skill, taste and a, fine sense of form and composition, The beautifully decorated Venetian blind cornices, tole ware and some of the more sophisticated furniture in the present exhibition are better understood when one sees the hundreds of tiny cut-outs, exquisitely wrought, which have been arbitrarily combined to create the finished designs as they appear, with added brush work, lining and rubbing, on the surfaces of the old tole and wood.

A further courtesy to the public is noted in the table of reference material collected by:-the Museum Director Cordelia Sargent Pond, and conveniently placed in the gallery where the collection is on view.

These men, some more, some less talented, carned a living by going to the demand, stopping as long in village or town as there were commissions to be had. The centers of manufacture, where the skilled craftsmen could be regularly employed, came later. Although velvet painting and stenciling on velvet, “theorem painting,” it was called, was quite extensively practiced, examples are wanting in the present show, except for photograph and design. The writer recalls an example of theorem painting owned by the late Evanore Beebe of Wilbraham, which she said she learned to do when a child in the Ludlow school, where the “painting on velvet” was taught little girls, much as the stitching of a sampler had been taught their mothers. Another fabric not available for the present show, is of handwoven,| the and INTEREST @ that is, “homespun” linen made in Newfane, Vt., by Louisa Allen for her younger sister, Maria Allen— probably about 1880—and developed as a bed counterpane with valence for the tester of the i Design commemorated is lent first run by Mrs of Stephenson’s Arthur interest because it illustrates the building of the subject design with tiny stencils of individual motifs. The miniature people in the train are cut-outs so small as to suggest the skill of the Orientals in handling artistic materials. The design: commemorates the first run of Stephenson’s engine on the Liverpool and Manchester railway in 1830. The French cabinet with ormolu mounts and the Japanese gold lacquers shown in the gallery with the stenciling are designed to suggest sources from which the notion of gold decoration in this country stemmed. How far removed were our provincial interpretations from the originals, are evidenced in the “mass production” chairs, stencil decorated by the hundreds and distributed by peddler wagopa during the middle and later 1800s.

But Miss Waring’s greatest contri-| | bution to the knowledge of the craft of stencil is made with her findings on William Eaton, whose stencils and equipment are included in the pres- ent show.

PERRY MASON & 00., PUBLISHERS, BOSTON, JUNE 18, 4 For the Companion. THURSDAY, OVERWHELMED. Down through one of the greenest valleys in Massachusetts has flowed for years unnumbered a winding, murmuring little stream. It is blue as the sky, and its slender breadth is bordered on one side by rich, arable intervale, and on the other by a steep hillside, almost a wall of green, covered and shaded from May to October with long, shadow-catching grass, and graceful elms and willows. Here and there the slope rises on both sides, and the river glides through as if trying to hide itself from view. The green shores of this delightful stream have attracted to themselves many a pleasant home, and by the silver waterfalls one little gem of a village after another has sprung up, each one clustering around busy mills, where the river has been caught and set to work. It is a spirited little river, and has done its best. But work has grown fast on its hands, and its taskmasters have been forced to help it. To accomplish this, a dam was built at Goshen, a few miles above the factories, throwing the water back into a natural basin, and forming an immense reservoir, But still the mills and the villages increased their demands, until eight or nine years ago, OVERWHELMED.

One in the very sweep of the fearful flood that must day his brother-in-law came to him and said,— come forth if the wall should ever give way, said, “Tam going to try an experiment and.see if I “Well, if they are satisfied, it don’t look as if can make my fortune.

The great trouble is to get the moulds,” some of the gentlemen owning the mill property | finished at last. “I will make them for you,” said Mr. Hayden; and he went to work to plan and construct the necessary machinery. With no brains but his own, he soon succeeded. The machinery was ready, the button moulds were made, and that was the beginning of the Williston button factories at Easthampton, the largest in the country. Mr. Hayden now determined upon making more machinery to use for his own benefit. A brass foundry was the result; and from that day more and more money came flowing into his} hands. The town of Haydensville, the gem of the | valley, grew up arouud him, full of busy, happy people, who looked to him for every things and | on the opening day of his new factory, he_enter- ; tained the gentlemen who came to the cefebra-| tion in his own elegant house, that was filled| with objects of taste and art. Just above, at Skinnerville, stood Mr. Skinner’s sewing -silk factory and his beautiful home: These sprang up in much the same way as Gov. Hayden’s enterprises; for when Mr. Skinner came to this country from England he was a poor boy, without a dollar in his pocket, glad to get such employment as he could. Still farther up the river, but in sight from Skinnerville, stood Williamsburg, an older and larger town, busy also with its mills, while below all these villages, looking down the river from Haydensville, peeped the white houses of Leeds, with bridges enough for a small Venice, one of iron, one with stone arches, another of wood,*but all so picturesque that you could but admire them, even while delighted with the beautiful waterfalls that everywhere tempted the eye. And so the villages prospered.

In one huge mass, spreading somewhat where the opening valley allowed it, but through narrower spaces towering like a black, seething wall twenty feet in height, the torrent sped. It gathered in its relentless arms, or buried beneath its boiling depths, every thing it encountered on its way. The houses where the workmen had said good-by to their families in the morning were tossed like bubbles for one instant on the sur~ face, and the next were dashed to pieces; and the wives and children that were to have said “welcome” at night, where were they?

The following poem was written by Rev. Aaron Cleveland of Norwich, Ct., grandfather ot President Cleveland. The copy from which we publish is furnished by J. B. Cleveland o€ Oneonta: Four kinds of blood flow in my veins, And govern eachin turn my brains; From Cleveland, Porter, Sewell, Waters; Thad my bloed distinct in quarters. 1 My parents’ parents’ names I know, But I no further back can go. * Compound on compound from the flood Forms now my own ancestral blood, * But what my sires of old time were I neither wish to know nor care. Some might be wise, and others fools; Some might be tyrants, others tools; Some inight be rich, and others lack; Some might be white, and others black. No matter what in days of yore, Since they are known and sung no more. The name of Cleveland I must wear, Which some poor foundling first might bear. Porter, I’m told, from Scotland came, A bonny bard of ancient fame. Sewell, an English derivation, Perhaps some outcast from the nation. Waters, an Irishman, I ween, Straight round about from Aberdeen. Such is my heterogenous blood— A motley mixture, bad and good. Each blood aspires to rule alone, And each in turn ascends the throne And rules till others tear him down. Each change must twist about my brains | And move my tongue in diiferent strains; My mental powers are captive led, As whim or wisdom rules the head. My character no one can know, For none | have while things are so; I’m something, nothing, wise or fool, | As suits the blood which haps to 1ule. When Cleveland reigns I’m thought a wit, In making words, the funny hit. In social glee and humorous song I charm the fools thut round me throng; But soon, perhaps, this blood is down, When Porter next may wear the crown. Now all is caim, discreet and wise, Whate’e1 Ido whate’er advise, But soon, alas! this happy reign Must for some other change again. Sewell, perbaps, may next bear rule; I’m then a philosophic fool. With Jefferson 1 correspond And soar with him the stars beyond. While every fiver of the brain To sense profound I nicely strain, And then arise beyond the ken Of common sense and common men. But who comes next? Alas! *tis Waters, Rushing fearless to headquarters. He knows no manners nor decorum, But elbows headlong to the forum; Uncouth and odd, abrupt and bola, Untaught, unteachable, and uncontrolled, Devoid of wisdom, sense or wit, Not one thing right he ever hit, Unless by accident, not skill, He blundered right against his will; Such am I now—no transmigration Can sink me to a lower station. Come, Porter, come depose this clown, And once for all assume the crown. If aught in Sewell’s blood you find Will make your own still more refined, If found in Cleveland’s blood a trait To aid you in the affairs of State, Select such parts, but spurn the rest, Never to rule my brain or breast, Of Waters’s blood expel the whole, Let not one drop pollute my soul. Then rule my head, then rule my heart, From folly, weakness, wit apart; With all such qualities Pll dispense, And only give me common sense, , ! } i : �(Hr and (irs. request the Gay Franklin Barilett pleasure of al the marriage yoar company of their daughter (Slarjorie Graves to (Nie Horace Edminisler Bell on Fridag, (Vineteen the first of September hundred and at half after two thirty -nine oclock First (Sngreqational Cha rch 7 Worthington, (Vlassachusells 193 Worthington : Marjorie Bartlett ~ To Wed Maine Man WORTHINGTON, Marjorie and Mrs. G. her sister. bridesmaid Aug.

The volume by Aquinas is beautifully printed 'with two columns to a page, with extremely wide margins, on magnificent paper that shows no sign of deterioration after 459 years. Another example of these early books is the “Constitutions of Pope Clement V” printed in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1482.

It was in 1825-26 that Pierce studied in the former celebrated Northampton law school, second oldest in the country—Litchfield, Ct., Law school being the oldest. Since Pierce, whose home city is Concord, N. H., left the White House in March, 1857, no New Englander was called to- the Presidency until Calvin Coolidge succeeded Warren G. Harding in 1923. Chester A. Arthur, although born in Vermont, was a citizen of New York when he beeame President, after the death of Garfield. The only other two Presidents from New England were the Adamses, John ane John Q. Adams, father and son. In the 80 years between the inaugural of President Pierce and President Franklin D. Roosevelt, there have been only four Democratic Presidents. A man of de- voutly religious wards church, character, Pres- ident Pierce as a youthful law student, then 21 years of age, is said to have attended the Old First church, which at that time was so large that the new Ed- about to celebrate its 100th anniversary, was being considered. The Northampton School of Law, where Franklin Pierce received the legal training that enabled him in 1827 to return to his native town of Hillsboro, N. H., to begin the practise of law continued with increasing success until the presidential election of 1852, was founded in 1823 by Judge Samuel Howe, who once had been a pupil at the Litchfield Law school, and his former law partner, Elijah H. Mills, a lawyer of extensive practise and 4@ United States senator from Massachusetts, In 1827 Mr. Mills’ law partner, John Hooker Ashmun, was added to the faculty of the school. The prominence of Judge Howe - and of Senator Mills and the great legal ability of Mr. Ashmun gave the school a high reputation, but in the strictest sense it was a private law school. Though at one |/time there was an attendance of 1/40 law students, its average attendance numbered hardly more than 10, and in 1829, when Mr. Ashmun accepted a professorship school in je the Harvard Law Cambridge, the school in Northampton was discontinued. But the very fact that students were so few is in Mr. Pierce’s favor, since he would come into close contact with the celebrated legal minds |already referred to. The method of instruction was unique. The professors read written lectures, of which the students were supposed to take copies. There were also less formal oral lectures, and tne stu- dents recited these. The principles of the common law and of constitutional law were taught at the law school in Litehfield, Conn. So excellent was the Northampton school of law, after the Harvard Law school was opened the complaint was made that some of the students were so attracted by the Northampton school and its brilliant instructors that they forsook Cambridge and went to Northampton, It is said that some of the most brilliant lawyers in Western Massachusetts received their legal training in Northampton. Judge Samuel Howe, son of Dr. Estes Howe of Belchertown, practised law in Worthington for some years, then was appointed a judge of the court of common pleas of Northampton, George P. Ashman was one of the brilliant students of the sehool, with connections in Northampton and Springfield. He served three times in Congress as representative from this valley. t Still another student who brought honor to the Northampton Law school was Emory Washburn, who became governor of Massachusetts, and later was professor of law at Cambridge, After leaying the Northampton Law school, Franklin Pierce continued his legal studies in the law office of Judge Parker ..in Amherst. He was admitted to the bar in 1827 and at once began the practise of law in his native town. In 1883 he was a member of Congress, in 1837 took his seat in the Senate of -the United States, and on March 4, 1853, was inaugurated President of the United States. He died in 1869 at his home in Concord, N. H., which now wants to honor him more highly than hitherto, �Clubwomen of Have Been Fourteenth and Fifteenth Districts Invited to Attend Exhibition in That City on Nov. 11 and 12 By A citing Emily “treasure T.

Mrs. William Moore is in charge of the pageant which will feature these styles of another day at each session of the show. At 4 and 8 o’clock on the first day the pageant will be shown and the final presentation will be given at 3.30 on the second day. . There are some very interesting gowns. One is an elaborate white satin which dates back to the. revolutionary period and which has the distinction of having been worn at a reception in honor of George Washington. This is the property of Mrs. David Wright. It may seem a bit odd even in these modern days for the bride to wear red, but Mrs. Moore has in her collection two very beautiful red gowns which were wedding gowns. There are other wedding gowns, which will be displayed.

The back 150 years and possession of a man oldest doll dates was the prized when it was dis- covered by Miss Fowler. He hated to part with it, because he remembered that he was allowed to hold it and rock it when he had been very, very good. An interesting group is a bridal party which is a hundred years old. The bride is attired in elaborate bridal array and the bridegroom is quite resplendent in a dress suit which is 75 years old. The flower girl in organdy and the bridesmaid in green taffeta complete a very attractive group. Miss Fowler will be in costume and she will be a most interesting hostess. Mrs. Daniel J. Manning is in charge of old coverlets and this collection will attract the interest of many. One of the features of this collection will be the counterpane owned by Mrs. Grace Coolidge. Another very old quilt will be shown which was brought from London and the first block of this quilt was made in Hyde Park. The interesting thing about hobby shows is the bits of historical information which are unearthed. There will be on display a sheet which was woven in colonial days in Springfield. There will be some modern spreads and altogether the collection will be very beautiful. There is not time nor space to describe the collection of antique jewelry, lovely shawls, old glass, fine silver, hand-made rugs, petit point and all of the other interesting treasures which have been gathered together for this outstanding hobby show. It will be necessary to see them to appreciate them. The fine hospitality for which the Northampton Woman’s Club is noted will be extended to all those who visit the display. There are attractive features for every session of the show. The will be the international tea climax which will be the closing feature. Mrs. Albert G. Beckmann, president of the club is in charge of the hostesses for this occasion. The members of the junior department will serve and their gay peasant csotumes will add color to this part of the entertainment. “Mrs. William M.

He also spoke of Mrs. Brooks, who provides so many suppers, and supposed she was still as “‘young as the rest.” The church, though a hundred years old, is still young and full of activity and power under a new minister—a great occasion, Rev. Henry Lincoln Bailey ot Longmeadow, secretary of the Massachusetts Association of Con- gregational Churches, said it was a great. thing to have a church colonized in the way Edwards church went out—not because of any church quarrel, but because First church was not big enough for all. The churches decided to “multiply by dividing.” He congratulated the church upon having a ministerit could look up to in more ways than one (the new minister is tall). He congratulated the church upon its hundred years of history and its next century of progress. Rev. Robbins W.

Mr. Ames said he had done excellent work and the church could not adequately express its appreciation and thanks. Mr, Barstow wanted the people te “‘remember I am still a part of this church.” He said it was ‘fone of the highest spots in my life that I could in some way try to be of sérvice to you.” He reminded that “I had the great honor of being in some small measure responsible for Mr. Penner being here—-and that was something.” He said he always DAILY “We years of covet ‘for fruitful you “many service for more the cause of God among men, “For and in behalf of the First Baptist church, Eaton B, Freeman, pastor; Helen ©.

And I very much wish that a complete compilation might be made of all 18th century (and older) houses still remaining here. This would be a valuable thing for the D. A, R., Historical society or Forbes library to memorialize. The largest number of these probably would be found on \South, Bridge and Elm streets, layouts that followed the first three Pleasant, King and Mar‘ket, on none of which now remains an original dwelling. The first houses were log huts. The houses already mentioned were among the earliest frame houses. Specimens of these that may be seen on Elm street (at first, and. for generations later, largely peopled. by Clarkes), are that of the late Miss Clara Clark who believed hers to be the oldest, the Whitney, of the Burnand _ its group, school ham neighbor, Tenney house, left for| the use of self-help students by the last of Mrs. Mary Tenney, her long line to live there.

The oldest South _ street houses, with projecting upper story for defense in Indian attack, are the second oldest New England style. Two and a half story frame houses, ‘with roof sloping to the ground floor at the rear. Some of the old houses of this type in Hadley had their doors studded with nails to resist tommyhawks. Very likely that was a style here also. These South street houses must be rich in data that should be saved. The first known building on this street was in 1696; but may have \yeen earlier, as the first bridge across Lickenwater was built years before that. And before the bridge a ford was in use about where the Old South street footbridge is. It would be superfluous here to detail about your beautifui Betty Allen house, but not to rejoice that you have preserved such a fine specimen of a truiy Colonial home. It is also appropriate that this was a Clapp homestead, because those names, Clark, Clapp, Parsons and Strong, are linkea with most of these 18th century homesteads and they have continued a part | of Northampton hfstory throughout On lower Bridge street (said by oldest residents to have altered the least of any _ strect here) the Shephevd and _ Hillman houses are among the oldest, and on upper Bridge, what is left of Rose Tree Inn, the restored Colonial house next it, and the old red house almost at the bridge, which was a tavern and a stopping place of coaches on the Boston and Albany route. Several other Bridge street i pbouses must be a century old— even above “the Plain’’—the sandy, pine-wooded tract behind which was set apart a burying-ground in 1661 and has been so used ever since. Hawley street also has some of the same period, though several of these have been converted into tenements and their generous grounds usurped by short. streets and houses of later date. The Butler house here ‘was considered a very fine mansion. The third New England style were gambrel. roof mansions. These were considered the “highest type of architecture of their time’ and, quietly elegani and truly attractive, were fa-' vored by the aristocracy. This town had seven of these built during the seventeen hundreds. They were called “the seven wonders of Northampton.” Two are still standing--the Hubbard | house on upper’ Bridge street and the Sessions house. Others were the Stoddard (where the Smith chemistry building stands), the Osbornes’, near the corner of King and Main (where the Misses Osborne had a millinery parlor), Deacon Hunt’s, the Dwights’ and Gov. Strong’s. �I am sorry not to find more This reminds me of an anet-|ineirs and other houses here about the John Hubbard house. dote in our family of the first have rather it is overheard, I cannot understand why people use of tomatoes.

His father, Lt. Jonathan, lived 58 years on the first lot before leaving it to a married son to himself move to the upper lot. When he diei in 1738 he left 20 poumds to the town for the support of schools. His son built the present house and also set out the | elms in that section, from which the street takes its name. Northampton is largely indebted to these various Hunts for their interest in beautifying the town and their love of elm trees. A few set out by them still stand, including those about our house on Old South street. ‘ John Hunt’s daughter, Martha, married Judge Henshaw, with which name the house was illustriously associated for 69 years.

This was ‘about opposite Belding’s mill on Hawley street, then Pudding lane. It is described as ‘‘a low pbuilding with a wooden. latch and latch-string hanging outside.’ A former boy, Francis Brown, now editor - of - Current History, has written the most authentic life of Hawley. There was a long and bitter quarrel between the cousins, Jo- seph Hawley and Jonathan bd- tween them, including which notes wards. Letters that passed be- Hawley’s manly later apology to Edwards, are of historical importance, It may be interesting to say that some, if not all, of these, as well ag other Hawley documents (Most likely some of them relating to the revolt of the Colonies) were written, | probably, at the same desk on for this paper were made. Not long ago, at that desk, I wrote to a publisher in Boston, who had written to me ‘that her desk had been John Hancock’s. It was interesting, to me, to think of correspondence still passing between Northampton and Boston from those same two deske. In the late seventeen or early ‘eighteen hundreds, several stately houses of the so-called ‘‘Colonial’ style. were built in Northampton. Like houses of similar sort in the South—houses with big . columns, verandas, . high rooms, halls extending through the center from front to rear— these are not “Colonial,” but a fashion influenced by Thomas Jefferson in the first days of the Republic. True Colonial houses in the south and middle states are most often of stone or brick, are low and have small rooms.

Many came on board to inspect the Yankee and photographers took advantage of the arrival to line up members of the crew in various poses despite the pelting rain. Later, Capt. Johnson and drenched Teporters gathered in one. of the cabins to relate the adventures encountered during the 18 months trip. Although the number and variety of the adventures make it difficult to high-light any particular one, Capt. Johnson related with obvious relish a volcano-climbing expedition in the Solomon Islands, in which the Yankee cruised three weeks, During this time, several members of the crew ascended only a few hundred »feet from ‘the tep of Tinikula, an active voleano erupting periodically. Admitting that one reason for the trip was the desire to get “scared”’ and enjoy the after-elfects of the “scare,” Capt. Jobnson said the group climbed up the windward side| where the eruption of red-hot rocks which skyrocketed into the sky and} back into the sea was not likely to be After witnessing the belching| felt. phenomenom, the inen started down the mountain. Reaching a point some distance down the mountain, they turned to see a shewer of boulders cover the spot upon which they only recently stood “It was.a, good thing for us. we got out of there when we did,” chuckled Capt. Johnson. Many Warships Seen War preparations are noticeable in many ports throughout the world, the skipper said. For example, many warships were sighted in Cape Town South Africa, Singapore and other bases. Two weeks were spent in the Cape Town area and the types™ of soldiers ranged from Scots to turbanwearing natives. The Hadley resident, who shot ‘35,000 feet of colored movies, used special underwater apparatus to photograph a sunken warship off Singapore. The Yankee maneuvered 50 close to the scene of the sinking, he said, that lazily rolling mines were visible from the apparatus. Only one section, Zanzibar, was found to be entirely blacked out during the ehtire trip, Johnson reported, although lights in other areas were dimmed considerably, Although the crew had made elaborate preparations for their stay on board, not one boatload of Nazi or Fascist ‘sailors whose ships had gone |; down, was to be seen. Nor were any submarines sighted on the high seas during the trip. |. �194i “In State Tourney Opening Friday is the group from ty Students Given Special Awards 26 Mrs. Warner Honored by High School Personnel June 16—At from with the Pro hammered pupils. merito were poviez, Mary Culver, Schools Hign Sacred Daniels, Faith Dresser, by tificates Mrs. of Warner senatorship included: to the cer- ton, Na- feé tional Student Congress, held in May at Lexington, Ky., to Lucius Merritt, Jr., and Russell Bisbee; degree of ex- cellence for earning 118 points, the largest number of points ever won at this school, to Lucius Merritt, Jr.: oT of h for 75 points, Russell , —~ omen Robert Newell; 44 POS its Nee y restee of merit, Fai Dresser ida.

Murdock of Jacksonville Expected to Start Boiling March 20; Notes Progress in Methods For more than half a century C. A. Murdock of Jacksonville, Vt., has annually tapped the sugar orchard on his has farm yielded and for longer its treasure Methods of than that sap. it Improve Many changes in the mechanical process of making maple sirup and Sugar have taken “place since Mr. Murdock began helping in the making of Vermont’s famous product on the family homestead 64 years ago. When he first began, wooden blocks three feet long and 16 inches in diameter were split in half, hewn out in the center and used to catch the sap as it was conveyed from tree to trough by means of a V-shaped spout. Next came the handmade unpainted wooden buckets larger at the bottom than at the top. Customs then changed and the 12-quart wooden buckets were used painted a bright red inside and out. . These, in turn, were succeeded by the 16-quart wooden bucket painted white intide. Last came the metal bucket which, itself, has gone through several changes as to shape and size. At first covers to prevent dirt and other foreign matter from getting into the sap and clogging the evaporator were of one-quarter inch thick wood the and buckets fastened to the buckets by means of a stiff wire. These again gave way | to the galvanized metal covers. The first spouts were fashioned of elderberry and sumac limbs cut to the desired length and then made into a pipe by pushing out the pith with a hot wire. Later the manufactured wooden spouts with wire hooks were used and were good for several sea| sons if carefully driven into the tree and removed without cracking. Now, | of course, the pressed steel spout and hook combined are used except in orchards that pipe the sap directly into the sugar house. The nails first used to hold place were covers handmade by the in village blacksmith with a head on about the the upper side only. At present, Mr. Murdock has about 3000 wooden and metal buckets with | covers and spouts as well as 2000 feet A team of horses and } of pipe line. truck are used to gather the sap. His largest storage tank holds about 40 barrels; there is one of 20-barrel capacity and several for emergency use. Two evaporators are in constant operation during sugar making time where often 850 gallons of sirup will be made in a single spring. As is the case with most good sugar makers, Mr. Murdock now employs a felt strainer on an improved settling tank. The sirup is put into cans and_ bottles of various sizes and he also makes sake sugar, soft sugar and cream sugar. Recalling some of his experiences many years ago, he told of gathering sap through two feet of snow when no team could be used. Snow shoes, a boat sled and a one-barrel tub were employed. Two years prior to that he boiled sap constantly for 14 days without ever letting the fire out day or night or going to his home. With the improved methods it is now possible to do all the boiling by daylight. Half a century ago it was customary to break open the roads through the sugar orchard a couple of weeks before boiling began; now a team can be driven over most of the orchard without even shoveling. Then he could hire good men for -$16 and board for a month of 26 working days, each day starting at ¥ a. m. and lasting until dark, Four yoke of oxen and two span of horses did the work, which is now accomplished with a _ single pair of horses and a truck.

And dedicate what I have to say, As friends and clans their tribute pay, At your little cottage farm today To your Golden Anniversary. Now Frank was fully satisfied Mary was made to be his bride, And would pull together with the tides, Until the day they closed their eyes. I know not just the words he said But brother Frank can use his head, Perhaps he did not have to beg, I presume the proper tears were shed. No mother-in-law took him to task, No mothers and fathers were even asked, No one in fact, had aught to say They simply gave themselves away. And without a candle, cat or cot, Frank went out and a license sought, Then to a clergy, and side by side My sister Mary became a bride. To sew the buttons on his pants And thus his comfort might enhance, And find a shirt once a year, fit to wear, At the town of Commington’s cattle fair. To wash and iron and scrub the floor, And every year do it o’er and o’er, Three times a day to cook the meals, No matter how jaded the body feels. And when at home at close of day, He hoped to find her blithe and gay But often found her the other way, Much to brother Frank’s dismay. However, that’s the way with human clay, You must live, give and take, they say, Or marriage bonds would bust each day, And children would go the orphan’s way. She, no doubt, thought it grand To have a man at her command, Some one to love and to scold, Some one to care for her when old. Some one to brush away her tears, Dispel her sorrows and calm her fears, Some one to drive away dull care, Some one to smooth her tangled hair. Some one she hoped she would suit, Some one who would not use his boot, Some one with whom to share life’s joys, And be the father of her boys. And Frank played mule and pulled the load, O’er many a hard and stony road, While Mary stuck to her abode, And did the house work as she chose. Thru years of sickness, disease and pain, Shadow and sorrow, drought and rain, Raging blizzards and hurricanes, They stiil held fast to their marriage claims. As when to Goshentown they came, To fight the future, lose or gain, And by the cows, pigs, hens and huy, Have lived to see this wedding day. For fifty years is quite a span, For any woman or any man, To be yoked together on the land, By the simple words of a clergyman. Having now reached the golden goal, And my foolish, jubilant story told, May it trace When a smile on memories scroll, this young couple are really old.

We are met here to do you honor and to dedicate anew our lives to passing on to our own children the principles of character which you have so nobly striven to inculcate in us. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. It is indeed a privilege for which we are grateful, one that comes to few sons and daughters. Fifty years of wedded life, intermingled with joy and such natural sorrows as man is heir to, stand as a monument to your mutual devotion and to the sanctity of marriage and family. We, your children, can never forget your loving care in our tender years nor your affectionate solicitude for our welfare in our mature years. You have given your all to and for us. It is far beyond our poor power to reward you. You do not ask it. But we shall be very happy, if today in some small measure you are conscious of our affection for you. As you look down the long vista of years well lived, may your sunset of life be suffused with a happiness that cannot be disturbed. The few joyous moments that we spend today in your presence will soon pass, but the sweet flower of today’s memory will live with us all. When we depart and gentle darkness drops its soft mantle over your beloved hill country, may the peace that passeth understanding be with you. May each new sunrise bring you joy.

At length weary and sad she sat down upon a stone and continued sitting nine days and nights in the open air, under the sunlight, moonlight and falling stars. Finally Ceres continued the search for her daughter from land to land and across the seas and rivers, till at length she returned to Sicily whence she at first set out. She stood by the bank of the river Cyane where Pluto with Ceres’ daughter made himself a passage to his own dominions. The river nymph would have told the goddess all she had witnessed but dared not for fear of Pluto. So she only ventured to take up the girdle which Proserpine had dropped, and waft it to the feet of Ceres. Ceres seeing this was no longer in doubt of her less, but she did not yet know the cause and laid the blame on the innocent land. Then the cattle died, the failed to plow come broke in the furrow, the up, there was too much seed sun, there was too much rain,—the birds stole the seeds,—thistles and brambles were the only growth. Finally a wood nymph informed Ceres of the fate of her daughter, telling her how Pluto had carried her to Jupiter to his underground home. When Ceres heard this story she was greatly distressed and hastened to the throne of Jupiter. She implored her stay procure the return of her daughter. Jupiter consented on tion, namely that Proserpine should one condinot during food. to demand in the Accordingly, lower world Mercury was have sent taken any Proserpine of Pluto. The wily monarch consented,—but, alas, the maiden had taken a pomegranate which Pluto had offered her and had eaten a few of the seeds. This was enough to prevent her complete release, but a compromise was made, by which she was to pass half the time with her mother and the rest with Pluto. Ceres allowed herself to be pacified with this arrangement and restored the earth to favor. Thus the failure of the crops typifies the carrying off of Proserpine by Pluto, and as the seed corn when cast into the ground, lies there concealed and then re-appears, so Proser- pine is alternately taken away and restored to her mother. Some authorities state that the pleak winter months are due to Proserpine’s stay with Pluto and Spring and Summer returns when she returns to her mother, Ceres. The worship of Ceres surpassed all other religious celebrations among the Greeks, and was among the most important. e GRANGE eternal. Here* Proserpine was playing gathering lilies and violets when Pluto saw her, loved her, and carried her off. She screamed for help to her mother and companions.

Soon after retirement, she came to Springfield to live. In telling of her teaching career, she said that while she had started at a particularly young age, 17, to teach, trouble - with her eyes had | made it necessary that she. give ! up the work after the first years. Some years later, when her eyes were recovered so that she could resume her profession, she “felt she did not know enough” and so enrolled in Westfield Normal School, as it was then known.

The mansion is now occupied by A. H. Chapin and is situated at 4 Crescent Rd. Affording a splendid view of the city, the original house on the site was designed by Calvert Vaux of Boston. An architect’s book of design published in 1864 showed the house in the process of construction. It was originally built by George E. Howard, who sold it to Edward Brewer. The residence then fell into the hands of H. Curtis Rowley, president of the G. & C. Merriam Company, who later sold it to Mr. Chapin who has occupied it for many years. The last three owners have rebuilt and altered the mansion extensively. Mr. Chapin will move to the former Whitcomb house at 15 Mulberry St. The mansion was named “Paignton” home of the early Chapins. in memory a of the English �Tribute Is Paid to Ch urch’s First Pastor : é : : Don Jose Browning Photo One of the high lights ef, the 50th anniversary services of the First Congregational Church at Worthington yesterday was the placing of wreaths on the graves of former ministers particularly on the graves of the church’s firs t ministers.

I coaxed him to my sun-swept floor, With crumbs tossed through my open door ; I held a branch of snow-white birch To make for him a steady perch ; I mimicked his low, liquid note To win a warble from his throat; Of straw I wove a little bed, I lined it soft with feathers red. Alas, he stretched And flew to where his sapphire wings, his high nest swings glint and night-winds On lofty dark-green hemlock bough, Where mornings sough. I took a bonnet cast aside And made it neat with riband wide ; I stitched a robe with lining warm, A red wool shawl threw ’cross my arm; I walked a mile to widow’s cot To give, nor wine nor corn forgot ; I washed her babe and swept her room, Garnished with flowers to break the gloom ; The Collect, Prayers and Scripture read, In Shepherd’s Psalm the children led. Homeward I went at close of day, Five early stars told its decay, I stooped to ope my low door wide, The blue bird’s nest was built inside ! From ili Jao th i THE CHURCHMAN May 20, 1916.

Tribute by See page 6. Dr. Stewart at the Service Willard in Chapel “In such a company as this it is not necessary that any eulogy should be pronounced. We are Mrs. Creelman’s friends and neighbors and our presence here this evening is an attempt to express something of what she meant to us. Scarcely a person present to whom Mrs. Creelman has not endeared herself by some kindly thoughtfulness; some gracious remembrance that has deeply touched us. It may have been a card on a birthday, or a note on an anniversary — some little gift or poem, poem perhaps that she had written herself. In countless ways by intimate personal touch she added to our joys and shared our troubles. For she was genuinely interested in people; — not people in the mass, or the abstract, but as individuals. She was interested in you and in me and eager to render us a kindly service, “She was specially interested in the students of the Seminary, and I see here this evening many former students who have come longer or shorter distances to pay this last tribute of appreciation. They will long remember the many happy hours spent in their home, for Mrs. Creelman was a frequent and always a gracious hostess, with Dr. Creelman by her side, an equally charming host. “She had wider interests too — in art and china, in antique furniture, in literature and poetry. And she was a poet in her own right, giving beautiful poetic expression to kindly thoughts. But these wider horizons never caused her to lose sight of the persons who were near at hand. They were her primary interest. “Tt is for this that we cherish her memory. And we are all grateful for having known her, and for the enriching that has come to us by reason of the courtesy and kindness, the friendliness of this cultured, charming, gracious woman.” �Tribute by Dr. Reed at the Service Worthington, at The following is one of Mrs. Creelman’s unpublished poems, ‘Written mid-winter, 1913,”’ which she entitled: Mass. ““T will lift up mine eyes unto the hills. From whence cometh my help? My help cometh from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.’ “Among these hills, which Mrs. Creelman loved, from which she drank inspiration, from whose Maker she received help and courage, we gather to pay our loving tribute to her memory. “Many she spent of you knew so many her best here in Worthington summers, long or short. where “She was best known to me in her beautiful home in Auburn, where for more than thirty years she and Dr. Creelman were a large and influential part of the Seminary circle. Her home was a center of gracious hospitality to that ever changing Seminary family of students, who came from other homes all over the world, stayed for three short years, and then scattered far and wide, finding homes of their own, and furnishing them in part with the memories and influences of Seminary life. “In many of these homes I visited in the years past; and there was no one of the well-remembered Auburn Seminary group for whom former students inquired with greater eagerness, interest and affection, than for Dr. and Mrs. Creelman. “Tn the city of Auburn the number of their friends, warm and genuine, has been remarkably large; men and women from THE LAST MESSENGER I hear thee coming in the distance far, Like sound of bells that tinkle on the necks Of lambs. The sound seems coming past the hill. I am not ready though I hear thee come; I must in mercy heed the widow’s cry, And walk two miles where only one was asked, Bestow my coat and cloak on needy man, My brother more than seventy times forgive. I am not ready now, my prayers not said Enough, and yet I surely hear thee come, And now thou art not very far away. Oh, let me utter the unspoken word; ‘There ever seemed to be beyond more time For good: to love my neighbor as myself, Perchance to lay my life down for a friend. Yet now I know thou surely comest near! I hear, I hear! but oh, remember, Death, every walk of life. The good I would have done! “Often I have heard some one say: ‘Mrs. Creelman is a real gentlewoman; genuinely a Christian lady; never does she say an unkind word or think an unkind thought of any one.’ And I must pass with thee from earth this night. “She was pre-eminently guileless — one in whose spirit there was no guile. She was tactful, hopeful, cheerful, peaceful. She was generous, magnanimous, courteous, noble. “She loved ‘high things and great’; she loved beauty, color, poetry, music, flowers, birds and all of Nature’s wonder and mystery. Most of all, she was one who loved her fellow-men; loved friends and friendship and friendliness; loved life, and all that makes life refreshing, ennobling, protecting, immortal. “To her fragrant memory, and to the immortality of her influence we offer today our tribute of affection and gratitude.” I am not ready yet. Thou comest on! Not one day more? Oh, may I find that thou art not unkind, Nor fear of evil in the shadowed vale. Through all my days hath goodness followed me, I, ever, in Jehovah’s house shall dwell! The sound of bells grows nearer, sweet it is, It fainter grows and now I fall asleep. �can ernest emma a ee Le THURSDAY | SEPTEMBER 5, 1940 Worthington .

In retrospect he said:— “My father, Augustus Caesar Frissell, died when I was four weeks old, leaving a widow and six children, the eldest of whom was 14. Some of the wise men of Peru went to my mother and told her the farm would have to be sold to settle the estate and the family separated among relatives. My mother rebelled. ‘I shall defy the law,’ she said. ‘I shall keep my family together.’ And she did. “During 'weather and her that and terrible great children depth cared winter of of zero snow for 14 head she of stock.

Here it is. The “Ox-Cart Neep” “Years ago, in the days of mys fatker and Will Bartlett, they scoured| the Chesterfield woods 10 and 15 miles to find an ash-tree suitable for their purpose. That was my custom at first. But one day, while wandering through the forest, as good fortune would have it, I chanced on an ash grove, owned, as I learned, by a real estate man in Springfield.

Irving Johnson of the Yankee, will sail from New York Monday aboard an Egyptian vessel, El Nil, to meet her son in Cape Town, South Africa, Her mind is made up and no amount, of warning about .war and submarines has deterred her in the slightest from her purpose. To her family’s warning that the ship might meet a sub, she said: Just Another Adventure “If I ever see a submarine, that will just be another adventure.” And when asked what she would do if the submarine blew the ship up, she declared that she has lived longer than she expected to, anyway. The boat itself is something that has given another son, Roger, a good laugh. The ship El Nil is captained by an Englishman and the four mates are sailors of assorted nationalities. The crew, he said, is made up entirely of Arabs, red fezzes and all. Roger hasn't quite convinced his mother, however, that the ship’s hold will be filled with camels. Considerable difficulty was experienced trying to get a passport for the passage and her return trip home on the Yankee. After several months of snipping themselves out of a snarl] of State Department red tape, a pass- port finally was obtained. Only last week, however, all passports were recalled for new stamps... When Mrs, Johnson received her passport again it bore a stamp making it possible for her to travel anywhere m the Western Hemisphere. But that was all. She went to Boston and after a long distance call to the State Department in Washington was finally" given approval to gc to Capetown. Because the Yankee carries no passengers she had to be signed up as a member of the crew forthe return voyage. She was listed.as “blacksmith.” Passage to Capetown will take about a month and it will be another}: month before the Yankee arrives at Capetown. Her son said she might stay with friends, the Ninham Shands, in Capetown until the arrival of Capt. Johnson, or she might take another boat and anum a year Shands meet visited the ago. him at Beira.

To the Victorians Dickens was an extremeiy popular novelist. His characters were in the language just as the comic strips are today.. Everyone knew and talked about Pip and Dombey, Mr. Pickwick and Scrooge as we are familiar with Terry and the Pirates, Superman and all the rest. Direction Is Marvelous Today no one has the time or int clination to wade through the lengthy stories of Dickens but there is such a wealth of material in each story that a dozen movies could be made from each. Dickens’ mission was to show contrasts in English society ‘nd the horrible brutality which existed toward the lower classes and children, To get these queer characters onto the screen so that they might be understood by us today was the stupendous task of the director, David Lean. As in “Brief Encounter” and “Blithe Spirit” he has done a marvelous job. The production is not lavish as Hollywood would do it but rather depends on excellent acting in every member of the cast. Anthony Wager, who is Pip as a boy, is as charming a child as we have ever seen on the screen. He stays Pip until he -is 14, then when the transition comes and Pip is grown and he is played by John Miils. it is so cleverly done that you have to keep looking to see which one it is. The little girl, Hstella Jean Simmons, does a good bit in an*unsympathetic role. She has been adopted by a queer, typically Dickensian character, Miss Havisham, who wants her to torture all men, to revenge an unhappy love affair of this eccentric woman. The story of “Great Expectations” is complicated and full of side plots. In main, it concerns a little hoy who is an orphan and takes food to an] escaped convict. The convict is aj twisted character like all of Dickens| people. He prospers and.supplies Fip with money to make a gentleman of| him. | Of course Pip and Estella are in} love and finally marry.

In olden days the month of April was dedicated to Eastre. There creak when As Spring festivals with dancing and singing and feasting | were held in her honor. Colorful crowds in their finest dress young swains everywhere made merry wooed bore their tidings in of the ladies the market and birth places,| laughter of spring. Legend has it that the sun danced on Easter morning. The “Big Parade” of Easter Day| _ originates from the old superstition that it is | unlucky not to wear something new on that day. The original Christian Easter was really a thanksgiving festival. Feast tables were set within the churches. The rabbit or hare as an Easter from upon symbol arises the fact that the Easter date is dependent the moon, and the hare, in ancient my- thology, was supposed to come out and play, produce its young, and carry on most of its activities by the light of the moon. The egg as a symbol of Eastertide symbolizes birth, new life, a reawakening, about to the egg or seed. It is a day of reflection spiritual and material, come forth on the good that are from things, constantly re- newed by the urge of all things to grow and aspire upward. To us of. this hemisphere it co- incides with the awakening of spring. Flowers and fields are brightening and all around are evidences of the supernal goodness of life. We have come to a springtime when the sleep of winter ends and the blue skies and warming | sun and returning birds bid a dormant world arouse itself and become again the lovely, ing creature it once was. Easter is a day on which we celebrate feast of Resurrection, commemorating the umph of life over death, echoing with puls- | the. tri- those in- timations of immortality the saddest skeptic never wholly banishes from the depths of his consciousness. Like the earth, man seeks to renew himself in the annual resurrection of the spring. This is an impulse beyond reason. | | Easter repeats the word all generations of men lean to hear: “Though He be dead, He shall } | live.” In this resurrection of the spirit as in the perennial response to the message of Easter, it is plain that more than the habit and ritual groove the paths we follow.

Bartlett Home Worthington, Feb. 13—Fire of undetermined origin damaged the residence of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Bartlett. on Tuesday. None of the family was home at the time the fire was discovered by Eben L. Shaw, who had passed the house at 12 noon when everything seemed all| right, but when he returned 15 minutes later smoke was pour- ing from the lower part of the building. Mr. Shaw drove to Pal- mer’s garage where the fire truck is housed and after telephoning the alarm, started back with the truck. The newly or- ganized volunteer fire depart- ment responded with alacrity and no doubt saved the home from there complete destruction as was a wind of gale propor- tions blowing at that time. Mr. Bartlett was called home from his work on the state highway and Mrs. Bartlett, who is cook for the school lunch project, was also called. Damage from fire was confined to the living room | and a near-by clothes closet, but the whole house was very badly smoked and the family lost much clothing.

In 1633 its leader and first minister, the Reverend Thomas Hooker, was welcomed from England and “‘recognized”’ as minister. In 1636 the Church moved as a church body over the Bay Path to the west bank of the Connecticut River where they settled and in 1637 named their settlement Hartford. This was done in honor of the town of Hertford, England, the birthplace of Reverend Samuel Stone, teacher of the church with Thomas Hooker. THE FIRST MEETING HOUSE was built in 1636. It was a plain square structure and served as the meeting place of the new settlement for both religious and civic purposes. It stood near the present site of the Old State House. THE SECOND MEETING HOUSE was built in 1640 and was also near the site of the Old State House. ae —= | ae ae? = THE FIRST was “gathered” THE THIRD MEETING HOUSE was built in 1739 “on the corner of the Burying Ground” — where the Meeting House now stands.

HISTORICAL IN 1639 a significant step was taken in the political development of the towns which constituted the Colony upon the Connecticut. The representatives of Windsor, Hartford and Wethersfield met and framed called the “Fundamental CENTER NOTE we should now call Orders,” what they a document a “Constitution,” to which order direct the government of their united communities. and In the shaping of this document the minister of the Hartford Church, Thomas Hooker, had great influence and it may not be too much to claim for him that it was under his inspiration — perhaps especially under the inspiration of a notable sermon preached by him when tution” these delegates took form. assembled — that this “Consti- �UNDOUBTEDLY he had strong support from the leaders in the other towns and notably from Roger Ludlow, the civic leader of the Windsor community. It may be that it was Hooker’s idealism as to the possibility of a government wherein every person should find an adequate place that stirred the repre- sentatives of the three towns to undertake the framing of this instrument, while it was the trained hand of Ludlow that fashioned the terms in which it was formulated. There is honor enough in the significance of the event to provide distinction for all concerned in it.

This old toby, or pitcher, was made at Whately in 1853 and bears the mame of E. G. Crafts. Although Whately is‘one of the oldest towns in the Connecticut Valley there is distinctly an expression to the face and features and to the decorations at the base which would make one think that it might have come from the tomb of King “Tut.’ This has caused much theory and speculation among the pottery experts. Thistle, Rose and Shamrock. The toby is u trifle more than inches in hight and about inches at its widest part. The seven seven decodark rations are of gilt, red and green, and the face is the regular light pottery color. Three stars are on euch side between rim and hunalle top and the upplied decorations on each side combine the thistle, rose and shamrock, doubtless a tribute to the founder of the Crafts family in America, Griffin Crafts, who came from Yorkshire, Eng. on Gov.: Winthrop’s agship the “Arabella,” and settled in Roxbury in 1681, Across the forehead of the grotesque face Ws the legend, indented in the pottery, “A. iiend. ‘To, My.

First Whately broken off,— attempted to Pottery. The toby pitcher is, of ,course, very probably of political significance, but what the reason was for its making would be next to impossible to ascertain. Thomas Spencer Crafts, now living at Northampton,,a nephew of |. E.G. Crafts, and a grandson of Thomas Crafts, who established the first Crafts pottery plant at Whately in 1802, could only say, relative to the political significance of the toby, that all of the Crafts family had always been strongly Democratic. Mr. Crafts, now 72 years of age, is the son of James H. Crafts, who was also a potter of note, sueceeding to the business of his father in 1818, fr. G. Crafts, wnose name the toby hears, was Elbridge Gerry Crafts, an uncle of Mr.*Crafts. EE. G.

The history of Whately, printed in 1899, and compiled by James M. Crafts, says: “About: 1802 Thomas Crafts commenced the pottery business near where Lyman <A. Crafts now resides, but removed it to Clayerack in 1806, and was interested as owner or in company with others until 1847, manufacturing common brown earthenware 1821 until 1832 he until 1821. kept six or From eight hands at work making black teapots to the value of about ,4000 per a year. He remodeled his shop and commenced in 1833 the manufacture of stoneware, continuing for 15 years.” Bears The history the son, E; G. on the toby, Son’s Name. makes no Crafts, whose being mention of name associated is with his father in business, though doubtless he was in such association, for juter he, too, became a potter. “Perhaps it was during some stirring political strife that the futher made the pitcher and stamped. his son’s name upon it. Thomus Spencer Crafts and other members of the family now liying are quite sure that this toby is the only one of its kind ‘ever made. Mr. Crafts is of the opinion that it was made by Thomus Crafts, although it bears his son’s name. Te says that Thomas Crafts was a potter of unusual skill, who might have turned out such an exceedingly difficult piece of the potter's art, while WHATELY family tradition credits Elbridge Gerry Crafts with being simply an ordinarily good potter, but not by any manner of means possessing the skill of his father. Thomas Spencer Crafts feels sure at age of that never had the skill piece on his potfers the 19. E. G, Crafts to turn such a wheel, especially -Mr. Crafts. said that the family from whom the toby was purchased had. for many years been close friends of the family of his uncle and he thought it very likely that the cider toby was a ‘family piece’ which was presented at some time or other to the people who eventually sold it. �hg <9 orthifictbtt S ociety Fair, Fancy Work Sale On Aug. 17 'Town Hall Scene of Event for Which President, Mrs. John Ames, Has Named Committee Worthington, Aug. 11—The Women’s Benevolent Society will conduct annual Fair and Sale of fancy on Aug. 17 at the Town Hall.

Henry, Training Program at Smith College; Also Pays Visit to Classes at Mount Holyoke �The humane Scenes area complete dolight : —New York Times CLAUDIA ahea Kaliont By ROSE Comedy Hit FRANKEN Author of ANOTHER LANGUAGE This is the charming and delightful Broadway smash hit, produced in New York by John Golden, with Dorothy McGuire and Donald Cook in the leading roles. The play is based on the popular stories by Miss Franken. It broke box office records all over the country with as many as three companies playing it at the same time; it has been purchased by the motion ' pictures, made into a radio serial; and it made a star of its leading lady almost overnight. And now it can be offered to many amateur groups and schools which have been searching for the "perfect play." "Unpredictable as a June morning and twice as rare," as one of the critics said, Claudia is married to David, a promising young architect, and they live on a farm outside New York. Although Claudia is physically of age, she is mentally still a little girl, with an attachment to her mother which has prevented her full emergence into womanhood. Her mother is no more happy over this state of affairs than is David; both understand the problem and realize that life will not continue to grant Claudia the consummate happiness and security she enjoys at the rise of the curtain. In the space of twenty-four hours, Claudia passes three important milestones. First, she tries to arouse jealousy in her husband by practising her sex appeal on a British author. Second, she discovers that she is going to have a child, and hard on the heels of this revelation is her finding out that her mother has a short time to live. The story of the play deals with Claudia's meeting of life and her acquiescence to the demands but she has achieved a that living makes upon her. The final curtain finds her still the same engaging spiritual stature which promises a rich and happy fulfillment of her marriage. The critics went “all out'' for CLAUDIA young woman, by giving it round after round of journalistic applause. "Gentlemen in white ties and their jeweled ladies threw sophistication to the winds last night and stood on their seats at the Booth. . . Miss Franken's new play was thunderously received . . . sparkling dialogue . amusing and tender, rippling with laughter.''"—New York Journal American. “It is, indeed, a study of life and death, written in simple, direct, but compassionate terms.

In time of war this state of mind is fairly vociferous. There are those who, with considerable justification, look for deep and probing drama on world conditions. A packed house at the Academy of Music last night heralded the return of the legitimate drama to this city with the highly entertaining presentation of | A “Claudia.” A last-minute substitution in two roles did not hamper amount of dramatic substance. “Claudia” met these latter requirements.

Miss Franken, it is said, summoned it from mind to paper in five weeks’ time. More than writing facility was necessary to achieve the goal successfully. One may believe she lived long with her characters—until they were not only her companions but one another’s. “Claudia” is not a great play as the theater measures its progeny. But it belongs to life, which is more than can be said of most. It is the kind of entertaimment we the public can do with happily because of its comforting assertion that the garden variety of people persist in the midst of a tumbling world. This is the type entertainment we can and will respond to now.

From the modern point of view, she pointed out,Elizabethan actors seem a little crude, but “I am not sure that that could have been so. . . that kind of acting would not have been adequate to Shakespeare’s plays.” The clear- est account of the pitfalls of acting either in Shakespeare’s time or any other, she showed, was given by Shakespeare himself in “Hamlet.” the passage warns Miss some Webster in actors quoted which Hamlet who are to give a court performance against a number of these pitfalls.

PRINCIPAL TELLS BOARD PROBLEMS OF GRADE SCHOOL | Outlines Principal’s Problems Miss Bartlett. Says Many _ Pupils Bear Responsibilities ‘Older People Loathe to Miss “Perhaps the most difficult are the jirresponsible parents, unwilling to accept their share of the child’s training,’ Miss Bartlett observed. “Children should be sent to school on time, reasonably clean and free from the drag of emotional storms within the family. Tardiness, continued absence and truancy are bad habits.” In Miss Bartlett’s schools are two kindergarten classes, nine grade 1 to | 6 classes, three special, two open air, two adult education classes, a manjual training shop, a dental clinie, showers for childreun, a wartime child-care center and lunchroom. In addition, the school is used for Red Cross first aid classes, a recreation center for adults and for Boy Scout] meetings as well as many other com-|) munity projects. Outlines Potential Program Among the activities planned for this year at Howard Street school Miss Bartlet listed the starting of a PTA, equipping a visual aids room, reorganizing and expanding the nursery school and child care center, starting a school council, planning assemblies for the year, and a parents’ day in March and a program directed toward growth in democratic citizenship on the part .of teachers and pupils. After sketching the numerous administrative and supervisory tasks faced by the principal, Miss Bartlett pointed out that money is collected weekly for seven purposes: child care, lunch, milk, savings, war savings |“Most of this money Wartime) crackers, bank and. salvage. comes in small ‘sums but it runs into considerable }amounts and every penny must be accounted for. Stamps and _ bonds must be purchased, distributed and prayed over that they may arrive safely.” | Asked by a board member if. this city shouldn’t follow the lead of New Jersey in barring the sale of war bonds and stamps in the public, schools because some children can't afford to buy them, Miss Bartlett said that she didn’t agree. “We have to finance this war,” she commented, and added that the sales at her school were not conducted as a contest and that children were counted in toward the minute man award, even if they purchase only one 10-cent stamp monthly, of Howard Street sent principal Reports Hu- man Side to School Board Children Undertake’ The manifold responsibilities of an elementary school principal to the school and the community were described to the school board last night by Miss Marion L. Bartlett, principal of Howard Street school. A big problem, complicated _by the attitude of some parents and calling for “endless pa|tience and a sense of humor” is the maintenance of regular attendance by pupils, Miss Bartlett stated. Many elementary school children are carrying responsibilities “much oldei people are loathe to undertake,” such as waiting in crowded stores for the daily supply of fuel oil or for several quarts of milk.

His opponent is Otis O. Oakes who has held the office twice in other years. Old time residents of the Berkshire hilltop town say the reason for this political calm, the most. pronounced in 40 years, is the war. So many are employed at high wages at Dalton and Pittsfield they simply haven't time to seek town offices, or hold them if elected. The Peru roads are now clear of snowdrifts and while the polls will oe open during hours convenient for workers out of town it is predicted comparatively few will remain for the grand free-for-all fun of the ufternoon. Voters and visitors have been requested to patronize the noon luncheon concession given by the selectmen to Mrs Chester Harding Dodge, who is to sell sandwiches, doughnuts and coffee, the proceeds to go towards the purchase of an honor roll to be placed in the town hall. Seven Peru young men are now in the armed service and the town is proud of this record out of a population, in 1940, of 142. Although Peru workers at the General Electric plant, Pittsfield, and at the Crane and Weston paper mills, Dalton, contributed towards the recent Red Cross Berkshire county campaign at their places of employment Peru raised its full quota of $40 through the efforts of Mrs Dodge, town chairman, who is a daughter of Mrs Rose T. Smith, town clerk and treasurer, To Propose Purchase of War Bonds Selectman Rath is to propose at the town meeting that $5000 of the cash balance of $13,249 on hand December 31, be used for the purchase of war bonds; that $5000 be left as a working balance in the treasury and the remainder, $3249 be used toward a reduction in the tax rate, which in 1942 was $50. The total assessed valuation of Peru is around $280,000. Selectman Rath, who also is fice. He is chairman of the Republican town committee. Thomas Butler quit as chairman of the Demoeratic town committee several years ago and his successor never has been elected. A leading Republican said today: “Peru Democrats are more searce than hens’ teeth.” Bass Viol Shocked Minister Several of the eldest of the 12 menbers of the Peru Congregational church, now open only in summer, with Rev Samuel R. Swift, Hinsdale, preacher, remember their grandfathers tell abcut the ancient bass viol that once shocked a Peru prelate of the old fashioned kind. In 1924 this historic instrument was owned by Frederick A. Dean of Springfield. In 1848, just 100 years ago, Peru Congregationalists had a sort of a “musical revival.” Singing was approved, but most of the choir leaders took their pitch from a pitch pipe. A new spirit was at work and certain ambitious souls in the ehurech wanted an instrument that would really enrich their singing, so a double bass was decided upon. Franklin Stowell was the leader of the choir, several of whose members had heard that a church “down Boston way” had a double bass viol and it added greatly to the dignity of the service. If a viol worked wonders for the music in a _ Boston church, why not Peru? So a number of the leading families, including the Stowells, Haskins, Bowens, Watkins, Rockwells, Peirces, Ides, underwrote the purchase of the instrument from Woodbury & Burditt, Boston. It was a full-sized instrument Standing a little over six feet, compared with a three quarters instru- ment now used by phony — orchestra. leaders who the All had a Boston Symthe church musical ear wanted to iearn to play it, and the serious job of mastering the instrument was finally delegated, after many trials, to Deacon Ebenezer Haskell. After several months of practice, he was adjudged sufficiently skilled to play at a church service. <A sixfoot double bass then as now can give forth quite a little music, and old Deacon Haskell sawed and sawed with his bow while members of the choir sang as never before. Rev Joseph Knight, the minister, stretched his neck to learn how this extraordinary sound came from the choir loft. “Siop! Put Away That Fiddle!” At the conclusion of the final hymn the minister stretched out his arms in expostulation, not benediction, and in a_ thundering voice shouted: “Stop! Put away that big fiddle! It’s sacrilege in the house of the Lord. And we won't stand it. Don’t ever let me hear it again.” Apparently he never did, although he remained as minister of the church until 18 The sinners quickly saw that Mr Knight meant business and the costly bass viol was tucked away in a little cupboard under the stairs that led to the belfry of the old, white meetinghouse. The last survivor of the underwriting group that was formed to buy the instrument was the grandfather of B. F. Stowell, formerly of 79 Dawes street, Springfield, and the instrument came to him, After two older brothers of Mr Stowell had discovered the viol in the church: cupboard, it had a short life tax collector, is the financial genius who has placed Peru, during the past few years, in the front rank of. wellmanaged western Massachusetts towns.

If used today at a summer service in Peru the viol probably would not be regarded as “sacrilege in the house of the Lord.” The bass the little was originally a three-stringed instrument, but Mr Dean had an extra key installed and the old fashioned end pin replaced. The well-preserved instrument has a degree of artistry and craftsmanship unusual in early American bass viols. Members of Peru church wonder if this bass viol which proved such a shock to Rev Mr Knight 100 years ago is still in Springfield. Meetinghouse Burned in 1895 The Peru meetinghouse, which for nearly 90 years was a landmark, burned February 22, 1895. It was dedicated in 1808. When the federal geodetic survey was made in 1845 its spire, at about 2300 feet elevation, was a principal bench mark. The structure was built upon a rock and honor. Daniel Stowell, a noted hewer of his day, fashioned the foundation pine beams each 24 inches square. The first shingles on the roof were split by hand from a giant pine that grew nearby. Shadrack Pierce, Peru native, was the architect and all lumSer for the edifice was cut within a short radius. In 1848 the interior with the old- fashioned box pews and gallery was remodeled. The church had 14 wine dows on each side. In 1870 the 819pound bell cracked while being rung for a fire, and was recast. It is reported to have been a Paul Revere bell. At one time Peru church had over 100 members with 60 in the choir. Of the present membership of 11, eight are women and three men. The society, Which was incorporated in 1792, has a present endowment of $2000. The officers are: Moderator, Rev Samuel R. Swift of Hinsdale; clerk, Mrs Rose T. Smith; deaconess, Mrs Chester Harding Dodge; treasurer, Mrs Herbert Fairbanks; trustees, Mrs Rose T. Smith, Mrs Herbert N. Smith and Mrs Dodge. Most of Mr Swift's. salary, which totals about $250, is paid by the Massachusetts Congregational Missionary society. An old-time poem called “Sugar Maples,” has two verses about Peru's former meetinghouse reading as follows: / The waters from the west roofside Sought Housatonic’s busy tide And turned the millwheels brooks gave which which it found Upon its journey to the sound The drops which on its east roof fell With countless others went to swell The Connecticut’s constant sea-seeking tribute wave, �BMeaningsOf The * ——— | 1943.

An armored division usually armored personnel will have elements of light and medium tanks, motorized infantry and carriers, artillery on self-propelled mounts, motorized engineers and a unit of armored cars and motorcyclists for reconnaissance purposes. �apail a 14.1743 Says People Need To Find Selves and Bring Out the Best Dr. Stauffer, Speaking at Smith, Cites Improvyement in Paul After Met Jesus Christ He Speaking at the Smith college vesper service yesterday afternoon in John M.

Van Olinda Wik street is the symbol of something that has disappeared) from the Albany picture. It is one) of the streets that still retains “atmosphere;” atmosphere like rose jar, shattered in a which; thous and pieces, still retains the scent of the petals with which it was once Pilled. True, the march of progress has crept up the short street that begins at Eagle street and ends at South Hawk, speaking in the social sense, of course, but Elk etreet is still Elk street, notwithstanding, Hardly a name in American history, governors—yes, and presidents of the United States—have at one time or another been inscribed on the guest books of the dwellers in Elk street. The story is told that the late Major Harmon Pumpelly Read, himself a dweller in Elk street, while taking a walk through Academy Park which is the southern boundry, a conversation who discussed ing to the overheard between two women the vicinity. Point- row of houses, one said to the other: “See them houses? That’s ‘Quality Row’—That’s where the big bugs live. Guess if we knew about them people’s lives, it would read like a book.” And so it would. According to old plans of the city drawn by Simeon DeWitt in 1794, the streets of Albany running north and south were named for birds, while those running east and west were called after beasts, A wag of the time speaks of them as “the two-legged and four-legged” streets. Under British rule, what is now Washington avenue was King street. Then it became Lion street, and later, Washington street. Little State was then “Deer;” Lancaster was “Tiger” and Hudson avenue was “Buffalo,” while Canal street, now Sheridan avenue was “F6x, for the Foxenkill which ran through that section. Eagle was known as “Duke street; Big State was Prince, and Elk street, formerly Queen, and well-named it was too in events. A the great light deal of of later Elk social street was made by levelling off the hill where the old Boys academy still stands. As the city grew, the steep hills were graded used to fill the Academy Park and the materials ravines and gullies. was once the city dump. ‘When the foundations of the Academy were being built, the refuse was taken out, dumped and levelled street on which the north had, side up to of that Elk time been a kind of glorified goat path. With more dumping behind Elk street, Spruce street appeared and the lots on the edge of the ravinejy were purchased for the most part by the owners of Elk street property for stables. Older Albanians will recall the disreputable old tenement, called by the Elk streeters in derision “The Delevan” after the hotel of the same name, For years this building looked as if it might moment, roll and Through Charles mer down the probably the hill Summer any did at last. courtesy Hamlin, Huybertie at Pruyn, of the we Mrs. for- were enabled to publish portions of one of her numerous writings about her early life which is captioned: “Coming Out Years Our Wedding.” We and had Through selected Charles Sumner Albany woman, items which told of several humorous incidents at the time she necame engaged to Hamlin of Boston, one of America’s most distinguished public figures in Washington.

Every-| one wore a hat; those who ordinarily wear a hat, wore more hat, and those who usually wear none, covered their heads with wreaths of flowers or circlets of cherries. Hats were flossy, flamboyant and fussy; in many cases elegant and expensive. Many were fantastic enough to be caricatures. Millinery trends were torn to tatters. Shepheardess _ silhouettes, solid with flowers, sailed along next to flower-pot hats. There: were hats with roses piled high and others with daisies strewn wide. Natural straw was banked, steeped, drowned in a profusion of pansies, lilies, violets, marigolds, cornflowers. Flowers were not left alone but enveloped in yards of veiling that swirled heavenhigh.

The Right Rev. William T. Manning, Protestant Episcopal Bishop of New York, in his first public appearance in the cathedral since just before Dec. 7 when he went to St. Luke’s Hospital for treatment for rheumatism, occupied his official seat in the sancturay during part of the service.

A picturesque part of the desert’ scene, the camel’s body was equipped for travel over the sand, long before streamlining was heard of, A camel's foot acts on sand as a snowshoe does on snow. Although the camel may be supporting a great weight, it will not sink, The beast’s eyelashes are especiially long and its wide nostrils can be narrowed to slits in order to keep out the sand, Chest and knees are padded with leathery calluses affording protection from sand abrasions. Sight and smell are acute, and camels can endure from six to ten days without water. One camel can carry as much as half a ton 25 miles a day. Wherever } a few he retired.

Camel milk is drunk by humans and animals alike. When the camel is slaughtered, rope, robes and tents are made from its hair; -water bottles, shoes and boots are fashioned from the skin, Camel meat is considered a delicacy, while the hump supplies fat for eating and cooking. What Camel's Hump Means Among common misconceptions avout the camel is the idea that a dromedary is distinguished by a single hump. Actually, a dromedary is a “thoroughbred” camel that can travel at great speed. It differs from or- dinary camels because of its sensitive nose, little ears, slender legs, high belly-line, and straight line from hump to hump. One-humped camels are Arabian, or African camels, ‘They are generally sandy in color, stand approximately seven feet high, and can tolerate the Sahara’s heat for long periods at a time.

Many a cameleer has suffered vicious bites and been deaf- ened by his camel’s snarling disapproval of too heavy a burden. ‘They are stupid animals,, unable to learn anything beyond when to rise and when to kneel.

More than 40 of them, representing pretty nearly an honor roll of the great American craft of clockmaking of a certain period, are being exhibited daily until Christmas and, although Jones library has distinguished itself - often in the past for the value and ‘variety of its cultural offerings, this particular showing has heen attracting very wide attention among the discriminating and perceptive, and among those for whom the hearing and seeing of so many clocks at once is a real treat. The sound of them, each alive and ticking, would be beguiling to people of all ages, since the innocent sound a clock is one of the earliest of childhood pleasures, and continues to be a pleasure all through life. A glance at the guest book on the table in the room shews that persons with an address in Sweden, a country that has not been among the least in the making of timepieces, have Come to see the exhibit, as well as others from every New England state, and from as far away as Washington, D.C. Many The Famous exhibit ,charmed by is the Types not Included only sounds of for people so many ‘clocks, going ‘at once, but also for those whose appreciation of them has been refined to the point where they care about the makers of the clocks and cases. Louvre ‘roster Here, of in American of fact, makers is clocks. a includes’ little The Seth Thomas, Eli Terry, Chauncey Jerome and Silas Hoadley. There are clocks by lesser-known masters, some of whom worked in this vicinity; clocks with noteworthy local cennections, and some examples of the finest flowering of America’s first precision mechanical industry. About 380 of the clocks are the property of Mr and Mrs Amos G. Avery of Amherst, two avid seekers after the best in this kind of crafts- matiship, whose collection runs to almost 150, nearly all of them in running order. They have culled the most interesting clocks from their collection for this exhibit. The idea for the unique display is that of Charles R. Green, the librarian, who suggested it to the Averys, then himself solicited several ciocks from persons living in Amherst and a few neighboring communities. All Tell Correct Time Mr Avery, by virtue of his pre@minence in the field, has assumed charge of the exhibit and sets aside some of his time each day to wind the clocks so that the display does not become a mere dead museum of timepieces. Nearly every clock is running and each one shows exacily the same hour. The visitor should take special pains to be on hand when an hour strikes, noontime preferably, but almost any hour will do. A person entering the scholarly silence of the library is not quite prepared for what he finds in the secondfloor room. If he entered that room with eyes closed he might imagine himself in a very leaky barn on a rainy day. There is an infinite variety of clicking and clacking noises. Some are loud, some soft, some come in rapid succession, some in stately march. There is constant movement, constant sense of a living presence. When the hour strikes, however, then the room really comes to life. A pleasant, gentle sort of bedlam breaks out. The clocks set to ringing, gonging and chiming in a magical succession of sounds. The listener turns to hear a_ high-pitched bell strike the hour in one part of the room, and a moment later his ear is attracted by the deep-throated dignity of the Big Ben motif in another part. It seems that every pitch in the musical register has been sounded, all at once, and in every conceivable way; as if the mechanism of a carillon, with the variety of a whole orchestra, had suddenly gone awry. Even when all the varied workings’ have come to a rest, the overtones continue to throb distantly in the room. Edgar Allen Poe might easily have been inspired by this musical outburst for his poem, “The Bells,” “Keeping time, time, time, In a sort of Runic rhyme, To the tintinabulation that so wells From the bells, bells, bell, belis, Bells, bells, From the bells.”’ bells— jingling and the On the left is a Silas Hoadley clock. The one in the center is known as a Terry type, being a copy of a design by Eli Terry, famous Connecticut clockmaker and designer, made by one of his contemporaries. The clock at the right was made by Seth Thomas, another famous craftsman. musically tinkling of the The visitor will shortly discover that the Avery clocks, and those that were added from other sources, depict a history of American clockmaking of the first half of the 19th century. That history, told in the most general terms, is this: At the beginning of the century the works of clocks made in America were of wood, or cast brass, and were the product of caréful and individual eraftsmanship. Shortly there appeared a great many Clocks of wood, designed for a low-priced market and manufactured by somewhat primitive mass production methods. <A little Jater in the century, about 18387, to be more exact, sheet metal of American manufacture appeared and gave e@lockmakers' the opportunity to go in for genuine mass production in a rapidly expanding market. An a example of the “wag-on-the-wall” earliest with kind movements. Its maker is unknown. This kind of clock got its name because it has no case, which leaves its: pendulum out in the open and clearly visible. The second kind of clock is most amply represented. It is the kind invented by Eli Terry in Connecticut and copied by many of his contemporaries. Shows “What Makes Them Tick” Books on clocks always dwell at considerable length on “Terry. He seemed to combine the master craftsman with an inventive genius and business ability. What he did was to remake the clock works so completely that it was veritably a new invention. He simplified the movements, arranged the wheels in neater pattern and developed a far more accurate clock than had been gens erally known before at a low price.

The Massachusetts Mothers’ club, which made the selection, announces that the scroll will be presented to Mrs Gilkey today at the First Congregational church at Cambridge, the® same chureh in which Mrs Gilkey “srew up.” The committee also hopes to have Mrs Gilkey cited by Goy Tobin. Mrs Gilkey is the mother of three children and has four grandchildren, | James Gordon Gilkey, Jr., is pastor of the Plymouth Congregational church at Utica, N.

Edith Brigham married Robert Whittemore and lives in Weston, She has one little boy, John, Every mother in town who knows her agrees that the choice of Mrs Gilkey for state mother is a most appropriate one, except Mrs Gilkey herself, who modestly contends that there are many local mothers more deserving the honor. Mothers are al|ways like that, though, so she is just running true. to the highest form, No Gray Hairs You’d never guess’ Mrs Gilkey was a grandmother; there’s not a single gray hair discernible in her softly waved hair. But you can’t talk with her five minutes without understanding why she has been such a successful mother. She is so warmly understanding, so eager to see the other’s viewpoint, so democratic in her outlook, so sympathetic in her (Arthur Mother is held of three children to “embody: those Johnson and four traits Photo) times most a grandmother, highly regarded Mrs Gilkey in mothers.” and to meet people easily in connece Mrs Gilkey feels that her family has tion with her duties as State mother,” been most fortunate in this respect, and also in the fact that they all Native of Cambridge attitude toward the world and its have been. well and healthy through Mrs Gilkey was born in Cambridge the years. , and received her education in the problems, Bringing up children has become “Whatever has been accomplished local schools there.

Battle of Bulge During the Battle of the Bulge, Eisenhower disclosed he ordered Gen. Jacob L.

This, however, entailed the loss of Strasbourg, and the French protested that this would bring “unfortunate political repercussions’ and perhaps even the downfall of Gen, De Gaulle’s government. Eisenhower said the French, although ill-prepared, were ready to make a fight for the historic city, He said he ruled against the French plea on military grounls but changed his decision when he became convinced that the withdrawal might bring ‘‘such grave consequences in France that all |} our lines of communication and our vast rear areas might become. seriously affected through interference with the tasks of the service troops and through civil unrest generally.” —~<f CONGRATULATIONS the former Dorothy L.

The gift to Harvard also includes all copyrights and literary rights previously vested in the Dickinson heirs, Harvard University already has named an editor for the papers, and the Harvard University Press contemplates publishing a, variorum edition of the poems and letters of Emily which will Sive all versions of each poem.

Study of the Dickinson manuscripts at Harvard is expected to shed new light on at least two crucial problems: The ehronological order in which the poems were written, and the exact values and meanings given by Miss Dickinson to each version of each poem, Only five of the poems were published during the poet’s’ lifetime; the remainder were not even prepared for publication by _ their author, Various editors have had a hand in bringing the pieces before. the public, but none of the editions hitherto wholly published regarded text.

Matter of fact, you couldn’t make the same ride today. Can’t Be Done If a burlesque house didn’t stop you, the one-way streets, detours, traffic snarls and small boys selling information on Paul Revere would. I know. I just re-traced your course, not by horse, by automobile. I tried to cover the same 16 miles you did, from Boston past Lexington. Now and then I also duplicated the route night of William Dawes, your fellow express rider that in 1775. First, I went looking for Dr. Joseph Warren’s house, on Hanover St. in Boston, where you got your orders to ride that night. It isn’t there. On the approximate site are a parking lot and. the Casino burlesque theater. Newman’s House Gone Next, through narrow streets and back alleys, past pushcarts and pizzerias and second-floor shops where a bride and bridegroom can rent wedding clothes, I came upon the site of Sexton Robert Newman’s house. He’s the fellow who hung the lanterns in the Old North Church. _ His house is gone. On the ground floor of a five-story brick apartment there is the ‘Marconi Pharmacy.” But just a few steps away, in a neighborhood almost all Italian, ine fine old church still stands. Your family pew is still ere. ‘ i I climbed the 175-foot steeple, where Newman hung the lanterns. It’s covered now with the names of visitors from all over the world. It sways and creaks in the wind. Acting Custodian Robert Winn said: “This is a church, not a museum. First service was held Dec. 29, 1723, the last he last Sunday and the next will be held next Sunay.” ; House Still Stands North Square, where your house is and where you had to duck around redeoats that night, was full of small boys when I got there. One little guy rattled this off: “Paul Revere had 16 children and two wives. This is the hitching post, where his horse chewed the top off,” (The hitching post, however, is less than 40 years old.) Your house has been restored. About 75,000 people come to see it every year. Most of them want to know where you kept the 16 kids. Your mother’s house next door also has been restored. It was in private hands last May when the.cops raided the place and found a bookie operating. Next to your ma’s place is a doughnut shop, a cleaners and “Uncle Dave’s Uncle Dave,” it says.

The dtalians put short ladders against the apple- tee trunks, climb up, wield their long- ‘handled cutters with dexterity. One by one, the lopped, leafless branches fall to the ground, till all the orchard floor is littered with their thin and angular shapes. One by one, the trees stand forth in trimness with freshly-barbered heads, free from dry wood, ready to bud and flower and fruit! What a joy George Washington would get from watching these deft-handed Italians and the finish of their work! The Negroes on his own acres were less skilled, more careless; in their experience ran no long tradition about the pruning of trees. For centuries Italy has been a cultivated land, not the wild, free jungle of colored folk. Yet the colored people sang under the Vir~ ginia sun and liked to see the master come, This firm-faced man had no malice in him and was a hard worker himself, first up in his house. Every day at dawn he pulled on his snuff-hued breeches, toned coat, clapped on hat, took his hickory mounted his horse and his metal-but- his wide-brimmed switch in hand, rode out over the “The life of a husbandman is the most delectable, It is honorable, it is amusing, and, with judicious management, it is prof| itable. ., , The more I am acquainted with agricultural affairs, the better I am pleased with them ... how much more delightful to an undebauched mind is the task of mak- ing improvements on the earth than all the vain glory which can be acquired from rav- aging it, by the most of conquests.” uninterrupted So he wrote to Arthur Young, career editor of | the “Annals of Agriculture” and the outstanding farmer of Great Britain in that day. Washington read the “Annals” regularly, as well as all the other farm. literature he could put finger upon—Tull’s “Horse-hoe- ing Husbandry,” Duhamel’s “Practical Treatise of Husbandry,” “The Farmer’s Compleat Guide,” Home’s “Gentleman _ |Farmer.” From France and England he gleaned the latest facts about lucerne, al| falfa, blight, plows, potatoes and a multitude of things that he wanted to try out in the shallow, virgin Virginia soil.

When ington brought his bride to Mount Vernon, in_ 1759, he dreamed of becoming the foremost agriculturalist in the land. Enthusiastically he engaged in experiments such as crop rotation; but of necessity he delegated the management of the estate to his cousin, when he was called to lead the army. On his return to Mount Vernon, in 1783, he hoped to resume agricultural pursuits and to enjoy domestic life. Once again, however, his plans were interrupted, when he became the first President of the United States. Ultimately he did enjoy two quiet years, at Mount Vernon, to which estate he returned in 1797. > Mount Vernon is a Georgian colonial house of two stories, with a graceful cupola on the hipped roof. The brick porch, flanked with tall columns, faces east. IN VIRGINIA �4 ANOTHER MILESTONE REACHED LOOKING EASTWARD Located on the corner of Maple and High Streets, the 77-year-old church has long been considered a beautiful landmark. �( ) Amid colorful ceremonies the new Memorial Parish House attached to South Congregational Church was dedicated. The new structure not only adds to the facilities of the church but enhances its beauty. The original church structure was completed in 1873, when Maple Street was one of the ‘new streets east of the center of Springfield, and the city had a population of 30,000. It is constructed of East Longmeadow brownstone and originally seated about 600. In 1920, three years after Dr. Gilkey became South Church's minister; nearly $200,000 was spent installing balconies and modernizing the entire structure. The present seating capacity is over 1000.

James Astrue will have proved that, given time, tenacity, and a modest amount of information, a man can still amass an astonishing amount of peanuts. Astrue started playing NBC’s Tic Tac Dough last November. When he started to win, he worked out a deal with his superiors at New Jersey’s McGuire Air Force Base. He had 70 days of accumulated leave; why not let him go to Manhattan on alternate weeks and tape his appearances in advance? That way Astrue could seem to the audience to be competing steadily, week after week, five days a week. Permission was granted. Week after week, Astrue won. Housewives, journalists, college professors—he beat them all. He did not miss too many of his tough questions and made the most of his share of the snaps. M.C. Bill Wendell asked him if it was true that Robert Hutchins was once chancellor of the University of Chicago. What are the ingredients of a martini? His opponents went down on such questions as: What city, once known as San Francisco’s bedroom, is the third largest city in California? What two states at what dates came into the U.S. before Alaska? While Astrue won, Tic Tac Dough’s Nielsen rating rose steadily. When he began this week’s competition, he had won $137,800.* But by week’s end, Lieut. James Astrue will have used up all his leave. When M.C. Wendell asks him what British adventurer explored the waters around Jamestown in 1608 and afterward the waters around New England, what will he say? Will he say John Smith and stay on the show? Or will he say Raleigh, lose his championship to one Dave Fries, and go back to duty witha check for $143,600 in his pocket?

Carpets have come from various sources, a pit of an old shawl, a piece of hand weaving, rugs braided by Mrs. Steele of yarn. Picture frames were once; lockets or brooches. A formal parlor boasts a pair of miniatures done on porcelain of Martha and George Washington. Chairs have been reupholstered, others are Windsor, black-andgold, or whatever particular mood is wished. Accessories are infinite in variety: tiny tin candle sconces, human hair flowers under wee glass domes, grandfather clocks, pewter ‘ware, a Shaker stove (Shakers peddled through the Cummington section), fringed linen towels, wash stand sets, an eagle-breast fireplace fender, and a talking machine, with its morning glory horn. As though all these miniatures were not enough, the Steeles have covered the walls of the building with mementoes of yesterday: cattle show posters, ‘a calling card collection, valentines, advertising cards, paper dolls, bookmarks. Cabinets display children’s dish ‘sets, blue Staffordshire, 1820, lacy Sandwich, Leeds, brown and blue edge, Swansea, opaline glass.
