Every time the historic old shaft hits another million, a little cere mony is held. And each time the recipient is puzzled about what to Goest Paiiled Probably the most puzzled was No. 14.000.000, who on July 23, 1941, was quoted as saying: . "Baa goo! Phlbb glisb!" No. 14.000.000 was Charles Kline, 1 at that time IS months old. i As you can see, the monument has had a varied history. It also is an impressive illustration of the futility of trying to get Congress to hustle. For congressional talk of a suit able monument to Washington be gan in August, 1783. The talk grew and the monument didn't, so in 1843 the Washington National Mon ument Society, with Chief Justice Marshall at its bead, was set up to do the job with private funds. CoraersiMM'la 1141 By 1848 the society had collected $87,000, and the cornerstone wa? laid. Well, the Civil War came along, ard what with one thing and an other, the monument stalled at 130 fert. and for years wss Ihe butt of jibes, local and international. Finally Congress took a hand and Ihe 555-foot structure was finished in 1884, a mere 101 years after Ihe talk began. Hit by Lightning Since then it has been struck by lightning thousands of times, has survived hurricane winds and at least one minor earthquake, has been studied by professors who re ported it is sinking into the earth at the rale of one-fortieth of an inch a year, and has had at least three people walk down Its 898 steps on their hands. The hand walking record, in case you love to collect utterly use less statistics, is 41 minutes and 30 seconds. The elevator, which costs adults a dime, can whisk you to the top in no time, but for somewhat ob scure reasons one visitor in 10 climbs the stairs. No statistics are available on how many regret their 898 steps up. But the monument lovely against the blue sky on a clear day takes everything in stride.

Swearingen, Bend cattle rancher and former head of the Oregon Farm Bureau Federation, made his statement in a letter to Charles B. Shuman, president of the na tional group. Swearingen said "countless farm bureau members are dissatisfied, chagrined and hurt by the utter lack of imagination, sympathy and leadership exhibited by you arid your board of directors." Swearingen, formerly of. Salem, contended mr--Ameroatr-r'arro Bureau Is misleading its members. Shuman said a membership poll is not justified. 'Show and Tell' Game at School Reveals Father's Tragic Death AUSTIN. Tel. (AW'Show and Tell" is a game of sharing lor children in the lower grades at Maplewood School. It is then the pupils tell about the new baby at home, a new puppy, a trip . . . and other special things. Jimmy Rose, third grader, held up his hand Wednesday during "Show and TeD," and bis teacher, Mrs. Myra Montgomery called on bim. "My daddy was killeo yester day in an airplane crash," Jimmy said. Brilliant, quiet yet lively and happy Jimmy Rose is an 1-year-old boy who has a special niche in the hearts of his teachers and friends at Maplewood. He's the kind of boy who can be relied on to tell things accurately. So Jimmy's classroom became very quiet as he continued his "Show and TeD" report "My mother told me U be bravo and not to cry. She said that is what daddy would have wanted me to do," said Jimmy. "But mother cried a lot." he added. Quick tear cam to Mrs. Mont gomery's eye.
