Bock Stairs: Burning Tree Unimpressive

doesn't rate very high by some

Rep. George Mahon (D-Tex.)
a club member, tells of taking
a fellow Texan out to Burning
Tree. Mahon thought his guest
might be impressed on seeing
the club where Eisenhower
plays. The Texan was mighty
disappointed.
Seems the spartan furnishings
of the small stone and brick
club house failed to measure up
to the clubhouse "we have back
home."
The Texan might have been
impressed more by a stag party
held there recently. Tables were
set up around the first tee and
white coated waiters tended to
the wishes of the gathered
"VIP" members.
A highlight was a contest to
see who could tell the best golf
story. Vice President Richard M.

Two Plane Crashes

The Smithsonian Institution
has displays of the earliest
American houses and furniture,
in the form of miniature mod
els. The design and structure of
the Colonial versions of the Eng
lish half-timbered house are ac
curately represented. A basic
item is the "crotchet," hewed
to hook frame and roof mem
bers together. The English ax
men of the expedition were as
necessary to the establishment
of Jamestown Colony as the sol
diers of Captain John Smith and
the sailors of Captain Newport.
History and legend have to
gether fixed impressions since
childhood for most of us on the
early history of Plymouth and
Jamestown Colonies. The Pil
grim Fathers live for us in the
romance of Myles Standish. Pris
cilla Mullen and John Alden,
and bur hearts recall Pocha
hontas. Captain John Smith, and
John Rolfe.
But in both places the true
history was one of work, work
without ceasing, first of all in
the forest. There nature had
stored wood to be hewn and
shaped into shelter and gathered
for fuel. Forest animals and
fowl were sources of food and
of not a little winter clothing
and bedding.
Through all the struggles of
the early American years trees
were the mainstay. Eventually,
the virgin timber was harvested
for many miles around both
Plymouth and Jamestown. New
crops grew into sawtimber, and
were cut again. And again and
again.
The valley of the James is
tree-farm country in 1957. This
spring a forest fire threatened
today's Plymouth and its popu
lation of 14.000 persons. Only a
providential rainstorm saved the
community.
Trees are the living tie that
binds us to history in America.
