10 D WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22, 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Gothic Cathedra! Worthy of Visit By RALPH VILLERS United Frtu International Cologne-OIPHf Cologne, no badly damaged during World War II, had not been rebuilt, and all its hundreds of thou sands of inhabitants had moved away, the site still would offer one of the most rewarding visits possible any where in the world. The reason simply: Cologne cathedral. This overwhelming Gothic structure was started in 1248 when Cologne was a northern crossroads for Jerusalem bound pilgrims. Almost miraculously, it es caped with what could be de scribed as minor damage con sidering that the area about it was about 93 per cent de stroyed during the wartime bombings. The cathedral with its twin, MO-foot spires, pokes above the city and into view long before you arrive at city cen ter by train. But even the pre view is deceptive, especially stepping out of the Central Railroad station unprepared for the massive monument to Cologne's long religious tradi tion. Restoration Restoration work inside and outside the cathedral has been going on since the war. But an impression of damage still remains on an outside front corner, where the mas sive and richly carved slone has not been - and may never be - replaced. Inside, bland replacements mark destroyed stained glass windows, but fortunately more were saved than lost and the richness of the blues, greens and deep reds filter the outside light Into a stale of reverent beauty. Part of the inspiralinn to start the cathedral in the Thirteenth century - and to continue building until 1880 . -was the city's devotion to what are believed the remains of the Three Magi, brought here from Milun in 1104, and now contained in a rich gold and silver casket in a shrine behind the high altar. The central, and possibly most beautiful, of the stained glass windows recounts the worship of the Three Kings In medieval hues. In the Chaprl of the Cross Is found the Gero crucifix, which dates from about 970. and is the oldest inlact carved cruifix north of the Alps. The cathedral stands in the shape of a giant cross, with the vaulted inside ceiling ris ing 140 feet ahnvc the fine, small mosaic work of the floor. Yet for its 4H8 feet in terior length (one-and-a-half times the length of a football field), the view up the center aisle gives the appearance of a narrow little church. It's virtually impossible to capture the entire cathedral's front on film without going blocks away. It is hemmed in by the buildings around. One of the best perspective views of the famed cathedral is a short walk across the rail road bridge to the other side of the Rhine river. There from the river-facing fair grounds, the truly majestic beauty of Cologne cathedral falls into focus. Cologne is a city of many old churches, but It also is one of the most ultra-modern cities to be found. From the ruhhle rose glass, sleel, and marble tributes to a reborn city. An example is the Gcr ling Concern, the office of a large insurance company, a five-storied, marble-walled building looking like a mod ern palace with its spouting fountains. For all ils modernism anrl the contrasting Gothic of the cathedral, Cologne is an an rient city, dating from the times of Roman military oc cupation. Most impressive of its Roman reminders is a sprawling mosaic floor, uncov ered near the cathedral while a bomb shelter was being dug in 1942. Now restored, the mosaic is the central attrac tion of the Dionysian museum. The work depicts oysters, fowl and other foods, leading to belief the mosaic once formed the dining room in the home of a wealthy Roman.

COAST-YO-COAST STORES 117 North Cntrl Prion. 773-173 Original Copy of Constitution Has Many Revisions Philadelphia - ll'PD - In ap pearance, the original draft of the U. S. Constitution, written here during the sum mer of 1787, could easily pass for schoolboy's term paper. Words, sentences and para graphs are crossed out and reworked and new ideas are scrawled in the margins, marked with asterisks. Hand written on seven sheets of legal-sized paper, the original document still is legible de spile the many corrections and long sentences squeezed on single lines. The original is referred to as the James Wilson draft after the Philadelphia lawyer who put it on paper. Insured for $500,000, the composition is on exhibit at the Pennsyl vania Historical society. It has never left this city. although the final draft of the precious document is kept in a helium-filled, glass-covered case in Washinglon. Preatrbl Is Exampl The preamble of the origi nal exemplifies the extensive revision undertaken by the framers. It begins-with, "The people of the Stales of . . ." followed by the names of the original 13 stales. This subsequently was changed lo read, "The people of Ihe United Slates do agree Male Modesty Hurt By Hospital Gown By WALTER LOGAN United Press International New York-(UPI)-One ar ticle of men's wear that doesn't seem to have changed since the days of Florence Nightingale is a mortifying lit-i lie garment the nurses call a I "Johnny coat," a sort of j shorty nightgown. It is white and probably made of sackcloth to make the patient realize the helpless ness of his predicament and the futility of flight should he change his mind about go ing through what the doctors call "minor" surgery. For the record, it has short, raglan sleeves and what is called a crew collar or maybe a T-square neckline. There it drops any prelense at style unless one is fond of a plung ing back neckline one that plunges all the way. It is fastened with two ties, one at the back of the neck, the other on the level of the shoulder blades. From there upon . . . But "agree upon" was crossed out and "ordain" was inserted. "Ordain" still appar ently wasn't the right word, so "declare" was tried. "Declare" was right either and the result was "establish." Then someone inserted "We" at the beginning with a little arrow pointing up to it. The completed paragraph, which has stood the test of time ever since, begins: "We. the people of the United States . . ." Much the same pattern fol lows through all seven articles. it falls gracefully in what the ladies call an "A" line in an ever increasing split which means the nether regions are never quite covered. Aid Is Necessary Embarrassingly, it is im possible to don one of these nighties without aid the ties cannot be reached no mat ter how desperately one tries and in the end one is forced to slide backwards toward a waiting and unblushing nurse who lies things up. The length is more fash ionably short than the new raincoats which come above the knees and are all right if you don't mind wet legs. These come well above the knees. Wearing such an abomina tion with any degree of mod esty is an art. By taking tiny steps, slaying out of- drafts and reaching around and clutching it together behind you you can close most of the gaps. This was in St. Clare's hos pital where Ihcy take injured rodeo riders and hockey play ers from nearby Madison Square garden. So next time you read of one of them in trouble give them your sym pathy. They'll be in Johnny coats - - and a lot of the play er's are better than six feet tall. Hospital Gear A few tips on what In take with you to a hospital: a mirror to go with an electric razor so you can lie back in bed and shave in luxury . . . Several sets of drip dry pa jamas which can be rinsed out overnight and substituted for Johnny coats . . . Backless houseslippers (mules) so you can reach down from the as tronomical height of your bed and stick your toes into them without having to bend over ... A washable bath-1 many men's sweaters and robe since people spill a lot of sportswear next tan. i ney are thinas in hospitals . . . and 'believed to be worn by many leave your modesty behind. Another facet of hospital life is the Ben line, which is Casey neck featured in surgeons but surgeons only stare in horror if you ask. Nurses say some do and som don't.
