three modern touches to the story
1900 years old.
While 3,900 actors In the religious
drama sing In the finale, Pilot Art
Ooebel will take bla plane roaring
aloft to sky-write a benediction
"Peace on earth."
A public address system will carry
actors' voices to the big audience,

A third twentieth century flourish
will be the gowns of the actors.
Prom the now dust-covered cav
erns of the Ku Klux Klsn have been
brought 400 hoods and gowns to be
worn by the angels.
"We had to find costumes for 3,800
actors," said the Rev. A. M. Wallock,
director of the service. "We need
the robes. They will be returned
after the pageant."
Five hundred "angels" will make
their appearance at 3:30 a. m., de

the star of Bethlehem. Cherubim and
Seraphim In silver and gold appear.
Two thousand voices swell In a

An angel comes and ministers unto
Jesus.
The scene shifts abruptly. By the
guttering light of a torch, Jesus Is
seized by the mob and Is dragged
before Pontius Pilate.
Deep silence follows the condemn

Mother Howlett
April 7, 1936, Eagle Point witnessed
the largest and moat Impressive fun
eral service ever held here, when
hundreds paid their last tribute to
Its oldest and best beloved citizen,
lovingly known aa "Ma" Howlett.
She had been a resident of Eagle
Point for 64 yeara, comlrtg to Oregon
84 years ago, crossing the plans with
her parents, at the age of 4 years.
On July 16, 1863, she waa married
to Alfred C. Howlett near Oregon
City, to which union 18 children
were born, all except two preceding
her In death. Her husband passed
away in May, 1924.
"Ma" Howlett endeared herself to
everyone, both young and old, who
chanced to come within the radius
of her all Inclusive love and gener
osity, it is hard to put Into words
the hardships and self sacrifices these
old pioneers, such as "Ma" Howlett,
had to endure In coming to and set
tling this country, and also difficult
for the younger generation to con
ceive of the .fortitude and courage
with which she alwaya met every
emergency. No matter how great her
own burden or grief, she waa ever
ready to lend a helping hand and a
word of comfort to others In sick
ness and disease. She took homeless
and motherless ones Into her home,
caring for them as her own, a mother
to all.
