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.

A fine display of these treasures will be held in the parlors of the First Congregational Church on the afternoon and evening of Noy. 11 and on the afternoon mittee has of tried hunt and hobby clubs in the to Nov. 12. show a make The com- civic affair this treasure and they have invited anyone who is interested in a hobby or anyone who has some interesting treasure to participate in the show. They expect that the whole community will be eager to visit the show and an invitation has been extended to all of the Fourteenth Districts to make a trip on these dates. and Fifteenth “come and see”’ Northampton as a city has such a fine historical background that it is . not strange that stored away in scented wrappings are many lovely old gowns about which cluster many inti-: mate memories. 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.

All of the dolls have a his- about these tory and Miss Fowler will be present during the entire show to tell some of the interesting things very old toys. 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.

Mr. Welles called the supper gathering, When he arrived at the church he said he was told by “Greenie,” (the sexton) 751 last Sunday,” meaning the attendance. Mr. Welles said he was pleased to come back and see what was happening, to see the affection you have for Mr. Penner; it was a deep and abiding satisfaction. No church that had a one hundredth anniversary could have had a more auspicious one as I look around and see the good workers and how bright the future looks. We all lift up crateful hearts and give thanks to God. He spoke of the youthfulness still being shown by some of the older members, mentioning particularly ‘“Grandma”’ Sears and “Hattie’ Hill, as he called them, and remarking how “chipper” they still were. 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. Barstow sup- plied the church pulpit so often and almost continuously for many weeks, that he came to be known as pastor pro tempore. 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 ©.

He describes this same pastor as a “good old grayhaired smooth-bore preacher, whose with the} discourses never sparkled faintest gleam of a striking or original idea.” He had however, a great attachment to the boys of the Genung family, largely owing to his talent in whittling out “saw-boys,” dulum-like.

Edwards in his Narrative Remarkable Conversions. Behind the brick block, corner of Bridge and Market streets, is part of a house that the late Christopher Clarke said was, in its oldest part, older than the Parsons house. The’ two rooms in this oldest part were almost cabin-shaped and were beautifully panelled in white painted wood. The very | low ceilings had heavy wooden > beams through their centers. | At the time of her marriage,| mother’s mother, Caroline Clapp| Williams, moved from King street to this house, where her nine children were born and where she died, having lived her entire 83 years in but two houses, Her husband made _ the little house into a larger one of many low, rambling rooms of different |to shapes; another steps from one level and a tiny, curved staircase almost in the wall, on the Market street side. It was in the attic here that, a few years ago, was found a deed signed by John Pynchon, the founder of) Springfield. If it is true that the _ first wedding in Northampton took place in that much remodelled house between the Baptist church and Forbes library, that must be, in part, as old as the two “oldest” Bridge still killed.

His correspondence was with the great scientists of his time, including Huxley and Charles Darwin. How often have I wished that all houses bore somewhere, as the Lewis Parsons house bears on its great chimney, their date of erection. 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.

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.

During the eighteenth century Northampton contributed to the nation at feast four of its most influential men: Jon-' athan Edwards (the only Amer‘ilean writer recognized in Europe, and a leadee in metaphy- sical thought of the world),} President Timothy Dwight, Ma-j jor Hawley and Gov. calen/ Strong. Not one of the homes of these great men has been saved. When I think of these men's mentality and influence, and that of the sort Of visitors they drew, and think of the talk Washington (and also an influ- ential member of that first Congress) used to come over from Stockbridge to see Northampton friends.

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.

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.

The iibest that every individual or group has produced anywhere in the wor!d has always been available to serve the race of men, regardless of nation or color. “What is true of the medical sciences is true of the other sciences. Whether it is mathematics or chemistry, whether it is bridges or automobiles or a new device for making cotton cloth or a cyclotron for studying atomie structure, ideas cannot be hedged in behind geographical bar- riers. Thought cannot be nationalized. The fundamental unity of. civilization is the unity of its intellectual life. “There is a real sense, therefore, in which the things that divide us are trivial as years the compared with the things) that unite us. The foundations of a cooperative world have already been) laid. It is not as if we were starting| from the beginning. For at least 300 process has been at work, until today the cornerstones of society are the common interests that relate to the welfare of all men everywhere. “In brief, the age of distinct human societies, indifferent to the fate of one another, has passed forever; and the |great task that will confrent us after \the war is to develop for the com- munity of nations new areas and technics of cooperative action which will fit the facts of our twen- | tieth century interdependence. We ‘need rallying points of unity, centers around which men of differing cultures and faiths can combine, defined fields of need or goals of effort in which by pooling its brains and re-| sources the human race can add to | its own well-being. Only as we begin to build, brick by brick, in these areas of common interest where cooperation is possible and the results are of benefit to all, can we erect the ultimate structure of a united. society.” 3 eee �Named to High O.

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. Mr. Murdock’s orchard and sugar |} house is near the state road and while in operation many visitors are welcomed to see what is going on.

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 .

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.

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. John Stoddard, a prominen t man in town 1 and state., :!~ ow.ned the first and for a long . tl_me ,J he only gold watch in North.a-mpton, and · his daughters rode to Boston on horseback .o attend school. pie l �Th e B rick chu rch i s g-r ea tly I by builde rs and archit ects for its s uspend ed ceiling , bo \ pPws, pe r fect propo r tion s, hi gh ma hogan y p ul pit and t e m ple- lik e atmos 11he re . .J u st to ~it q u iet ly for 1 a f ew norn e nls in thi s his lo r i<' build ing , is a t reat to hun<lr e ct s or vi si Lors w ho come rrn n ual! y Lo ! 1prized DEERFIELD 'S FAMOUS LANDMARKS ON VIEW I Historic Buildings and Copy of Old Indian House Will Be Open to Pl!bl:c I 1 Decrfif'ld , June ~. -A n OPJJO!' · tunlty to ins1>ect Dee rfield ·s moRt buildi ngs. histor ic celebr ated Frary house , 1689 , the beauti fu , Brick church , 1824. and an au • t llentic ated and almos t perfec t copy of tlle famou s Iudiau house , 16 98, at its forma l OJ)e ning and in which at the same time thi:, Deerfi eld indust ries will be di8• played , will be _given the public during the week of June 9.

As the scrapbooks are scanned and optically character recognized, additional scrapbooks will be added to the collection. There are several scrapbooks in the archive that have not been digitized; those are not members of this collection. Some of these items are bound books and others loose-leaf binders.
