Plays Old -Time Tunes
On His 'Bargain Fiddle

(AP Newsfeaturei)
Stradivarius? J. C. Wilson lost his leg in a mowing ma
chine accident several years ago. But he doesn't want to lose
his fiddle.
Black lettering inside the box reads, "Antonius Stradivarius.
Cremonensis, Faciebat Anno 1734." That would indicate it
was made by Antonio Stradivari, most famous member of
the great Cremona, Italy, family of violin makers.
Wilson says he was once offered $500 cash for his violin
and turned it down. But a genuine Stradivarius may sell for a
six-figure price. On the other hand lesser violin makers
have sometimes put the Stradivari name 1n their own work.
An expert could probably tell in a few minutes whether the
Wilson violin is genuine, but Wilson says no expert has come
to look at it.
He says he bought it 40 years ago. paid $22.50 for it and
a banjo he got at the same time. Wilson is 71 years old.
He still plays old-time tunes on his fiddle as well as the folk
songs of the Tennessee mountains. He lives at Isham, Tenn.,
a little town by an abandoned railroad.

GOING BACK TO ANCIENT TIMES

Symbols of Golden Age
Used by India in Flag, Coins
(AP NrwjffnturM)
India is going back to her golden age for symbols on her
flag, coins and seal.
Torn by religious strife, she is turning to a religion which has
declined to minor status in her territory for the same symbols.
The Asoka pillar, the Asoka lions and the wheel of law also
recall a great emperor and stress
peace and virtue. They are used
where America would use the
eagle, Britain the lion.
Asoka, the emperor, ruled In
dia from 264 to 228 of 227 B.C.
He was the grandson of Chan
dragupta who founded the Mau
rya or Peacock dynasty.
Chandragupta took provinces
of India from Seleucus who was
one of Alexander's successors.
When Asoka came to the Pea
cock throne, he ruled all but the
southern tip of what is now In
dia and much to the north which
was never part of British India.
Ruling while Rome was still
rising to power, he was prob
ably the most powerful man of
his time. India still remembers
him as a kindly, efficient king.
In the ninth year of his reign,
Asoka went to war. When he
saw the horrors of war, he turn
ed to religion.
His work with the Buddhist
faith has been compared with
that of Constantine with the
Christian. He made large grants
to the Buddhists and encouraged
their work. However, as far
as India is concerned. Buddhism
declined after Asoka. It is of
little importance there.
There are many who feel that
Asoka's personal religion was
purely ethical with no theology
and no ritual. To help spread
his faith and his precepts, he
set up pillars in 14 different
places in India. They were in
scribed with texts and symbols.
It is one of these pillars, the
Sarnath capital in Asoka, India,
from which the symbols being
used by the modern Indian state
are taken.
The wheel of law was in
scribed on the pillar and has
been widely used since. It is a
symbolic design said to desig
nate the common man, purity
and good sense. Modern India
uses it as the central design in
her flag.
Asoka Lions This design
from the Sarnath capital in
Asoka is used for the seal of
India and on her coins. The
wheel of law below the lions'
feet is also the design in the
Indian flag.
On India's coins and seal, a
picture of the pillar with three
of its lions are used where the
king's head was formerly placed.
