This Is only one of the remarkable statements that an in terview with A. Lyman, citizen of Medford,commander of tho G. A. It., of thut city, and said to be the oldest Kotnrlon in Oregon, who was, a visitor in La Grande last week at the home of hiscousill, J. K. Keynolds. . Tho civil w'nr vut ernn mii'ht well be called the . grand old man of Medford, except ,; f or tho fact Unit he emphatically ,ifto not want to be called an old man. "Growing old is partly- the fault of one's mind, nnd. Tin .keep ing my mind young," declares this veteran of the civil war, who has developed an Inspiring philosophy that lias tho mellowed wisdom of agu and yet the exuberance, and enthusiasm of youth. More than three-quarters of century ot life through an era that has wrought mighty changes In the world has been the experience of Mr.. Lyman. At 17 years or ge he enlisted with iiin 1'ninn armv and was in a com pany of 136. Today 133 of that company have gone beyond. Dur ing his youth he saw Lincoln, not when he was the nation's presi dent, but w hen, lie was a young attorney, unknown to this nation, during a business transaction in Indiana. Today he hears the name Lincoln mentioned at tho very height of America's hall of fame. lifty years or so ago, Mr. LynianJ carried the dully mail for his father. Who, was a post master, on horseback. Today he watches the mail fly over his head. These are only a few ot the great strides that Mr. Lyman has seen. Years have not lessened the keenness of Ills vision for the. future. ".Science has only begun her marvels." he says. "Some of us 'older folk arc In clined to believe that the peak of greut accomplishments has been .reached. Hut 1 do not there. are great things in store for the generations of tho next 100 years." prophesies this man. "Yes. I want to take lin airplane ride some day. although I've never quite had Ihe opportunity yet." Mr. Lyman de clares. "Football Is a great game, we had a fine team at Mcdiord this year." 'Haseball. however. Is his favorite sport, und he Is a fre quent atendant of baseball guinea. Mr. Lyman Is commander of a G. A. It. of 14 members ut Medford. F.ach year he entertains his fel low veterans ut tt birthday dinner, but each year the number of guests dwindles, he says. "They ,.i,.,.i me commander because I'm able to get around more. I love to j want, you tnw", " . ly. Mr. Lyman recently joined the ltotarians and says that the j MedTord organizations boasts that he Is the oldest in the state.
