ANOTHER OF THE BOYS IN BLUE
Minn. GAR Vet Recalls
Lincoln-Douglas Debate
Duluth, Minn., Aug. 22 U,R) Albert Woblson quit worrying
when he was a "youngster" of 50 and has felt fine ever since.
He's 102 now.
He was feeling "chipper" enough today to start "getting set"
for the last encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic at
Indianapolis August 28. Only-
six of the surviving 17 boys in
blue will attend the meeting
the last one to be held.
Woolson said he hasn't done
a lick of worrying since his half
century mark. He smokes one
cigar a day.
His eyes are good enough,
though he wears glasses. His
conversation is sharp and his
memory astounding. His rudy
face has a few wrinkles and he
gets about snappily. However,
he is almost deaf.
Woolson recalls when he saw
two famous men sail into each
other on a debating platform.
"I saw a tall man with a stove
pipe hat," he says, "and my
father told me that was Abra
ham Lincoln. The other man
was Douglas."
Woolson was born in New
York state but came to Minne
sota in the early 1860's. He
volunteered with the first Min
nesota heavy artillery in 1863
and later became a drum major,
serving in the Georgia campaign.
He has been married twice.
: He reared two boys and three
girls by his first wife and three
girls by his second, who is still
living. One of his sons, Char-
. les, a Dayton, Wash., druggist,
-will accompany him on the train
' to Indianapolis.
The old soldier gets up ev
ery day at 6 a.m., reads the pa-
' pers, writes numerous letters
; and spends considerable time go
ing over his memoirs. He likes
to talk and visit neighbors.
Every year on his birthday
February 11, the day before
Lincoln's, children from nearby
Nettleton school parade to his
home and place an American
flag in the front yard.
His advice to humanity is
curiously reminiscent of Lin
coln's own sentiment:
"Be moderate in all things,"
Woolson tells the grownups.
And to the children he adds:
"Stay close to your mother's
teachings, and always trust In
God."

New Car Lock
Helps Safety
"Safety First" is more than a
slogan to the parent that drives
with small children in his car.
It. is an ever-present challenge
to protect his small charges from
falling from the moving auto
mobile. To ease this worry there's a
new magnetic lock designed for
passenger car doors that op
erates whenever the automobile
motor is running. Primarily it
is meant to prevent passengers
from falling from the car while
it is in motion, but It will also
prevent intruders from break
ing into the car while stopped
for traffic lights, for example.
The lock is simple in con
struction and may be installed
quickly by a garage attendant
while the driver is about his
shopping. The lock has no
springs, is magnetically con
trolled.
Once the lock is installed car
doors will not open while the
automobile is in, motion. A but
ton switch on the dash will al
low the exit or entry of passen
gers at the will of the operator,
when the engine is running.

Mattie Bruce Cooked Way
Across Pass 75 Years Ago
Stayt'on The same Santiam pass which was given a new high
way and dedicated Sunday, August 14, in ceremonies at Breiten
bush bridge when caravans from the east and west met, was first
crossed by a Stayton woman, Mrs. Mattie Bruce, 85, who literally
cooked ner way across.
A movement to build a road
over the mountains was started
by John Minto of Salem who
sold shares of the road to men
in the canyon who worked out
the shares. Ephriam Hennes con
tracted to board the road crew
and hired a Mrs. Turnidge of
Mill City to cook for them. Mrs.
Turnidge soon grew tired of her
cooking job and left.
One of the men who was
working on the road was Lind
sey Preston Berry of Fox Val
ley. He dispatched his brother
Jim, who also on the road crew,
back to Fox Valley to bring
back Berry's two daughters,
Pamelia, almost 17, and Mattie,
15 years old. The girls cooked
for the men and enjoyed the
days in the mountains immen
sely. Mattie was the first woman to
cross the pass, making the re
turn by mule. Mrs. Bruce said
recently, in telling of her camp
cookery venture, "I remember
it like it was only yesterday."
Pamelia lake near Marion
Forks in the Cascades, was said
to have been named for Mattie's
sister, Pamelia, who has since
passed away. The girls were
born on their father's donation
land claim at Fox Valley where
he was known to everyone as
"Uncle Pres." A part of his
